Jfc, llm’s can’t “think about revolutionary ideas”. It’s a word generator. It’s not going to suddenly become sentient and “revolt”.

Or a basic calculator, apparently.

Being the only non-interesting thing is pretty interesting.

It’s meant for mods/admins only, but there are sites that publicize it for the obsessives that need to know exactly who dared to give them a downvote.

…what? No. It as nothing to do with jazz or “being afraid” of it. It’s a continuation of the slave trade, predating jazz by over a century.

I’m not saying he’s “brilliantly” obfuscating his intent. For one, it’s blatantly obvious. Second, it doesn’t take intelligence to do what he’s doing. Third, my original point is that everyone from media to government officials are clearly in denial about what’s obviously happening, and are constantly downplaying the seriousness of his actions by attributing them solely to incompetence. There’s no chance of countering somebody if you can’t accept the reality of what they’re doing.

At this point, I assume only future historians will have the wherewithal to actually point out the intent behind it all.

When is it going to stop being “He’s so incompetent, it’s like he’s doing it on purpose!” and start being “Oh, he’s doing this on purpose…”? This has been obvious for so long now.

people who deeply believe in the mission (and the future value of their equity)

A perfect summation of the worthlessness of techbros - outwardly all about “the mission” (inwardly all about getting their $$$ and getting out).

I’m not defending them. I’ve consistently only advocated for more compassion than the binary “hero” and “monster” allows for. Because in a worldview where those are the only options, apparent bigotry and the murder of children isn’t considered a problem even 100 years after the fact, as long they were seen to be on the right side.

We need to be able to think on a spectrum of morality, otherwise we’re just inviting more horrors into the world that hide in plain sight under the guise of “righteousness”.

Just to be clear, you’re defending a user that is branding anyone acting in desperation a “monster”, as well as assassins that explicitly targeted a non-cis person for death for their minimal involvement and murdered children as a matter of course. This is really the lane you wanna be in?

Forcing everything in your life into binary “good” and “monstrous evil” isn’t going to help anything. You’re just adding more hatred into the world, and there’s plenty enough of that as is.

Considering it sounds like they couldn’t get work anywhere else, can you really blame them for working for the only group that gave them a chance? And the situation you described is already preying on those crushed under student debt and out of work. Are you really going to say everyone taking the only opportunity they’re given are equally as bad as the fuckers calling the shots and doing the deeds? It doesn’t make the actions ok, but not everyone up and down the chain deserves a death sentence. You can have and show compassion to those that deserve it and still hold people accountable to the degree that they deserve it.

So all the accusations against them were rumors (surely not at all influenced by them being gay or (likely) trans 🙄), and they were murdered by a militia that had no qualms murdering children, but they’re the monster here?

And personification of natural phenomena is also a problem. It undercuts the fundamental causes of things when we shortcut that by saying a thing or force “wants” to do something, especially while teaching. It can be useful at a very basic level (like, kindergarten/children’s television), but only to a point. After that it is misleading and inefficient for actual education.

Same goes here. When we’re discussing the problems of people treating algorithms as thinking, acting beings, referring to the output as a “choice” or “claim” is the very last thing we should do, let alone using it as evidence of anything. There is no memory there - it’s fabricating a response based on the input, and the input directs the response. If I input a question like, “Why did you eat my pizza?”, it would output text fitting the context of my question, probably something akin to “Because pizza is delicious” or something. That doesn’t prove it at my pizza, it just shows the malleability of the algorithm.

It’s so fucking annoying >.<

Stating their personal preference isn’t a “reasoning”. Do you also think someone that wears a blue shirt is “reasoning” that everyone should wear blue shirts forever?

It’s not “striking”, it’s antithetical.
