  • The news is sugarcoating how revolting the Epstein files are

  • They took a literary warning about totalitarian regimes and used it as manual to implement a totalitarian regime.

    It would be laughable if it wasn't so dangerous.

  • I meant clickbait as "The most impactfull headline to catch the most views", not as unrealistic.

    Edit: I guess I had a wrong understanding of the word, I stand corrected!

  • Sure, clickbait headlines don't really work, that's why they don't use those at all...

    I would say its the other way around:

    They purposedly use extra mild language to report these news so they don't catch people's eyes that much, while still claiming to report the news.

    Next, they put news of Alleged Domestic Terrorists Rene Good and Alex Pretti in all caps.

  • Distorsión of reality by linguistic manipulation.

    This is straight out of 1984 book:

    In the novel, "Newspeak" wasn't just about being concise; it was designed to shrink the vocabulary so much that "heretical" thoughts became literally impossible because the words for them no longer existed.

    Here is a breakdown of how linguistic manipulation distorts reality, both in the book and in our world:

    1. The Erasure of Nuance

    In 1984, if you wanted to say something was "terrible," you just said it was ungood.

    By removing "bad," "terrible," and "horrific," the emotional weight of the experience is flattened.

  • And the main problem LLMs seek to fix is human labor getting in the way of shareholders value.

  • Impose what? Have you hear about fractional reserves?

    2008 financial crisis that resulted in zero accountability and tax payer bailouts for the banks?

    History is plagued with examples on how banking fucked up the plebs.

    Not to mention half of the world is outside the banking system.

    At least Bitcoin is money with clear rules engraved in code, no bailouts and accesible for everyone.

  • Bitcoin’s network draws a negligible amount of energy considering the amount of financial transactions it allows.

    Do you think all the extremely complex (and corrupt) existing financial system is more energy efficient?

    Also miners gravitate toward regions with cheap, renewable electricity, and market pressures continuously push the ecosystem toward greener power mixes, so the energy profile is improving over time.

    Are you really gonna smear Bitcoin with financial missbehaviour? Do you know what's the currency most used for ilegal purposes? No? It's the dolar.

    Trillions of dollars fuel narcotrafic, human trafficking and other crimes against humanity.

    This post also fails to consider that Bitcoin serves a vital purpose as a savings mechanism, in the face of government that are not fiscally responsible (inflation).

    Housing prices, stock market manipulation, over investments and more and more shenanigans are only incentiviced by the fact that people cannot save in any currency, when the best of it lost 90% of its value in the last 70 years.

    BTW, don't get me started on the big dumpster fire of energy and capital that is the AI bubble...

    If you are going to hate something you might as well take 10 minutes to understand what you hate, otherwise you are a zombie.

  • Agreed, but now they have tools that enable them to do it with unprecedented impact.

    In my opinion, the difference is so huge, we might as well think they didn't manipulate things at all before.

  • Yes, but don't underestimate the power of centralisation.

    6 months ago you could set up a server for running a decent local llm for under 800.

    By increasing the demands and pushing the price of hardware up, they are efectibly gate keeping access to llms.

    I think the plan is that we will need to rely on this companies for compute power and llms services, and then they can do all sorts of nefarious things.

  • Is this correct? I was under the impresion that the most expensive part of an llm is the training, and once that's done the cost of running a prompt is negligible.

    I get your point that this last part doesn't scale well, but the far larger cost of training must get very diluted if they distribute it across a large user base.
