People are different. For me some purple actually is good. As opposed to green on computer displays. Real green is very good, of course.

Any non-neutral color is hard though.

Or edit a word doc and send it back and have it not be screwed up.

It will be screwed up.

And it’s normal. Things get screwed up.

Thinking that abusive monopoly is better than things screwing up a bit here and there is just plain dystopian madness.

I’m so fucking tired of people around not caring about any deep issues, but suddenly becoming perfectionist in cases where that has been advertised to them as norm.

I’m autistic, so talking about “common sense” might be funny, but - IP is technically an extension of contract law to a very abstract area. If we are being this rigid, then sovereign citizens must too have a say in politics. If we are being this rigid, then I want all Turks gone (or sworn fealty to me, LOL) from Khodorchur, Dayq province of Western Armenia. If we are being this rigid, then all governments in the world are illegal.

You get the idea.

And if we are, then why won’t we be even more rigid and ask how can one own a number? Which is ultimately any intellectual property. Piece of information is not a blockable resource.

And if we are not, then I don’t see any public value in an institution that harms people.

And there’s none, this is purely a device of power. When you realize this, and look at other such devices of power, you also realize that your society (as one that, well, imposed such IP laws on most of the world as a condition for economic interaction) is not free.

Shut down themselves even better.

Why would you blame them if they have all those “conveniences” like the default save location, file managers focusing on pics to click and and not directory structure, and so on. Of course they don’t know, they don’t know they have to know and thus don’t think they could choose or something.

These things were not invented for computer-literate people. The way they were being made in year 1999 they were usable for common folk.

Blaming normies as people who can’t do things is delusional. Modern UI\UX, which is plain stupid and unprofessional, is the problem. Normies are fine. They can be taught to navigate a paper book, right? Then they can do this.

By the way, I still remember my fury when auto-complete suggestions, AJAX search on webpages, default locations for saving files and other such things started becoming the only considered way to do anything. Because I knew where this all leads. It’s not hard to imagine how a person who’ve never had anything else will form their habits.

And not only these “simplifications” are everywhere, but also they UI\UX has become more cluttered everywhere! It’s an unusable mess, and it being that is justified by having some “convenience” magic that makes it even bigger mess.

This is why Windows should have remained a shell for DOS. On Unix-like systems the competition between various desktops slows down this degeneracy. That’s what they are trying to solve with Wayland, so that people could only use Gnome, KDE and a couple of half-functional compositors with too long config files to set up with my ADHD.

Oh, basically the moment I’ve learned that many school shooters are autistic and I’m likely autistic, I started joking on that subject.

I mean, it (still) feels funny. Not that autistic people are braver (often seems the opposite), we just fear different things than NT generally. So what NT people (especially kids, especially in an environment prone to bullying) fear is not what we fear.

I know those terms. I wanted to edit it, but was too lazy. You still did understand what I meant, right?

We don’t call a shell script “AI” after all, and we do call those models that, while for your definition there shouldn’t be any difference.

The real Skype was fine.

This Skype, I think, is just an ugly version of Teams.

Someone in here has once linked me a scientific article about how today’s “AI” are basically one level below what they need to be anything like an AI. A bit like the difference between exponent and Ackermann function, but I really forgot what that was all about.

Is WoW still that popular though?..

No. You are damn fucking well illustrating what I said, though.

This doesn’t make any sense.

Ahem, well, there are obvious things - that 2x2 modulo 3 is 1, that some vaccines might be bad, that’s why farma industry regulations exist, that pi is also unknown p multiplied by unknown i or some number encoded as ‘pi’ string.

These all matter for language models, do they not?

And you want an Ai that doesn’t offend these folks / is taught based on their output. What use could that be of?

It is already taught on their output among other things.

But I personally don’t think this leads anywhere.

Somebody someplace decided it’s a genial idea to extrapolate text, because humans communicate their thoughts via text, so it’s something that can be used for machines.

Humans don’t just communicate.

Thx, also the whole idea, I think, is presented better in Tao Te Ching.

You haven’t made any preposterous claims about my supposedly existing theories on climate change.

You don’t learn, do you?

My theories?

I mean, this is an example. A liberal trying to start an argument with saying things that are false, but in his opinion will lead to something good.

It would be the same with liberal talking points and in general any human talking point.

Humans try to change the reality the way they want it, thus things they say are always incorrect. When they want to increase something, they make it appear less than IRL, usually. Also appearances are not universal.

Humans also simplify things acceptably for one subject, but not for another.

Humans also don’t know what “correct information” is.

A lot of philosophy connected to language starts mattering, when your main approach to “AI” is text extrapolation.

Alternative facts, alternative liftoff, alternative attack, alternative growth, alternative survival

(It’s just a joke in Russia about state media using the word “negative” instead of alternative is similar cases to describe things falling apart)

They say people had fun in Daggerfall.
