It’s very relevant, because this is the reason they hallucinate. They’re just completing the pattern, no matter how nonsensical it is, because they don’t even know what they’re doing. They don’t reason, they just regurgitate whatever fits the pattern. There’s no awareness of what they’re saying, there’s just a logic chain that says “if I say this, then I say this next” with zero thought. No reason, no awareness, no thought.

It does not think it’s human. It’s just mindlessly regurgitating words to fit a pattern. That’s it.

No it doesn’t, it doesn’t even think.

Just shovel them into my mouth. 👀

Let’s just call everything a website. It’s all on the internet, right?

Digg and Reddit invented the terminology and I don’t think people are unfamiliar with it.

If you sort on Lemmy by activity you can get exactly the same behaviour.

Point. That’s not the default behavior, though, and most users aren’t using the site that way - and I’d argue the site isn’t designed the be used that way, and that’s why most users don’t use that functionality.

And bumping is even often frowned upon because it pollutes active discussions. It’s just people abusing how those forums sort threads.

Not what I meant. I don’t mean people making worthless “bump” comments (that often just gets people banned) I mean that forums bump up threads that get new comments.

I use forums, and they’re just different.

Lemmy posts are still designed to decay and fall off the front page. The posts last longer if they have participation but the only way to make something last a long time is to sticky the post so it doesn’t decay.

Forums aren’t like that. Forum threads are meant to stay around as long as people bump them and they can be ancient, with hundreds of pages of comments, and the thread still keeps getting bumped because new content is added to the thread.

Also, the way comments are organized is different. Our comments are threaded so we can have a conversation between us in a comment chain, but forum comments are sequential. The comments section of every thread would look way different if it was a forum.

Forums are just structurally different. If you don’t like “link aggregator” that’s understandable, it’s actually not very descriptive, but you still need to be able to differentiate between forums and whatever-the-heck this space is.

Forums update threads by bumping, so threads from ten years ago can still be on the front page as long as they are active.

The term “link aggregator” was made to differentiate websites that are designed for threads to rapidly decay and be replaced by a constant flow of new content. If you tried to federate lemmy with a forum it wouldn’t really work.

Maybe there’s another term that could be used, but there needs to be a way to differentiate the two styles.

And when the current senior programmers retire the field of juniors that are coming to replace them will be much smaller.

Okay, but like-

You could just be lying.

You could even be a chatbot, programmed to hype AI in comments sections.

So I’m going to trust studies, not some anonymous commenter on the internet who says “trust me bro!”

Or I could just use the dash - way easier.

And it doesn’t make me look like a robot.

In the comic, the desire path happened because they wouldn’t just connect to the crosswalk. Even in the end, the constructed path connects to the sidewalk slightly to the side instead of going straight to the crosswalk.

Desire paths happen because of poor, antihuman design choices.

You say this is human nature, but I see this comments section filled with good little doggies that follow master’s rules.

What the hell am I looking at? What the fuck is going on with those diagonal arrows??

My keyboard does not have an em dash and I have never seen one that does.

Still sus. 🤔

Humans just use dashes - they get the point across and don’t require esoteric button presses.

From the source I posted, white women still only favored Trump by a 4-point margin. Is that enough to write them all off?

First off I don’t know where you got 70% from, but from what I see a majority voted for Harris. It was close (because support for the Democratic candidate fell and because participation fell) so Trump got 48% of their vote, but that’s all it was. Close.

Second, to complicate this further, 41% didn’t vote.

Third, leaving aside the fact that your grievances aren’t based in reality; your revanchism is basically making you side with the Republicans in their ethnic cleansing campaign. Your position is making you indistinguishable from any Republican.

What we need to be doing is building a broad coalition of resistance against the regime, not trying to use the regime to settle grievances. If we don’t unite oppressed members of society against Trump he’s just going to pick us off one by one. Divide and conquer.

Fuck off with this racist revanchism.

These are people who are ripe for radicalization against the regime, and we need everyone we can get.
