djsumdog (djsumdog@djsumdog.com)'s status on Sunday, 31-Dec-2023 11:07:27 JST djsumdog It's the people's fault to for gravitation to only using Google and neglecting Yahoo, Excite, HotBot ... I mean Google did give a lot better results in the early 2000s, but the search space stopped innovating and there are very few new players. Even search engines like Kagi still give you pretty much the same style of results, with some limited options for lenses and such. -
djsumdog (djsumdog@djsumdog.com)'s status on Sunday, 31-Dec-2023 11:04:32 JST djsumdog I haven't seen the video, but I hear this theory mentioned .. it boils down to the guy claiming the Internet is all bots now, right?
I mean, there are a lot of bots for sure, but the name "Dead Internet Theory" makes me think it should be more about how no one has independent websites anymore and all search is intentionally broken and people have moved from making all kinds of cool stuff to only posting on Meta/Google/Reddit/Xitter/BigSites(tm). -
djsumdog (djsumdog@djsumdog.com)'s status on Sunday, 31-Dec-2023 05:52:49 JST djsumdog The tests don't test for anything. They're horrifically inaccurate. The media trained an entire population to believe in the religious ideology of "asymptomatic carrier" instead of the much more logical and factual "false positive."
Doctors globally have never used RT-PCR to test for someone being infected with a virus. Antibody tests were always used to see if you had (maybe) been infected with a virus.
I'm implying the tests didn't matter for a disease with a 99.98% survival rate if you were under 60. Most who died, died from being unnecessarily hooked up to a ventilator in a hospital or being given that toxic drug Remdesivir instead of something that was safe like Ivermectin.
People still pushing to take the very dangerous and untested preventative shot, that doesn't work at all (unless working means blood clots and heart disease) are ideologically captured by a religion. They likely cannot think critically and would have murdered the people in the Stanley Milgram experiment.

Also, I fear AI less and less every day. LLM are like a wrong answers only thread.

Have you ever had to go through an immigration process? I think most people who make statement's like yours have a luxury belief, because you've never attempted to process yourself. -
djsumdog (djsumdog@djsumdog.com)'s status on Wednesday, 27-Dec-2023 14:41:37 JST djsumdog See my reply further on the thread. Basically the large language models/LLMs are only going to rearrange and regurgitate existing solutions and documentation. If you ask it for programming solutions that aren't trivial, most of the code is wrong, and takes more time to debug or clean up than just writing it from scratch. -

djsumdog (djsumdog@djsumdog.com)'s status on Sunday, 24-Dec-2023 17:47:15 JST djsumdog I feel like every headline today is from The Trueman Show. Don't leave town, there's literally nothing out there. Don't reproduce, you're saving the planet. -

djsumdog (djsumdog@djsumdog.com)'s status on Sunday, 24-Dec-2023 14:02:05 JST djsumdog I don't see Christianity as evil. The morality of Christianity is the foundation of western society. British Civil Law is based on it (as Roman law was lost at the time). The slow growth of Christianity, and the increasing belief that all humans were equal in value in the eyes of God (while being unequal in the reality of man) is was lead to the morality against slavery. (If it was just Islam and Judaism, I don't think slavery would have disappeared for several more decades, if not centuries).
I do not like some of the lingering aspects of Christianity; the push for collectivism instead of individualism. The early church in Acts was very communist. The modern commentators who stand by Israel with terrible reasoning, the constant moral banter and rhetoric about how reproducing is a moral necessity, and the incessant anti-porn quibbling ... it's all pretty tiresome.
I see the value of what various forms of Christianity have given the world, but it has changed significantly, and it's splitting into more versions than we've ever dealt with before. -
djsumdog (djsumdog@djsumdog.com)'s status on Sunday, 24-Dec-2023 14:02:03 JST djsumdog Being all of God's children, makes human beings equal under God. We can only be equal under God because we are inherently unequal. Interpreted one way, do not covet because your father will reward you in heaven (Book of Job story). The Marxists claim this is an an opiate so people don't fight for good now. The ultra-progressive wants actual equality for humans that are unequal: equity. They want the equality God promises in the afterlife, but right now when it's not deserved. It's really interesting to look at and understand that balance.
As far as rich bad/sell all your possessions: Jesus is the idea of the perfect. No human being can help every homeless person on the street. Even church ministries will tell you there are some homeless people they have to turn away, because they will not follow the simplest rules, and pull everyone else down. Jesus is the ideal that was never real, because it cannot be real. But it's what humanity aspires to as the ultimate ideal. Unfortunately, it's tempered by that Parable from season one of Fargo (pictured below)
Christianity certainly did give us the modern idea of victimhood being virtue. But it was in the context of suffering refining people like a stone being rounded in the stream. The post-modernist raises up the victim, but without all the other stuff to temper it.
I agree, the idea of being a slave to sin and redeemed by God to be kinda fucked up; as well as the atonement of blood sacrifices. At the same time, rituals help us deal with doing horrific things, like killing other animals to eat, or infanticide (killing what society cannot take care of).
I don't think Christianity alone can survive in its current form another thousand years, but I am curious what it could be supplemented or replaced with. You don't get to chose not to have a religion, only which religion to believe in.
