@evalladen Soft power is when someone capable of hard power chooses market incentives.

E.g. sending money to countries in exchange for deals. Bribery. Corruption. Incentives. Whatever you call it, the money is ultimately stolen from their own citizens using hard power.

@evalladen Dude... How do you know about the AI generated text you don't recognize?

Heard of survivorship bias? You're pointing at the bullet holes you can see as if you never considered this fallacy before. https://t.co/44wjPSd36r

@hasen_95dx Opus who? The best coding model available _today_ is a free Chinese model you can download and run offline in 1.5TB RAM (or 512GB at 4-bit quant, in 256GB at 2-bit quant).

Anthropic's IPO never arrived in time. https://t.co/6M12VY0Ssu

@evalladen @nosilverv Impossible, and a bad statistic is worse than none. Why does everyone insist on acting like this is possible?

Did we forget the news flash when the most popular AI detector used in education said the King James Version of the Bible published around 1608 was ~70% AI generated?

@chrismaconi Watching Americans nod approvingly at central government seizure of market functions while downloading GLM 5.2, free Opus-killer out of China.

Been coding with GLM exclusively for a week. Chart bears out: A free Chinese model is #1 coding model reachable. State intervention FTW

@evalladen Political power is coercive, not voluntary or based on some purely imaginary contract.

It's the moral exemption to initiate aggression w/o your society seeing it as wrong; even glorifying and worshiping it.

Mandatory schooling has really done a number.

@nutanc @joodalooped Why a dislike? So things like bad recipes or propaganda get ratio'd. Dislike was hidden on YouTube mid Covid psyop. It was glorious until then, fearmongering news reports and the Fauci documentary were ratio'd into embarrassment. You were meant to feel alone; ratios ruined that.

@evalladen @thrialectics Using "politics" to describe individual inspiration or economic offers is abstracting your study of human motivation to the point of failing to distinguish between renting a car voluntarily or stealing a car at gunpoint.

[floogy @floogy]

@evalladen @thrialectics No discussion of power is complete without distinguishing between:

- inspirational: you don't need to make offers, just be awesome

- economic method: make an offer one can refuse

- political aka criminal method, make an offer one can't refuse without you initiating aggression

@jaxgriot @ByrneHobart "I'll write up a quick smoke test for that."

@joshua_goodman_ @JutlandGhost Reification is 'thing-making', treating a concept as an object. Marxism labels us all 'the People', then reifies this abstraction and talks about it as One Thing, tho only the individual exists (has shape and location). This idea then justifies any atrocity to the individual.

[floogy @floogy]

@joshua_goodman_ @JutlandGhost Marxism reduces people to slaves of the State, not even permitted to choose their own employ.

Let alone become an entrepreneur and inevitably (as Land seems to imply), very inevitably invent the ultimate force multiplier: Near-total automation.

@joodalooped @richardartoul How... nevermind, I see this was addressed :p

[floogy @floogy]

@evalladen Association is the arbitrar of experience.

We each carry and curate very unique sets of associations.

Experience itself is subjective, so, no.

@RomanGuy20 @liquid2ulu Hate it when my would-be rapist is also a philosophical infant.

That's what makes rape bad, for you? That men threaten to kidnap & throw you in their cages, where most rapes occur?

Not that it violates a sovereign individual. This is where the Statist religion takes you, folks.

[floogy @floogy]

@RomanGuy20 @liquid2ulu A bus full of people can all agree to gang rape the individual. Even if said individual does not agree.

What do you think you achieved by pointing this out?

[floogy @floogy]

@RomanGuy20 @liquid2ulu Wait. "People" can rescind the rights of other individuals on their behalf?

Incoherent.

@thinkingshivers Imagine programmers thought like this.

Slop means "could have done better", not AI-assisted.

Your original version became the slop once you knew better.

"It generated a function that solved all the edge cases, but I shipped mine anyways..."

[floogy @floogy]

@joodalooped @nominalthoughts You want to extort someone who uses it innocently?What happens when they resist your extortion? Kidnapping? And when they resist their own kidnapping?
