you got banned before I got to you, but holy fuck are you intolerable

We should be people of science, not reactionaries.

which we should do by parroting press releases and cherry picking which papers count as science, of course

but heaven forbid anyone is rude when they rightly tell you to go fuck yourself

type the words “transhumanism eugenics” into ddg and see what comes up. but mostly just fuck off tbh

it was previously quite easy, but it seems to be getting much harder as Google locks the ecosystem down alongside their push towards manifest v3 (cause nobody can have nice things) and potentially moving their Chromebooks to Android

a used Chromebook might still be a good option for a cheap linux laptop though — your mileage may vary. if you go that route, look for one that lets you replace its bootloader. the Google one is extremely annoying if you’re running a third-party OS, because it’ll wipe your SSD and reinstall ChromeOS if you hit spacebar during boot (probably Google’s way to punish the user for straying too far from the ecosystem)

all of the subculture YouTubers I watch are colliding with the weirdo cult I know way too much about and I hate it

I bet it generates stochastic nonsense you’ll read like tea leaves

hahaha yeah nah this ain’t it

but while you’re briefly still here, you know what really helped me when I was 13 and still an absolute shithead about what I was led to believe was the one true proper english, to the detriment of my ability to write with tone and feeling?

I read achewood and I finally understood how to write with texture

anyway you won’t take this advice because you’re the type who gets off on incorrecting someone else’s writing, but for a better audience than you: read achewood and finally understand

or alternatively, and hear me out here

lecture me on fucking grammar again like a mediocre grade school teacher and get banned

wow! imagine if this post was funny, informative, or even fucking correct at all

I notice you didn’t give an example of the title with appositive commas though. maybe because it flows like shit?

,ahahaha, what,

oh do fuck off

you should’ve stayed in the other thread

once upon a time a guy named paully sucked at lisp, but most people couldn’t tell so they figured he must be good at it

then he made a website that was an ugly orange color, and everyone assumed it was ugly on purpose even though every web site paully makes is ugly and barely functions under load

then paully implemented moderation structures on the orange site that both cloak and enable discrimination and bullying, and everyone figured that couldn’t be correct because the orange site said it had good moderation

and now paully’s godawful startup accelerator is run by openly fascist little freaks and all it does anymore is AI, but the orange site says it’s prestigious and not at all a multi-layered affinity grift

the moral of the story is fuck paul graham

yeah, apparently you’re missing all of the comments

The phoronix screenshot is the only one that contains open trans hate, though

Pretty much proves that it is the „anime alter ego” of the guy. My god, the times we live in.

and if you think the orange site is at all safe for trans people, that tells me everything I need to know

Yeah classic attention seeking behaviour. Just say you’re stopping work on it for personal reasons, or give details. The only reason to tease gossip like this is because you like the drama.

hey fucker I found one of those toxic posts you don’t seem to be able to see

jesus fuck

it’s not particularly gonna help or even make me feel better, but I’m probably gonna reopen that first Lemmy thread a little later and just start banning these awful fuckers from our instance. nobody attacking Asahi has a god damn thing to say to any member of our community.

yep, your second attempt’s still a fashy dad quip about art and it’s still as funny as the grave. you haven’t produced anything with the subjective value of even terrible art, and I think it’s about time you stop trying

You: literally splatters shitty posts into a thread

”Why am I being downvoted”

I vaguely remember that one of the articles talking about the physics forum mentioned it happening elsewhere, but I haven’t dug into it myself. it might just be one or two shitty admins doing this, but I suspect (without evidence, I just can’t think of another reason to do it) there’s some party offering a financial incentive for them to go back and fuck up their old forums

I think you’re absolutely correct, and this feels to me like the only reason why we’re seeing some of the bizarre shit we’ve been keeping an eye on:

• several old forums, all of which are unique high-quality data sources, are being polluted by their own admins with backdated LLM-generated answers. this destroys that forum as a trustworthy data source and removes it as competition for the LLM that already scraped the forum — and, as a bonus, it also makes training a future LLM on that data source utterly impractical without risking model collapse.
• Wikipedia refuses to compromise on quality in general, so it’s under increasing political pressure to change. the game here is to shut down or pollute the original data source by any means necessary, so that the only way to access that data becomes an LLM. the people behind the AI startups are experts at creating monopolies, and shutting down a world-class data source like Wikipedia or making it otherwise unusable would guarantee a monopoly position for them.
