Only children think that discussions are settled by “internet approval points”, and it’s a very nice demonstration of my take above, so thanks!:)

Exactly! It’s all about knowing its limitations and how to use it. If one believes AI responses over their own judgment, they lose, if one uses it to “do all the work for them”, they lose, if one uses it to steal artwork from others, well, we all lose. But it tells much more about humans than AI itself.

It’s an insight and integrity issue.

Nah. Humans are “garbo” in general.

While AI is boosting productivity and is amazing, it also appeals to our worst inner instincts of giving in to authority and outsourcing and taking credit for others’ work.

I have zero expectation that Tesla RoboTaxi will arrive this summer as promised.
RoboTaxis will also have to “navigate” the Fashla hate. Not many will be eager to risk their lives with them

Does this mean that 1 RTX4090 can do it in a week?:)
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 5 weeks ago:
I’m 100% certain that LLMs are smarter than half of Americans. What I’m not so sure about is that the people with the insight to admit being dumber than an LLM are the ones who really are.

application of ethical principles may change
Thank you.
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 1 month ago:
Guess what you’re the next iteration of? Technologies change, yet good principles don’t change with them.
Technologies and ethics continuously change and adapt to new technologies, and I’m not interested in discussing the analogies of going from codexes to printed books vs. going from printed hard copies to human-human interactions being hijacked by human-passing bots, because to me these are evidently not comparable.
No one has a monopoly on LLM, bots, or algorithms.
The fact that this discussion is taking place on Lemmy and not Xitter tells plenty about the actual complexities of this story.
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 1 month ago:
no. it’s a “don’t believe them because they are lying” thing.
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 1 month ago:
Free speech is still right: everyone should fervently defend it. Whether they’re sincere about it or not, free speech is indispensable to a liberal democracy.
If you fall into the trap of abandoning basic values from the enlightenment when they make it inconvenient, then you play into their game & help them set back society.
Look, statements like this are very easy to make but nearly impossible to implement in the era of LLM-powered bots riding the Algorithm. Unless you simply give free rein to the bots, which is often the goal and ultimately eliminates actual humans’ free speech. I don’t pretend that I have a perfect solution, but there is sufficient historical evidence to point out the threads’ original statement on absolutistic terms. For the rest, I’ve used the word “some” because not everybody has ulterior motives, but the most motivated ones in the present era tend to.

Fascism is slightly more diverse and thus adds more opportunities for apologists to relativize. Hence the specific choice.
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 1 month ago:
yeah it’s a philosophical question the answer to which changes with the times (like, does free speech/expression even mean the same thing in the 1700s as in the present era where “speech” is delivered and amplified by machines without even the necessity of direct human involvement).
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 1 month ago:
I know reading comprehension is harder when you’ve already made up your mind about what I think.:)
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 1 month ago:
I really find it statistically baffling how many times that is the first response…sophisticated sounding titles works for you until you actually have to explain things.
The point of my post is that some of the loudest proponents have ulterior motives. No more, but definitely no less. I’m not here to relitigate the limits of free speech no matter how hard you want to steer the discussion in that direction.
On the other hand, if you come to discussions with this many preconceived notions and generalizations wrapped in a metric ton of condescension, then perhaps you might be the driver of your own “statistical bafflement”.
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 1 month ago:
America has litigated this multiple times & you had strong arguments from both sides, but in the end free speech won & I believe it was the right choice. I’d suggest you actually study history & those trials a bit more.
You are assuming ignorance from others while projecting ideas from other discussions you’ve had in the past onto my original post. I purposely avoided making any statements on how to approach or resolve the tolerance paradox because it’s complicated. Nazis lying about their affinity for free speech isn’t.
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 1 month ago:
I think they only fear looking weak.
- Comment on YSK: That nazis Don't Actually Believe in Free Speech 1 month ago:
Interesting read.
They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The antisemites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.
This is what we see these days. Trump and his followers lying is normalized, i.e., they are not “obliged to use words responsibly”, whereas anybody argues against trumpists is.
They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.
This is what changed since then. They no longer fear being seen as ridiculous or stupid. They embrace it.

Ohh, Thanks I did need a dictionary for the OP, but you still left out the racist 4chan verbiage around the etymology (“CIA N*s glow in the dark”). en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/glowie#English

Seems like a very good crossover of having teenagers as a parent, senior responsibilities at work, and the realization that you ARE getting old, and you can’t even hold your liquor the way you used to drown it all out (not that you should manage your anxiety with alcohol anyway).

people can take back economic power
- Comment on Common Ground 1 month ago:
If this “let’s reach across the isle” approach was viable, the present thread would not exist. I’ll go beyond, trumpists watched Jan6 unravel like anyone else and they still voted for him in 2024. So while I’m not advocating for hatred, I would not consider any plan viable that heavily relies on trumpists changing their minds.

These people literally don’t know what mRNA is, they believe it’s the same thing as DNA because it sounds vaguely similar. It’s good to see actual experts calling him out though! We really need more of this.
People being clueless about mRNA is an abject failure of the US education system.

tech and age, need for investment.
- fediverse is complicated for scientists not doing computer sciency stuff
- senior researchers are less flexible with new tech, so similarity w twitter means they don’t have to learn a new system
- Already present audience means there’s little risk in investing time in BS.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 2 months ago:
True, and this is a very sad statistic. It would be great is we would actually work on mental health in this country.
It’s 99% the guns though. The US has shitty mental health safety net, but not worse than in Eastern Europe, the murder rates (which is driven by gun violence) are much lower there. If you exclude firearm deaths it drops to similar rates to that of Europe. I personally think that increasing fines and punishment for bad gun ownership is the way to go.
They lay the blame, and lay the groundwork, to wreck shit next time while shifting blame from themselves.
Yup. The funniest thing is how important the national debt becomes with a democrat at the helm, but how irrelevant it is with a republican presidency.
All of that, combined with the “perfect” storm of tRUmp, really sped it up.
Agree, trump is a symptom not necessarily the direct cause.these all happened because of citizens united and the influx of infinite money into politics that was bound to tip the balance away from actual citizens towards corporations.
