  • There is way too much money on the side of spreading disinformation to know much of what is true. The Groyper angle is possible, but the evidence is thin at best. It doesn’t take much for people to ignore the scarcity of evidence if the story sounds better to them.

    I just meant that online groups contains all kinds of people, and there is no reason to believe that that particular group is free of radical or violent individuals.





  • All of them?

    That seems like something that you cannot possibly know.

    Anecdotally, you saw some “fat white kids” crying, that’s not evidence of anybody’s behavior but their own.

    I agree that we don’t know if he is a groyper, but implying that the group isn’t capable of containing of containing violent individuals is a very naive viewpoint.








  • “It”? Are you conflating the low parameter model that Google uses to generate quick answers with every AI model?

    Yes, Google’s quick answer product is largely useless. This is because it’s a cheap model. Google serves billions of searches per day and isn’t going to be paying premium prices to use high parameter models.

    You get what you pay for, and nobody pays for Google so their product produces the cheapest possible results and, unsurprisingly, cheap AI models are more prone to error.






  • It isn’t unique, it provides text, voice and video chatting. These are not new services to the world of technology.

    What makes Discord stand apart is that they require that your chats, calls and streams are not private and, in exchange for people giving up their private data the users only have to install one piece of software instead of two. It is like a company giving people a ‘free’ phone as long as they or their advertisers can listen into the calls, read the texts and look at the videos on the phone.

    The only thing that Discord does is to package the software in such a way that you can’t access it until you give them information about you and then they gate features behind you identifying yourself with a credit card and a phone number.
