Yeah, very silly statement for them to write. I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if certain pollutants in that range were proven or will be proven to be causing gradual damage to the brain but that has to be presented properly.

I don't agree at all. (Minus the 4o cultist faction.)

The anti-AI movement feels increasingly cultish.

Even before COVID things were shifting - the antivax part of the left at that time were mostly only sort of aesthetically on the left. I think this Twitter exchange sums up my feelings about that counterargument: https://i.imgur.

There is some (though in my opinion not much) merit to how right-wingers portray the "Russiagate" thing. The Russian government absolutely did try to interfere in the 2016 US presidential election to help Trump and hurt Clinton, v

By left-wing politicians, basically none (while right-wing conspiracy theories are now promoted by tons of right-wing politicians). Among non-politicians: while right-wingers are far more likely to believe in conspiracy theories and the nat

>And again, trying to change people's minds by telling them what they believe is wrong is a fools errand (99.99% of the time). But it still needs to happen as that misinformation should not go unchallenged. It's a trite point a

Maybe "devil's advocate" was the wrong term for me to use. In this thread I am sharing only my honest beliefs and perspectives and was referring to the genuine initial willingness I had to show charitability to the concept of

This is very, very true. The best debunkers avoid being hostile and make the other side feel like they're being heard and that their feelings and fears are being validated. And they do it in a way that feels honest and not condescendin

On one hand, yes, you're completely right.* On the other hand, there is an obligation for something or someone to do the job of pointing out the info is wrong, and how and why. Even if it makes most of them believe it even more strongl

We're discussing the central sources of knowledge on the internet and by extension pretty much the epistemological backbones of present human civilization. It's worth being open to other perspectives. I, a left-leaning person who

I am not using hyperbole or speculating. I absolutely mean it. "Biggest" is tough to quantify, but "most significant" and "most effective" is what I meant. I use Twitter way too many hours a day basically every

My expectations were extremely low, as were, and are, my expectations of Grok in general. Was just making an actual devil's advocate case.

I fully agree. Even assuming no forced ideological bias from Elon, I doubt it would be nearly as good. I still thought it could be an interesting concept, even if I had very low hopes from the start.

I am willing to believe it. Just in my own experience as a native English speaker, English dubs of non-English anime, shows, and movies are generally awful, and the non-awful ones are still significantly worse than the original. It's p

To play devil's advocate: Grok has historically actually been one of the biggest debunkers of right-wing misinformation and conspiracy theories on Twitter, contrary to popular conception. Elon keeps trying to tweak its system prompt to

This but non-ironically. (Unfortunately the current United States administration makes the nation much closer to one of the Bad Nations, though, so it's kind of moot anyway.)

I suppose I can't say it's impossible. It just seems very very uncommon, and it has to be a case where the original has unusually bad voice actors and the dub has unusually good voice actors. Most of the things I would want to wat

Infotainment YouTube videos, and most YouTube videos in general, are just kind of mildly interesting or mildly entertaining content. Television shows are usually things production crews have toiled away at for years to complete an artistic

But... people who only speak English and no other languages watch shows and films in other languages all the time. That's what the subtitles are for. I would guess 99% of anime watchers who listen in the original audio don't know

Very odd. I definitely do that with podcasts and miscellaneous YouTube videos (like the latest LegalEagle video or whatever) but the idea of doing it with a show/anime/movie is unthinkable to me.

Apologies if this seems snarky or rude but I would be very, very, very surprised if any part of the dub for Steins;Gate sounds better than any part of the original audio.

Very off-topic but use of "b/c" and "w/o" in all your posts makes you stand out quite a bit. And the particular use of "&", as well.

It baffles me how this is a thing. Not just regarding anime but any non-English language show or film. I've never come across a dub that wasn't at least five times worse in every way.

I think there's more than just regulatory capture at play here, unfortunately. America is an odd place. I think a public option is the only feasible path forward.

Try the TypeScript codex CLI with the gpt-5-codex model with reasoning always set to high, or GPT-5 Pro with max reasoning. Both are currently undeniably better than Claude Opus 4.1 or Sonnet 4.5 (max reasoning or otherwise) for all code-re

As long as it's stored and processed locally, I don't really see the implications being that much worse than someone getting all your local IRC/IM/email logs. (Those or their equivalents are stored in the cloud nowadays
