Man. That wiki states that book takes “Stockholm Syndrome” at face value, which makes me immediately suspicious. Hostages working to secure their own safety when the assigned negotiator is absolute shite isn’t a basis for actual psychological discussions.

As far as I know, yes, except Allah who came from a different pantheon and absorbed the mythos from jehovah

Explain. Everything I know of Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, Adonai is that they’re the Demiurge in their mythos, not a storm god.

I also know that Allah had a pantheon, but never heard of the same for Yahweh

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh found this about Yahweh. Suggests starting as a weather/war god before absorbing the rest of the pantheon into themselves. El was the top of that pantheon

The CGP Grey video with the conclusion of “don’t do anything, it’s impossible to solve, robots will save us”? Yeah, I wonder why no one’s done anything to understand/ change our trajectory because of this.

Also, this is you suffering from the curse of knowledge. This is common knowledge… to you. It is not common knowledge. Like, not even a little bit. The opening of Office Space has the protag languishing in traffic that he is overwhelmingly contributing to by switching lanes as soon as the one next to him starts moving, but it’s never acknowledged that that’s what he’s doing cause, again, that’s not common knowledge.

Hey, that Overton window needs to move and frankly I don’t care who moves it.

As a web developer, everything after the ? is actually parameters for the request. Anything could be in there, even important stuff (though hopefully nothing identifying, since that is extremely unsecure). You will likely break functionality if you delete everything without knowing what it is.

Yes. My graduating year had a lot of tragedy occur, so we were all really tight knit (even with standard teenage drama). It was good fun catching up.

For every weight of ball (within a certain density limit. Won’t work with a black hole, for instance) there’s some pressure and volume of water that will balance the weight and size of the ball perfectly to create a thin layer around the entire surface. Once the ball becomes too dense, there’s no volume/ pressure combo that would do the same (the weight would require too much pressure by volume of water, so it would either stop it or fly full force by while barely levitating the ball). But I don’t think whatever density that would be is found in pressures you could find on earth

Understood. I wasn’t trying to convey that, but I can definitely see it in what I said. I was trying to say “hey, this isn’t just cause Americans are sick fucks. Any group can get here with the right conditions. Know that, understand it, and work to actively avoid it”

I will one hundred percent own that bringing up China made my comment xenophobic. It honestly completely derailed what I was attempting to convey.

The question now is, how do I point out to a group of people labeling something as evil, which is distancing language, that this is something that all humans are capable of? Not because humans are inherently evil or cruel, I don’t actually believe that, but because we can make systems that are uncaring and grind both victim and perpetrators to dust beneath them. That imagery of horrors should be viewed as a cautionary tale to every person on this planet about what we’re collectively capable of and need to work to stop. Not something to point at and go “that group bad” cause that’s simultaneously unhelpful and completely misses the lesson.

Yes, there are plenty of people mature enough to separate the atrocities committed by an MC and their enjoyment of said MC

The issue is the ones who aren’t. And there are a lot of them

I’m having trouble parsing this. Looking at the paper (https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/ICWSM/article/view/42688) it looks like they’re using the LLMs to determine if a video aligns with one of the three categories they were testing this behavior against (cooking, fitness, and sports betting). They decided to go with that rather than hashtag filtering because hashtag use on the platform isn’t moderated. So, unrelated hashtags can be used on a video, some don’t have hashtags, and none of it is standardized. Categorizing things is something that LLMs are pretty damn good at, actually. Mostly because we actually understand how they do that (localization in high-dimension vector DBs)

Like, they’re not using the LLM to interpret their results, man. This is a clear centaur, not a reverse-centaur. The tool is being used by those who understand it, not being made to make decisions that it has no business making.

Bruv, misogyny is a bad look, man.

I was really uninterested in the fascist is the protag anime, but y’all enjoy.

What is there to fix? You can’t defeat these conversational exploits because this is what LLMs are. They’re statistical word predictors, they must, by their design parameters, be able to accommodate anything the user says because that’s how conversations work. Eventually, no matter the prompt fixing you do, the user will eventually be able to storytell their way into getting the bot to do what they want.

I don’t give a fuck what the Cato Institute finds. They can shut the fuck up and get back to gargling Newt Gingrich’s balls while he’s still breathing.

Yes, they wouldn’t use an incorrect word. But look at NBC coverage of the tea party pushing the GOP rightward.

Not a single use of the word insurgent, even though it also makes sense to do so here.

I was born in the 90s and I recognize this image. Though it was the lady who had the daycare doing it, but still

Parent companies shouldn’t be a thing

I think stopping there is best. We don’t need companies buying other companies, full stop.

Not really. It was brought up as a concern, number crunching occurred, and it was seen as incredibly unlikely, borderline impossible outcome. I guess talking about the possibility is interesting in-and-of itself, but there really wasn’t a concern.
