25. This is so lame

I was trying so damn hard to not be in another one of those lame cliches which leaks on the net..
And I won’t be…I protest it! It is a modern chestnut..

And at least it isn’t too lurid or melodramatic -a few mild to moderately creepy men aside…

I insist that if one is in a story it must be absurdist not serious! For real..this was Idiocracy on steroids, but heart warmingly free (the two or so creeps aside…) of conflicts that are not very much of the corporate parasitism, greed and opportunism ilk.
And well..that is less depressing than these group wars. Those are depressing..

Well I have to go offline to work and hopefully finish the other part of complaint filing offline over time.

Thing is…you end up sounding crazy when you are bottling something up, which in this case is that Stanford is stupid and sleazy and recruits random females into their moronic 100 years of AI (presumably among other things…that place is a madhouse of everything but the kitchen sink…which would be less objectionable if so much wasn’t this stupid CS shit).

I have my own work and life. I have only a very small amount of interest in ai

My guess is that the constant demonization of publicly funded scientists by RetractionWatch, random disgruntled internet sleuths and Ioannidis made it easy for Google to disingenuously shill a draconian and snoopy ai agent and cryptopraphy fueled jokey surveillance thing as about “open science” and “democratizing science and remove biases” but is basically just a way for big tech to tighten it’s undemocratic tentacles (which are very much no star whale) on state funded science.
That is why Stanford will face malpractice and misconduct allegations along with the local shit that invaded my house. I don’t need or want this.

I don’t really like doing things in this spectacular way. That is playing up to this rot. But no one seems to be doing anything that isn’t basically adding to the problem and I am sick of being shafted. It is also this confusing thing where indirect forces affect me and my actions are indirect, which I suppose is more realistic wrt the plight of the average white collar grunt.

But that is so generic…I am a crank and a neurotic as well! Not really, but this is the Idiocracy and has been so for as long as I remember ;-/.

Man I hope I can stay anonymous or an angry mob of CS creeps will attack.
