<p>i wonder why various governments and journalists keep using anti-social media as well, due to the innate conflict of interest: anti-social media is all about sinking governments and trad journalism.<p>don't go on the rival platform and legitimize it further,  IMO</p>

<p>i disagree, profoundly. 
500 years of nation-state politics can be boiled down to "can we come up with a fair system for self-rule,  or shall we have more kings"
the right wing answer is always another king.
hell, lenin was the czar who killed the czar before him and got popular support by pretending to be populist.
what is communist about him and his buddies eating caviar while the peasants starved?<p>fix the system, don't rig the system, and "fuck the system" and anti gubment anti UN nonsense just plays into the monarchists hands.<p>right is and will always be WRONG.
LEFT is just a wishlist, utopian general vector of where to go, but never achieved.<p>there, i fixed your brain, now wake up and spread the word.</p>

<p>Spot on.
i am disgusted how engineers trained to be rigorous will eschew the rigor of precise specification and instead opt for a nondeterministic blackbox magical oracle emitting little pre-packaged turdlets of incomprehension.<p>Scam Altman is good at sales, and his framing is indeed the key to forcing so many lemmings to submit to 'the inevitable'...<p>the first step in deprogramming such a brainwashed victim is insisting we refer to LLMs and not using the marketing term AI.</p>

<p>i simply find that certain values defined by this study to be immoral, and the source of much of humanities problems, namely: purity,  authority, and loyalty.<p>it's as if the study put our political spectrum as an a priori set of truths, rather than symptomatic of the strong cultural sway what i consider to basically be the sources of social evil has.
the power and prevalence of wrongful ideology does not make it moral.</p>
