Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure
PhoenixAlpha@lemmy.ca 1 day agoYou forgot one more tell that this post is riddled with - “not x, but y”. The rule of 3 is also seen in general sentence structure as well as bullet points. Example:
A woman was reduced to a data point in a database - threat assessment score, deportation priority level, case number - and then she was killed. Not by some rogue actor, but by a system functioning exactly as designed.
Em-dash (probably), into rule of 3, into em-dash, into not x but y. That sentence is what made me suspicious but there are plenty of other examples.
Well, that and…this killing had nothing to do with any of those points. The sentence sounds flashy but is completely wrong on closer examination. Almost like a…hallucination…ahem.
On another read, I would bet that this paragraph was originally bullet points.

@PhoenixAlpha I’ll be sure to tell my 10th-grade English teacher that her lessons on rhetorical devices are now considered hallucinations. If “not X, but Y” makes me a bot, then half the op-ed columnists in history are running on silicon.
As for the Renee Good shooting, if you think the infrastructure of surveillance, license plate readers, and cross-referenced databases “had nothing to do” with how ICE operates in a city like Minneapolis, then you’re missing the forest for the trees. I’m not here to win a Turing test; I’m here because I’m tired of seeing tech used as a weapon, you know?

I am genuinely new to this platform and form of social media. Am trying my best to keep this to the conversation.

It’s something someone could have generated on their own, but the diction and linguistic style is similar to AI.
“Before you roll your eyes about this getting political - stay with me, because” - linguistic style of AI
“Not by some rogue actor, but by a system functioning exactly as designed.” -linguistic style of AI
“This isn’t about being a prepper or going off-grid. This is about building infrastructure that operates on fundamentally different principles:” -linguistic style of AI
Your responses to people accusing you of being AI seem human. So who are you? What are you? Are you a government agent trying to do data collection on people? Why write the post with AI, basically trying to collect data on users here or get data about users, and then deny it’s AI when it clearly is?
Yes, people are being influenced by AI writing styles but NO ONE IS THIS INFLUENCED. You’re fucking lying. FUCK YOU.

The original hallucination:
The new hallucination (also rule of 3):
“Surveillance” and “databases” (what does cross-referenced even mean or add? LLMs like to output word salad) could be applicable, but only because they’re so damn vague. Yes, of course the government uses SQL.
License plate readers, sure they were involved…except that wasn’t even one of the original points. Find a model with better context length…lol. They also have nothing to do with self-hosting. What are you gonna do, run your own license plate issuing server?
Please, you can just say you used an LLM because English isn’t your first language or something. I’m literally giving you an out. It would be way less embarrassing than whatever you’re trying to accomplish.
