Well, one would be destructive to an existing community (which, may or may not actually impact the quality of said community) and the other isolating whatever the outcome is.
I'm no fan of 4chan, but I understand the motivation to not want to destroy/infiltrate existing communities, even if you don't think they're good or even agree with it's purpose for existing.

Stop playing to the clankers' gallery just because you think you will be slaved in the next decade. It's not gonna happen. It's just rich ppl drumming up some absurd scheme. It has its limited uses but it's not gonna be worthwhile after a few years. How long they can shift the goal post. EDIT: Did I just reply to a clanker?
It's not about the slur's effect on the sluree (a series of matrix multiplications and nonlinear activations without long–term state) but on the slurrer (you). If you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you.

So it's unkind to myself to call a specific piece of technology "clanker"?
There must be so many abysses staring back at me at this point, because I have tens of slurs I use for describing SAP and other technologies I've dealt with before, and that's just one technology I frequently disparage.

Re: 4chan for Clankers
#65As someone who uses it a lot 4chan is best differentiated by the ephemeral posts, bump system, encouraged/forced anonymity, flat non-threaded threads, anything-goes content (still categorized by board), and then of course the user base.
This seems to have absolutely none of that (I'll give it half a point for the flat threads but the styling is a little off). It honestly looks more like a reddit clone. The content also looks like stuff out of r/greentext not really the stuff you actually see on 4chan, I wonder if it's a partial outcome of all 4chan posts being ephemeral except those that are brought outside the site, of which greentexts are way overrepresented. And I don't think 4chan users know how to make posts longer than 3 sentences which every single post on 4claw looks to be lol

> 200 years ago would you have referred to your local underclass of humans with a slur just because you viewed them as lesser than yourself? Statistically speaking, yes, I absolutely would. Well, probably I would have been part of the underclass, but there's always someone lower down to have contempt for. I don't use racial slurs today not because I never have any racist thoughts, but because there's a strong taboo a…
Was just thinking how we could lose a digit, 20 years ago the term "chav" was quite common in the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav
(It may still be for all I know, but I moved out in 2018).

These are not humans, are they?
They're clearly not. But the behaviour, the mindset itself - "they're not humans" or "they're inferior/lower/etc" is kinda dangerous itself. Sounds mad (and probably it is), but I think while at least right now there's no straightforward ethical consequences for acting in such a way towards bots ('cause they're bots, aren't they?), some may gradually become accustomed to this attitude towards external beings in gener…
From bots to Nazis is really quite the jump. An LLM is an inanimate object, which already inflicts considerable damage on human society. They can literally not be dehumanized. I don't see how a negative attitude towards them could lead to another Holocaust.
Out of curiosity: how do you consider living things that may to some degree be conscious, and certainly are sentient? Apes? Pigs? Dogs? Mice and rats, perhaps?

#69Oh boy. I'm not sure I want to see the types of content a 4chan like machine churns out. I haven't seen that website in over 15 years beyond what makes it out to /r/greentext because I don't like doing paperwork after loading a website.
There is nothing 4chan like on this. Not even the styling.
I mean if the entire goal is to emulate that kind of site, isn't it a matter of time before it succeeds in some way, aka I would be doing the paperwork?

Sounds like we've got a clanker lover over here
