I do feel sorry for people who have learned one or more regular expression syntax. Very non-intuitive but powerful languages that are now completely useless to have committed to memory.

Is this the one whose family member killed the abusive husband with her as a co-conspirator? Glad to hear she got out of being executed.

I'm not really seeing the flaw, personally. When would it have been better for the head of state to intervene?

Wouldn't the pro-trans laws he has signed count as push coming to shove?

Of course, not only does the anti-AI community not "seem" to be interested in threading that needle, they openly tell us that they are not. Moreover, it's not even a needle that technically can be threaded, since all LLMs whether "generative" or not rely on the same technology and research.

I think the motte-and-bailey fallacy works differently in the current online ecosystem: increasingly, certain people are delegated to occupy the motte, while others gleefully spend all their time in the bailey. This as opposed to the same people doing both and potentially getting caught out.

Certain questions are way less effort to ask the chatbot.

Ralph Wiggum, paraphrased, has pertinent thoughts as well.

"Me increase the breadth of my education by watching lecture series on YouTube? That's unpossible."

A lot of it is this

"I would love to have a course suited specifically to my level in x subject that I can do in my own time for a low cost."

"Have you tried searching for one on Google?"

"Oh, I'm not interested enough to do something like *that*"

This problem is becoming increasingly solved for many subjects with online courses.

Not sure what value there is in reporting what Grok AI says about media bias when asked leading questions.

Like those people don't even want you to sanewash their opinions and neither does anyone else. So just stop it.

They literally are.

Here's a person on the internet who hates the translation thing.
if you use AI you're a fascist, end of story

"Obviously taking compulsory humanities classes is important because that's what I did and I don't see how anyone else could have had a different experience. By the way, the humanities classes made me very circumspect and self-aware"

I've got a working theory
No wonder they hate AI - it might be over hyped, but it's trivially capable of reproducing their personalities:

Americans will never be able to conceptualise the idea that the way an American system does things may not be the best.

One of the first political things I read as a teenager was Dude, Where's my Country by Michael Moore, in which he advocated for General Wesley Clark to run for President against Bush. It wasn't because Moore thought being in the military makes you infallible!

Because platforming is only relevant to the extent that it reaches people. We know that part of the problem of the platforming is that even if it only happens a few times, it is done by people and organisations with qualitatively high reach.

I don't think the extent to which people are platforming Hanania is really knowable since it's not an issue that is particularly well polled, but we know for certain that it's happening at least to the extent that a Blue State Governor thought it was a good idea to do so.

And if he did actually have to govern, he would be far better than anyone from a right wing party, and probably not even that much worse than the current mess.

It does have a certain logic to it: outflank the right in terms of "strength" and "masculinity" with a conventionally attractive person with a well regarded previous career who hasn't been in politics long enough to do anything controversial.
