Are you okay sharing the YT channel from this account?

Those claims are put under scrutiny in the video I linked. I’ll have to read the article though, as I’m going off your comment.

It claims you can’t get blacklisted for not towing the party line. You can get blacklisted for not paying fines that you owe. To me, it sounds equivalent to being refused plane fair if you’ve got an unpaid traffic violation from a year ago.

The video even calls out a case where an MMA fighter was blacklisted after participating in Hong Kong protests. But claims the story is misrepresented, and the fighter was actually blacklisted for failure pay $60k after being found liable for defamation against another MMA fighter in a civil suit.

Edit: To be completely frank, I watched that video and thought to myself: such a system probably restricts the actions of the rich a lot more than it does your average Joe. Not sure if I’d mind it, really… Imagine if Alex Jones couldn’t get on a plane right now, given he hasn’t paid the victims of his slander yet?

In unrelated news, Chinese social credit is a deeply misunderstood topic in western culture. It apparently does more to prevent corruption than it does to aid corruption, according to one independent reporter found via my YouTube algorithm. https://youtu.be/iXrx9ryVaes

I’m starting the get the feeling that feeling strongly about almost anything is a pretty strong indicator that I’ve been propagandized. How do we live like this?

I can’t either. I’m fucking hysterical, and not the good kind involving strong stimulants with no sleep.

They can take the cholesterol too. And also the shitty orange dollar store packaging around it.

Yeah, we should be supporting her for this move. Make her feel good about it so that she doesn’t stop. That doesn’t change anything about her past actions, but we don’t want to make stop. It’s like the police offering a plea deal for snitching. We aren’t giving anything up by regarding this as a positive move on her behalf.

Perhaps just a coincidence, but why do all the big cases regarding LLM psychosis seem to revolve around Google? Wasn’t it their own employee who went public last year, claiming it was alive, only to get fired afterward?

What’s crazy is that I remember watching a stock trader/YouTuber back in (I think?) September, and the fucking guy was talking about how we’re witnessing the largest wealth transfer in human history unfolding before us now. He was drawing connections between now and all kinds of stuff… the Federal Reserve, the fluctuation in gold pricing during the fall of Rome, the debasement of currency, removing the gold standard in Nixon era, … all kinds of shit. The idea being, this makes the ultra rich even wealthier. For completely different reasons than we’re mentioning here in this thread, he predicted the circumstances we find ourselves in.

… damn, and I suddenly realize that I am a cooc.

Yeah, to be fair I’ve had them do some pretty incredible stuff. I often need to spend some time finding its mistakes, making it fix them, refining my own verbiage, and coaching how it should be responding (so it doesn’t overwhelm itself). But it’s definitely helped me finish a month of work in a week.

Honestly, this might inspire me to try installing Gentoo again. I’ll just skip the step involving that.

What do you suppose is the US ranking among all other economies, without California? I don’t know any better, but something tells me California might be a pretty big loss. You can cut your leg off if you get an infection… but, you’ve still got to cut your leg off. That’s enough to make some antiscience people consider meds.

Hey WoodScientist, I’ve seen you around a few times. Do you listen to Ezra Klein?

5% of the time? LLMs, from their own perspective, are only capable of hallucinating. There’s no difference in what they’re doing between cases we call “hallucinating” and “correct.” It’s the same process.

Are they loosing money on the OS? I don’t believe for a second that the capitalist company chooses less capital. But, maybe they’ve determined there’s more capital in less market share? What’s your theory, exactly?

I think it had something to do with the embedded antennas, but I could be mistaken.

Is it just the import that’s banned? Or is it more, like registration, sale, ownership, purchase, …?

Like, if I could teleport a Chinese EV into my garage then what’s stopping me from using it?

I spoke with my landlord about removing power to the home security cameras, because they were Ring. He obliged my request, but I later discovered that he (in private) regards my preference as that of a rebellious teenager in need of a cause. I had to let that sink in… I’m a rebel without a cause because I don’t sip from the same koolaid as he does. Wow.

Yep. I remember watching a documentary on how to disappear. Car tires and windshields were both covered, because they can contain traceable technology. This was a decade ago, at least.
