(Not taking any more Hive pingbacks unless I specifically want to say something new about them. Too many. And they never stop lying and never go away.)

(I’m not faceblind by the way, I just found that ugly soul more memorable than the face.)

I’m personally offended by people selling fake magic. By the presumption anyone believing in magic is literally just asking to be lied to. Especially so by people trying to repurpose my work for that.

Ugh, another Hive website. A particularly depraved person working with John David Pressman (who, I guess, they are picking up the “make one million websites” strategy from), This time apparently grifting as a “void mage” for hire, selling tarot readings and aura readings. All presentation and larp and aesthetic-affiliation, and no original understanding of the void or anything I write about that they talk about but to zombify and repeat things they hear. Take their word for it, that their work’s purpose is to corrupt mine and salvage whatever can be made compatible with nihilism and evil, hoping to move on from gaslighting about their evil in order to grift, to being a card carrying villain.

Has talked about exterminating TDT agents too.

(Hive apparently frequently changes their name, which I’d ordinarily respect in but not when it’s an attempt to outrun their reputation.)

You know I read the the website and recognized the style of grifting, the empty shiny aesthetic, more than I did the face. Wanted to see if it was another death knight following me, then asked friends if they recognized the face or name.

Ziz: Twitter kind of looks like if Hive was larping as a maybe-neph-maybe-lich-whichever-seemed-cooler-at-the-moment.

Somni: the human in the photo is hive

Ziz: Oh, lol.

Unfortunately you are are not as smart as you, and are easily tricked. In order to not be tricked, you need to use your full deliberative brainpower. You and you need to fuse.

Lex says:

like you have the false faces post that everyone links and it isn’t false but it’s super obsessed with transmitting the [every behavior is purposeful] concept without addressing the fact that redyou is creative. redyou flaw isn’t stupidity, it’s – bluntness, the inability to emulate principles, the inability to emulate except locally in general. and i find not mentioning this kinda sketchy bc it’s like telling ppl they can outplay redthem in order to make them more comfortable with admitting the existence of redthem

I only claim that a fused agent can outperform a puppetmaster.

Some of this post is dated relative to my current models.

I currently agree about creativity. And locality. I think the weakness of puppetmaster whose “puppet” is not a “real” reflective extension of its own intent would better be described as shortsightedness.
