There is AI detection software. But maybe it would be expensive to run on every post. You could have a popularity threshold for it to run. No AI text can ever get popular, so there is less incentive to try.

But nuisance AI posts could still happen. Let’s be real. They will.

Maybe we need some kind of bot that labels bots. Then people can upvote and down vote as they please.

gvid.tv has a downvote button. And it actually does something useful.

They are getting you used to taking emergency shots.

If you are using Google AI, then an advertizing company is starting to know you way way too much.

Gemini feels 1000x more personalized from old conversations than any other AI. That isn’t going to stay in just that chat window.

I know, let’s fix cancel culture with more cancel culture.

Because it’s targeting politics in general. It’s also targeting libertarians. People whose crime is leaving you alone.

Arch is one of the most vanilla of Linuxes. Everyone wanted to run an opinionated distro. But what we needed was the opinions of developers and fewer opinions from people who think creating a distro is a sensible way to distribute art.

Arch - every package is just the software the original developer shipped, kept up to date.

“I have art work I want to share. I know. I’ll make myself responsible for the reliability of a thousand people’s operating systems. I hope my cooky ideas never come into conflict with that.” <- Not who you want indirectly changing files on your system when you use the package manager.

On my forum, youtube links get stripped of any extra url parameters. Every site should have to do that.

Was it a loud environment or was she just a soft talker? I’m pretty sure there is a Seinfeld episode on this. In fact, it’s the pirate shirt episode.

Just be glad you didn’t say yes.

I blame low interest rates.

Speculating on someone who themselves are speculating that their customer’s speculation will be fruitful is exactly what low interest rates encourage. Everyone likes the extra activity that produces on the macros, but it just makes the market less accurate.

Interest rates basically set how permissive the market is with its todo list. The problem is when you let yourself do anything, and then also let yourself get distracted doing something that might help something that you maybe shuldn’t be doing anyway. This is not a functional life. It’s a busy life, but not functional.

If you want to kill AI, raise the interest rates. It will cause a recession, which sucks. But frankly, humanity will survive a recession and it will be temporary. A higher interest rate market solves real problems that benefit actual people within a near horizon. What we don’t need is people working 14 hour days, slaving to keep their heads above water, working for companies engaged in far-off speculative race for world dominance; we wouldn’t want them to succeed at anyway. That’s 100% what we’re all doing, and it is interest rates that modulate that.

Raising interest rates will kill all of those jobs involved in that, and sadly a few more from the shock. But those people weren’t doing anything productive for humanity anyway. It’s better to have them lose those jobs and then later redirect their labor towards something productive. In the long term they are digging themselves out of having a job with their current path anyway.

It’s just that one spot. There’s a hint in this thread. https://submatrix.net/c/Economics/BP536RZXit

Are you making a 109 reference?

Yes.

Do the oceans turn into regular milk or salty milk?

That is your speculation. But he has to do worse than your speculation, isn’t there a kind of infinite recursion there?

Almost all politicians are. And Epstein wasn’t the only operator. Today’s politicians act like they are, and Epstine’s operation was too far in the past for most of them.

Blackmail mills blackmail a lot people. If you had political finance money, would you finance the campaign of someone who says they are aligned with you, or someone you know will stay aligned with you? Power isn’t given to un-blackmailed people. And people who want power know this. So there is a long list of people willing to get blackmailed to get into power. They may even enjoy the part that gets them blackmailed.

Obviously, the man you imagine pointing a gun at you to get work done.

They didn’t teach you this motivational device in school? Clearly, you went to a public school.

Woah man. That’s what conspiracy theorists argue.

And yet when people tried to point this out earlier, they were called conspiracy theorists. There are false conspiracy theories and true conspiracy theories. That’s just how theories work. The ones that espouse true theories are then denigrated for seeing things faster than you.

This is why labeling something a conspiracy theory is not a useful way to dismiss an idea. The dismissal is only right half the time. And the other half you are missing something important, or refusing to believe something without looking into it. Instead, more correct is to critically assess what is true and false and not what is a conspiracy theory and not a conspiracy theory. It’s more work but it’s also more correct.

Who prefers the term “conspiracy theory” to be a shortcut for claiming an idea is false? A: People involved in actual conspiracies.

Also, people who use that pattern to claim something is false just generally struggle with English. Conspiracy != Conspiracy theory != False. But a common trope of a useful idiot is to claim something is false because it’s just a conspiracy. And a shocking number of people take that argument seriously. Despite the fact that this person can hardly differencial aspects in the English language, much less develop useful anticipation of how the powerful will strategize, or worse, comprehensively determine without evidence what is not possible there.

If you discuss an idea of what powerful people will do, you are technically engaging with conspiracy theory. And we can’t be having any of that!

Hundreds!
