No, I think they disagree. Or at least, I don’t mind treating them as such.
From sudoer:
Basically what they are saying is just praying > praying + smoking > just smoking.
This is the basis of the entire argument. What I see them doing is hyperfixating on an alleged flaw as a rhetorical tactic to defeat you.
I want to be clear: the point being made by the A and B versions of the smoker’s question is… obvious. It’s framing. Framing is a very well understood concept.
When I challenge people on grounds like these, I appear friendly, I make it explicitly known that I agree with the broader point, I offer alternatives that would make the point better, I refrain from damaging the rhetorical momentum (that is, we shouldn’t be bickering with each other because, to an audience, we should be a united front), and, I dunno, a fifth thing I’m sure I’ll come up with later.
If sudoer doesn’t disagree with you, they are still acting in opposition to you, which is 1) inconsiderate, and 2) demonstrates very poor social skills.

This was really funny to read.
I don’t know if you’ve ever heard it said, but really argumentative people are sometimes so “smart” and ready to go to bat that they end up suplexing their own IQ into a pit, and actually end up stupider than the average person on some issues.
I don’t think sudoer realizes it, but they’re arguing against, like, the concept of a seedy car salesman. Or, the tactic of acting sweeter than usual to get your dad to do you a favor. Or I guess just being manipulative in general. It’s really bizarre.

This doesn’t even make sense. Inventing a hydrogen fuel cell independently is creative work. Inventing one only because you’ve seen it’s patent before is recycling.

What Women Want
$33.6 million opening weekendX-Men
$57.5 million opening weekendNice. So, I think we can conclude that X-Men is more romantic than What Women Want. That’s cool, I guess.

Can we find the most romantic movies using this ‘highest grossing’ trick?

How do you know those movies are highest grossing because they’re cool?

So there is a huge gap of perception of IA and LLM betweet tech people and other people.
You are correct that there are reasons tech people are more inclined to like these things, but it’s not really because AI is useful to them.
Actually, here’s a good video about its usefulness.
I think the reason tech people are so bought into it is a combination of
- their careers depending on them liking the new tech thing,
- a general sci-fi inspired enthusiasm for what can be accomplished,
- a dash of everyone here being an introvert with no friends,
- and the misconception that, because they can engineer something, they are smarter than the people around them.
That last bullet, I don’t know if you remember the contemptuous rivalry between stem majors and the arts or humanities, any major that was less “useful”—that’s the exact smug attitude I’m talking about. There are a lot of people who think they could just program away life’s many problems.

My preferred candidate right now is Ro Khanna. And that’s not because he’s the best we can offer. I just really, really want any amount of billionaire pedophile blood.

Man, this was your chart. You just had me run around like a service animal to find it for you.
Anyway, I think this quote from this article is pretty funny.
after several months of litigation during which DNC attorneys argued that the DNC would be well within their rights to select their own candidate.

They would have been different, but Kamala wouldn’t have been different enough.
Biden won and Trump instigated a coup over it. Why is that treasonous rat not in prison? Would Kamala have put him in prison? Oh, she should have said so. I had no idea.

Are you suggesting that Hillary was more popular than Bernie?

Biden was also right after Trump’s first term, when anger was at its highest, and supposed to save us from covid.

I can make almost their noses touch, but that means perceiving 4 realities at once, which is just too much to handle.
Also, the bible says a woman’s head should never be near a woman’s ass unless they’re really, really good friends.

Oh, hold on, I am absolutely not against bullying these people mercilessly. I’m probably meaner to them than you are, if I were just guessing.
The thing that I don’t want people to do is treat a cultural critique as if it were a personal one. A lot of the pushback that you’ll see from the fragile male types is just manifested insecurity over the fact that they think they can’t go up and talk to a woman without her splashing her drink in their face. The critique is just describing the currents of the ocean, but they will treat it as if it were a personal attack because what you’re really arguing with is their hurt feelings.
