LLMs lack real-life experience in the same way that humans lack real-quark experience. Does only direct sensory input count, or does experience mediated through tools count? How mu…

What is truth, but defined by our sensory input? LLMs care about truth insofar as truth exists in their sensory input. They also can be massaged for financial incentives when contr…

Can you prove those aren't true?

> humans tend to project meaning onto ambiguous outputs from systems they perceive as having special insight or authority This applies just as well to other humans as it does AI. I…

> you asked a question into a black box, received a symbolic-seeming response, evaluated its truth post hoc, and interpreted its relevance So any and all human communication is div…

There isn't anything objectively wrong with those. You can still derive a functioning society from selfish principles. I don't want to live in a society where I can just get murder…

Nix has been around since 2003, NixOS just takes that to its logical conclusion. cloud-init may have been inspired by it (I don't know), but certainly not the other way around. By …

Their answer to Nix is snaps, which will never be the right answer to anything. They're stuck in an old mode of thinking and missed the boat. NixOS or something very much like it i…

What a stupid take. Sorry to be blunt, but you need to be told that, because you should feel bad. There's a reason for the quote "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending t…

Have you seen Elon Musk's literal Nazi salute? This isn't anyone painting him as a Nazi but himself

How can you possibly like someone throwing around literal Nazi salutes? Are you unaware of that?

Genital configurations are a distraction. You can get incomplete/malformed genitals in individuals with disorders of sex development, but that doesn't change their sex. > Trans peo…

Sorry, but this is exactly what I'm talking about. Trans women are a subset of men. Taking cross-sex hormones and getting surgery won't actually change your sex. It's the best we c…

Trans women are men that suffer from an unfortunate condition. We need to accept this. Trying to gaslight people into denying basic reality created a backlash that was partially re…

That's plainly false. Incarcerated women have already been raped, beaten, and impregnated by men in women's prisons. Men, including transgender women, are bigger and stronger than …

Can we first agree that this case is a terrible one, in which a man intentionally identified as a woman in order to get the chance to rape women? There's more cases, but if we can'…

A heterosexual transgender woman intends to deploy those genitals on women. That makes it a problem for uninvolved women that shouldn't have to worry about men in women's spaces. I…

That should be fixed, but don't shunt he problem off onto women. Men belong in sex-appropriate prisons.

Men don't belong in women's prisons. Find a way to keep them safe in the sex-appropriate prisons, but don't make it women's problem. Tremaine Carroll is a good example of why we ne…

Yep, just pointing it out. It's like a completely unironic version of that joke: > Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views > > Me: Holy shit! You were censored…

What does 14 88 refer to in your username?

That site is also calling out Musk for being a Nazi-saluting fascist, which is a good thing. It's not anti-Musk to believe what he says about himself. You should re-examine why you…

"Economics" in the sense of "blathering on about nonsense opinions", yes. "Economics" in the sense of "any sort of understanding of how the world works", not so much. Drain the rot…

This is braindead capitalist propaganda. Stop filling your head with garbage. At the very least, keep it to yourself so other people don't have to smell it. Gross.
