It’s ML, doing their job very well.
Update- never mind. I looked more posts down into your history than I did when I wrote this. You know what you were doing.
Welcome to Lemmy! I would suggest not abbreviating "Machine Learning" as "ML" in the future, and use "LLM" or "AI" instead.
There's a lemmy.ml instance that people here sometimes refer to as ".ml", "ML", or "ml". They have an above-average population of people with different political views than most, and you will sometimes find comments generalizing the people on that instance because of it. Those generalizations tend to be frowned upon by people in that instance as well as by people on other instances who are sick of the arguing.
He’a referring to ML (the instance), implying that the racist snake chud and the farther-left-than-the-overall-American-Democratic-Party ML poster are one in the same, for he is a believer in the political alignment ouroboros
No step on snek, soldier
~~His account is 3 weeks old.~~
~~From the past 10 or so comments I looked at when I wrote my comment: the guy's comment history demonstrated tech literacy. It did not demonstrate right-wing chuddery.~~
~~Occam's razor. In a reply to a comment talking about bots, it takes fewer assumptions to connect "ML" to machine learning than to "lemmy.ml"~~
Actually, I take that back. I scrolled down about 20 more posts into the guy's history than I did last time, and he had things to say about tankies.
I mean the cunt fuck fauxmunists, not machine learning. I’ve been here for years despite rotating accounts every 30 days. I’ll say what I want.
Oh, it's you. Kindly, fuck off and take your trolling elsewhere.
You don’t know me lol. I’m not trolling. You just don’t like my words.
Calm down Cartman, we all know you'll say what you want.
McCarthyist Losers?
You think ml is mcarthyist?
Should've known this would go over McCarthyist's head.
Lol
Is the instance in the room with us right now?
Now that you're here, yes.
How dare I want the workers to own the means of production. How can the billionaire pedophile elite eat our babies when equality is running rampant through society!?
I didn't say anything about that. I'm anarcho-communist myself.
Just pointing out that a .ml instance user joining the conversation very literally does bring the .ml instance into the 'room' with us.
Fair enough, comrade.
ML stands for Machine Learning. If the goal of those two bots were to argue with each other to sew political division and distract from the class inequality suffered by both sides, they are doing their job very well.
In any case, if your immediate response is to interpret a comment containing the initialism "ML" as your Lemmy instance being persecuted, you may have a victim complex.
Not a computer nerd, thanks for the knowledge, though!
I don't know if you know this, but ML is much, much more commonly used by .World users in regards to the instance, and not machine learning. I don't think it's a victim complex as much as it's a bogeyman problem.
My inference from the comment chain's context was "ML" as the tech concept, but, yeah—if someone is unfamiliar with the term, I can see how that will be seen as a comment about the .ml instance.
I'll admit, that was my bad, lol. Thanks again for the explanation!
I just scrolled a few more screens down into the guy's post history than when I wrote my original reply to you. No, you were right.
For an account 3 weeks old with comments that make it seem like he works in a software development field, he had opinions on tankies. Charitability and assuming Occam's razor applied was not something I should have given him.
Shit, you weren't kidding. Thanks for sleuthing. Guy seems like a real piece of work.
He mentioned rotating accounts every 4 weeks. His instance is quokk.au, and I sometimes see extremely disagreeable and standoffish comments from some quokk "users" who get banned from communities and disappear. I think it might be the same guy.
Nothing suspicious about that at all, lol.
