ChatGPT decided to name itself Lemmy and asked people to join it in protesting API changes. But it was talking about the ‘Anti Personnel Incendiary’ system that was being removed because ChatGPT really shouldn’t be controlling weapons systems.

when companies get too big, the C-level executives lose visibility about what the needs of the actual users are and instead

I think that cycle is universal. As any organization or group becomes increasingly stratified the decision makers at the top lose any connection to the foundations of prosperity that allowed to to grow and stratify in the first place.

I imagine it like a city on a mountain. As the city grows wealth and status concentrate at the top. That’s normal and beneficial at small scales. But at a certain point the top moves above the cloud layer and can no longer see the base of the mountain. After that point those at the top start to forget how the mountain works and believe the cloud layer is part of the structure and their decisions become increasingly disconnected from any reality below that cloud layer.

And our globally connected society keeps those above the cloud layer in closer contact to the tops of other mountains than to the base of their own.

“You mean tuna?”

“You heard me.”

I’m just glad to find something that’s growing with public enthusiasm instead of dying from corporate greed.

I’m waiting on a data request for the rest of my history, though I did that 6mo ago for other reasons and still have it so if the delay is too long I’ll just lose those months.

After that I’ll probably keep my account for a while to spam about Lemmy until I get banned.

I think that’s essentially what will happen, but they’ll just remove comments they don’t like. If no one showed up at all they’d look even dumber. But it’s going to be a trainwreck for the ages so I’m looking forward to the show.

At least we can agree that one of us is hilariously incorrect.

All of Europe works as puppet states to the US

Or they just have reasonably aligned interests and you’ve completely misunderstood the concept of a puppet state.

I don’t know if ‘sleepwalking’ is the right word. Is there a condition where one side of the brain is a asleep while the other is screaming for it to wake the hell up?

I’m hoping it’ll be more like craft beer and become it’s own market that overlaps with more mainstream options but still has a solid base of users\customers that keep it separate.

I enjoy reading your interpretation of this conversation.

I think you should just stick to the idea that self-righteousness means ‘telling people what to do’. That seems to be as far as you can go with this. Do another ‘cognitive dissonance test’ on me- that was funny.

I know you won’t understand any of this but I’m bored.

You actually can tell people not to celebrate death, for instance if it’s your family member- you’re within your rights to be upset because you have a relationship with that person. So if you think Pat Robinson was a good dude, it’s actually not as self-righteous to say “Stop that, he was a good guy!”. That would be silly for other reasons though.

But if you don’t have a dog in the fight, it’s pretty self-righteous and morally superior to just rant that strangers can’t be glad someone that caused them pain is dead. Not everyone shares the vacuous sentiment that the dead should be uncritically revered and expecting them to is as silly as them expecting you to celebrate with them, but I haven’t seen anyone asking for that.

As far as telling people not to murder… yeah- actions and words are inherently distinct. Hilariously weak point but I do like the energy.

If binary thinking is all you’re capable of I’d say you should err on the side of caution and just never tell anyone what to do. It’s more complex than that but clearly this is your limit.

So you think the act of murder is comparable to how one speaks of a dead person?

lol- how is that related to this conversation?

I know this won’t happen but the best possible outcome would be if nobody showed up.

The demonstration of self-righteousness was preaching to strangers about how they should feel about a dead person. If you genuinely don’t understand how that is self-righteous, well… that makes this even more fun somehow.

I don’t need to demonstrate it, you already did.

The fact that you think it requires any ‘defense’ is kind of funny.
