I once saw someone unironically sharing their new trick of "if you need to write a bunch of really similar lines just with different numbers, chatGPT does it really well".

Kind of blew my mind (and everyone else that saw the thread)

What you do is use a for loop to generate a million lines for you, then paste it in. Writing it manually is moronic. You can easily make it support numbers above 1,000,000 too this way, talking about scalable

Provisional? Are we going to start having Official Pal Action and Real Pal Action too?

Thanks for the correction. I just assumed it's the same one, should have checked kitty-cri

Correction: Not the one. This is from before.

Here's the footage. They gave repeated warnings. The crew acknowledged once, said they have the right to be there, then just kept ignoring them.

I'm glad someone here is also watching Ethanyahu's shitshow.

Got a bit burnt out from the lawsuits TBH. It's all fun and games when it's just people dunking on zionists. It's less fun when it's the millionaire zionist throwing his money around to ruin other people's lives.

I have a question but I don't want to start a new thread so here: (Israel & politics related)

Why can't Israel stop doing the genocide?

Clearly it's not going well. It's destroying their image not just in the west asia region, but also the entire globe. Being against Isn'treal is becoming more mainstream than ever. And they are paying a lot in (American) resources and lives.

Like it's not like they can't stop because they are in a war or something. At any moment, they can just turn around and say "we have achieved everything we wanted, war's over". There are no foreign occupiers in Israel except the Israelis. The whole 12 day Iran war could've been avoided entirely if they just didn't bomb Iran out of nowhere.

Why? Why can't they just stop? Why do they feel the need to keep going?

The only theory that makes sense is that the Israeli society is so twisted, they are basically doing blood for the blood gods now. But I don't want to believe that, I believe in every country being rational actors. I've seen the harm of western media characterizing whole countries as "evil" or "hate us for our freedoms", I don't want to do the same. I feel like I must've been missing a critical piece of the puzzle here. What am I missing?

Waiting on Israel to declare this a pogrom any day now

I think Microsoft's Windows 11 has done that far more effectively than any influencer

Most probable answer. I don't know any of them maybe that's why it seemed to strange to me

 

Like seriously, who uses it?

In terms of capability, I don't think I've ever seen Grok ranking high on any leader board for any kinds of task. Normal people would use ChatGPT. Open weight enjoyer would use DeekSeek/QwQ/Mistral/Whatever(haven't kept up with the developments). Programmers probably use Copilot or some dedicated coding model.

In terms of image generation, Stable Diffusion is free and easy to setup. Image generating sites are a dime a dozen. Midjourney used to be massive. Most chatbot services like Bing or ChatGPT also offers it for free. And Grok's quality, from what I've seen, is pretty sub-par.

In terms of accessibility, almost all of them are accessible on a webpage or have dedicated apps. The only advantage Grok has is you can tag it on twitter. But 1, you need a twitter account. And 2, it's response will be public for everyone to see.

So why is there a significant user base for it? I know they exist, because I kept running into guys that posts some long text/image and then says "I asked Grok and got this", "Grok generated this, lol". And it's not like they use a lot of different services because they would consistently mention it's from Grok on multiple occasions instead of just saying it's AI generated or mention some other name.

Who are these people? Why? Is "Grok" just a dogwhistle to let others know you are rightwing? Am I schizoposting?

bugs-no

Yeah, you wanna hoop, so shoot, baby, shoot

Uh, it's time to hoop, so shoot, baby, shoot, baby

Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam

What line?

Uhh.... May day May day May day, stock prices, going down!

 

So I'm sure a fair number of men who were teenagers around 2015 went through that alt right pipeline. The gamergate crap, youtube "skeptic community", "mens right" and the like. I've been there, unfortunately.

I've gotten over the most of it in a year or two afterwards and come agree with the stuff I've dismissed since. (Mostly as a result of hate watching "the other side" and their arguments sticking) But I never really got over slogans like "kill all men", "abolish men" being said by women, always made me felt like I'm being unfairly included in the group and it's unhelpful campism. Hell I even ranted about it on Hexbear once. (cringe rambling alert).

Slogans like that isn't really seen anymore post ~2018, until recently someone randomly brought it up on a reddit-logo thread. One person just replied

It's basically the equivalent of "Another kkkrakkka down unlimited genocide on the first world". took-restraint

And that ticked with me instantly. I'm no cracker. I'm not from the first world. I'm in "the other camp" and I post stuff like that. But I don't actually mean I celebrate people's death as long as they are white and want to genocide the first world, it's just a statement against imperialism, just like "kill all men" is a statement against the patriarchy.

That's all the rambling I got today. Hopefully if there's anyone here with similar thoughts, this can help them get over it too.


Okay I bet someone is going to tell me the objective of feminism is to actually kill all men now.

(Only the first 3:30 is relevant)

My summary of the video:

  • A Harris presidency will allow the empire to continue to function smoothly. As a result, more harm will be caused towards the global south.
  • A Trump presidency will cause less harm outside the US solely because Trump is incompetent and surround himself with incompetent people. However, life will be worse within the US due to the empire being dysfunctional, also the conservative social policies.
  • So for the lives of Americans, Harris is better.
  • For everyone else, Trump is better.

I'm asking because I don't recall seeing a lot of people with this take and this has been my take for years.

I should clarify that I am from the global south. And I don't agree with everything in the video, in particular the part where he said Americans should suffer because of the suffering the US brought to its victims. I don't see the vast majority of Americans having any control on its foreign policy, so I don't think they should be punished for it. Also, I know it's 100% hitler vs 100% hitler, both are equally bad, I agree, just that they are slightly different variants of hitlers.


Note: I'm not arguing that you should vote for Trump, hell no. If I'm an American(I am not), I would either not vote or vote PSL. This take is about the effect of one or the other getting elected.
