A greenchem TNT study sounds fun tbh

I think you're overestimating the Average Canadian Chud. I feel like this would be viewed as a positive by a significant chunk of 'normie Canadians' - especially the ones that would remotely consider supporting PP

The thing is, 'juicing' is inherently in tension with algorithm optimization. An extreme demonstration: post-musk blue checks, where boosting anyone with $10 instantly destroyed comment sections. Virality is hard to organically + reliably induce. It can de-boosted though, or used as a 'carrier'

True, and also even if they can't manually make something go viral, they can certainly throttle it. Yeah idk there`s a lot to chew on, someone should go write that

Part of the challenge is that 'going viral' is a chaotic phenomenon and I'm not sure social media companies actually have much control over it (because if they did, they'd be selling 'going viral' to advertisers)

Has anyone tried to formulate an analogous model for the 21st century? Or is this shit pretty much incomprehensible

Yup, everyone else only knows how to bomb out insurgents in Toyotas. Russia and Ukraine are the only countries that have had a taste of modern 21st century state-vs-state warfare

How do you not feel ashamed advertising that you're a genocide supporter? In 15 years you'll lie and say you were always against it

I was made painfully aware of this at a dinner party when a friend segued from ranting about excessive energy consumption when training LLMs to ranting about energy wasted because phones enable autocomplete by default. The connection: "it's still machine learning"

"Can I put in an order for an uncooked pizza with just sauce and cheese on it?" Honestly not a bad idea

No, but I can remind you that you're a racist and genocidal maniac and that you'll be claiming you were 'always against this' in 10 years

The problem is that 'purpose' is a useful shorthand that even evolutionary biologists slip into (i.e. the reflexive answer to "why do cats have eyes on the front of heads but mice have them sideways?")
Chemists have a similar habit of describing molecules/conformations as 'happy/angry'

None of that matters. Nothing can ever justify this, and you will someday lie and say you agree.

Your inability to understand this is precisely why people don't like you. I know your type. Everyone in your life thinks you're a weird loser, and the funniest thing is that it's obvious online too

Regardless of whether the total destruction of Gaza counts as a genocide to you, that it's debated at all should make it obvious why the world protests it - hint: it's not because they're all "Hamas supporters", you dumb unlikeable racist.

Someday you'll pretend you were against this all along

Dipshit. Israel's head of state is wanted by the ICC. Reputable organizations ranging from the UN to Amnesty have accused Israel of genocide (and it's facing the allegation at the ICJ). Protesting your government's support of that doesn't make you a "Hamas supporter"

PS you're a mediocre loser lol

There's no credible evidence of this. You're making up racist shit and playing to racist tropes.

Also, go fuck yourself

That would track, though the above report also states that Koreans are the biggest cohort. That said, the US is certainly trying its damn hardest to burn down its education system
