It says environmental in the title?

That's because it's never truly been about the rights of the fetus, it's always been about controlling women

I'm a very strong supporter of free speech. But free speech absolutism where you go out of your way to make all voices heard is not what free speech is about. It's about the government not interfering. Just like people have a right to a gun, but Walmart has the right to kick you out for bringing one, rammy.site users have the right to say whatever they want, and other instances have the right to defederate.

If a teacher goes against the curriculum and teaches children that black people are all out to get them, I sure as hell hope the school would step in and stop or remove them.

That's not a violation of free speech, but in your opinion above it would be.

Go find me a left wing instance that spreads hateful disinformation and incites violence and I'll ask to defederate with them too. Just because the right is the only side doing it doesn't mean they'd be removed for being on the right.

If someone goes to jail because they murdered someone, it wasn't because of their political preferences.

Free speech absolutism is harmful. By remaining federated with them, you're participating in distributing their content and giving them a platform. People do have a choice of what they want to see, they can choose to be a part of another instance without morals. I would hope that a programming instance of all places would understand the consequences of propaganda given so many programmers work in data collection and targeted advertising. If you show an ad to 1000 people and one of them buys the product, the ad worked. It's no different for disinformation campaigns.

It's not like they're just sharing differing opinions or saying awful shit, they're taking things out of context or making things up (or posting articles that make things up) and it's very easy to prove if you do a tiny bit of googling. One article listed off a bunch of climate predictions that were wrong along with sources to look credible. If you checked the sources though, they were all wrong. Some of the predictions were actually made by humans (but not the claimed academic institutions) while others were straight up made up.

I hope the admins make the right decision here. Protecting free speech doesn't mean allowing people to say whatever they want on your platform. It means allowing them to say it on their platform without being fined or put in jail.

Np, I left my previous instance when I learned they don't defederate at all. Beehaw might take it too far, but I can't be part of a free speech absolutist group that doesn't understand the consequences of giving a platform to those types of campaigns

There's a lot of disinformation and propaganda on it. They also used rammy.site to post exclusively harmful shit because it's unmoderated

Good, leave so they replace you

Closer, and I hope I'm not just being a pedantic jerk, but there is no code being generated either. To use correct terminology, the weights of the nodes are what change. Nodes are roughly thought of like neurons in a brain, and weights are roughly thought of as the strength of the connection between one neuron (node) and another. Real brains are way more complex.

The weights of the nodes do contain information, but it's not human readable at all, we actually don't have a way of understanding how they work, just a rough idea of why. Sort of like how your brain contains the information on how to catch a ball, it performs the equivalent of calculus to do so, but there is no calculator in your brain doing the math to catch the ball. Actually, maybe a better analogy, if you have a bouncy ball, it contains the required information to bounce if you drop it, but we can't read that information, we can only model it.

But I'm just rambling at this point, your point is clear and valid lol

I don't disagree, but I do want to point out your understanding of how chatgpt works is flawed. There is no database or query going on. It's a giant neural network model that was trained on all that data you mentioned. The model is effectively predicting what the next word should be based on the previous words, nothing else. Each individual word is selected this way.

It doesn't change any of your arguments or conclusions, but I wanted to point it out, because if someone wrote a chat not like chatgpt using databases and programming I would be floored and incredibly impressed

Yes that's how statistics work. If the statistics say 77% of people won't die if they walk more than 4000 steps, but you see someone who walked 4000 steps who died, that means the study is fake. (Made up numbers to illustrate why anecdotes are useless unless claims are for 100%)

Maybe it's just how things turned out for me, but when I was younger my brain and body were stronger but things were situationally pretty bad until I got to college. Now that I'm around 30, situationally my life couldn't be better, but exercising doesn't feel good any more so it's a chore, the world is on fire just like I was warned it would be as a child, I don't have the drive to learn any more, and it feels so unfair that I don't get to experience the life I have the way I imagined because getting here took too much out of me. But hey, at least it's not bad. Maybe there's hope I "get better".

I think healthy aging is beautiful, but I don't think most people age healthy. If my wrinkles are based on the first 25 years of my life, they're going to show frustration and exhaustion. I hope your winkles do show you've lived a life of joy though. Keep up with exercise and healthy eating, that's more than half the battle
