Welp, there’s nothing to lose I think. I’m gonna give it a shot and see if it works

Oh, by “that space” I meant the space where that specific person hung out in, not AI research in general

Though I have heard a fair share of idiotic takes from actual researchers as well

I have seen AI apologists talk about how “AI” is already sentient and we shouldn’t restrict it because it’s immoral.

That straight up killed my desire to interact in that space

🥰 😳 thank you

I mean, sure. My comment was entirely tongue in cheek. I didn’t like awards, especially those that are more than just a glorified emoji (such as those I mentioned)

But, truth be told, the wealthy can just straight up buy discussions and opinions. User farms/bots aren’t free, and neither was Twitter currently X. Nothing can hide from the cruel hand of capital. The fediverse isn’t immune to this either: it’s too small for anyone rich to buy out, but there’s very little preventing them from just buying one of the larger instances. And even without that, it still privileges those with money - hosting isn’t free.

The most we can do is to stay vigilant, I suppose. Be aware of the inherent biases in the world and refuse to engage with systems that are too strongly captured - Twitter currently X, the zuck platform, Reddit soon (probably).

Didn’t a lot of traditions start this way? First they solved some problem, then they forgot the problem existed and continued to apply the solution

But it doesn’t make your comment glow/move around/whatever the fuck awards did

I just wanted to use the bot in good faith (me having more money is good) to understand how a process works (the process of me receiving money) :3

Even earlier, the original r/195 was left leaning.

Examples from top of all time:
Pro-socialist mockery of liberals
Cop hatred
Queerposting
Transposting before it was cool
Anti-capitalism

There was a lot more of this. Though nowadays, especially after the disaster, r/196 has lost its leftist edge. There aren’t as many posts about world events as there used to be. Or about the people.

I didn’t notice that it was the patient’s friend’s cocktail and got a solid dose of “what the fuck maple leaf country” before I noticed

The age old question of do the traps be, in fact, gay

To which the answer is that there is no gay, no straight, nothing makes any fucking sense, everyone is bisexual (or asexual) but also there is no bisexuality (or asexuality)
