Hell yeah. Suffer more, bitch. That gave me a great start to the morning, seeing that. I hope he has a heart attack. Or a full blown stroke. Maybe a grand mal seizure. Stress is really bad for your body, especially at a high level for extended time. I hope that’s the only state he gets to experience for the rest of his miserable existence.

The way you’re quoting this implies sarcasm or derision. Okay then, we should do nothing? The ecosystem is a wreck, yes, and acting our entire species took part is disingenuous at best.

Ah fuck it, I’ll take one Login with Caution please.

no racism

white af family is the only visible race

Yeahhhh no fucking thanks.

Yeah but you also have to consider the psychological damage.

That’s exactly the reaction they want. That aspect of the scam helps filter out people who might be smart enough to properly retaliate if they were to get scammed out of 20k or whatever.

To call him the inflection point, as if this wasn’t a more complex change emerging over time, is ridiculous. You are clearly speaking from an outside perspective. He has never come close to flashing his wealth or showing a ‘lifestyle’, anything that has came definitively after his peak. The influencer issue was also far more complex. Instagram was the central breeding ground for those types, and twitter was still conversationally relevant.

Even if he was the inflection point, what now? You expect someone at the center of things to realize their unique position, and then realize the most morally correct thing (to you) to do about it? Patently ridiculous, hindsight is 20/20 when it comes to larger cultural movements like influencers.

Calling pewdiepie an influencer shows how little you understand that sphere. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Funny, I’ve heard it before as well and watched this time for the video. Listening on just the phone’s speaker and it sounded way better than I expected. So this version has been remastered for shit speakers. Interesting.

Edit: first listen was on a full size stereo. (Sounds fucking awesome btw)

Looks like you’re just dialing in the visibility, your contrast choices got better over time. Looks good! I’ll check it out

I feel your pain. The really good ones plan for this, some pop up immediately when you scroll up and that sucks. The proper thing to do (imo) is to wait for the user to scroll 80% of the viewport back up, only then letting it begin to slide in, and have it slide in at a rate 1/2 of the page scroll. I do like having it easily available, but it should feel like it’s trying to stay out of the way.

Right, if we’re talking about “good” in regards to speed then you’re correct. But if we’re talking about discerning intent, seriously? I find it hard to believe you’re speaking in good faith and without bias yourself here. Disguising intent is the leading method to ‘jailbreak’ an LLM. Half the time at least, trolls are attempting to disguise their intent (with varying degrees of success). So that would be a solid failure at worst, or miss swaths of trolls at best.

I don’t want to engage with someone like that either, but I care about not skipping over the people on the fringes of behavior, people who don’t just regurgitate an echo chamber. This task might not require 100% accuracy but I personally wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less than 99.9%.

I think using something like what we’ve been talking about is very very very far off in the future for me, if I were to ever do so at all. This conversation has made me realize that.

The “win” here likely refers to that of a moral or ethical one. Thanks for helping prove the point.

Not obvious. You’re right, there is no magic in this technology, and you clearly don’t understand how it works.

There is not a single LLM currently available that is able to consistently provide a correct or workable solution when faced with a semi complex word problem that’s able to be contained in one paragraph. They may nail it on occasion but they cannot do it consistently. The “problem” of figuring out if someone is a bit eccentric, has poor social skills, is actively trolling, only trolls sometimes, or any combination of the above, is orders of magnitude higher than that. (edit:) To say an LLM is capable of that kind of logical determination is completely ignoring the evidence to the contrary.

That… doesn’t answer the question. How do you assert that the base model you download and run doesn’t have a bias one way or the other?

Yeah but how would you trust that the LLM isn’t biased, or the company that licenses and puts it in a browser extension isn’t either? I don’t know.

I’m asking because I like the idea, it’s a good one.

I think you make a fair point here, partially. However, Marlboro could also advertise on snapchat if they wanted. Now there’s no doubt something like that would catch massive eyes, landing them in hot enough water to probably change the law around it. If Marlboro leadership saw Juul as a threat, that would make sense to do. They lose a pittance in advertising and court fees, and cut off a competitor from an advertising stream.

But they’re not a threat, they’re an asset. Altria, the parent company of Philip Morris and NJOY, has a 35% stake in Juul. Altria is incentivized to keep their piles of shit separate.

Vaping has the potential to be healthier than cigarettes, socially and physically. But not when it’s almost entirely controlled by companies that have a history of marketing to children. It’s physically healthier sure, but only 107 countries have laws regulating the age for vaping, vs 188 for cigarettes. The e-waste factor is also huge, something that a lot of people who vape choose to ignore and I wish they couldn’t. I vape myself, have for years, and it’s a shit state of affairs with how popular disposables are. But I don’t know what the realistic solution is. People are going to use tobacco products in a dystopia.

Oh, the horrors.

Bonzibuddy.

Advertising to children is significantly more tightly regulated, for the very reason that they’re so damn thirsty for it.

As a smaller guy with a slightly feminine appearance (that I try to lean away from but how much can I do), I also fear men I don’t know (bad experiences) and wish that somehow I could choose too. But any sort of ‘qualified selection’ would guarantee someone malicious slips through eventually, and that’s obviously not worth it. I’m not going to let jealousy and whataboutism get in the way of progress. On that note, I do worry slightly about how they’re verifying gender? If it’s by DL, this will affect trans folks in some states much more than others. If it’s not, then verification becomes a very big question mark.

I also can’t help but notice all the language is very passive, on one hand it makes sense they wouldn’t be able to guarantee anything but at the same time I find it so hard to trust passive language from any tech company, they’ve all abused my good faith of it into the ground. But I digress.

No flak just thoughts, concerns notwithstanding this is good to see overall. I’m sure Lyft will have to deploy something equivalent to stay competetive.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, they definitely put money and effort into influencing opinions in all the subversive ways they can manage. But also, let this be a lesson to always check alternatives and their reason for existing. I consider it part of best practices.
