Good, it’s the only reliable sign of intelligent self-awareness there is, to the point that all children progress through it, starting out as bad liars, and getting better at it.
LLMs however might just be stupid, or stocasticaly incorrect.

Fascism is Capitalism’s immune system, activated when the wealth gap gets too large.
Yep, so much of Reddit is like that… Creating an adversarial relationship with users …and just like YouTube slowing down people using ad blockers, or games demanding people be online, it will eventually drive people away.
Death by a thousand self-inflicted cuts.
…and all so they can steal our collective content, creativity, and every piece of individual thought or content we’ve ever communicated online.
…with the aim of exploiting it to make billionaires richer.
Add removal, pocket further advertising can choosing to appear in, simple bad coding, or are they doing abmassive AI study to see how different paddings affect our choices?
Who knows!
CAPITAL-ism is aimed and designed to benefit those with the capital.
As long as they’re not hallucinating, which anyone (including conspiracy theorists) can ask them to do. They they turn into conspiracy confirming machines.
Three wheel skates should rebrand as something cooler, like in-line skates, or even better “roller blades”.
Just to clarify, the majority of active pedophiles are opportunistic, they go after those they have access to.
This is why every industry that has greater access to children, also has an greater number of pedophile scandals… It’s a problem, and yeah, giving someone direct access via a computer to a child’s digital life is a form of access that might be used opportunistically by such people.
“AI” or Large Language Models, are designed by definition to give averaged answers. So they’re not just averaging on the text you give them, they’re averaging it with all general text of the training model, to create a probabilistically average result based on all of it.
There’s no way around this, because it’s simply how such systems work. It’s their lifeblood to produce a “best guess” across large amounts of training data …which is done by averaging out all that language. A large amount of language… Hence the name.
Automate terra forming against climate change. I want big machines and swarms of drones doing 24/7 regreening and planting forests in the desert.
There’s a this American Life episode about this, starts off being about the birthday paradox… Gives a good run down of how voter fraud has been disproven as an issue:

They all ended up corrupted over time.
…a “leveraged loan” usually means there’s a contract to sell a natural resource for a very cheap price (far below the market rate) if the loan isn’t paid back. That’s the “leverage” that makes the loan (usually to an otherwise poor country) “good” in the eyes of the world bank.
So that’s what happens. If they refuse to give up the goods, they’ll get down graded, possibly refused global banking services, or put on an embargo list… And they’ll probably arrange ownership of the mine/refinery/wells and have them secured with private security forces anyways.
When you’re too questionable for the world bank - who regularly offers leveraged loans to dictators they know are going to embezzle the cash and flee, leaving whole countries destitute.
…even those guys are like - “nah, Elon Musk clearly has a questionable character”.
Courage is knowing it will hurt, and doing it anyway believing it’s for the right reasons.
Stupidity is knowing it will hurt, and doing it anyway believing it’s for the right reasons.
In a meme with famed Zionist Myriam Bialik.
Look up “surveillance capitalism”… It’s for directed marketing and algorithmic attention manipulation. It Chomsky’s idea of the “very lively debate within a narrow range of ideas” combined with Fouccalt’s idea of the Panopticon.
As Adorno said of the consumer culture industry: “Something is provided for all, so that none may escape”.
Most of the deaths under Stalin were from the conman Trofim Lysenko, who created “Lysenkoism” (a set of farming techniques he was faking the data on to get paid), and under both Mao and Stalin were from unwanted famines.
