I've never made an anonymous account to scream into the void with before so we're gonna try this form of masking and see if it summons a persona or a stand or whatever he/him/they/whatever I'm not fussy

Unfortunately for people in those crystals, "others" won't stop existing no matter what they do. The argument will always hang over their head like a dangling sword, so instead of just stepping out from under it, they'll simply build scaffolds of our bones such that the sword will never reach them

This creates an argument. An argument is seen as anathema to the ataraxia of the machine that is an "office".
Because of this, biases get refined into cold steel that then become the norm. When something is the norm, the bias becomes invisible.

But oh no, look at that, our society has made honesty a negative thing to display in work environments because that "wouldn't be polite" to say "hey, maybe don't say that thing about disabled people" or "hey that's a slur, please don't use that."
"I didn't mean anything by it"

The most frustrating part is that the only thing needed in order to cut through the knot is honesty. Nothing more. Just be honest about where you're coming from. Be honest about what you're aware of, what you think you may not be aware of. Be upfront about your biases. That's literally all it is /

Like that was the entire point of the first season, he's not different, he's lucky he's in the position he's in but he's not fucking different.
Now here we are in this whole weird season story where he's "playing hero" in a curated role by the game itself

I was so frustrated at the end of the first episode. Where Gi-hun is playing russian roulette with the initial recruiter and the guy gives the whole spiel about how "You'll have to admit you're just like all of them"
And then he... doesn't just shoot the asshole in the face. He plays the game

There are people who, somehow, simultaneously believe that we're going to terraform mars in the next 25 years or whatever AND that humans don't cause climate change.

Forgot alt text, but it's a picture of a character from One Piece telling an enemy who expressed frustration about worrying about the future that "Worries are also a part of life"

I've heard people argue that the impulse to consolidate wealth and power is survival instinct
Maybe it was at one point, but now it's an equation of discomfort with death. A belief that elimination of discomfort = progress
You cannot eliminate discomfort from the world. Trying to only brings death

I understand you work to build affordable housing, that's great! But arguing that people don't know what they're talking about when they say "Hey maybe we should treat housing as a human right" does not help people who do not have houses.

I have similar and no one gives a shit
But since you seem to care because you're trying to pull rank without talking about what the degrees are even in, I have an MS in Economics, you do not know what you're talking about.
Das Kapital is literally just an econ textbook. Christ dude.

I would argue that even if something is easy to verify, if it's not something that we already know to be true it's easy to miss nuances, like with the tb diagnoses depending more on the machine used than any other factor and people not realizing as much.
But I understand what you mean

Everything I've seen where it's useful is for things like creating synthetic network packet data or user interaction data
Things that are stateful and therefore can be verified by a handwritten algorithm before analyzing, which can aid an argument with that caveat stated upfront.

I have a bunch of caveats in this thread, and up front I'm generally very against LLM use. People need to assume it's lying to them if they dont already have a way of checking output.
I know of legitimate uses in academia, but exactly zero of them are in "compiling research"

This is an example of how I use ChatGPT when I rarely do so. Something that's hard to google, I know I'll be able to confirm the answer when I see it, and something I can only describe in a fuzzy way
If a single prompt takes the energy of 10 google searches, this likely saved searches in my case
