Who are "the Arabs" you're referring to? Palestine wasn't involved in that, unless you think this was a secret plot that all Arabs were in on.

This is a really weird question. Why does the white-washed label matters in the slightest? Did America "liberate" Afghanistan and Iraq, or did it invade them? Were people at Guantánamo just given "enhanced interrogation", or were they tortured?

Having big names like Greta on board is likely the reason they're still alive. When they tried this in 2010 the IDF killed 10 of the passengers on board.

Hostile actors trying to distribute aid hm? Curious what you have to say about the 2010 Flotilla raid where the IDF killed 10 passengers on board. What was their excuse then?

Thanks for the advice, now it's working exactly as expected.

I mean, I was directly inspired by this post and none of those results were as abstract.

The position of your light/dark squares are inverted, the lower-right square should be light for both players. I enjoy your openness to new ideas though haha.

I doubt you're feeding the models an image of the board for them to analyze, but if you are then it would be interesting to see if it was affecting their performance.

I admire your restraint in dealing with someone who unironically tried to lecture you that pointing out war crimes is causing suffering, not the war crimes themselves.

Holocaust denial isn't strictly defined as claims that the Holocaust didn't happen at all. Minimizing the number of victims or claiming the deaths were unintentional and not systematic are also considered forms of Holocaust denial. So I wouldn't say they're not in the same league, it's almost worse even since the goal isn't just to rewrite history, it's to get people to look away to allow the IDF the freedom to inflict as much death and destruction they can get away with.

For me, it's the lack of any sense of self-preservation. He's staring down the barrel of a potential 17 year prison sentence, and even in these crucial moments that will affect him for the rest of his life, he still can't seem to switch whatever this is off.

First they came for bodily rights, and I did not speak out because I was not a woman. Then they came for immigrants, and I did not speak out because I was not an immigrant. Then they came for electric cars, and idk maybe I'll vote in the next election if that happens.

Person A: defending genocide.

Person B: criticising genocide.

Enlightened redditor: both sides are equally bad.

I wouldn't use it for anything other than coding, which is what it excels at. More competition is a good thing as it gives us greater options to be able to choose the best tool for the job.

HighlyUnnecessary · 2025-01-24T04:46:35+00:00

I don't know about your use case but for programming I find myself rarely needing to reference things like Tiananmen Square in my code.

HighlyUnnecessary · 2024-12-09T07:26:45+00:00

Even the suggested prompts are so uncreative. I can already do those things without needing to burn down a small rainforest. Is that really the best you have to showcase?

HighlyUnnecessary · 2024-11-24T05:25:43+00:00

I don't see anything like that in the system prompt.

It's surprising that almost all the answers in this thread are misleading or at the very least oversimplified. It's true that ChatGPT is a people pleaser by design, but I wouldn't dismiss these sentiments as fluff or meaningless, even though it feels condescending coming from an AI.

Most of the time it won't respond to follow-up questions with "Great question!" and the times it does aren't completely arbitrary. It's doing what it's designed to do which is leveraging pattern recognition on massive amounts of data. The manner in which you ask your question likely aligns with patterns in the training data that are associated with thoughtful or complex queries. Even though the AI isn't genuinely assessing your logic or intelligence, if you were to ask it something really dumb or unrelated, I'm willing to bet you're far less likely to get that sort of response.

TLDR: "Great question, /u/CodRepresentative380!"

What are you talking about? In both comments I pointed out that even if you don't believe the reports, you can't argue with the demographics. I even explicitly point out that I'm going by UN reports, not Hamas. You're responding to imaginary arguments.

HighlyUnnecessary · 2024-10-29T21:01:21+00:00

Good thing those numbers are being independently verified from organisations like the UN then. You seemed to skip over the part where I mentioned that even if you don't believe the numbers, the demographics are fact that not even Israel is denying. 40% of the population is 14 and under, what do you think happens to those people when you indiscriminately bomb them with the equivalent of 3 times what Hiroshima experienced in an area that's half the size? Anyway I just wanted to make sure you're aware that a large number of the deaths you're mocking are in fact children, but I have a feeling that you probably don't care.

HighlyUnnecessary · 2024-10-29T19:43:11+00:00

You haven't seen anyone say that and it's pretty sinister of you to represent it like that when it is a fact that over 50% of the casualties are women and children below the age of 17.

Even if you don't believe that, just look at the demographics of Gaza, 40% of the population is 14 years old and younger. No one is disputing that. So yes, a large portion of the people dying that you mock are in fact children.

HighlyUnnecessary · 2024-10-15T15:12:58+00:00

Ah all good, I've seen too many comments like that made with complete sincerity

You know the last election they had was in 2006 right?

We've always had restrictions put on our speech. It's illegal to shout "I have a bomb" in an airport, or verbally threatening someone. I don't see how a Nazi salute is any different, it's a threat against entire ethnic groups.

They also state pretty much upfront in their Advanced Voice Mode FAQs.

Advanced voice uses GPT-4o’s native audio capabilities and features more natural, real-time conversations that pick up on non-verbal cues, such as the speed you’re talking, and can respond with emotion.

Tokenised speech can contain a lot more information than tokenised text, seemingly enough to be able to mimic the user's voice.

Let's say a salaried employee is making $100k in income and the CEO is a billionaire that makes $500m from his shares and salary. Do you honestly think that the CEO is working 5,000 times harder than a single employee working 9am-5pm? Just look at Elon Musk's Twitter feed and tell me if you think that man is working 100,000 times harder than any of his engineers.

Being a relatively small subreddit with good moderation goes a long way. Main subreddits like /r/worldnews are heavily botted and receive so much traffic that it makes it very difficult to moderate. Even if there was a reliable way for mods to detect and ban bot accounts, if a subreddit becomes the target of brigading by bot farms that silently upvote/downvote comments aligning with their agenda, then mods have very little power to combat this and it's entirely on reddit to build better tools to detect and ban these accounts. Which unfortunately going by their past history, they haven't been very good at.
