I am aware that Lemmy has an anti-religious bent but the fact is that religious people are part of this world, some even in places of power. Shouldn't they also be informed about how LLMs are prone to bullshit as well? Though if they are OK with the word "bullshit" then it's all fine by me at the end of the day
Interestingly enough that game got improved with patches. Seems to be the norm with games these days
Being neurodivergent does that to you
There's also the assumption that men with younger children are automatically preditors. It's why dads taking their daughters outside without a mom get looks

It was indeed a rickroll...
Understandable, though we should also find ways to explain complex academic concepts, like LLM bullshit, to the general public, including those with strong religious beliefs that may be sensitive to these words. The fact that some religious philosophers already use this term without issue shows that it's possible to bridge this gap.
You make a good point about the potential for harm in all types of language, regardless of whether it's considered 'profanity' or not. I also agree that intent and impact matter more than the specific words used.
At the same time, I'm curious about how this relates to words like 'bullshit' in different social contexts. Do you think there are still situations where using 'bullshit' might be seen as more or less appropriate, even if we agree that any word can potentially cause harm?
You have a point. I did remember being told that the word "shit" was a curse word that I should always avoid. But that was in the 2000s, so that sentiment may have changed now (that was in the United States and now I've been living in Indonesia so I don't know the evolution of languages there anymore). I know that the word "queer" used to be a slur as well. Let's see if the word "bullshit" becomes normalized in society as the years go on
Educating children about LLMs for the most part. There are also religious institutions that would like to be informed about LLMs as well
Reducing people from third world countries to "language models" as an attempt to critique AI aint it
When people misinterpret The Boys and form a fandom based on their false assumptions, I'm not surprised anymore
TechCrunch: this is nightmare fuel
engadget: it's so cute :)
I get where you're coming from. Ideally, we should be able to say whatever we want whenever we want. But based on my experience as an autistic living in a country where context is very important, the way you convey words affects your standing in a society, at least one that caters to neurotypicals that are highly dependent on context. I have no easy answers to how we can eliminate this hurdle, but your words truly made me think about language usage and how society should perceive them and I would like to thank you for that.
