When you say "we" you're talking about Twitter, right?
- erikerikson 5mo agoI used that once, during a conference about 6 years ago and never again since. My use of "we" references humanity.
- i_think_so 5mo agoIn that case, I feel that "we" needs some correction. Because these slopcannons get their ammunition from scraping the gargantuan septic tanks of the Internet, like Twitter and Facebook and whatever 600M Chinese people are using that I've never heard of. Comparatively very little of that "humanity" corpus is coming from Shakespeare or Swift or Douglas Adams, much as we might prefer if it did.
- erikerikson 5mo agoI never claimed it was trained on the notables of humanity. On the other hand, to your adjacent point (to twist it) that humanity needs some correction, I whole heartedly agree.
