@jessecoynelson I don't care who he is, when he is saying things that are clearly false, well, he's wrong.
And no, making a national holiday would not do anything to address voter fraud, and it certainly doesn't have anything at all to do with elections being bought.
Me? Oh I've been voting for years and never received my check. So much for that whole thing about elections being bought.
The guys just factually empty.
@KeithDevlin I believe the real accusation is about lack of attribution more than simply using others' work.
Some use of established language is natural, but the key is that it has to be properly attributed, and it's claimed that the president didn't do that.
@cjd hmmmm, is there an issue of backflow in a muffler to worry about?
What effect do you have in mind?
You stay classy, @Alphakilopapa @cpoliticditto@mas.to
@jessecoynelson Yes I intentionally chose my phrasing of sources LIKE Alex Jones 🙂
He's clearly wrong. And we know the statement is wrong because we've seen for ourselves that we vote and we exercise that regardless of anybody paying us.
So Alex and whoever he is interviewing are welcome to be wrong together, but we can easily debunk those conspiracy theories just based on our personal experiences.
@bigheadtales I just laugh about how now you're sounding like this is your defense against the outside world. You call names and make assumptions about people personally instead of actually allowing for ideas that don't confirm your biases.
No wonder you're so unaware of what's going on in the world.
No, I'm not a Republican. Yes you are wrong, but that has nothing to do with me, that has to do with your information sources that are not informing you.
@CarlataOld this setup is hilariously self-defeating.
The detected deep fakes were detectable! It's pretty circular.
@jessecoynelson and that kind of gaslighting is why nobody should ever fall for anything coming out of the likes of Alex Jones.
@bigheadtales again, I am letting you know that right now. This is me letting you know that.
I'm here by advising you of the thing that you are asking me to advise you off.
Nod.
@echoteecat Well if you give the model an exponentially larger set of coefficients to work with then you do get exponential growth without necessarily needing all that much in terms of expanded processing power.
It does take a lot more storage, which is what I hear the next versions of the AI models are aiming for.
To be clear I'm not really arguing. Yeah, it's probably going to involve more processing as well, but to me the limitations of storage for the model are pretty interesting.
@bigheadtales I'm not sure what you're trying to get at by bringing up right wing echo chambers.
That there's a gap in your knowledge has nothing to do with the echo chambers other people may live in.
@dlevenstein for further criticism, I don't think focusing on theory as problem solving is inclusive enough to really grapple with the role of the scientific method in the most fundamental science.
One could say that theorizing about string theory is trying to solve the problem of understanding that approach to reality, but I don't think that's the way most people think about a phrase like problem solving.
Maybe technically true but a strained description.
@echoteecat I believe four has already been trained.
A lot of the issue is in storage complexity not in processing.
@bigheadtales they don't just talk about it in private. From conservative radio through newspaper editorials they are quite public about it.
And their votes in Congress also put them publicly on the record acting in ways you don't sound familiar with
Yes, I understand that it sounds like your echo chambers haven't been informing you because that stuff doesn't fit the narrative, doesn't confirm the bias that the members of the chamber want confirmed.
And that's my point, that just because you're uninformed doesn't mean you're right. It just means that if you care about this stuff you should probably seek to broaden your experiences.
@nixCraft "um, unusual isotopic reactions?" :)
@dlevenstein I think this is a generally good way of talking about theory, but I do have one criticism: the focus on humans, bringing up research communities, and all of that.
It's not to say that they don't exist, but I would simply want to downplay their existence, not emphasize it, as I think one of the big values of the scientific method is countering the human factors that are, again, definitely in there and unavoidable.
Yes, the scientific enterprise is about humans solving problems identified by humans, but I would just avoid that wording and talk about the method addressing problems in the abstract.
All too often people get sidetracked about the value of science based on focusing on the human factors, so I would avoid that sort of language.
@drahardja Well right, but the realities of the environment they operate in do require some types of censorship. But not others
@drahardja Well there's a pretty significant difference between the types of content in legal liability.
I think the most pressing and fundamental problem of the day is that people lack a practically effective means of sorting out questions of fact in the larger world. We can hardly begin to discuss ways of addressing reality if we can't agree what reality even is, after all.
The institutions that have served this role in the past have dropped the ball, so the next best solution is talking to each other, particularly to those who disagree, to sort out conflicting claims.
Unfortunately, far too many actively oppose this, leaving all opposing claims untested. It's very regressive.
So that's my hobby, striving to understanding the arguments of all sides at least because it's interesting to see how mythologies are formed but also because maybe through that process we can all have our beliefs tested.
But if nothing else, social media platforms like this are chances to vent frustrations that on so many issues both sides are obviously wrong ;)
