@Hyolobrika to some level, yes. But defamation is much simpler, since it has a direct target and can be easily proven wrong.

@Hyolobrika and critical thinking 1) is rare and pretty much impossible to "teach" most of society in current cultures and 2) doesn't even work that well for people trained in it, our monkey brains are too susceptible to biases.

@Hyolobrika absolutely. People will not only instantly believe defamatory lies that confirm their current opinion, suspicion or general worldview, but will also resist any attempts to refute them. A threat of severe consequences and a requirement for official retractions are the only way to keep them at a sane level.

@tauon@possum.city The Minecraft movie should instead just be an extented version of whatever this is and I would actually want to watch it I think.

@tauon fans would be too embarassed to release something like that, this can only be achieved via a complete lack of a soul.

Normalize not having an opinion on things you don’t understand.

You're allowed to say, “I don't know enough about this to have an opinion on it.”

I got asked over on Tumblr to explain how EPROMs work/are used, so I ended up explaining the whole basic timeline of mask ROMs to flash memory, in an attempted accessible-to-non-techie fashion. It's here if you'd like to read it or fact check me:

@nixCraft yes, I'm sure OpenAI would be treated the same if it just allowed people to download its training material for free, these cases are exactly the same.
