I was actually agreeing with your point, just to be clear.
it can also be about lying, twisting the truth and getting people to agree to terrible things because the way you deliver it is charismatic or distracts sufficiently from the material reality.
This Norm Macdonald bit is a great example of this type of crowd work.
I think @TingoTenga@lemmy.world is positing the idea that perhaps this was an intentional disclosure. A type of trial balloon, if you will.
knows that though the audience may not be able to put into words why something feels inauthentic the moment it becomes so they notice.
This is also why forum disruptors do things like forum sliding, consensus cracking, topic dilution and so on to distract from the fact that their positions are ingenuine.

LLMs are not good at these techniques, though, it still takes a human touch for it to work.
I think the biggest difference is that it has just streamlined and made Persona Management Software more effective.
That's a fair cop, but historically the Nazis of yesteryear were actually a lot more disorganized and stupid than we give them credit for, too. I mean, the entire "Master Race" thing is rooted in a deep misunderstanding about how genetics and evolution works on a functional level. Like, it's literally a stupid position to have if you understand actual genetics. They were very stupid in other areas as well.
So, while I understand the hesitance to take it as gospel (heh) I think that history shows us it's quite likely that they really are just this stupid. Chaos is a ladder and all that.
I mean, the article is pretty long, but it's pretty simple:
Don't use AI of any sort to be a source for an answer to your question.
Do use Wikipedia and check the sources referenced.
If not on Wikipedia, check a trusted source with a relatively long publishing history and known ownership. (this doesn't mean only stuff like The New York Times... Boing Boing for example has been around for a long, long time)
Use archive.org's Wayback Machine to get access to older articles, when necessary.
LLMs literally have to frame of reference to real life except the text they've ingested and they have no way to know which text is true or not. To an LLM, Alex Jones is just as valid a source as Mother Jones.
I guess I'm glad my parents took me in the late 80's/early 90's when you were still allowed to climb it.
I keep meaning to get my mom to dig out the photos we took from the top.
Roet said that “there should be a death sentence” for teenagers for “holding a gun” or a “grenade”. He provided no evidence of children carrying weapons in Gaza.
Hmmmm, I swear I've heard this somewhere before....
Oh yeah it was the Bush administration defining "Enemy Combatant" as any "adult male." As in "they looked adult enough to me," which when you contrast with evidence that young black men are viewed as older and less innocent to white Americans leaves one going "Ah, so any boy aged 14 and up, really." Because young men from Afghanistan and Iraq are surely brown enough to elicit the same feelings in the invading (mostly white) forces.
Worse, as evidenced in Collateral Murder, most of these decisions were being made from up-above and far-away either from attack planes and helicopters or drones. This meant if you were a young man who "looked" the right age from a blurry camera a half mile away and you were carrying something that "looked like" a weapon, they could rain hellfire down upon you with no consequences.

Oh you mean Match Group?
It's AshleyMadison all over again, shocker.
Copyright law needs to be fixed, and not in favor of these corporations, but in favor of artists.
Wanting copyright law to be fixed does not mean wanting it go away entirely for the sake of bullshit like LLMs.
Check out the research of Rufus Pollock who did a bunch of complex math to show ideal copyright length should be 15 years.

If the admins of the Pirate Bay got put in prison for far less piracy and far less profit from piracy... the same ought to happen to Sam Altman et. al.
In Matrix they're called Rooms if I recall correctly. Not every instance is very good about breaking it up into smaller groups, but some of them are very good at it.
No problem at all, it happens to us all sometimes!
