But you're conflating two different things. Someone who doesn't think about politics 24/7 isn't necessarily politically unaware or politically inactive. It just means that they understand there's more to life than politics. You can recognize that politics has more influence on your life than other things, but it's not the only influence on your life nor is it everything in life. I mean you lived through it, you should know as well as I do that even during blackouts and war, people still find ways to do things life that isn't politics.

Something this basic seems to be beyond comprehension for Lemmy users for some reason.

That's because we have no sensible regulation in place. These tools are supposed to regulated the same way we regulate other tools like the internet, but we just don't any serious pushes for that in government.

AI is the opposite of crypto currency. Crypto is a solution looking for a problem, but AI is a solution for a lot of problems. It has relevance because people find it useful, there's demand for it. There's clearly value in these tools when they're used the way they're meant to be used, and they can be quite powerful. It's unfortunate how a lot of people are misinformed about these LLM work.

LLM AI chatbots were never designed to give life advice. People have this false perception that these tools are like some kind of magical crystal ball that has all the right answers to everything, and they simple don't.

These models cannot think, they cannot reason. The best they could do is give you their best prediction as to what you want based on the data they've been trained on and the parameters they've been given. You can think of their results as "targeted randomness" which is why their results are close or sound convincing but are never quite right.

That's because these models were never designed to be used like this. They were meant to be used as a tool to aid creativity. They can help someone brainstorm ideas for projects or waste time as entertainment or explain simple concepts or analyze basic data, but that's about it. They should never be used for anything serious like medical, legal, or life advice.

The only difference is that people are actually honest about all of these conflicts. They acknowledge who is a fault and what has actually happened. You lack that honesty, hence why you're using the whataboutism fallacy here to keep dismissing criticism and distracting from the arguments being made instead of addressing them directly. You know you can't defend the evils that Russia is committing on their own merits, and so you resort to fallacies. If you were able to then would've just owned up to the fact that you're piece of shit who supports the evils that Russia is committing, but you're not arguing in good faith.

You're so dishonest it's unbelievable. Nobody is arguing with you on your political opinions, that's not the point of contention. You can think whatever you want, that's your problem and right. What I was saying is that normal people don't think about politics 24/7 like terminally online Lemmy users. People treat politics like they do any other subject. There are times when they think about, talk about it, and take action on it, and times where they don't. It's really simple as that.

This idea that people you deem as non privileged think about politics all day everyday is not reality. That's an out of touch assumption that you made up to justify an inaccurate worldview you have. People not thinking about politics 24/7 doesn't mean they don't care about politics or that they ignore politics, it means that there's more to life than politics. People who do spend all their time talking and thinking about politics aren't normal, those are zealots, they're fanatics. This is not a new or controversial, this was literally always the case.

No, fuck off moron. Russia started this war, they're committing a genocide, and they're 100% responsible for ALL of it. Trying to "both sides" the most obviously one sided conflict in the world by blaming the victims for defending themselves puts you and your shitty ideology in the same tier as nazis, which sounds about right for Marxism. You support and defend Russia's imperialist genocide, you're morally reprehensible.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (4 children)

You will never find anybody as morally reprehensible as Marxists who support and defend Russia's genocide in Ukraine. Go fuck yourself Russian shill

They're so desperate they literally buying shit from North Korea at a premium

It's ironic how everything you said here applies directly to you.

You're not a normal person, literally go outside and touch grass.

Normal people have political opinions, they do discuss politics, but that's not their every thought. It might be shocking for you to hear, but people actually have lives outside of arguing about politics. This is true for people all around the world, rich or poor, old or young, male or female. Even in the most dire of circumstances, people find ways to enjoy life and not think about stressful things all the time. Otherwise they would be miserable all the time... like you.

Pointing out the reality is not "tasting the boot", that's just a cop out made by people on this site whenever their shitty opinions get exposed or pushed back. It's a lazy way to dismiss criticism or opinions that contradict their extremely narrow and out of touch worldview. Come back to me when you actually go outside and talk to people from different backgrounds. Until then, you're a zealot.

I literally lived in Iraq and Syria for a big portion of my life, and I spent even more time living in the inner cities of the US. Some braindead Lemmy user trying to accuse me of being privileged from their mother's basement is exactly the type of ignorance that I expect from users on this site.

If people in literal warzones and in poverty can distinguish politics from everything else, then so can everybody else. This idea that people in bad circumstances think about politics 23/7 is not reality. This is an ignorant idea made by ideologues for ideologues. Even during the war in Iraq, people had weddings, they went to visit each other's houses, they celebrated holidays, they talk about trivial things, and so on. Do you know why that's the case? It's because they're people. You clearly don't view them as such, hence you hold on to such an out of touch belief.
