What? Were they ever on board for Trump?

It’s not just becoming a religion, it’s being promoted and advertised religiously.

The way the boosters and doomers talk about chatbots make it clear they believe they are building God, and they want everyone to know it.

It was all fun and games until he said Israel doesn’t know that the fuck it’s doing.

Huh. Why do they keep spiking in December? Is that just an administrative quirk because it’s the end of the year?

You literally called it borderline magic.

Don’t do that? They’re pattern recognition engines, they can produce some neat results and are good for niche tasks and interesting as toys, but they really aren’t that impressive. This “borderline magic” line is why they’re trying to shove these chatbots into literally everything, even though they aren’t good at most tasks.

I wonder if they’re rethinking their decision to join this country’s armed forces.

At least they got some useful skills out of it. Hopefully they put them to good use! 🙂

Well, they still do.

But they used to, too.

I remember not even thinking about that scene until I saw it reframed in the documentary Reel Bad Arabs. Hollywood basically used majority Muslim countries and Muslims from these countries as stand ins for “mindless evil savages” for decades. It’s all just Orientalism.

They don’t report Russia’s claims this way. They don’t report Iran’s claims this way.

And people can see it, which is why they don’t trust the media anymore.

Parliamentarian has been blocking a lot of the Republican agenda, I think we are about to find out if the parliamentarian is real.

Because Israel has a complete ban on reporters in Gaza, for example, there’s no way to corroborate or refute what Israel said. It’s newsworthy to repeat what Israel said, but you can’t blame the media when someone reads that and assumes that the government is telling the truth

If there’s no way to corroborate or refute what Israel said, don’t print what Israel said. Lies aren’t newsworthy, except as a way to report on the lies themselves for the purpose of debunking them.

Remember when Israel first started bombing hospitals and blamed Islamic Jihad for it? They still don’t claim responsibility for Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, but after a year of targeting hospitals and doctors it’s ridiculous to deny it at this point.

Yet there were few retractions or corrections. As far as CNN and The Guardian are concerned, Israel didn’t bomb that hospital. What a joke.

As you said yourself, the government lies all the time, so why would you assume that “the government said X happened” means that “X happened”.

I don’t think people make that assumption anymore, but that’s because people stopped trusting the media. They published and promoted so many government lies that they’ve destroyed their own credibility.

People expect the media to investigate government claims and to publish the truth, not just parrot the lies they’re fed. When the media doesn’t do that, when all the major news outlets become court stenographers, people lose faith in the media.

Maybe people are expecting too much, but that’s what people have been taught to expect. They were taught that journalists find the truth and report on it. They’re finding out that journalists basically just print what their sources say and they can’t just trust things because they’re in the news anymore.

And it’s going to get worse forever.

Soy sauce broth is nice and savory, and you can’t go wrong with good ol’ vegetable stock - and don’t forget the MSG!

My definition of artificial is a system that was consciously engineered by humans.

And humans consciously decided what data to include, consciously created most of the data themselves, and consciously annotated the data for training. Conscious decisions are all over the dataset, even if they didn’t design the neural network directly from the ground up. The system still evolved from conscious inputs, you can’t erase its roots and call it natural.

Human-like object concept representations emerge from datasets made by humans because humans made them.

Nothing that has been demonstrated makes me think these chatbots should be allowed to rewrite human history what the fuck?!

I see what you’re saying here: if the media prints lies from a government it’s not the media lying, it’s the government. If Israel says Hamas beheaded 40 babies and that’s found out to be a lie, it wasn’t the media lying about Hamas beheading 40 babies and so the media is entirely innocent of printing the lies fed to it by a government like Israel.

Here’s the thing: if a government lies all the fucking time and the media keeps printing what the government claims anyway, then that makes them complicit in spreading the government’s lies. We all know Israel’s government spreads lies, so printing the lies it spread about Hamas is just doing the government’s work for them. The media doesn’t get to wash its hands of the things it prints just because it puts “Israel says” before the headline.

It’s literally the least you can do, less than literally anything else, and doing the least possible is not good enough.

You don’t get to wash your hands because you voted for Kodos. Has Harris even come out against bombing Iran?

Bath water flavor.

I’m saying that the terms “natural” and “artificial” are in a dialectical relationship, they define each other by their contradictions. Those words don’t mean anything once you include everything humans do as natural; you’ve effectively defined “artificial” out of existence and as a result also defined “natural” out of existence.

South Korea just had that failed coup too, they’re ripe for China to swoop in and provide stability while the US tries to strong arm them.

I didn’t hear no bell…
