Think about taxing the rich? THAT’S SOCIALISM

Ponder if an apartheid state is doing a genocide? ANTISEMITISM

Don’t like the new Marvel movie? SEXIST! RACIST!

Freedom of speech died long ago and now there is no flow of ideas, even incrementally. We’re in big trouble

I blame “Infinite growth”. i.e. Capitalism

That’s how you know you’re on the right side of history

Sometimes, you just want to feel the movie differently. Or combine THC high with a runners high and feel light as a feather. Or to give yourself the courage to mix up lunch and try a fried spam, cheese, Sriracha honey sauce Eggo sandwich.

Or you’ve been meaning to clean the whole house with that album you’ve been meaning to hear blasting from your pocket.

Or sometimes, I do nothing at all in a comfy chair outside by the bird feeder. Just watch the clouds spin overhead and dream of where you are in the universe. Or stare at yourself. Or empty your mind entirely and just breathe. Or listen.

No one knows when weed is getting in the way of life instead of augmenting it better than you. Enjoy responsibly, my friends!

Allow me to complicate the trial. What if the robbed is no longer alive?

I feel you, and also acknowledge it is a hairy subject on a grand scale.

I also try to frame the issue in the actual, real moment. I try my damndest to do as little harm as humanly possible to anyone. Should I be forced to give money to someone affected? Land? Should I be punished?

Who benefits? A grandson of someone displaced? A great great grandson? Whole family trees? How do you make shit like this right after so much time?

Mostly, I’m trying to encourage thought and discussion. Fundamentally, I think people should be judged on their own merits and actions, not their lineage.

Define “make it right”. And for who, exactly?

But you and I did NOT. I see a lot of people online who can’t make the distinction.

EDIT: Thanks for replies, all. Some good conversation here

Is there any evidence that India ordered the assassination?

Unless we’re talking protesting or voting. Then they’re asleep.

Ah, but that’s the thing. Training isn’t copying. It’s pattern recognition. If you train a model “The dog says woof” and then ask a model “What does the dog say”, it’s not guaranteed to say “woof”.

Similarly, just because a model was trained on Harry Potter, all that means is it has a good corpus of how the sentences in that book go.

Thus the distinction. Can I train on a comment section discussing the book?

We have to distinguish between LLMs

• Trained on copyrighted material and
• Outputting copyrighted material

They are not one and the same
