  • Fair enough, I appreciate the explanation. I wasn't being rude either, I'm warning people about how the Kremlin and CCP use shills on social media.

    They're authoritarian governments that regularly oppress, kill, lie, suppress information, and worse. They're using the age old tactic of divide and conquer on social media because they can't compete militarily. They're here on Lemmy, especially on Hexbear, lemmygrad.ml, and Lemmy.ml.

  • Lemmy is full of anti-police propaganda and pure hatred, it's wild. So, I framed it as a hypothetical.

    I do have empathy for them, and think any well-adjusted and intelligent person should.

  • When it comes down to it, cops are the ones dealing with a lot of shit other people avoid. Like you're saying, we should consider what they have to say about it.

    Also, we should give them mental health support. It's a stressful job with abundant opportunities for trauma. Even if we have no empathy for them, it's in our best interest to provide tools and support to the people dealing with violent and mentally ill people. But that's a whole other conversation.

  • I suspect it would only take a few clicks of a mouse to get an LLM to only draw from a specified part of its data. For example, they could set parameters that make it heavily favor content from r/Quebec in it's algorithm.

  • Right, but that's all current conditions, and the field is changing quickly. Legislation, technology, and increased market efficiency will resolve some of those problems.

    I doubt many experts in the late 19th century would have predicted our current energy infrastructure, and they werent dealing with an urgent global need to reverse environmental damage.

    The cost of inaction is very high, and humanity will be forced off of fossil fuels eventually anyway. Maybe we'll use batteries for most portable electricity, but hydrogen will have a role.
