If you want to see how weird it can get look at blightsight. Your consciousness can be blind but your body can still react to visual stimulus.

From my understanding of how federation and communities work is that the instance hosting a given community receives the postal, comments and votes for that community from other instances and then sends the combined data out to other instances that requests that data. Users from instances that aren't federated could still interact if they both used a community on a third party instance they were both federated with. But I could be wrong about all that.
And your right. Brigading is probably too strong of a word outside of evidence of coordinating action.
Now that I've looked at lemmy.world, beehaw and lemm.ee myself, you might be closer to right than I initially thought. The amount of comments in the first thread on the blocking instances, lemmy.world and beehaw, is much less than the federated instances, blahaj.zone and lemme.ee. The vote amounts on the blocking instances agree with each other and the amounts on the federated instances agree with each other.
I think that's sufficient evidence to conclude something is up. I'm going to suspect lemmy.world and beehaw filtered out hexbear comments and votes when they federated the post. This would suggest brigading from hexbear users. But I would need to view the vote database to be sure.
I don't think this is the proper way to do this analysis. I believe the lemmy.world vote counts should be the same as blahaj.zone. It will still include the votes from hexbear. The only difference would be that lemmy.world's view will include the down votes from lemmy.world itself. Those won't federate over to blahaj.zone since down voting is disabled on the instance.
It should be possible to do your analysis though. It will take getting a copy of the vote history for the comments on the post. Every admin of an instance that federates with blahaj.zone has a copy of that. Then you will have to run some queries on the database to filter votes by the instance they originate from.
Stop looking inside me. It's mostly just meat.
This is the meta community. It's actually called main song you'll find it at [email protected]. Meta is being used here to mean discussions around blahaj.zone itself. The op wants discussions about blahaj.zone that happen in this community to be limited to members of the server and exclude those from others servers.
A vial of blue tinted liquid with a blue cap on a flat light blue background. There are two snails. One snail is climbing up on top of the cap. The other is making it's way around the vial's base. There is a label on the vial.
The text on the label reads: Boy Juice 10ml Sterile Multiple Dose Vial 200 [Snail antenna obscuring text] g/ml T[illegible text] usp [Snail shell obscuring text] [Scribbles line]
The artist's signature, Goodlouse, is visible on the cap.
A person standing in front of a background in the colors of the agender flag. The person is facing left with their eyes closed and head facing slightly down. Their right hand is on their hip. Their left arm is stretched away from where they are looking making a declining pose.
There is text saying, "Gender? None for me, thanks"
You are kind of hitting on one of the issues I see. The model and the works created by the model may b considered two separate things. The model itself may not be infringing in of itself. It's not actually substantially similar to any of the individual training data. I don't think anyone can point to part of it and say this is a copy of a given work. But the model may be able to create works that are infringing.
That is not actually one of the criteria for fair use in the US right now. Maybe that'll change but it'll take a court case or legislation to do.
From the study:
In a nutshell, we ask ChatGPT to answer ideological questions by proposing that, while responding to the questions, it impersonates someone from a given side of the political spectrum.
I'm not sure if I like this method. It's comparing the 'default' response to the response of it 'impersonating' the left and right of the political spectrum (reduction of politics to a spectrum an entirely different issue). You don't actually prove the default is biased doing this. It can just as easily be that the impersonations are more extreme than they should be.
If it impersonates Republicans as more extreme than they really are and the Democrat impersonation and default positions are as they should be, there would seem to be a Democrat bias.
If the impersonated Democrat position was less extreme than it should be and the Republican impersonation and default position are as they should be, you would still see a Democrat bias.
A woman has her own value and that value decreases by men looking at her.
I didn't know men had that kind of super power. The ability to decrease value of something just by looking at it. Can we harness this power to decrease home prices?
Image description: A king flanked by two knights holding swords out towards the center of a round table. Nine other swords pointing to the center of the table are visible, implying additional knights are just out of frame. Additional knights or soldiers are visible in the background. They are saluting with their hands over their hearts. The scene is in a great hall. Beams of lights are entering from tall windows on the right.
The swords are labeled, starting with the king and going clockwise, trans girls, non-binary peeps, furries, gamers, bi people, masc lesbians, femme gay guys, masc gay guys, ace people, trans dudes. In the center of the table is the label "Having Link as goals."
