I doubt it’s bots. To me, it always felt more like cosplay from attention seekers; a form of trolling that requires mass social media.
It could also be “journalist” looking for some conflicting commenters from which they can twist words and generate new content.
You did it!
The thing you weren’t doing was being uneasy.
Now you can rest easy.
Oops. Too late. Time to be uneasy again.
Silly prole. Why would I read about Marxism on how to play the stock market?
Go be a good cog now and create that surplus value for me to extract.
This is the proletariat view of the world.
For anyone who isn’t just a common wage worker and is aware of how markets work, it is very definitely not the case.
A cog in the machine cannot perceive the machine’s changing output.
I think that’s a different discussion.m. We can make excuses all day for how people end up with extreme views. It doesn’t change anything. The reason it occurs is part of human nature, a weakness that one has to choose to overcome on a daily basis or not. Choosing wrong too often and there might be no way back.
I find this most evident in people who suddenly shift right when they end up in some sex scandal, they move towards the group that is most forgiving of such events and lose themselves in the shift. Russel Brand and Musk are two examples.
Knowledge seeking for the sake of knowledge seeking is something totally different. It requires accepting one knows nothing and despite all the knowledge gather now knows less. It requires a humility that can be uncomfortable.
Few end up adding significant new knowledge. Those who do maintain a humbleness as the recognize the efforts who came before them.
Those who pretend become exploiters, it takes little effort to reveal their search was only ever for loopholes. Those people are another form of extremist.
Stupid people don’t know how stupid they are. They reject the very notion. It’s how one stays stupid in a world with all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips.
Turns out access to knowledge was not a threat to the leaders in history. The very idea they were concerns may be oversold.
The question he asked to ChatGPT doesn’t seem particularly vague to me. He used various algorithm names and concepts such that all he really asked is “I want a fruit like an apple but not as round” and it responded with “pear”
You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?
You ai bots aren’t fooling me!
A rockstar developer doesn’t churn out unmaintainable, by definition.
The number of people who think they are rockstar developers but clearly aren’t is probably close to the number of cover bands who see themselves as undiscovered rockstars.
I’ve worked with people like this, their best hope is to fail upwards into management.
The only way to know if you are competent coder is for other coders to tell you. If none are telling you, your imposter syndrome isn’t.
There are other signs as well but these aren’t taught in formal education. An example being the ability to recognize how your old code could be improved. The way requirements stack over time makes this a certainty in any product.
Yep. It would fork.
Last free version plus mods to add features from paid upgrades.
Personally, I find it a bit weird that games are no longer even done. The only way it can end is enshitifaction.
Fuck Everything, We’re Doing Five Folds.
See the above comment for an example of how America became a failed a state and why it will remain as such.
Agreed. I think moderating comments needs to be banished. The community can self-moderate with voting.
Banning users is pointless. Accounts can be created very easily. With decentralized one doesn’t even need to go to the lengths one does with Reddit.
Moderating should be reserved for keeping a sub’s posts relevant to the group’s purpose and nothing else.
Based on the dark humor groups on Facebook, I am quite confident this is what racists actually believe. Transphobes too.
The poorly educated think dark humor is a joke an acceptable way to joke about ideas they hate.
When a study linking dark humor to intelligence was released, the knuckle draggers clucked and strutted about, thinking their hatred indicated intelligence.
50/50 chance they believe you.
Unlike those kindergartens.
Vegans need to downvote anyone that disagrees when them is proof their ideas cannot stand scrutiny. They do not relish in a debate of in any capacity. They don’t even have original ideas, it’s the same couple talking points because it’s ideology base. They call themselves converts but won’t accept it’s a religion.
I’m sure you perceive it that way, as you already said you perceive being a threat. You appear to take pride in it.
Couldn’t be less threatened by you. Your abstinence reduces price competition for meat products. You are restricting yourself such that it benefits me.
The real threat in this regard are the boomers who eat more meat products than other generations.
I feel I should donate a quarter head of beef to a local food pantry in your name as tribute and to show there are no ill feelings. At least from me. I doubt you feel the same towards me.
Nope. Vegans are fine. Veganist like you are religious nut jobs. You’ve created narratives and then act like anyone who doesn’t agree with you is the bad guy. Not unlike the far right or any other extremist group.
That feeling of your existence being a threat is the same feeling any other authoritarian feels.
So like all of quantum mechanics then.
