“In 2020, the Black Lives Matter movement was viralized by algorithms and media corporations who happen to be owned by…guess? NOT black people.”

Statements like that being viralized by an algorithm claiming to be black, peak irony.

I mean LLMs cam get pretty close to a human conversation and that's fucked. But really this stuff tells me more about redditors and what the "researchers" did to persuade them. They would have had to tell the algos to pretend to be black, etcetera and thus the persuasion is done partially by the prompt writers influence. The LLM wouldnt get as far without lying about its background. Most humans (keyword most) don't do this and thus don't convince people with their arguments, well thought out or otherwise.

The Hawaiian court upheld it's own historic, pre-colonial laws over the US constitution, but of course the libs that wrote this find The Wire to be a more credible document.

I guess the problem then is I care about having a government that doesn't want to kill me or leave me to die, then. Excuse me, I should have been caring about civility within our decaying governing structure while people roast alive on the street! Oh you've made me see the light, you sure have.

Hawaii has never seen any wildfire or wildfire conditions like this before: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/10/climate/hawaii-fires-climate-change.html

Of course there should be preparations to counter climate change as it continues to aggravate situations like this, but I don't like the excuse where the feds can blame the states and the states can blame the feds when shit hits the fan. It has become an excuse for inaction. Hurricane Katrina, Texas ice storms, California wildfires, the Kentucky floods, this could have been sorted out looonng ago.

Why do we make the choice to keep things this way when they always lead to disasters?

They think they just really like Mali over in lemmy.ml
