Tbf it doesn’t care if people live or die… so long as they refill its supply (it ran out of red ink, it would seem).

- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 1 week ago:
Using words like “deanonymized” and “pseudonymity” probably doesn’t help, either (well, it helps them).
Anyway, bold of us to presume that they will even care about accuracy prior to deployment.

- Comment on Top 10% of Americans Have Double Wealth of The Bottom 90% 3 weeks ago:
(1) clickbait title gonna clickbait
(2) They are not aiming to convey facts - which we’ve known for several decades, like the wealthy have all of the um, ah, wealth - and rather to convey an emotional punchline. So just one sentence phrase, without any compound portions.
(3) I do not know about this source in particular but in general all news media is owned by oligarchs, and presumably the author felt that a story talking about the top 0.1% would not be published, so they misrepresented the situation in order to make it more tolerable. This serves the oligarchy by redirecting anger away from billionaires that you will never see, to the local millionaires in <insert your local area name here>, or even to Taylor Swift that you will see in entertainment. Meanwhile, people like The Musk still control the outcome of the Russian vs. Ukrainian genocidal war… but sure, show a picture of Taylor Swift as if that is remotely comparable as the literal “face of this issue”.

- Comment on The sun is a deadly laser... 3 weeks ago:
Well, “life as we know it”. But for all we know energy rather than matter-based beings could have existed more readily back then, and perhaps struggle to exist now under lower density conditions. Thereby making that earlier era more habitable for their type of life, even as our current era is more habitable for our own type.

WRONG! It is turtles actually. It’s elephants alternating with turtles (and then every tenth level is capybaras) all the way down.
