Hot take but unfortunate symptom of decentralised blocklists is you have opinionated people controlling participation across the platform which is a bad thing. 63k people are downstream of blocklists, they haven’t blocked him specifically

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

this is, and it will become more and more obvious, a skill issue.
ask for a one-shot, yeah, get junk. Iterate through stepwise instruction and build tests (either by hand, another model, whatever) while actively auditing it? I dunno, I end up something like 3-5x more productive on any real metric

I didn't invade & colonise Australia 230 years ago. I didn't kill Indigenous landowners who had lived on & cared for these lands for at least 65,000 years. But when I #VoteYes, I will be part of today's Australia. One that wants to listen & repair harm & recognise what's true.
