Weren’t they defined by major cultural events? Zoomers not remembering 9/11 for example

This is anywhere, period. You can do that with letters, you can do that with speeches, or in casual conversations.

And you’re not always wrong about it either.

If you’ve played Disco Elysium, “Welcome to Revachol”. If you haven’t, play it. It’s an amazing game

I’ve been both of these to the same person (or at least that’s how I read their response).

Turns out, autism is not a monolith. Who knew?

Fight me. Also, one of these is a function

Welp, there’s nothing to lose I think. I’m gonna give it a shot and see if it works

Oh, by “that space” I meant the space where that specific person hung out in, not AI research in general

Though I have heard a fair share of idiotic takes from actual researchers as well

I have seen AI apologists talk about how “AI” is already sentient and we shouldn’t restrict it because it’s immoral.

That straight up killed my desire to interact in that space the community with that person

🥰 😳 thank you

I mean, sure. My comment was entirely tongue in cheek. I didn’t like awards, especially those that are more than just a glorified emoji (such as those I mentioned)

But, truth be told, the wealthy can just straight up buy discussions and opinions. User farms/bots aren’t free, and neither was Twitter currently X. Nothing can hide from the cruel hand of capital. The fediverse isn’t immune to this either: it’s too small for anyone rich to buy out, but there’s very little preventing them from just buying one of the larger instances. And even without that, it still privileges those with money - hosting isn’t free.

The most we can do is to stay vigilant, I suppose. Be aware of the inherent biases in the world and refuse to engage with systems that are too strongly captured - Twitter currently X, the zuck platform, Reddit soon (probably).
