https://desuarchive.org/g/search/text/%22stochastic%20parrot%22/ https://desuarchive.org/g/search/text/%22stochastic%20parrot... it's been used 6 times on /g/ and almost all are mocking the term -- with one calling people stochastic parrots (haha) Meanwhile it's been cited 1200 or so times.

Here's what I said: >> "Camp stochastic parrot"? HN is looking more and more like 4chan. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35451667 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35451667) Then I clarified that: >> I'm talking about your trying to split comments into camps. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35451944 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35451944) Not that "stochastic parrots" is a 4chan thing. The polarised debate with "us" vs. "them" is what reminds me of 4chan. And not just 4chan, it's how people generally behave on the internet: it's always "us" vs "them" and there's no space for interesting conversation.

  fair enough lad - all i'm saying if this phrase has 200 more citations in literature than posts on /g/ i wouldn't invoke the stichwort "4chan" Extreme Polarization in debate FAR easily predates imageboards and even USENET, vi vs emacs probably harkens back to some of the earliest messages on DARPANET (ok, probably the text editor wars were close to a decade later, because i think it was more like the "ed" vs "god do we have anything else" era, but you get the idea -- i'm sadly not old enough to know the details of this golden era) or look upon ye olde days of Slashdot trolling (some netcraftian oracles say that BSD is still, indeed, dying) if you really do want to track the modern internet manifestation back you have to go back before 4chan. We'd have to talk about SA and GBS vs FYAD, and some of the earlier predecessors of SA such as.... Maddox.. and others, i guess? I can't think of other sites, only other names. In any case - don't give 4chan credit where it's undue. Us vs Them goes back a long, long while, perhaps even pre-internet!

    I'm just bringing them up as an example. Anyway, what's with the assumptions? "Lad"? A lad named YeGoblynQueenne? Not that there isn't precedent for that sort of thing [1], but, let's not jump to conclusions. ______________ [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOHPuY88Ry4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOHPuY88Ry4
