this is a super-reach, why don't we deal with AI indistinguishable from human when it happens.

right now what we have is a language model that is very distinguishable from human so it doesn't get any human considerations.

if a monkey or chicken created an artwork, it doesn't have copyrights, because it's not human either.

LLM are not human, the process to train LLM is not human-like, LLM don't have human needs or desires, or rights for that matter.

comparing it to humans has been a flawed analogy since day 1.

yeah...like that story with the Nazi bar

(transcribed from a series of tweets) - @iamragesparkle

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

And the dude next to me says, "hey i'm not doing anything, i'm a paying customer." and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, "out. now." and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, "you didn't see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them."

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, 'oh damn.' and he said "yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people."

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven't forgotten that at all.

for some stuff absolutely, styling frameworks like bootstrap and others kludged together the concept of grid based designs. css grid just makes it official and more flexible.

mdn goes into it more and it's way more involved than I thought, looks like order of operand doesn't matter. see the number to string section

2 equal signs will coerce the second operand into the type of first operand then do a comparison of it can. so 1 == "1" is true. this leads to strange bugs.

3 equal signs do not do implicit type conversion, cuts down on weird bugs. 1==="1" is false.

edit: it appears to be more complicated than that for double equals and the position of operands don't matter. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Equality

bro we're on css grid now

ikr...feels like I'm taking crazy pills here. this is federation at work.

so a malicious instance/user that post child porn should just be able to infect as many instances as they want?

I mean you won't, they way it's going to shake out is instances with similar values form nation-states and cut ties with other nation-states they dont agree with

well probably see the emergence of meta-alliances soon that dictate the degree of separation of a blacklisted instance.

i miss 6 torb games, ow was good when quick play was just goofy

I mean, you can try to have them repair your microwave

wat, that has got to be costing them a ton in opportunity cost?

sure, once you look past the insane wealth inequalities and transient tech workers it's mighty beautiful.

yeah he's a free speech absolutist

the subreddits do not really work like that. subreddits with same or similar themes pop up all the time but there is an element of randomness and passionate moderation that makes people flock to a particular one, which gains critical mass and become self sustaining.

starting a subreddit as a paying employee would be a process of repeated trial and error until something sticks.

promoting a mod to an employee introduces a profit motive that very easily ruin a subreddit.

taking over a subreddit causes immediate exodus.

the best content comes from organic discussion and careful moderation that guides the direction of the community. I don't think they can control the narrative of subreddit that have openly rebelled but I guess we'll see.

wanna elaborate on that?

they cause very little suffering. the systemic factory farming of animals and the deforestation in the process of meat production causes unimaginable collective suffering.

you don't care about veganism because you are willfully ignorant.

I miss advice dog 😞
