when something as simple as a weather report comes off as partisan shit talk to you, maybe some self examination is in order, celebrate the country by touching some grass

[–] RaphaelSchmitz@feddit.org 1 points 18 hours ago

There is no grass anymore. Only astroturf

Weather is political, you can simply use a sharpie and the storm won't hit DC

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Don't you know you can only add weather zones with sharpie? To remove an area about to be hit by a storm, you need a reverse sharpie. Good luck finding one of those on short notice.

It’s political because the left controls the weather control machine or something

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

No the government does. Biden had it. Now Trump has it.

WHY WILL TRUMP NOT USE THE WEATHER WEAPONS AGAINST AMERICA'S ENEMIES?! IS HE IN CAHOOTS WITH THEM?!?

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

RapidResponse47 is more in touch with the current political reality than you. Weather reports are partisan now. Reporting the weather truthfully makes you an enemy of the Trump administration, and weather forecasters are actively being purged depending on their willingness to lie for the sake of far-right narratives.

The Weather Channel chose to not just issue a weather report for Washington DC, but for a specific politically charged event whose attendance will undoubtedly be used as a measure of Trump's popular support. It chose to warn people, dissuading them from attending, which will reflect poorly on Trump.

The Weather Channel chose to prioritize the truth and people's safety over Trump's political standing.

The Weather Channel is an enemy to be brought to heel.

This is politics in 2026. Go touch grass and watch people get dragged from their houses to be put in a concentration camp.

See that em-dash after "years"? That tweet was written by an LLM. No wonder it makes no actual sense, an AI model has no idea that it's ridiculous to berate a weather report, it's just following instructions to reply with "AMERICA GREAT" to anything it thinks is "unpatriotic".

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Oh yeah, the emoji too. Fffuuuck

It unfortunately does make sense, it's just.... VERY polarizing and inflammatory and sensitive and defensive

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

thank god we still have that little tell. They'll remove it and at some point we won't fucking know what's AI except when a moron suddenly says something coherent.

Scary how LLMs are taught to output this kind of offensive text

[–] AceOnTrack@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

LLMs are trained and owned by rich billionaires, of course they protect the fascist class

[–] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's kinda overly anthropomorphising. They are a statistical model that uses the number of occurrences of tokens in association with each other to predict the most likely next token. You can do that with pretty much any training data and any text. The current very large models will have almost any kind of text in their training data, including unhinged manifestos, racist tweets, etc.

Since models are stateless, getting them to produce that kind of output doesn't change or worsen them in any way.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

It's not that simple. You can adjust outcomes by weighting. You can adjust outcomes in a myriad ways. Yeah, sure, in a trivial sense it's just statistics, but that's like saying that computer communication is just a bunch of ones and zeros. It misses a lot of the point.

It really gets way more complex and most certainly can be adapted and tuned in various ways.

This LLM took some X patriot's job god damn it

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Russian troll factories in shambles.

[–] CanadianCorhen@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 days ago

Trump triggered by the weather? never

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s awful that AI is taking jobs away from low IQ patriots now too. Where will this end?

With that AI holding their binkies at the ready, for one.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Calling The Weather Channel clickbait somehow the saddest thing I've read, and also the most on brand.

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 days ago

…and after our lord and savior gave byron colbert’s timeslot, to boot: DID HE EVEN SAY THANK YOU?..

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Their boss is notorious for hiding from even light rain like he's made of sugar because he is a spoiled baby

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

More like he's afraid he'll melt.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 10 points 2 days ago

Looks like god is pissed tbh

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Rapid response, because everything has to be military coded with these fucking dorks

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 8 points 2 days ago

Um, America's birthday isn’t for another few weeks…

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago

Fucking A. These people are textbook fascists.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago
