some guy said he doesn’t trust Americans to form a competent government

Not what he said.

and I said you’re an American?

Not what you said.

You don't seem to have an interest in understanding the impact of your own words, either before posting them or afterwards. No point in talking, then.

Well, considering I never voted for Trump, am against bigotry in all its forms, don't want to deport people for having the wrong skin color, believe that free healthcare is a human right, hate capitalism, etc... I don't think it's unfair to say that I very much am not like the fascists currently in power or the people who voted for them at all.

How is it fair to criticize me as though I'm the same as them when I'm fighting against them? Does my being born here somehow make me deserving of scorn?

I get accused of being a bot all the time now because I still enjoy writing long-form posts

From cecilkorik, who I was replying to. That kind of bot accusation scarcely ever occurred before LLMs entered the picture. You posted too hastily here and missed a huge chunk of context.

Yeah. I hear you there. Problem I usually have is that the odds of an accusation tend to scale less with posting style in my experience and more with level of disagreement, or whether or not the poster has personally witnessed something. Basically, "I didn't see this with my own two eyes/dislike you, so this is obviously bot behavior." It's a conspiracy theorist-like attitude, and it's predated LLMs entirely.

Nonetheless, I'm not happy that an entire new form of bot scrutiny has been introduced, and I absolutely cannot wait for GenAI/LLM hype to die the fuck down.

And more! The current discontent at the Democrat Party and the pushes for reforming it have all the more chance of success if the Republicans start fracturing at the same time.

I honestly have no idea how to respond to this. Did you read my comment and its context? Because I can't figure out what point you're even trying to make, so it really feels like you didn't.

I swear to God, some people these days will cry bot if someone so much as blinks unexpectedly. Chill.

If you want to shit on America the country, I'm with you. I could hardly disagree with the top comment in this chain; America is, after all, racist, bigoted and fascist right now. The nation, and especially the government, deserve all the vitriol.

But please don't shit on Americans writ large. Too many of us hate this just as much as you do, and we really don't appreciate being lumped in with those who enabled it.

there’s a full third who had a choice and refused to do anything

We've got at least two options for blame when it comes to the last election:

  • Politicians who wield actual power and use it to do nothing (at best)
  • Voters, largely struggling to survive, wielding little power, even in aggregate, due to a rigged system

I live for the day people blame the former instead of the latter, though I know I'll never see it.

I misremembered it as being about Iran back then too, but yeah. It's the War on Terror excuse all over again.

Iran

having nukes

Experts disagree

Man, where have I heard this one before?

Interesting. I feel like the headline is still bad though. I get why they ran with it, at least — "ChatGPT finds kernel exploit" is more interesting and gets more clicks than "Monkey finally writes Shakespeare."

but this proved that it could be used as a useful tool for helping to detect vulnerabilities.

I think "could" is doing some heavy lifting there.
