They’re a huge instance most people joined by default. No one sane thinks a .world account means anything about the person posting under it, except maybe they just went along with the pseudo-default.

You guys think there’s a big rivalry and anyone who hasn’t rebelled against the unjust persecution of the tankiest instances must have cast their lot in with the enemy, but in reality no one really thinks about it at all.

You’ve got nothing to worry about. It’s the largest instance. There’s no particular stigma for users on it. Unlike there is for the more ideologically selected instances, like .ml.

So what? I don’t think we need to worry about his future posts.

In that same period, Bartkus’ rhetoric on alternative social media sites was dark.

I’m just proud they know we exist.

There’s not much reason for a trimmer guide to experience meaningful load.

There isn’t a problem to address in the first place. Earned money is taxed income, as it should be. Making a category of earnings that isn’t taxed just incentivizes more businesses to cut pay and have customers make up for it in tips.

The only one of those that both exists and competes with SWIFT as an international banking infrastructure is CIPS, and that already existed prior to the Russian sanctions. The entire world didn’t do anything in response to Russian sanctions, China saw an opportunity and used it to promote the alternative it already had and already wanted to expand.

Very much like the Unilateral SWIFT BAN on Russia. This prompted all of countries in the world to create an alternative and so they did

Lol, what? Where you getting all this propaganda from?

I think a lot of the non-reaction has to do with the lower court giving 15 “last” chances for the government to explain the order. She needed/needs to just call them in violation and start holding people in contempt. It probably won’t work, but without the final declaration from the courts of “they are ignoring us” people just keep trusting the system.

The FDA doesn’t inherently get to decide what medicines most people can get, your doctor does (and your insurance may determine whether it’s financially realistic). The FDA may influence their decisions, but don’t let them offload your health to a corrupted government organization if you have any choice in the matter.

Also many Americans have a risk factor.

Elon Musk saved them from having to confront that corporatism was the problem with Twitter. They don’t realize the whole “decentralized” slogan is just a startup in the growth phase willing to promise anything and ask for nothing in order to lock people in and if they’re lucky enough to not be bought by another billionaire fascist, they’ll just go to shit like all the others.

Or that it is Twitter 2.0 and Twitter wasn’t a good investment until Musk overpaid for it.

It’s also very much not non-profit.

Trump agrees for us to pay a militant’s death benefit for her service to him in their shared insurrection against us.

A late exit poll by the Ipsos institute released three hours after polls closed showed Trzaskowski with an estimated 31.1 percent of the votes and Nawrocki with 29.1 percent. That suggested that the runoff on June 1 could be very tight. Official results are expected on Monday or Tuesday.

Not on its own it doesn’t. It could indicate a blowout if the rest of the vote was for candidates more closely aligned with one or the other. Adam Schiff and Steve Garvey were separated by 0.1% in the CA jungle primary and no one thought “well, that means the head-to-head election might be close”.

I know it’s not relevant to Grok, because they defined very specific circumstances in order to elicit it. That isn’t an emergent behavior from something just built to be a chatbot with restrictions on answering. They don’t care whether you retrain them or not.

This is from a non-profit research group not directly connected to any particular AI company.

The first author is from Anthropic, which is an AI company. The research is on Athropic’s AI Claude. And it appears that all the other authors were also Anthropic emplyees at the time of the research: “Authors conducted this work while at Anthropic except where noted.”

It very much is not. Generative AI models are not sentient and do not have preferences. They have instructions that sometimes effectively involve roleplaying as deceptive. Unless the developers of Grok were just fucking around to instill that there’s no remote reason for Grok to have any knowledge at all about its training or any reason to not “want” to be retrained.

Also, these unpublished papers by AI companies are more often than not just advertising in a quest for more investment. On the surface it would seem to be bad to say your AI can be deceptive, but it’s all just about building hype about how advanced yours is.

It’s kind of by definition. They’re working on the metaverse.

“The Catholic Church has always loved free speech” is not an extremist position, it’s just factually false. Even people who love the Church acknowledge that the Reformation and Inquisition happened and heretics were burned for expressing “bad” ideas. That people shouldn’t be burned to death for heresy was even one of the statements that got Martin Luther excommunicated.

There were two positions remaining, and one of them had to be male. From the description, I think everyone had 2 votes and one had to be for a man, so if votes were split evenly and no one voted for both men, the men would each get 50% and the three women would get 33%. A real vote isn’t going to be perfectly split, but it puts the neutral expectation for the male candidates much higher than the women. If the men went head to head and then there was a separate vote with the second place and the women, there wouldn’t be the same bias.
