any time you’re wondering why right wing messaging seems more coordinated, it’s because right wing billionaires spend money to coordinate it. that’s it. it’s paid speech

utopianism shouldn't be thought of as a world without problems, but as a world where people handle problems in a way that is healthy and beneficial to all, in a real material sense

“Maybe, with this new tool, workers will be free to slow down and not be overworked so much. Maybe now things will be less broken as a result.” — Somebody who is a small baby born five hours ago and doesn’t know anything about capitalism

Any advancement in productivity will be overwhelmed and subsumed by capitalist demand for overwork

The only reason there's still a critical mass at Twitter is because everyone knows that's where the journalists hang out and write stories from. Get the journalists out, and Twitter stops being a thing.

"should I assume this new accusation from right-wingers is also projection?"YES.It's what they're either doing already, or plan to do next. Prepare accordingly.

Chatbots cannot lie, actually, and they also cannot tell the truth. They just generate text. That's it. They aren't talking to you. They aren't exchanging ideas. They have no concept of anything. They're pulling words out of a hat. Saying they do anything more is anthropomorphizing and everybody keeps doing it

“But I can SEE the motion in this optical illusion so there must be motion! Isn’t all reality just perception though?”That’s how you sound. You are silly. Perceive the lack of cars on a busy street and go for a walk. If that sounds harsh, then you don’t actually believe what you are arguing.

You have been fooled by a magic trick, and you really want to believe the magic is real. You aren’t the first person to take that stance; you won’t be the last. You will, however, always look foolish in hindsight.

And if you insist I must offer stronger “proof” or a better counterargument, congrats, you’ve entered the territory of Russell’s Teapot. Again, not the first, not the last.

The only reasonable argumentative response to my original post is that “pulling words out of a hat” is *also* anthropomorphization. Nobody caught that, though, because cognitive bias is stronger than humans are. It’s fun.

Big deal, seriously "The Minnesota Legislature just completed what is probably the most productive session anywhere in the country since probably the New Deal," he said.

Text generator #ChatGPT confidently over-explains its tic-tac-toe strategy, loses every single game.People should be asking: Are you relying on text-generating #AI to make important decisions? Why in the world would you do something stupid like that? https://www.aiweirdness.com/optimum-tic-tac-toe/

"why does every social media site turn to shit"social media functions like infrastructure. any infrastructure owned and operated by the private sector inevitably crumbles. long-term stability is expensive and boring. the public sector exists for a reason
