Is the actual letter posted anywhere? Seems weird to not have a picture of it or something in the article

Lmao imagine getting grifted by the griftiest grifting grifter alive and then calling them stupid. Not that trump isn't, but the supporters gotta be on a different level

I love the idea that someone could be a socialist and then realize "the far left" is the most dangerous thing ever. So they better become a white nationalist? I quit reading it pretty early, but it sounded like that was the path

I think it's mostly people with existing symptoms that get exacerbated by an affirming chat bot that they believe is real AI. So when it says "yeah, there are people behind the curtains watching you" or whatnot they believe it even harder. I imagine it's very easy to slip into psychosis if you're prone to it and have supernatural beliefs in general, but LLMs would absolutely reinforce all kinds of ideas.

I'm not so sure it's nasty so much as a natural consequence of the way LLMs are tuned to be agreeable and the same people who believe q anon think it's the real deal AI so of course they just run with it when it agrees a lot.

I guess it could be nefarious still, but idk it just seems like people are feeding the LLM nonsense and getting it back?

Are you telling me the people accusing others of antisemitism are spreading antisemitic conspiracies?

What are they even trying to say? David Duke? The KKK grand wizard?

What you don't want a multiparty totilitarian dictatorship??

The country has a mixed far-right and far-left government, taking inspiration from multiple idealogies including National Bolshevism, Strasserism, and Fascism. It is a multiple-party totilitarian dictatorship, with 10 state-approved parties running elections the year the previous leader dies.

Wait did you actually ask him or did he just say it?

Ask him to say free palestine

 

Recently I've had some frustrating conversations with people. Someone said Oregon is "deeply red", which sounds like an absolutely unhinged thing to say when you consider all branches of government in OR are controlled by Dems.

I'm sure I was rude to the person, but I tried to explain how ridiculous that is. If Oregon is deeply red then what is Alabama? Just because the rural areas are conservative? I spent way too long on this one.

Anyway how do you handle this kind of nonsense in the world? I usually just say what I'm thinking to people these days, but more and more it's feeling like I should just stfu and let people believe whatever

 

I've looked at a few lists here and there, but it seems like there just aren't many co-ops that recruit strangers online. Anyone have any experience working for a co-op as a dev? It seems like it would be an awesome way to structure a small web/app dev team. Part of me wants to try to start one myself, but it's hard to imagine maintaining the motivation needed for a task like that when I can barely function as it is.

Anyway, what's up with the lack of cooperatives? Sorry if this is the wrong comm, seemed like the best place
