On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.

“Under Commusim everyone would just be a drone with no individuality”

A rebuttal:

Biologically female

That’s just redundant. “female” generally already refers to biology. Only silly people use “female” to refer to gender identity.

if someone asks to be called she/her/susan then just do it.

In my life I’ve only met one person who noted her pronouns, and none (including her) who ever asked for specific pronouns use. That’s shit is such a weird Americanism. You’re weird if you do that.

In Dutch it’s “Paardenbloem” (horses’ flower).

there is literally no possible usecase for Generative AI

Demonstrably false: GenCast, a Diffusion model (and thus GenAI), is freely available here as source code to train it yourself if you so wish. ERA5 data is free to download.

It’s cheaper and more accurate in both result and resolution to run a classic Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model.

I will fully agree that all the slop that’s being generated is shite and a waste of time though.

Mathematical Problems with Winner-Takes-All Voting Systems.

I’m Dutch; I can vote for 16 different parties or so… None of those represent me well, and the one I’m voting for never wins anywhere close :(

Everyone deserves health care.

Even people who don’t live in your country? Because that’s going to be a strain on your healthcare system.

Yes, yes, it’s a nice ideal, but when the rubber meets the road, shit can hit the fan, which means healthcare for the FIFO, and the rich.

If it’s “everyone in my circle deserves healthcare”, then it’s very realistic. “Everyone in my country” might even work as well. “Everyone in the world deserves healthcare in my country” not so much.

ALL information, except what you can hold in your brain,

Nice try, FBI - you are NOT getting your grubby little hands on my passwords!

Oh no, equality! How horrific!

And it seems to be Claude, every damn time.

Especially since between Claude and Codex, Claude seems to have NO issues breaking things, while Codex is “I’ve ensured that the old path still works, and also fixed a bug I ran into”.

• Claude is Facebook (“Move fast and break things”)
• Codex is Linux (“We do not break userspace!”)

Spoiler: All Americans that pay taxes are bankrolling authoritarianism. People who buy items from America are bankrolling authoritarianism.

Are all you Americans going to stop paying taxes?

Absolutely legendary thread.

Fuck you, for calling her a female, you sexist piece of shit!

Got anything to back that up, other than “that’s how I feel about it” or nah?

“Bop” stands for “been over passed”

No, it’s not. It means “a good song”.

Nothing on UrbanDictionary, nothing on even Google. What is this nonsense?

Sexual equality has ceased to exist online.

It never existed in the first place, so there’s that.

Anyway, yeah, internet bad. Time to ban all sub-16 children from Social Media. It’s been long overdue.

Note: if we throw out copyright, it’s OK for LLM companies to just steal any and all data under the sun. Example: Anthropic buys books, and just digitizes them, then uses that data to train their LLMs

It’s a nasty side effect.

On the other hand: No company can claim anything you’ve generated from their LLMs.
