didn’t know i was getting tag teamed, you understand. (or you can choose not to i guess)
jesus christ you’re going to make this entire thread this exact type of tedious nonsense aren’t you? time for you to fuck off out of this thread. TechTakes isn’t the place for you and your friends to salivate over a supposedly less shitty LLM or repost horseshit from e/a Twitter
that seems about right, and “this anti-cult information source isn’t actually anti-cult, it’s a competing cult you should avoid” is a pretty common form it can take. it’s very convenient for the cultists, because it defuses criticism without engaging with it, by keeping all thought within the framework of the cult. the idea that we all organically stumbled upon Rationalist ideas (or were exposed to them through our friends or industry) and wholesale rejected them, must be eliminated as a possibility. we must have an ulterior motive that can’t be summed up as “hahaha holy shit look at these assholes” — or else the cult has to accept that a lot of people legitimately hold the idea that Rationalists and Zizians and all of Yud’s other ideological children are in fact fucking assholes.
“the companies declared that they do not operate in Italy and that European legislation does not apply to them.”
ah, the “you can’t prove I touched you with the shit-covered stick” defense that all the AI and social media companies pivoted to when they decided it was easier to break European law than comply with any amount of consumer protection legislation
if I wanted to cheat the downvote count I’d just modify our instance’s database. our view of votes is different and neither our posters nor our instance really give a fuck which posts random federated weirdos like or don’t like
feel free to report me to me though
