And it’s easy to figure out why or at least I believe it is.

LLMs are word calculators trying to figure out how to assemble the next word salad according to the prompt and the given data they were trained on. And that’s the thing. Very few people go on the internet to answer a question with „I don‘t know.“ (Unless you look at Amazon Q&A sections)

My guess is they act all knowingly because of how interactions work on the internet. Plus they can‘t tell fact from fiction to begin with and would just randomly say they don‘t know if you tried to train them on that I guess.

And China a surveillance state. This was a given.

Sieh dir mal an, wo die Deutschen momentan die Lösung auf unsere Probleme sehen. Wir sind einfach komplett lost als Gesellschaft.

The overlap between climate crisis deniers and preppers is so large it‘s truly baffling. If you ask me most of them are just hobbyists who act a little too seriously about their little passion. It‘s a lot of make believe and very little obtaining practical skills.

Is that the same for all countries though or are you talking about a specific place where that‘s the case? I don‘t know much about the subject but this reads like one of those US specific fun facts that the rest of us can‘t really make use of.

Alright. I think I’ve had enough Lemmy for today. Don‘t wanna get too depressed before lunch.

To sadly no surprise to anyone who vaguely follows Austrian politics. Germany is troubled for sure but our southern neighbors are beyond help. I‘ve seen more and more criticism for Germany‘s guilt culture but Austria is what happens if you don‘t reflect on your 3rd Reich past at all.

It still gives me a little confident boost when I think about how liberal friends and family admitted that I was right about him the entire time.

The signs where there but people weren’t looking. Even when you explained it to them. It took at least a dozen of major missteps and blunders by him to finally make most people realize what he really is.

They kept telling themselves (and me) his good deeds will outweigh the bad ones when in reality those where cracks in the facade to show what lies underneath. They couldn‘t see the bright red flags for what they are because they thought it‘s about a balance between good and bad, not character qualities that can only lead down one road.

You’re wrong about one thing: He didn‘t go crazy. He always was.

Perhaps a bit off topic but I miss when Black Mirror had pigs in it and wasn‘t just all about „we are so fucked, like soooo fucked you guys“. In hindsight rest of the series could never really live up to the pilot where politicians got eaten alive by the mob.

And there is really no reason to trust it whatsoever. It might feel secluded but in the end of the day, even your „private“ chats are essentially an open forum thread in the technical and legal sense because Discord is basically that: A huge, public forum where everything you say is a public statement. There is no privacy on Discord because that‘s simply not what it‘s for.

RFK is a dangerous lunatic. The only things he would use that data for that I can think of are inhumane „experiments“ on no scientific basis and mass sterilizations. This is bad. This is very very bad.

Wenn das so ist, ist das eine ziemliche Klatsche für die Mittelschicht, aber ein Eigentümerverband und die BILD sind jetzt auch nicht die vertrauenswürdigsten Quellen für jemanden wie mich. Ich bin da nicht sehr tief in der Materie.

Amen to that. Decoupling was all the rage mere months ago and now some people act like China is some sort of savior. That couldn‘t be further from the truth as they have already proven to be unreliable and at times unpredictable.

As far as I know „made in Europe“ where it‘s feasible long term and divertifying other supply chains was the goal and I don‘t see how anything that‘s happening right now would give reason to change course. It will take a little longer, but that‘s no reason to throw the towel.

Interesting political maneuver since the EU already is on track of decoupling from China. It‘s important we do it on our own terms so I‘m not against this. That being said the thumbnail seems very misleading or at least I hope so.

It‘s what this headline wants you to feel but it doesn‘t mean that much if you actually think about it for a moment.

About a election in 4 years? Not really. At least not yet. This isn‘t news worthy in my opinion because it doesn‘t tell you anything about what the country will look like in 4 years.

For what‘s worth it doesn‘t actually matter what potential voters would vote for each and every week when the next election is almost 4 years away. If anything, bold headlines like these only act as a self fulfilling prophecy and are blatant populism. Even a good government can‘t be super popular every single week and the sooner people realize that, the better for democracy. Though I won‘t hold my breath.

They shocked the world with GPT 3 and cling to that initial success ever since with increasing recklessness and declining results. It‘s all glue on pizza from here.

Trying to have a conversation with the Trump administration is like trying to talk about politics, economics, the weather or whatnot with a conservative at the dinner table right now. It’s just not worth the effort because they do not listen. Ever.

What are you talking about? The USA is quite literally the biggest producer and exporter of agricultural goods in the world and don‘t even get me started on patents and digital services. They are by far the richest country on earth. The only thing China has going for it here is recklessness towards their own people because believe it or not, there are worse places to be than the USA right now. Hard to comprehend, but sadly true.
