  • This is a legitimate use case for LLM, though.

    Not everyone can communicate clearly. Not everyone can summarize well. So the panel on the right is great for the people on the other end, who must read your poorly-communicated thoughts.

    At the same time, some things must look like you put careful thought and time into your words. Hence, the panel on the left.

    And if people on both sides are using the tool to do this, who's really hurt by that?

  • Bro I wasn't looking for a technical explanation. I know how they work. We made computers worse. The thing isn't even smart enough to say "I wasn't designed to do math problems, perhaps we should focus on something where I can make up a bunch of research papers out of thin air?"

  • The person who made this is either a troll or a fascist, and to me it doesn't really matter which. Poisoning the meanings of words and theories is an old, old fascist trick and that's all that's happening here.

  • OK, the Paradox of Tolerance is a Karl Popper social theory about how society should feel about its subgroups, and made recently famous again in a comic, although I don't think the comic context is relevant to this meme.

    The basic idea is that if we tolerate absolutely every subgroup, then we are logically also tolerating the existence of fascists and other types of subgroups that want or promote intolerance. If one of these groups (let's say, Nazis) is tolerated by society, it may gain control--indeed, to Popper, this is inevitable--and society becomes intolerant again. So paradoxically, tolerating everything led to the collapse of tolerance itself.

    His remedy is that we must not tolerate the intolerant, we must extinguish groups like that through various means. To be clear, Popper is NOT saying we must kill or commit violence against the members of those groups, just that we must make sure the group structure itself is dismantled as it's being built in every case. And here we get to the rather terrible point being made by the meme. "Minorities", as the meme puts it, would be the Nazi group from the earlier example, because their viewpoint is a minority. And Popper isn't promoting violence against them, unless you consider the enforcement of laws to be inherently violent. (A valid point of view, but very far from what the meme is suggesting.)

  • Not even inbreeding, strictly speaking, when you go back that far. At 12 generations back you've got lots of ancestors with common ancestors, but they aren't so closely related that conceiving a child between them would be incest. Doesn't have to be siblings; very distant cousins would also reduce the number of total ancestors. They need not even have known their relation to one another.

  • I think it's fair to include jizz blown into your 12 generations of grandmas prior to your conception, though, because that cum was necessary to eventually lead to you being born. Scientifically speaking I think we're talking about all the man mayo that went into your grandma's hoochie coochie prior to your conception, but excluding any baby batter that went into the making of your previous older sibling. So we're only counting the clam sauce that led directly to you, not any of your siblings or any other combination of parents.

  • This is clever strategy. AMPTP wants the strike to drag on. They've said they're going to continue until people start losing their homes. Now, whether this is bluster* or not, they're going to be in a really hard place if the only people making entertainment are independents, who are suddenly going to become the power brokers. And they'll stay that way, too. If some indie studio manages to make a hit when nobody else could make a soda commercial, they'll be revered even after the strike ends. AMPTP doesn't want that, so this puts pressure on them to cave quickly.

    *It is. It's so easy to punch greedy fucks in the wallet and watch them fold.
