@cstross have you writers ever thought about suing these guys for stealing your nightmares and making them our reality?

"Over the past year, the Torment Nexus has taken the world by storm, completely changing the way that people live their day-to-day lives. However, this entire category of tool is very new, and new features and best practices are coming up all the time, sometimes invalidating the previous ones. This talk will cover the basics of the Torment Nexus: how it works, what it's composed of, what its limitations are. While this will not cover the theory and math behind True Torment™, it will include technical details behind how the Torment Nexus makes use of True Torment™ in order to help you more efficiently and effectively suffer." #TormentNexus

Okay, since I cannot possibly justify spending money on yet another domain, but someone on here could surely put it to good use:

tormentnex.ai is free.

"Our results demonstrate that self-sustaining AI-driven cyber-threats are nolonger theoretical. We must prepare for autonomous generative adversaries: malware systems that propagate without human operators and are defined not by fixed exploit code, but by the capacity to reason about targets, adapt to observations, and synthesize attack logic in real time." #ai #generative #tormentnexus .. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.03811

Is there anywhere this can be watched other than TormentTube™?

Although, I have to add, our new masters of the universe (and their political minions) seem to kinda never read their #SciFi stories to the end.

The end where the misstreated masses just had it, rise up & kill off their #Elites in the most brutal way imaginable. 🤨

Why Do Tech Bros Always Learn The Wrong Thing From Sci-Fi?

Have started a rewatch of Person of Interest. It is a cheesy show that slowly turns into something thoughtful and philosophical.

However, I don’t want it to be some sort of aspirational “let’s make an AI that can track e v e r y b o d y” tech cult wet dream. It’s not a torment nexus. Stop trying to make it one.

I was recently made aware of this thesis/argument from Cory Doctorow entitled, "The Reverse Centaur Guide to Criticizing AI (before it's too late)"..:

Many things can be and need to be said about the Reverse Centaur argument, but let me at least do the quick-and-dirty clarification that the anti-Reverse Centaur movement is not equal to the Butlerian Jihad.

How to interpret all of that is left as an exercise for you, Dear Reader.

Mere moments after discovering the thing called, "the torment nexus," I discovered that I was living within it.
