  • It’s a form of micro-marginalization. Some people do it without realizing, some do it intentionally. Just another way to “other” some demographic in a subtle way.

    You can see it done with the words indigenous and native too.

    Bahamas Government Unveils Proposal To Legalize Marijuana For Medical, Religious And Scientific Use - Marijuana Moment
  • I can’t believe in this day and age marijuana is still an object of political influence.

    Just legalize the shit, period. What’s with all the conditionals attached to it? You just have to marginalize users one way or the other because god forbid we have fewer things “those people” do to point fingers at.

    Impressions from a new ChatGPT user
  • Humans can do something, doesn't mean humans only do that thing and nothing else.

    Humans have many models of the world running in different modes in parallel, enabling us to make sense of things other than just process language and come up with plausible sounding answers within the rules of a given language.

    Our understanding of concepts is different than how we process language, demonstrated in that there are perfectly intelligent people who can't communicate using spoken or written language (including sign language) but can do so using other methods which demonstrate language processing isn't essential to our intelligence.

    The way we learn information and integrate it into our neural network is vastly different than how we train our artificial models using machine learning. Even if we just take language processing, we definitely don't learn by reading the entirety of written human language many times over regardless of what language it's written in, until we can understand how it's underlying mechanics work so that we can form plausible structures of word-chunk strings without necessarily understanding the concepts behind the word-chunks.

  • LLMs are "generate something that sounds like it would answer the prompt" machines. Nothing more and nothing less.

    Through that lens, they are a lot less impressive, a lot less frustrating and also a lot more fun.

    Assassin's Creed Mirage will take 25-30 hours to complete – and that's if you're a completionist
  • During what I still consider the golden age of gaming, which is 1997-2004, most single player games were aiming for 30-35 hours. That has been my sweet spot ever since but it doesn't mean a game can't be satisfying with less than that.

    I personally don't find anything shorter than 10 hours enough of an experience. 25-30 sounds very reasonable.

    Supreme Court Ethics Bill Passes Committee over 100% Republican Opposition

They are a neoliberal organization who'll side with republicans more often than they do with progressives. They are trying to paint it in a bad, big government kinda sentiment when they call it "strict".

  • TIL I didn't know the meaning of normies.

    It's not a word I use but when I saw it first, I thought it meant neurotypical, then after a while I saw it in a more political context and thought it meant centrist. Turns out, it just means mainstream. I think.

    What exactly does this word mean?
