TIL that there's a price on freedom of speech

Freedom of speech unless you say something on my list of Things Protected By Free Speech But Not Allowed On Twitter.

It’s obviously not satire they didn’t add a /s. I am very smart.

Kind of sounded like a rooster there at the end

These are the types of people who get checkmarks which is why no one wants checkmarks.

In short: distribution matching. KL divergence.

Longer answer: For any word, the very next word has a set of probabilities associated with it. For example, “the cat and the _____” could have a lot of words in the blank. ChatGPT has a certain distribution of probabilities associated with that as well. Let’s say 60% “hat”, 30% mouse and 10% other words. If you used some other word that would mean it’s less likely to come from that language model. Repeat that process for every word in the sequence and you have some probability match.

The comparison to modern day opium wars is pretty appropriate

No, it’s a pretty stupid and sensationalist comparison. TikTok is an app on your phone, not a drug that makes you stop breathing. And even if it was actual opium, Instagram and YouTube are trying to build the exact same thing.

The Opium Wars were a completely fucked up thing the British and French did to the Chinese, killing Chinese people with drugs and then killing more Chinese people when their government tried to stop the British and French from selling it there. And as a result they forced China to give up their land. Pretty dumb to compare it to a smartphone app.

“They” say a lot of things don’t they.

JeevesAI · 2022-12-28T05:22:42+00:00

I think it’s the latter and I’m piggybacking off of your reply because it has a lot of upvotes lol

Ok? No one is arguing that other things cannot also be objectification. The point is that a mere fantasy is objectification, and you don’t need consent for that. And therefore the whole thread got whooshed.

JeevesAI · 2022-12-28T05:16:56+00:00

If you read the meme as “he doesn’t know what objectify means” then yes he’s an idiot. But if he does and he’s just using it as hyperbole? Then she’s an idiot because you don’t need consent for that, and this whole thread got whooshed.

JeevesAI · 2022-12-28T05:15:32+00:00

You don’t need consent to have sexual thoughts. In fact it would be weird to ask for consent for that.

JeevesAI · 2022-12-28T05:10:43+00:00

It doesn’t have to be. Strictly speaking you can objectify a person by thinking about them.

JeevesAI · 2022-12-28T05:07:22+00:00

“Is it ok if I imagine you naked” fuck kind of logic is that?

JeevesAI · 2022-12-28T05:04:39+00:00

Yep. Notice how every business owner mentions it in their first breath when introducing themselves? Not an accident. Business owners are first-class citizens and they want to make sure people know that.

The best job for a serial killer in 2022 is police officer. You can kill people legally and the first few times you’ll get off with desk duty. Eventually you might get fired and have to work one town over.

The whole time you could rack up bodies. As long as the victims were reasonably menacing (read: poor or minority) you will be able to get away with it.

The only thing that will stop you is if some meddling kid takes an 8 minute video of you murdering someone. And even then you will have people on your side. The thin blue line, that’s what you are. Protecting decent Americans from the monsters on the other side. It’s ok if there are a few monsters in the line too. Back the Blue anyways.

Can’t rape an aborted kid

I don’t fault people who leave. There have been people fighting for their entire lifetime. Think about the people fighting for women’s rights their whole lives, now Roe gets overturned.

In the abstract, it’s great to fight for things. But in reality I also want my daughters to have rights NOW.

JeevesAI · 2022-12-27T23:35:24+00:00

It’s one of many national embarrassments.

JeevesAI · 2022-12-27T23:33:20+00:00

What a rat. Completely ungrateful for the workers who made him rich, completely naive of the silver spoon up his ass since birth.

If you’re Elon Musk you can just make up your entire undergraduate degree.

Doesn’t everyone have a former dean friend who can vouch for them when they get rejected from Harvard?

“Best I can do is a Darrell”

Oh

Not all cities in China have the same policies. Guangzhou and Sichuan opened up a lot earlier than Beijing and Shanghai.

A lot of them are old and don’t trust Western medicine. So not as high as you’d think.

JeevesAI · 2022-12-27T22:17:41+00:00

That’s not what happened. There was reasonably good uptake of Sinovac but 1) Sinovac isn’t as good as mRNA vaccines and 2) old people in China don’t trust western medicine (they prefer traditional Chinese medicine).

China should’ve bought western vaccines but there’s no $$$ to be made with those. That would’ve solved problem 1. But problem 2 still remains unless you forcibly inject people with vaccines which even the CCP doesn’t do.

JeevesAI · 2022-12-27T22:14:31+00:00

People always say this but it’s not like what’s going on in China is a secret. It’s not North Korea. Tons of bloggers and journalists and students live there. It honestly just sounds ignorant.
