I have many conversations with people about Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Copilot. The idea that "it makes convincing sentences, but it doesn't know what it's talking about" is a difficult concept to convey or wrap your head around. Because the sentences are so convincing....
I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I'm accidentally disparaging when I don't mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I'll start:...
Pennsylvania is a weird state because we have half the population in cities, Philly and Pittsburgh are the big ones, but we've got quite a few smaller cities peppered throughout. The other half live in the middle of nowhere, Amish country and farmers for miles.
The rural is deep red. I can see a Confederate flag from my porch. We can't even claim that as "our heritage" or whatever bullshit the South says to justify it.
Feel free to disparage my area, it's pretty disgusting.
No argument from me on the beauty of the countryside. I had moved to Cleveland for a few years, and came back to hillbilly Town because it was worth having a crick for my kids to play in. That's not a typo, my PA folks get it.
I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....
That's a big part of it. I don't hate conservatives.
They are actively trying to make the world worse, so I'm not going to be sad if/when the ideology disappears, but as a whole, they aren't bad people. They are my family and coworkers. They are decent people who have been taught to fear the enemy.
I don't hate them, I pity them.
Although, I might also be a little jealous of their ignorance fueled bliss.
Yeah, you aren't wrong. There's definitely a greater than average amount of assholes and shitheads in that group. You don't become the party of racism without any racist members.
I'll call the assholes out for being assholes, but I won't assume that someone's evil because they vote GOP. I'll assume that they are fragile and ignorant, of course, but they need to go a bit further for me to call an individual an evil person.
For some reason began going down a rabbit hole thinking about this. Let's say you are blind, and reliant on a guide dog, but end up in prison for a non-violent crime like possession of illegal drugs. Are you allowed to keep the dog? No, right? But if you are entirely reliant on the guide dog to perform daily tasks, how do you...
Then you DON'T get it. That's the whole point. We're trying to help you get it.
Nobody needs to listen to "What about the men?", because we've all been hearing that for thousands of years. That point has been made and understood, and it's the WRONG POINT TO MAKE.
Let's switch topics, tell us about how taxing billionaires makes them sad. It'll go over just as well as the other points you've been making.
It bugs me when people say "the thing is is that" (if you listen for it, you'll start hearing it... or maybe that's something that people only do in my area.) ("What the thing is is that..." is fine. But "the thing is is that..." bugs me.)...
I remember that shit. Most of them thought that Facebook "going public" meant that everyone could publish their Minions memes without permission. 🤦🏻♂️
Because it's stupid and pointless, and I will assume that anyone who adds it to their comments is as well.
To clarify, I'm not anti-open source license. I'm also not anti-tin foil hats. Please feel free to wear them if you want. I completely support your right to do so, but it's also my right to judge you and laugh behind your back.
Sorry, I was actually trying to be as polite as possible, and despite what you might think, I don't care. At all. Not enough to downvote your comments, nor enough to comment about it in another unrelated conversation.
You asked a question and I thought you honestly wanted an answer as to why you got so much hate for it.
I like to use emojis. Some people don't respect that, and they have every right to think less of me because of it. It doesn't mean that I'm anything that they think I am, and I can choose whether or not I care about what they think. I can stop using emojis to appease them, or I can 🤷🏻♂️🖕🏻😂.
I recently saw 'Don't Look Now' (1973). Good picture, a little slow perhaps by today's standards but worthy of any movie enjoyer's time! So this movie was shot in Venice. Venice itself being an already beautiful spot to film even today. The way we get to look in a time capsule of Venice in the 70s makes the movie that much...
But it said that 98% of people will get this wrong! I have to prove to my Facebook friends that I'm smarter than them and the rules of math keep ruining it for me!!!!
I this a firm and polite way to tell an opinionated coworker to stop pushing his agenda I don't care about?
