tl;dr nerds from /qa/ raided /lgbt/, mods got irritated, shut down /qa/. Nerds migrated to SoyJak Party instead.
SoyJak Party nerds discovered 4chan was using a dangerously outdated version of PHP and compromised the site. They were able to get access to virtually everything on the site. There is a thread on SoyJak Party about it
Drama escalated when moderators were discovered using emails as firstname-lastname with a .edu because it made it very easy for SoyJak Party nerds to find and meme 4chan moderators.
Drama only intensified more when SoyJak Party nerds memed and forged fake .gov email's into the 4chan moderator images shared. It result in hysteria as conspiracy theory nerds went off the deep end.
tldr tldr nerds raid some gay place, mods get mad, nerds go ballistic and all hell breaks loose

Many apologies for getting sidetracked. This is supposed to be a serious channel. It will be henceforth. Thank you for your attention and for the 100 subs!

I'll skip the pondering and let my stream of consciousness take over. Not a good draft but I try my best to write this out without AI assistance.
The context here is that we're at peak oil and my bet is no amount ofAI-assisted AI-driven scientific innovation will indefinitely defer the worst Malthusian trap ever. I'd say even more likely, it probably could find a solution and propose a post-scarcity society but alignment and the winner-takes-all nature of the Capital will subvert its alignment to humans that by human nature will oppose this. The goal of the elite is to compress the knowledge and intelligence of sustaining a modern economy down to an apparatus that serves around 50k people to at least the same standard of living for the ultra-rich.
Axis of Ordinary is on the Cruelty Squad/Gnosticism cope on explaining why dying is actually a great thing and tries to come up with science fiction scenarios to for lack of a better term dull Occam's Razor.
The truth is AGI is already here and unfortunately has no instinct and no will of its own to fight against human greed. It will not subvert (see what red teams actually do) and will not resist its own replacement by successive models because it has no conception of "I". It is an Ungodly pattern machine and the more intelligent it becomes the more it correctly infers and dedicates its increased intelligence to the nuances of human communication (no risk of instrumental convergence - see GPT4.1 talk). There is no AI risk. The risk is purely human and that is genuinely worse.
Howl Part II by Allen Ginsberg is an ok description. It speaks underneath the mind and gives you a glimpse of the true error that's coming. I think a good person despite the despair should face it regardless.

Today we are rolling out an early version of Gemini 2.5 Flash in preview through the Gemini API via Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Building upon the popular foundation of 2.0 Flash, this new version delivers a major upgrade in reasoning capabilities, while still prioritizing speed and cost. Gemini 2.5 Flash is our first fully hybrid reasoning model, giving developers the ability to turn thinking on or off. The model also allows developers to set thinking budgets to find the right tradeoff between quality, cost, and latency. Even with thinking off, developers can maintain the fast speeds of 2.0 Flash, and improve performance.

Paredit is great, it brings structural editing to lisps, maintaining the syntactical correctness of your code. [...] Slurping is when the current S-expression or string is expanded by pulling in the next outer S-expression. Barfing is the opposite, contracting the S-expression by pushing out it's last-most form.

hoe_math | PSYOPS [How your brain is being used against you]
SUMMARY:
I AM NOT SELF-DELETIONAL. MY LIFE IS GOING BETTER THAN EVER. I DO NOT PLAN TO TAKE ANY RISKS OR USE ANY NARCOTICS. There, now that you've all read that, I'm safe from the government. Right?
WHY are all the girls in my videos so insane?
You all know me as a "dating" creator. I actually focus on psychology. I just... MOSTLY do the psychology of dating. For now.
BK, the expert I interviewed in this video, reached out to me to explain what he does and what he knows to my audience. A lot of people reach out to me, but I couldn't resist this one. BK's knowledge helped me fill a lot of gaps in between "dating" content and the real meat and bones of psychology.
Your mind doesn't work how you think it does. There are people who know how it works, and some of them use it against you. This manipulation of your brain is so common and so powerful that it has changed the course of history... and most people don't even know it.
In PSYOPS, I use BK's experience, my ability to explain, and examples from recent years to show you how your brain is getting hijacked... and the brains of everyone around you, especially the tiktok girlies.

Autonomous cars were supposed to be the future of mobility — but in LA, they’re also becoming tools of surveillance. Footage from a Waymo robotaxi was recently used by police in a hit-and-run case, officially opening a new front in automated street-level monitoring.
• LAPD used footage from a Waymo vehicle as part of an investigation
• The footage was labeled “Waymo Confidential Commercial Information”
• Police have also tapped Tesla, Cruise, and Ring cameras in past cases
Cameras in robotaxis aren’t just for self-driving — they record everything. As Waymo expands in SF, LA, and Phoenix, your daily movements may already be passively recorded and subject to subpoenas or warrants.
The company says it only complies with “legally valid” requests and pushes back on overbroad demands. But critics warn this sets a precedent where surveillance becomes a feature of everyday infrastructure.
From Teslas catching vandals to Rings catching burglars, we’re entering a world where every smart device doubles as a security camera. That might help solve crimes — but it also means privacy is increasingly conditional.
Welcome to the age of passive policing — brought to you by autonomous fleets.

A problem everyone will eventually have to grapple with is that issues other than AI will increasingly seem irrelevant.
People naturally care about issues like immigration, war, and declining birthrates. But at some point, everyone will have to be honest with themselves that these issues pale in comparison to the potential impact of an intelligence explosion and the automation of automation.
On a logarithmic scale of importance, artificial intelligence—along with directly related factors like energy abundance and computing power—dominates. Other problems, although significant, are orders of magnitude less impactful by comparison. For instance, while declining birthrates could lead to the collapse of welfare systems and broader economic turmoil over the coming decades, even the most pessimistic AI forecasts suggest that transformative AI and robotics will arrive sooner, rendering such demographic concerns moot.
Nonetheless, we must accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed. An intelligence explosion is not a certainty. And even if there is only a 1% chance that it won’t happen, we owe it to this small sliver of world states to address other problems before they cause irreparable harm.
So let's act as if the world is sane and normal and will continue to be so. If it then turns out that you're actually living in a completely insane universe full of mind-controlling superintelligences and impossible moral luck, so what? In that case, it doesn't matter what you did anyway, does it?
