Leftism was invented in 1990 by Michael Crichton. This is what he looks like today
michael crichton welcome to the resistance
yeah i read theory
I had a long discussion with Grok.
How can you trust grok to tell you if something is woke, when grok itself is woke?
Those who fight woke are doomed to become woke.
If you gaze into the woke, the woke gazes back at you.
maybe they think it sounds better than “I was talking to myself”?
I’m pretty sure they think grok and all the other chatbots are like magical correcto machines and as such, mentioning talking to Grok elevates this in their mind from “I think X” to “the correcto machine says X is right”
I’m glad someone said it. I tried watching the new Jurassic Park films and not a single dinosaur had a penis. The best part of the original film was comparing the penis stats and woke ruined that.
The lack of penises is a pretty big plot point in the first movie
It’s why they built the island if I’m not mistaken. To make the largest.
‘You, you stood on the penises of geniuses so you could accomplish something as fast as you could’
woke needs to go one step further and have penises only on girl dinosaurs
the transasaurus-rex will reign supreme in woke jurassic park
I just want proud heterosexual dinosaurs worshiping god and comparing their penises in the swamp.
That’s already a plot point in Jurassic Park
Frogs can sometimes
. They were rmade with modified female frog DNA. And life…found a way. Every now and then I am reminded that the crazy frog has his horrible little worm out. Thanks!
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I had a conversation with Grok
Into the locker with you nerd!
A good amount of discussion and debates on Twitter have people asking grok “is this true ?” Some people really put to much trust in thoses bots.
The machine programmed to be agreeable agrees with me!
Unironically realized this with chatGPT. I had to fucking go out of my way in a discussion to get it to criticize me…and then immediately ask if I want counterarguments for that criticism.
We need to yank the “redpill” meme out of the normie’s hands. Because idiots like the pepe crusader guy are more concerned about being super cool and fashionable irl supervillains than the truth: porky is scum and white men aren’t fucking special.
This is the machine logic, people’s thought patterns are and will be influenced by the technology that they “offshore” their investigative impulses and deductive reasoning to. I have been saying this for years even on this site.
Butlerian Jihad now.Wow this is such a boomer Luddite take. By saying that you’re only going to be further left behind as everyone else continues to use this technology. People said the same thing about tv and radio! Now excuse me while I ask ChatGPT if my three sentences sufficiently destroyed you.
You are correct. According to Grok these are expressions of psychosis related to obsessing over 1960’s fiction and a deep-seated fear of change.
ChatGPT also told me I should ask my doctor if Zoloft is right for me.
I sometimes just don’t pay my internet bill for the summer and touch grass. I’ll still torrent stuff off my work wifi and post on work wifi but it means if I’m at home I can’t Google things. I have totally found with the first time doing so which was for like 2 years cause poverty that I was thinking things through more carefully and there were a lot of answers that I could put together with what I already know and some logic. It can be good to operate without instant resources to information
Yes, I am serious but I am also joking about Butlerian Jihad. It’s not just that people need to touch grass, people need to engage with the greater world around them unmediated at least in some capacity. Part of the existential shithole that is living in the west is the hyper-atomization. insert sappy paragraph about how love is the antidote, engage with the people and wildlife in your life and the planet itself on whatever terms in any capacity.
Speaking of wildlife, I had a close encounter just the other day:
Very handsome and begging for chips extremely politely. (They also have a beautiful song but this one wasn’t making any sounds, it snuck up on me so I looked up and WHOA MAGPIE BEAK RIGHT BY MY EYE. Top three bird imo.)
I just like doing my own thinking. I’m not far from a library where there are lots of books and people trained to help me get the ones I need to learn the thing I want to learn, the longer it takes to get an answer the better the answer usually
Exactly what I’m yapping about.
I guess for me personally it’s less about the atomization angle cause I socialize a decent amount and have some degree of community going on and having more ‘friction’ constant instant gratification in any form is bad
I actually find it quite disturbing how often an online discussion will at some point involve someone saying “well I went and checked this with grok/chatgpt/whatever” with apparently no idea that they’re just asking the lying machine to tell them lies.
I know search engines are becoming increasingly enshittified, but asking an “”“AI”“” questions seems like more effort than skimming Wikipedia or even digging through actual, published, academic papers to find answers. A lot of these chatbots give different answers to the same inputs, making them completely unreliable.
I don’t get it. Maybe I’m too boomer-brained or something.
I also don’t get it, they’re excellent drafting tools if you struggle with writers block like I do, but only if you have a thorough understanding of what you want to write already.
They’re also useful for semantic search that fills a gap google should’ve been doing for years but won’t because of capitalism. I.e. I needed a set of studio speakers that would fit in certain dimensions, and the slop machine parsed that query and shat out a list of like 8 that were a much easier starting point for a search than I could’ve gotten with a traditional search engine or whatever shitty general-purpose filters offered by a music supplier website, much less the secondary markets I wanted to source them from. And if any of them were made up that was immediately clear too.
What they’re terrible at is providing encyclopedic reference, which is what most people seem to be using them for? It’s mind-boggling.
I’m currently studying for honours, definitely not as much effort as digging through peer reviewed sources! But definitely a worse effort : results ratio because the results are fucking useless.
nerds would understand how computers work
Michael Crichton, noted leftist
Ngl he seems like a fucker but that example with Grant, ellie, the lawyer is a pretty bad example lol
Jesus Christ.
There is no question that men feel under attack, and psychologically beaten down. All sorts of horrible qualities are attributed to us: we are unemotional, we are brutal, we are violent, we are uncaring. We’re lousy lays. We don’t know how to do it. We don’t know how to find that clit. We don’t know how to satisfy our mates.
Just straight up “men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them”, but he thinks men are the ones getting a raw deal.
Really telling on himself there
I would say he’s gone mask off but genuinely some of the other quotes from him make me realise that he in no way thought women would pick up on that.
Michael Crichton was a libertarian tho
Who denies climate change too. Thinks because he writes vaguely science-related stuff he’s qualified to dispute the conclusive findings of thousands of scientists in their field and dozens of world-wide scientific bodies.
it’s funny, he apparently went to medical school, so it seems like he’s cursed with having JUUUUST enough knowledge but not enough to know he doesnt know anything.
Dunning-Kreuger hits medical doctors and engineers the hardest.
I used to work for a civil engineer who was convinced that climate change was fake. While he was having to take rising sea levels into account. While he knew firsthand that the instances of 100-year storms had increased beyond what was statistically considered normal. He was still convinced that God would not allow humanity to alter the climate.
Specialized knowledge in a narrow field, can turn people into the biggest idiot. The humility it takes to be an expert in something but still listen to others, is beyond a lot of people. This is made even worse by fields like medicine and engineering that require a massive amount of ego to begin with.
I once met an engineer who thought climate change isn’t man made because the earth just does that sometimes, like when the ice age ended.

I mean, it does, but the signal looks totally different. It’s crazy that people with a little bit of knowledge can look at something like that and think “the experts who spend their whole lives thinking about this have probably never considered this thing I just found on Google!”
Yeah, it wasn’t the fact that such a cycle exists that was ridiculous, it was that it never occurred to him that maybe all of the climate scientists know about that cycle and took it into account.
Physicists are the worst with this, in my experience–even worse than engineers. They think that because their work is “more fundamental” than that of the special sciences and their models are more wide-ranging, they’re qualified to evaluate all other scientific work. Lots of physisicsts–even very good ones–turn climate crank in their old age.
Engineer plus kkkristian is a truly cursed and also distressingly common combo
Can’t speak for medicine, but I can definitely say that engineering doesn’t require a massive ego. It can reward it but I’ve worked with some very good, humble engineers in my time. Also one of two massive dickheads of course because as I say it can reward ego at times. In reality the majority of engineers I’ve known have been perfectly decent individuals. In reality I think it’s being any kind of expert that can do this to you - Michio Kaku and Neil Degrasse Tyson famously both have engineer brain.
I had no idea. Grew up loving his books and reading that pained me. It’s like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle falling for that obvious “fairy” hoax.
The J-Park novel expresses his opinions on scientific study being conducted more and more by corporations than public institutions and universities and the consequences thereof. Ian Malcolm gets his leg chomped and spends most of the movie doped up on painkillers and ranting Michael Creighton’s thoughts. I could see thinking Jurassic Park does have a left wing message but where a guy stands on one think doesn’t necessarily reflect any greater ideology.
I was going to say. Entertaining writer, I enjoyed his work. But I don’t recall this motherfucker ever deliberately injecting a materialist perspective into his work
His writing was basically pulp Black Mirror novels. wot if monkeys were trained to fight with paddles? wot if your Dinosaur escaped? wot if your nanobots became sentient?
Still fun
I enjoyed them. Never said they weren’t entertaining.
Embryonic leftism and its a novel by a climate change denier 😭
As fun as Jurassic Park and in fact most of Crichton’s books are, it’s still basically “the manly maverick cowboy chad paleontologist owns the cringe woke soy corporate IT guys with facts and logic and a flamethrower.”
Though at least Hammond was treated with the contempt he deserved.
There is only one Hammond in Sci Fi that gets my respect. Hammond…of Texas.
The part of Stargate which requires the greatest suspension of disbelief is that they’re in the USAF.
I thought this was Bobby Briggs dad from Twin Peaks lol
Same
I’m hamming it up a bit, but there are some good things to it. Like that, and the cynicism towards corporate bullshit in general. Crichton had brainworms, but they were more that specific libertarian sort that’s distrustful towards any sort of institution or power figure including corporations and rich people.
It feels like all his books really followed that one formula of some kind of manly maverick nerd consulting on some kind of corporate/government project run by soy conformist nerds who make dumb mistakes like not counting dinosaurs good or letting the nanobots do data storage and the manly maverick nerd instantly sees through them and saves the day, though.
Reactionaries are all-or-nothing sorts. If you aren’t literally sieg heiling then you’re part of the woke DEI liberal communist conspiracy.
Unless the reactionaries like you, then you are playing 4D chess against the :LIB: checkers.
And they’re always the same smuglords who say about how dumb people can’t understand generalizations.
Please tell me if this hypothesis is real, but these types are idiot children playing dress up in the “mysterious hacker known as 4chan’s” legacy. They’re more interested in looking like cyber gangsters and aren’t actually all powerful dangerous superhumans like they carry themselves as.
KKKristian crusader pepe.
Yeah, I’m a Marxist-Lenenist-Tyrranosaurist
If I’m only a tyranosaurist what color is my political compass square?
What? Purple. What a ridiculous question.
I think it’s more of a heliotrope shade
So is Grok like ChatGPT on Twitter?
Yeah, it was most likely copy-pasted by Twitter because it’d give out the same responses. I’m assuming they’re constantly tweaking it now to make it more racist and inaccurate but I don’t use it so IDK.
@gork is this true
Lol, no they’re not!
