In Honor of All the People That Woke Up Banned

You have actually done well not to b banned.been here 2 months.
I was banned during the mass banning. This is a membership I started under another email address, another name.

I was expecting to be banned any minute, because I told another member the URL for this site. The membership has not been banned for that yet.
 
Exactly, weed syphilis will drive you crazy! get it?....rough crowd
 
FINALLY FOUND IT!

I noticed over the last two months at the farm there seemed to be a massive brain drain happening. Figured out why now. I was really sad when I noticed Moe and Aqua seemingly gone for no reason, then I started noticing how many more people where gone and it legit hurt.

So glad to find everyone here!
Hell yeah @CookiesLikeWhoa its great to see you over here bro.
 
So I've noticed that Moe had been gone for a while. I followed his threads pretty regularly. Saw that he wasn't a staff member any more and his usual avatar was gone. Weird but things happen, I get it.

About 2-3 weeks ago I went to go find Aqua's thread on watering coco and could not find it for the life of me. Then I noticed that he had a rat as his avatar and wasn't a staff member anymore. That was a big shock. So I started to searched for the rest of his threads with info in them and they were all locked or deleted. I also wanted to know why he had a rat for an avatar. Then I noticed Moe's was like that too, and then I noticed that there were even more with the same avatar. That's when I figured some shit was up. Gave up for a while because life got in the way.

Today I picked up the search again. During the search for Aqua's post I ran into CannaGranny's goodwill thread over there and noticed THAT WAS LOCKED. That was a big wtf moment for me. So I literally googled, "CannaGranny" and found the same post but on this forum.

That's when the light bulb clicked on.
My experience was similar. I even searched for @CannaGranny like you did. I'm no stranger to forums, and that rat avatar was the most childish thing I've ever seen, not to mention damn stupid. It was when I saw that on one of @Moe.Red's posts that I decided I had had enough. I wonder if I have a rat avatar now, too.

I'm also wondering about the explainer PM Logic sent to me. At the time, I was baffled by why he contacted me. I couldn't imagine why he cared enough to send me a PM. Did he send the same bullshit to other folks, too? (I'm thinking he probably did.)

Didn't you also get pre-approval to be on both forums and still got banned?
 
That's correct.
I just opened Opera browser to see where I stand and I have 1 forum title shows me as rat but the others don't, just the last one I guess......We need a good hacker to tweak his site a bit....sorry but I don't deserve the rat...cat maybe but.....now seeing that I need to bite back a bit....I get this way when I've been unjustly vilified. I guess I'll have to make his moderators work a bit.....

I was getting mad right up to the last sentence.
 
I also got Russet mites from a clone from the same dude at the farm (Trustfall) and posted about it. They removed my post and I made a new post saying “WTF where is my post?” and I got banned.

I had to burn two big plants that were super infected and I have been killing them on the other plants for months. I think they are finally dead but holy shiitake what a pain. Those things are hard to kill outside! I am probably done with clones from this experience!
You can get clones from a reliable pest free source and the beauty is the hunting has already been done ! You know your growin fir e
 
We must be doing something right. Did the same search and we are now higher than the farm. The Rat Pack strikes again 🐀

That’s what happens when you have a bunch of randoms posting “what’s wrong with my plant” and never returning to the site again. As well as faux bans on your most active and contributing members.

It's really boring over there now. I still have an unbanned membership over there, in case there are still people who want to come here, but if there are, it isn't obvious.

It’s funny, I joined here, and within 5 mins TSD pm’d me saying I’m gonna get banned from the farm. I didn’t.

Logic waited until I made my first post here then tried to threaten me with a ban.

He replied by calling me a sheep (emoji and all), so I called him a petulant child and logged out.

He should change his handle to illogic.

When I figured out my situation, I called it weed herpes. And I paid to get it.

Time to grow a mustache and get a merkin.

Have one of those buds first

To this day, I have no idea why I was banned. Other than having joined this forum a month or so before. Feck him, feed him fish heads.

Because he sees anyone who joins this forum to be siding with the “bad guys”. He’s trying to control peoples internet usage because his butt is hurt. One of them made a gaslighting thread about why moe and aqua were banned, then started on some joke of a thread to report any rats. Dude must drive a huge vehicle to compensate for his….diminishing website.

I think it was just anyone that joined honestly. I did make a post on here early on I think... but I didn't mention any names or anything. I didn't log into either for like a week, came back to being banned there and a shitstorm here of people being like WTF just happened. Whatever, silver linings right? This place is way better and we know people won't be thrown under the bus in the name of profit.

I loveeeeeeee bad guys! 🤣😂😅
 
before long AI will be writing the number 1 songs

Maybe, but it would likely get hit with a lawsuit since it would be 100% derivative work using copyrighted material. There’s already things like that going on in the art world.

Granted, maybe in time it’ll be used by musicians to help write these songs.

It’s unfortunate people are calling it AI - it has zero intelligence and can’t do anything on its own. It’s beyond impressive with that it does, but I feel like it has the wrong label associated with it.

I think they call it intelligence because it can "learn." The more info and shit you feed it, the better it will be at solving problems... I dunno, the thought of machine learning combined with the power of quantum computers is a bit scary to me.

I get what you’re saying, but it’s not really learning. It has no concept of any social frameworks and systems the real world has in place and uses. It can only tell you information based on what others feed into it, it can’t learn on its own. It can’t even tell you if it’s day or night without a clock because it can’t sense daylight.

To further that point, ChatGPT was shut down and updated very quickly after its launch because it was outputting racist and misogynistic things, because the a good portion of the internet sucks.

As for quantum computing, it’s still very early tech. Once it does have a real world use, security will need to move to something wildly stronger than what we have now, if not solely be biometric.

Yeah I think that might make it more scary lol. We don't know if it will surpass that though and be able to do what it wants... like once the whole of the knowledge of all of civilization is fed in? Then in 20-50 years when quantum computing is up and running smoothly, it can play out every possibility of any question in seconds... who knows what the hell it will do... especially without a conscience, morals or social norms. I dunno maybe I've watched terminator too many times. What if it's like "oh shit these flesh monsters are killing our home... they gots to go if we're gonna make it... don't want to turn out like all the other fallen civilizations in history that they so kindly taught us about....You there, F1364, fire up the plasma cannons." 🤣 Not saying this is a tomorrow problem, but neither was climate change and now look at us.

I understand that it's called learning, but I doubt it's anything like human learning. I'm seeing an increasing number of YouTube videos that I think must be narrated by an AI voice, which lacks inflection, or accurate inflection. Another thing I've noticed is that it makes mistake that a native English speaking human wouldn't make, like not realizing it used the wrong form of a word.

A totally agree. I was worried about quantum computers before AI was added to the mix. Now, I'm very worried. Just to make matters worse, our laws are made by a bunch of old farts that can't even spell AI.
 
Then there are all the devices that can be controlled by a computer. I like the idea of a self-parking car, for example, but I'm concerned about AI taking control of my car without my permission. There are so many things that are networked now and most of them could be controlled by an AI computer.

Or like... our entire everything lol... we're so vulnerable to a cyber attack on our infrastructure it's scary as hell.

AI, as we see it today, can't, and won't ever be able to do things on its own :p

The other thing that a lot of people don't consider is, even if it does become sentient enough to mimic iRobot, just unplug the stupid thing or throw a large magnet at it lol These things are comically easy to defeat :)

The biggest concern that I do agree with is the amount of information you can have it collect and have it piece together data quickly. However, it does spit out a lot of wrong information. There was an article I read a little while ago where lawyers used AI for a case, and the AI came out with a fictitious case. You'll always need human intervention to confirm and research any outcome before using it in the real world. Some things can be automated, sure, but once you get into more complex areas, it's not going to be so cut and dry.

I'd be more concerned about today's data harvesting and selling of private data across social media and real life corporations (banks, real estate, big box stores, credit card companies, Amazon, etc) than anything else. AI will just expedite some of these things, but ultimately it's fantasy for it to be a self-thinking thing. Maybe if they get further along with biological computers, that would be something to be concerned about, but not this stuff today.

The thing with quantum computers is that they likely will never reach the public market in any full capacity. They'll likely be restricted to research/educational institutions (like CalTech and MIT, not your local state or community college), military, and government facilities only. The strongest password today will get cracked in faster than a YouTube video will load.

Laws are just a suggestion for the rich, and taxation on the poor. They don't care what the laws are because they don't apply to them :p
 
Plus I think chatgpt is probably a rudimentary AI program compared to the shit the secret agencies have access to lol.

These agencies use ChatGPT and/or some other form of OpenAI. They just typically have special arrangements in place with these companies to have elevated uses and/or special access. Just like with Windows, the government can get into any Windows OS on the internet because they've made deals with Microsoft. Linux is open source, so it'd never get in there, but that's okay, 73% of the world uses Windows based OS's in their data centers, and 70% of the world uses Windows.

Anyway, now that we're talking about this stuff, I'm going to go assemble my tinfoil hat so the multidimensional beings that Grusch whistleblew about can't read my thoughts.
 
Have one of those buds first
I put 4 in the fridge, at 4:30 I had 1, my wife had 1....there's none left in the fridge now......1 led to 2 - - 3 fk I'm going to be out in a week at this rate......My son wants to make another trip and he said he'd pay the gas..lol......it took me 4 fill ups 4x $64 = way to fking much........it won't be this year unless my wife and I do an 2-3 day trip to Bangor.
 
OMG. Guess who's giving grow advice now?
 
Is it just me or does anyone else think Schwifty Grower and Trustyfall are one in the same?

If not, that dude has his head so far up Trusty's arse he be countin the corn kernels as they pass by.

I've noticed, over the years, that many growers are susceptible to becoming fanboys, and a particular breeder or clone supplier becomes and untouchable hero to them.

On the now-defunct site that Sannie's Seeds used to run, vicious flame wars would crop up if someone said a discouraging word about some of the breeders. These were opinions like, "I like the quality of the weed that comes from this strain, but the structure of the plant is terrible." The knives would come out.

So hey, maybe they are one and the same, but fanboys will be fanboys.
