I don't think I've ever seen this phrase used about a conspiracy that actually happened. It always just ends up that they misread something. Especially in politics, casual observers assume everything is about money (especially sha

Well that's easy, you just take whichever position you want on the topic and then say everyone who disagrees with you is white.

Last years were rather tortured. It feels weird to give the chemistry prize to the CEO of a computer science lab.

I think this is a kind of victim-blaming. Slurs aren't caused by their targets. They're about the person saying them.

Which of these are acceptable/unacceptable to you? - posting about saying it "with a hard R" - posting TikToks of yourself yelling "dirty clanker" at delivery robots on the street - posting TikToks of yourself sayin

Note this word is actually a one-off joke from Star Wars, but the reason they're saying it is that you can say it with a hard R. The other words are worse.

By remarkably offensive I mean they're clearly just trying to get away with saying the N-word. The full version too. You should try living your life better.

Eh, not really. It really is decentralized, you can find them on Google. They could stop respecting a certain list but I think you can host your own AppView and get it back?

This is actually very similar to Bluesky discourse last week, where US protest organizers sent out emails asking people to RSVP and all the activist posters got upset and started lecturing everyone that if you want to go to a protest you mu

It already is and has been for a long time. The kinds of content you have to moderate are not things anyone wants to look at. The worst ones are far worse than you can imagine and the average ones are nudes of people you don't want to

It cost $44B to get him unbanned so I think that's actually pretty good evidence it worked. > One of these people now sits in the White House, in part because of backlash to the deplatforming of him and others with similar politics.

He kind of did this by making it so you can see the posts of people who block you. Of course, he did this because he's so annoying everyone blocked him.

"Posting through it" is a fairly nonsensical concept. It implies you're required to agree with people yelling at you, which you aren't. Bluesky in particular has this problem because it inherited a kind of leftist crustp

Bush's PEPFAR was so good that if they gave him the prize it'd be more deserved than many other people who have it.

> First, LLMs can actually plan ahead - to a limited degree. Counterintuitive but true. So by the time the indentation is emitted, an LLM can already have something of a clue as to what the field names may be, and pick the indentation le

IIRC this is what drove Bing Sydney insane - it had a filter on top that added emojis, and its output was fed back to it, which meant it was constantly out of distribution.
