  • invalidates the fact that toddlers will instinctively walk up to other toddlers to play regardless of their race.

    That happens because in-group selection is forming as toddlers…

    Like, this highlights my general point. You’re just making a bunch of assumptions based on feelings instead of spending five minutes looking into all the actual scientific research.

    The connection is that just like they need exposure to language, they need someone to socialize them and develop an aversion to violence. Done properly everytime a child uses violence they are told “no” and have some means of punishment. Which teaches them not to be violent.

    Without that, you get an adult who readily uses violence.

    You’re seeing the results of literal decades of socialization and ate deciding it’s not necessary because everyone’s socialized.

    So why not just stop socializing them?

    I hope that made sense, or at least someone else will help you.

    But I’m just getting too many flashbacks to when ICP tried to guess how a magnet works…

  • Ultimately the problem with LLM accusations is that short of a confession or doing some hardcore surveillance of the other person you can’t prove it

    Human variation.

    Ironically you would have to take the others person word on it, luckily you just said you were comfortable doing so.

    Some people are statistically insignificant, and to them lots of stuff is incredibly obvious and they’re constantly frustrated others can’t see it. They might even sink sizeable free time into explaining random shit, just to practice not losing their temper when people can’t see the obvious.

    So you might not be able to tell that was AI from a glance, but humans are pattern recognition machines and we’re not all equally good at it.

    So believe a “llm accusation” or not, but some people absolutely can pick out a chatbot response, especially when taking the two seconds to glance at typical comments from a user profile.

    Jump from 1-2 sentence comments to a stereotypical AI response…

    Well, again, not everyone is as good at picking out patterns quickly.

    To some what took me literally under 10 seconds and two clicks counts as “hardcore surveillance” because it would take them a long time to figure it out.

    Don’t assume everyone else is exactly like you.



  • Stop burning the planet down to generate social media comments

    I mean, I thought it would be obvious my issue was with using AI to do so…

    Even if it had been a serious question.

    But, to be fair I was thinking of what a normal.person would be able to parse, and not people who’s critical thinking had already atrophied from offloading to AI.

    They probably don’t have any idea what I meant and would need it explicitly spelled out.










  • This is why I hate the oversimplification of language and distilling everything into buzzwords.

    Sure, it’s easier to have shorthand for the people who know what they’re talking about. But eventually people only learn the shorthand and the context it’s used in.

    It’s exactly like trump screaming

    Puppet! You’re the puppet!

    He didn’t know why people kept calling him a puppet, just that it was bad so he called them that back.

    Not to mention the huge PR gain from having to call “ecoterrorists” what they really are “people who put the environment over capitalism”.



  • Ever valuation is a bubble…

    Say a company is “worth” 100 million. That assume that 100% of the shares equal 100 million.

    However, it’s a startup, so 90% of the stock will never see the light of day.

    But you need capital to start so 5% got sold for 50k a year ago, that made the company worth a million, because 1% equaled 10k.

    But today, another investor (for whatever reason) bought 5% for 5 million, that’s what made the valuation 100 million. The people who own 90% can now borrow money against their hypothetical 90 million, even tho if push came to shove, those shares are only worth what someone will pay for them… And if you increase supply by 10x you lower the price drastically.

    Really “bubble” is overestimating how robust our entire economy is.

    It’s all built on this shell game where no real wealth exists, but banks keep loaning our actual money out against the hypothetical wealth tied up in stocks.

    Like, imagine if I owned a billion grains of sand, sold one single grain for $2 to my buddy, then claimed my net worth was 2 billion, and conned a bank into loaning me just 100 million, then invest that into my buddy’s start up to pay him back for his investment in my mine that secured my loan.

    Numbers keep going up, but absolutely none of it is real. It’s just a couple of assholes insisting they’re somehow “creating wealth”.
