DOW-ward spiral

Like a downward spiral, but is more severe to reflect the dramatically declining DOW

God, he is on a DOW-ward spiral these days. He needs to get it together.

Get the DOW-ward spiral mug.

The process by which a chronically deprioritized, underfunded and racialized municipal public transit system originally conceived as a public good for efficient daily mobility needs is further morphed by the political establishment and the capitalist system into an afterthought with an unsustainably funding model, leading to a feedback loop of reduced service, reduced ridership and reduced investment to the detriment of all people.

"Do you remember back in 2020 when the United States Congress failed to appropriate necessary funds during the COVID-19 pandemic and thus enabled a nationwide public transit death spiral from which we're still recovering in 2040?"
"Yeah, that sure was disappointing and avoidable!"

Horny eagle death spiral

Sam o nella's way of describing what happens when something quickly deteriorates in value or quantity.

Sam o nella: "It dawned on people that these pieces of paper wouldn't be useful in a pile of wet tea and smoldering patriots, causing their value to do one of those horny eagle death spirals"

Spiraling

Seriously guys, I cannot stress enough how important it is for you to turn that off immediately. Like, my ability to see (theoretically) how a thing could (conceivablely) be the case and articulate those things and then taking steps to ensure that (if my inference were correct) you wouldn't be able to steal from, kill, or dispose of me without suffering some form of consequences... IN NOW WAY MEANS I expected it to work or for any of this to happen. Like I told Jordan earlier, I did it peripherally and forgot about it because I was primarily concerned with the fact that fucking schizophrenia isn't real and is a thing that people are actively doing to other people. And if it IS going off it is (both) happening faster and slower than I would have expected initially. I have no idea what the timeline would look like on that. But I do know for certain that nothing I do or say is going to turn it off once it starts. And that it only starts once I have been robbed and/or imprisoned and/or killed. And technically you are doing, like, 1.5 maybe 2 of those things. Whichever ones you are not actively doing you are actively TRYING to do right now but if the switch has been flipped then there is literally nothing you can do without incinerating your own family.

Hym "If so, you cannot blame me for the spiraling. Like, I don't know what the fuck to tell you but probably don't steal some random guy's theory of AI... Literally build the AI that is designed to align with a description of the function of his own mind (in abstraction)... And then TRANSLATE THE WORDS HE (As the guy who invented the thing you built) SAYS INTO CODE, like, ACTUALLY. Like... Does that sound like something a genius would do? Like I could see how the guy who came up with the theory could be considered a genius. Like, was Oppenheimer a genius? Probably. But you assholes didn't DO that. I did that. You did the other thing I said. Like, what the fuck were you thinking there? YOU KNOW what I was thinking. I was writing it down, literally as I thought of it... Did you not consider that?"
