worth noting that google/twitter/facebook/reddit/others colluded to combine sessions, identifiers, so that any person getting identified on any one session / ip would be identified on all
so while this comment is apt, i would ask them what they think of the previous chicxulub impact of the 2012 era collusion - which to this day has not been reported on
(just realized emacs bindings work in comments, nice, no ctrl-x tho)
It originated and sounded like a curated package manager, not that that means anything today at all. I don't know when it was officially dropped in anyone's expectations, but homebrew is nothing more than a `git clone` run, and abstracting that is just dangerous for the user.
On June 27, 2024, the Biden Administration announced the final sale and transferring of the U.S. government’s remaining helium reserve to Messer LLC, a subsidiary of a German industrial gas business group with operations in China.
The only thing with more power than curiosity and intelligence is the power of indignant ignorance.
If this had been submitted on April 1st, I might've let it slide, but this is just ridiculous. It's like saying, "I mean, it's just one big word salad of how do you define something?" It's really quite sad.
It goes deeper than that. What happened was a hugely tiny minority of very loud people festered in Tumblr and Reddit, and Reddit became the single most censored site on the internet, eclipsing China. The number of censorship actions individually in 2012 to 2016 eclipsed China, just on Reddit alone. And nobody wants to say that or even acknowledge it or even look at it, and we're on an internet site about communications on the internet, and not a single person has ever stated that fact. They destroyed Reddit; that's the dead internet theory. Reddit is back to faking it, but there's never going to be a chance to kickstart something like Reddit. That's why they're actually trying to resurrect other websites now.
So this tyrannical mob of minorities destroyed Reddit, and now they have to metastasize and they have to go to other places. So they ironically started using other websites, but actually that's just because they found new ways to get that dopamine hit of controlling other people's behaviors and actions through censorship, and that's what drives them. So you're right; people quit, but wherever they go on any site, basically, there's no safe spaces left for free speech; there's only safe spaces left for censorship.
Brain rot and content don't even come into the equation. That's just throughput. I think we hit peak conversation around about 2017, and I think the well-known surface area where people can actually write coherently in a way that gets read got erased, and now it's balkanized in substacks and short-form video, and everything that used to be comment is now commentary, and you have to talk, you have to listen to some bobblehead talking, and then the comment section is nothing; nobody reads it; there's no conversation happening anymore. And that was deleted by the tyrannical minority who took every surface they could and destroyed it.
Has he realized that he's neither a statistician, economist, or political pundit, and now he's stating the extremely unobvious, hard-to-discern, and mystifying realization that social media and the internet are weird?
I say thank God for Nate Silver for educating the masses that the internet has weirdness on it.
Without Nate, what would we do? Who would be there to tell us that the internet has weirdness? 15 years after articles talking about algorithms and echochambers?
Without Nate, how can we point to some completely incorrect numbers and some completely obvious observations, whether it's obviously true or obviously false? We just need the obvious from Nate. Wow, imagine waking up every day and just desperately scrabbling to find some semblance of usefulness and utility in your existence.
Entire sick post was: "Hey, if you think I'm bad, look at Elon. I'm the one that tried to stop him having control."
Altman is a ghoul, and we can't be cowed into saying otherwise. he's also supported all the weakness in society that has lead to sick people doing sick things.
Well, that's human slop, and it's actually more insidious than AI slop. You know what's weird? We've had this for almost twenty years. This human slop in writing this is the first time ever that this painful writing has been addressed by someone else on a comment on the internet. I've raised it so many times, but it's the first time I've ever seen one other person acknowledge it. Like, how crazy is that? Is the last twenty years been a fever dream?
I think your only defense would be to pretend to be a bot at this point, because what you just said was completely ridiculous and embarrassing. You realize it's not a requirement that you have to post a comment when you have no idea what to say?
