Just 100%? Why not 400% or 9999999%? Hell, invent a new order of magnitude, call it Trumpillion and impose a Trumpillion percent tarriff, that’ll show’em how strong you are and will distract them from the Epstein files!

That’s because the author seems to be a journalism vegan, writing vegan and self-awareness vegan.

I would genuinely have more trust in a politician consulting I Ching than ChatGPT - at least the book of changes requires some thinking and interpretation, fucking hell…

Sigh, all the tech-bros that convinced the general public that AI are in any way intelligent or that they can think, reason or understand concepts like truth/lies or right/wrong should go on trial for crimes against humanity…

Sadistic fucking psychopaths. I literally can’t wrap my head around this level of cruelty. How can you even live with yourself, fucking hell, how do you sleep at night after doing something like this? I can’t fathom hating anyone bad enough to actually enjoy watching them suffer like that, it’s just… I don’t even have words to express how disgusting and sad this whole situation is…

Come on UK, just skip all the boring parts and make unremovable collars for everyone fitted with GPS, cameras and miniature bombs that can be remotely detonated. After all, that’s the only way to make sure nobody is doing bad, very bad illegal stuff and to PROTECT THE CHILDREN, isn’t it? Fucking hell, these fucks really are trying to create a bloody dystopia…

I need to read more about this, thanks! I’m not even in the US or from it, so it’s not like I’ll ever actually discuss it with anyone, but I’m just fascinated by the whole MAGA phenomenon, in pay because other, hopefully less brain-washy right wing movements are popping up all over the world…

And yet again I ask myself: how do you deprogram a person brainwashed into tribalism and cultism so deeply that they will actively defend a pedophile as long as he is from their tribe (or is a leader of their cult)…

It’s so goddamned hard to feel compassion for people like that, but I try, I just seriously don’t know if anything except pharmacological intervention can help at this stage… :(

Brilliant lecture, and it points out the reasons for fundamental differences in morality, but apart from calling things by different names (vide Alligator Auschwitz in this very post), which is a great succession, it doesn’t give me much actionable advice.

Still fascinating though - them you so much for posting it here! I want to listen to/read more things by him now!

Sure, that’s definitely an option that would be healthier/easier for me personally, but can you really disengage when people in government build concentration camps and secret police force? I’m not even American or in America and it’s just overwhelming…

One thing that really saddens me in all… this (gestures broadly at everything) is that I have no idea how to deal with people with no empathy, with people who think this is okay. I just really do not know what to say an how to say it.

I’ve been raised with empathy. I knew even before going to kindergarten that it’s more fun to share some of my toys with other kids because then we can all play together. I knew that doing nice things for others gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. I learned that helping people is GOOD.

And I just don’t know how to deal with people who have not. I don’t know how to deal with people who will put other people in cages just because they look vaguely Latino, without due process. I don’t know how to deal with people that cheer for that. I just don’t know. How the fuck do I, do we, deal with people who have no empathy whatsoever? Not a rhetorical question by the way, I hope someone can explain it to me like I’m overly sensitive empathetic five-year old…

How very corporate of them: people don’t want to do something? Screw finding out why, let’s make it mandatory and poof, problem solved!

You thought vibe coding was bad? Welcome to the age of vibe bombing…

Trump just desperately wants to nuke something. Anything’s fine, he just wants to drop a nuclear bomb on stuff. I mean, he was floating nuking a goddamned hurricane before.

He’s like a toddler that sees a big red button and just HAS to push it, because it’s just there and it’s so big and red and it will make things go boom!

I hope so, I genuinely do.

I think I’ve reason for this is that using LLMs is basically outsourcing all cognitive capacity to a machine, so the cognitive decline is comparatively bigger.

Does using a calculator cause a cognitive decline? Absolutely, but since you still need to know the order of operations (at least with simple calculators), how to interpret brackets and such, it’s comparatively small. Same with, say, a thesaurus. You do outsource a part of cognitive capacity used to learn big words, but still need to know grammar to string sentences together.

With ChatGPT though, you literally do almost nothing. Asking a simple question is all you need. This means your brain doesn’t need to work at all, and getting used to that means it’s harder and harder to make it work when you need it to…

It’s absolutely not okay, but since there will be no negative consequences for it whatsoever, it’s the new normal. This is sadly what happens when laws are not enforced, and I’m not sure if anything even can be done anymore…

Because THAT’S the person that you look at and think “yup, that’s my role model, he’s awesome!”… What’s wrong with people, seriously…

Exactly - such labels would be ignored even more than the ones on cigarettes are, especially by the addicts. And it’s so much easier to completely hide them too - adblockers already hide a lot of content people don’t want to see, this would just become another line in the filter list so fast…
