“It’s so unfair!” … as if the identical thing is not being done to literally everyone else all the time. Toddler logic.

A nuance that people often miss about lemmy.ml’s authoritarian policies - whereby they ban people from communities they’ve never even seen before - is not that it is done, but that when it is it cites a hidden set of rules that are nowhere ever written down. Little kid logic, where the rules mean whatever they feel like in that moment, and if you don’t like it then feel free to try to stop them.

Some people here are pushing for fascist Reddit 2.0, others for free-speech Voat, but most of us just want to get along somewhere in the middle without too much bother:-P.

Stop buying (checks notes) food!! 🥑😤

I wondered if what I said would come across as criticism - even though I took care to avoid alluding to your comment NOT being statistically bland (which ironically, due to your third point, would have begun to imply that it WAS, despite my saying explicitly the opposite).

So we are proving real-time why LLMs go to such lengths to be bland - their goal of not offending anyone making their shareholders more money does not allow them to take those kinds of risks, as I just did above.

All the more so with their child-like yet incurious audience noping out at the first hint of difficulty understanding producing dopamine upon reading anything at all - not attempting clarification or expounding additional details as just you did.

So kudos I suppose we just proved our humanity? Now to do that 10k times a day for the rest of our natural lives…

A stack of single-sentence paragraphs, you say?

With a perfect conclusion written at the end you say?

Methinks I’ve seen this before somewhere, I say.

Dare to be different, I say.

https://youtu.be/5Peima-Uw7w does a fascinating - and extremely excellent imho - job of explaining this further. “Intelligence” is domain-specific, and does not translate to what we might rather call by a different term (wisdom?). It also dips into Emotional Agility as a source of why smart people will do these incredibly dumb things. Regardless of what others say, as in however they misuse certain terms, this video tries to convey that biases exist as traps to fall into along the way - which at its core is undeniably true on its face - and reminds us that we ignore such at our own peril.

Edit: its TLDR is: always stay curious folks! There is no better bulkwark against biases, while in contrast those who stick their head into the sand will never ever find the truth even if it walks up and introduces itself to them (which ironically, it very often does? yet misinformation is often an excellent “cure” against finding the truth of things).

Pam Bondi became AG citing how she was going to bring pedophiles to justice. Donald Trump himself said he was going to drain the swamp of Washingtonian corruption. People say a lot of things, especially in order to get elected.

Be thou not afraid.

Reminds me of Lemmy.ml. No critiques allowed: you will think and discuss as we tell you, and like it!

Tbf it can sometimes be difficult to understand him

If you click into your Settings menu you should see an option to adjust it further.

Ymmv tho and you might need to dip into editing the config file manually.

Be warned, you can go very much too far on this. If your cat speaks to you an an Eldritch tongue, get out of there immediately!

You dare speak of the degeneracy!? 🤪

It was always intended to work this way.

I mean… not 100%, though not 0% either. Things were different a few decades ago.

The system cannot be used to abolish the system.

True dat. But also, read Animal Farm. The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend. Russia for instance overthrew their oligarchs, and now they are living happily ever after…

The rest

They have e.g. nukes and know how to farm and live off the land. City people know which TV shows and Tiktok channels they enjoy the most. If it turns violent, there is zero chance of liberals coming out on top.

I am not saying to not get serious. In fact, I’m saying the opposite.

Kevin!!

Help me Obi-Wan, you are my only hope!

Not when I’m done with her she ain’t!
