rainrain OP ,

what a twist!

rainrain OP ,

That's a very good point

rainrain OP ,

Surely you have better things to do with your time than correct idiots. And it serves the monkey urge to dominance-hump. So regard your motive there with great suspicion.

rainrain OP , (edited )

So I wonder what “you” you, and from here on that means you personally unless otherwise stated, are referring to. Are you ascribing idiot-shouting behavior to me personally? Or are you referring to the neutral “you,” which can be replaced with “one?”

I was shooting for "neutral you".

The reason I’m wondering is that I have given no indication that I shout at idiots but your reply could be incorrectly construed in such a way that I do. Which then doesn’t make the motive warning any clearer also. Because it could be a interpreted as meaning I like to be “dominance-humping” and I ought to reflect on that. Or that my reasoning is too Darwinistic. Or that I shouldn’t judge tight calls by small statistical margins. Or that I like correcting people? Etc. It just isn’t clear.

Dominance humping is immensely popular among us humans. I assumed that you were also a fan. Thus any course of action that happens to also serve it warrants scrutiny.

rainrain OP ,

I like your fire

rainrain OP ,

Yeah, I get the basic idea. I was hoping for a little more on the actual implications tho. Preferably in conversation form rather than copypasted.

rainrain OP ,

I personally think the second language is easier to pick up because languages are 99% alike. But that is beside my point.

My point is that slide into self-reflectingness.

Like one of those old xerox machines. A copy of a copy of a copy.... till the original image is gone, replaced with something crazy.

rainrain OP ,

Don't know what to make of this post?

Sounds more like you have very definite ideas about it. And are offering excuses on google's behalf.

rainrain OP ,

Ideas about how things work can be interesting too.

rainrain OP ,

are you a robot?

rainrain OP ,

I actually did have a vague idea in that general direction.

But that's rather beside my point. I mean, the AI definitely offered these answers. The answers are definitely gender biased. Offering that it's merely an artifact of the LLM technology is definitely a terrible excuse for that.

And given that LLMs are well known to be tweaked to align better with the philosophical styles of the hour, doubly so.

rainrain OP ,

Well given that the bias is generally considered a bad thing, explanations absolving them of responsibility for the badness are what is generally called an "excuse".

rainrain OP ,

What do you call somebody who insists upon ignoring the forest, preferring to closely examine the bark on a single tree?

rainrain OP ,

Look how you've sweetened. A minute ago it was accusations of edgelordyness, antisocialness and unethicality. Hot and cold.

What is your point, in a nutshell?

rainrain OP , (edited )

I think it's quite plausible actually. Implicit to the present state of things. It's just a nice hack away.

At least an entertaining subject for speculation.

But no, you people found a way to find it threatening. You people do that a lot.

rainrain OP ,

Jesus christ. Suit yourself.

rainrain OP ,

I am inspired to post by the prospect of discussing weird interesting stuff. I love doing that.

Lots of fishing involved tho.

rainrain OP , (edited )

Yr probably right. Society would go on as usual because the bottom line is, ultimately, unaffected.

But, squishy moods on a mass scale constitute the weather of politics and commerce. From that angle, big things might happen.

Consider the general stress of a population : X. When x goes up we vote and shop thusly. That's a known thing.

And x would definitely go up here.So such a hackyvirus could be a tool in shifting a close election or selling an unpopular product.

(Not to mention the effect on phone sales, attitudes towards privacy, the eternally eroding nuclear family...)

So that's a thing to think about.

rainrain OP ,

What is your problem?

I present a perfectly tasty and chewable bit of speculation and you people just react with.... the usual.

Nevermind.

rainrain OP ,

Hmm. I'm not familiar. I'll check it out. Thanks.

rainrain OP ,

Lol. You are shameless. But you are one of the few to reply with any substance (not this reply tho). So stick with the substance.

rainrain OP ,

This is facile drivel. Really. Go back to discussing the substance. How society would react etc.

rainrain OP ,

My god man, stop inhaling your own farts, it's killing braincells. Ground yourself in the observable.

rainrain OP ,

It doesn't matter if it's 100%. Or 99%. Or even 90 or 30. It would still be quite the nuke.

I think this is dead obvious. And I mentioned that.

But you can't get past that can you?

It's like you have your eyeball pressed up against the bark of a tree, insisting that there is no forest.

(That's what we call a "metaphor".)

rainrain OP , (edited )

That's right. I did. And people who can't see past that particular bit of treebark for the sake of discussing the forest are what we call... oh, something deeply derogatory. I forget. Use your imagination.

rainrain OP ,

You do better. Return to discussing my point like you did ten replies back. Your shallow hackneyed handwaving just stinks up the thread.

rainrain OP ,

Insightful and psychic. You must be a whiz at a Sudoku.

rainrain OP ,

And a poet as well!

rainrain OP , (edited )

I made a post just for you. Well, and most of the people here actually.

rainrain OP ,

Remember way back when I suggested that you return to discussing my point?

rainrain OP ,

To be clear, your extended tangent into clumsy self-stroking is no fun for me. I want no part of it. My point, otoh, interests me. Therefore...

rainrain OP ,

I'm just guiding to you a better conversation. For your own good.

rainrain OP ,

You guys need a dictator.

rainrain OP ,

You offer so many accusations. It's hard to keep track.

rainrain OP , (edited )

Hmm. I thought I explained this 5 times but in case you missed it

It doesn't matter if it's 100%. Or 99%. Or even 90 or 30. It would still be quite the nuke.

That's the point. That it would be a nuke.

rainrain OP ,

Well at least you're consistent.

rainrain OP ,

It's like teaching a fencepost to play the piano.

rainrain OP ,

Hm. Ask a question, then answer your own question, then enjoy a satisfying climax. Very efficient.

rainrain OP ,

Scamper along. Seriously.

rainrain ,

Horrible person?

I never met her actually. What's she like in person?

rainrain ,

Funny, I need to meet them first. Maybe you just like doing it more.

rainrain ,

Funny, I need to meet them first. Maybe you just like doing it more.

rainrain ,

And yet you see a golden opportunity to indulge. Grasp it!

rainrain ,

No really. A fine opportunity to hate stands before you. No matter that your justification is slim, who needs that? Jump on it like a big vampire.

rainrain ,

It's to be taken lightly.

rainrain ,

A person is very very large, deep and complex.

A bunch of words, even words of great veracity, are just a tiny cartoon.

To judge a large deep complex thing by a tiny cartoon is absurd.

(Unless you really want to judge of course. But that's another matter)

rainrain ,

My theory is that he was an angry fucked up guy. The rest is rationalization and power.

(The first gives the anger form. The second turns an anonymous crank into a global threat. Consider all the people here who say different things yet seem to be always singing the same song. Consider what would happen if you gave the average angry fucked up guy a billion dollar budget, a giant propaganda machine and an army. Consider what would happen if a cute little mouse grew to the size of a skyscraper)

But you know what, get a few drinks into him in a bar and he was probably pretty chill.
