  • What would really help is a way to disable replies… (Edit: meant the notifications)

    I don’t make posts here, but I’ve hesitated posting big news articles before, because people keep making top level comments days/weeks later and they keep coming in as notifications.

    Some people on here desperately feel the need to reply back to every notification, so I’m assuming a lot of the deletes are just people who feel satisfied with the answers they already got



  • Ultimately the problem with LLM accusations is that short of a confession or doing some hardcore surveillance of the other person you can’t prove it

    Human variation.

    Ironically you would have to take the others person word on it, luckily you just said you were comfortable doing so.

    Some people are statistically insignificant, and to them lots of stuff is incredibly obvious and they’re constantly frustrated others can’t see it. They might even sink sizeable free time into explaining random shit, just to practice not losing their temper when people can’t see the obvious.

    So you might not be able to tell that was AI from a glance, but humans are pattern recognition machines and we’re not all equally good at it.

    So believe a “llm accusation” or not, but some people absolutely can pick out a chatbot response, especially when taking the two seconds to glance at typical comments from a user profile.

    Jump from 1-2 sentence comments to a stereotypical AI response…

    Well, again, not everyone is as good at picking out patterns quickly.

    To some what took me literally under 10 seconds and two clicks counts as “hardcore surveillance” because it would take them a long time to figure it out.

    Don’t assume everyone else is exactly like you.



  • Stop burning the planet down to generate social media comments

    I mean, I thought it would be obvious my issue was with using AI to do so…

    Even if it had been a serious question.

    But, to be fair I was thinking of what a normal.person would be able to parse, and not people who’s critical thinking had already atrophied from offloading to AI.

    They probably don’t have any idea what I meant and would need it explicitly spelled out.










  • Those stats never tell the whole story.

    Lots of cops just won’t take reports, and lots of victims won’t even try to report.

    Especially these days when ICE camps out at court houses and police stations and just grabs anyone who’s not white.

    2025 numbers won’t be out for months, but now more than ever they’re not gonna tell the whole story.

    Like, to be optimistic let’s say an area increases the populations trust of the police, the numbers would show crime skyrocketing, because the percent of reported crime goes up even if actual crime goes down.





  • This is why I hate the oversimplification of language and distilling everything into buzzwords.

    Sure, it’s easier to have shorthand for the people who know what they’re talking about. But eventually people only learn the shorthand and the context it’s used in.

    It’s exactly like trump screaming

    Puppet! You’re the puppet!

    He didn’t know why people kept calling him a puppet, just that it was bad so he called them that back.

    Not to mention the huge PR gain from having to call “ecoterrorists” what they really are “people who put the environment over capitalism”.
