Ow god, the bots pretended to be stuff like SA survivors and the like. Also the whole research is invalid just because they cannot tell that the reactions they will get are not also bot generated. What is wrong with these people.
'a bad person writes a callout post ...'
Ow no, they are going after tracingwoodgrains. ;) (E: ok, I this joke lands differently after reading this: "Crémieux seemed to understand this [this behavior is plagiarism] when former Harvard president Claudine Gay was accused of plagiarism.").
'Here is a ChatGPT legal analysis on ...'
Ow god all sides suck. (Also blog length tweets were a mistake, im not reading all that).
E: read part of the initial complaint
Beefing is a funny thing. Before we invented police and laws as courts, gossip was the only method human beings had to enforce the social compact.
What...
E2: Yes, if you steelman the above statement it makes sense, but that is stilly, you can make almost anything make sense if you steelman it long enough, pigs fly if you count falling as flying, liking romance novels is now a hardcore porn addiction (wonder why he picked her to go after), ignore peer review and blogging can be on the same level as academia. (Wait, I gotta think a bit more about that last one).
Of course there is going to be an ai for every word. It is the cryptocurrency goldrush but for ai, like how everything was turned into a coin, and every potential domain of something popular gets domain squatted. Tech has empowered parasite behaviour.
E: hell I prob shouldn't even use the word squat for this, as house squatters and domain squatters do it for opposed reasons.
Just whole movie praising Peter Weyland and his legacy.
Damn, had missed somebody did an effort post series on all these problems. What I have read so far is pretty good.
Imagine the horrible product they would have created if they had actually followed up on the oppenheimer thing. A soulless vaguely wrong feeling pro technology movie created by altman and musk. The amount of people it would have driven away would have been big.
You, a human can respond like that, a llm, esp a search one with the implied authority it has should admit it doesnt know things. It shouldn't make up things, or use sensational clickbait headlines to make up a story.
I'm glad that messing it up is at least common.
Search engines also must wonder why I'm so interested in couches and coaches because I know which word I mean, I don't always know how it is spelled. There prob is a nice mnemonic involving Vance and Waltz I could think off that would help me with that problem however.
Otoh, this does open up the potential for a headline like 'Chatgpt sanctioned for using stolen cryptocurrency assets.'
I thought of the old sneerclub/ssc poster (def not a regular on the former, while a former regular on the latter) yodatsracist
Allright, let me put my 'warnings for young demonologists' guidebook to the side. ;).
Personally id not use disinformation as a tool. It is what got us into this mess, and you are also helping the actual goal of the flooding the zone with misinformation tactic. People stop believing in things.
Ah my bad, i always mess the spelling of gray/grey up.
If Penrose followed his trajectory from 30 years ago, he is now a radical anti AGI person but because he thinks human minds work on quantum effects.
'nightmare blunt roration' as people say. See the greyzone is also present.
I thought in modern US phrenology East Asians were smart?
Ow boy, yeah, the scientific racists usually admit the asian people are smart (or do better than the west on IQ tests) but that is usually followed up with some asspull on how white people still are better. Stuff like they are genetically inherently collectivist, lack creativity, etc etc. It is always funny to see IQ-anon people go 'well western white still best' while being really into race an IQ. (oddly rarely do they seem to mention that 'it could just be that because higher IQ is seen as a source of pride in the west, Asian countries/China simply lie about the IQ scores', as that would introduce a heretical thought about the sanctity of IQ testing). But yes, this is a very common pattern to see them go 'acthually Asians still bad'.
No idea on the rest. Sorry I don't speak their languages, so can't really tell.
Yeah, that was quite a good post btw. I snicked again at the 'new sources of porn' and 'James Somerton plagiarized.' bits after seeing your link.
I had no idea thanks!
There is more than just the war came to them. The Ents are wrong in their 'nobody is there for us' assessment. (like the modern day 'Entlike' people), the Wizards were in fact there for them, that is why the betrayal of Saruman hits so hard. A wizard should know better, aka a wizard should be there for them to protect their neutrality, aka the wizards respected their desires to be left alone. I assume Gandalf, Radagast, and the blue man group didn't try to recruit them on purpose. Also the Elves gave them the gift of speech 'the cure to dumbness', in fact in the previous war the area the Entwives lived was razed by Sauron. One of the powers of lord of the rings is that not all people speak with wisdom, but they always speak their truth. Treebeard spoke the truth the Ents believed, but they were not wise (a pattern often repeated in things various people say, as Bret Devereaux mentions here). (They could be read as the Dutch/Belgians in a lot of ways, even if they according to Tolkien were a Macbeth reference). Which all fits back into Lazerpig, yes you are an Ent, but it isn't a positive thing, and the lack of selfawareness of what this Entness means is why your vid is so rough.
Being an Ent is like being like a Libertarian, deadly afraid of bears, "like house cats, they’re convinced of their fierce independence while dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand."(E: hahah) But think his heart is in the right place, he clearly has done more for Ukraine than any of us here I assume, just that the anti-antifa part of the video shows a lot of repeating rightwing sources uncritically (like the BLM in 2020 vs the statues shit in 2017 fuckup, time goes the other way dude, and there wasn't a unite the left rally). And the weird US style confusing the democrats/the left/antifa as one big block. Etc
And yes, longer videos are fine, I use them a lot when im doing repetitive tasks which do not require my full cognitive load. Does mean you sometimes miss things, but that happens. It is entertainment anyway. And hey he is right on the Ent part in an other way, over 2 hours, with another hour on the cutting room floor, all to conclude that hobbits are not orcs.
