that case specifically did not ultimately have broad implications, but similar cases largely affirmed that vendors can refuse clients based on speech they disagree with. however generally these cases have simply danced around the issue. The general implication seems to be you can’t simply discriminate against people based on their identity, but you can refuse to associate with speech content which you disagree with. this isnt set in stone exactly but it seems like this:

You cant refuse to make cakes for black people, but you can refuse to make cakes which say “BLM”, or in the other direction, refuse to make maga cakes, or cakes with swastikas. Can you refuse to cater for say, the rnc? i would imagine so, but it technically isnt addressed that i saw. Can you refuse to cater for a known nazi? Maybe? Probably not technically just by them being a nazi.

what a strangely passive aggressive and rude response. if you want a comment written in your voice and chosen thoughts, you are free to do so.

This is (deploying malware and backdoors outside of wartime, often widely) criticisized very often and rightfully so. By both cybersecurity people and various political leanings, especially leftists.

Your analogy is good. These things are often intended to kill, and are often countervalue (read: target civilians). It is in fact bad no matter what state does it. It however should also come as no surprise that all states variously want to, though for example the usa has historically gone back and forth on how selective they are for many of the reasons you state. Though other reasons include things like not revealing exact capabilities by releasing malware ahead of time to be spotted and studied.

It is not a privelege, it is something being deprived from people by an ever increasingly fascist state. You do not fix a problem by copying it, the other user argued for disenfranchisement, for genocide.

Somehow on beehaw, arguing that it’s mass disenfranchisement or mass executions of roughly a third of the united states, over 100 million people, is fine for some reason. injustice now is not solved by injustice tomorrow, and any person who argues for mass genocidal disenfranchisement is, in fact, a fascist.

absolutely not, nobody should ever be barred from democracy. out of the question find another policy to advocate.

fascism to retaliate against fascism is flatly fucking stupid.

participation in democracy and governance is not a privelege.

are you suggesting barring trump voters from democracy, because no fuck that.

if you put the people making translation possible out of work, you will run out of sources for useful translations.

LLM are not magic. They function off of human effort for thir training data. High quality data is thus, sourced from (in this case) human translators. Some can be done without them by nonprofessional texts, but it is not enough.

they cant actually but it’s convincing enough that you’ll think it’s the same, and in the process make it financially impossible for improvements to be made by actual translators.

Yes we agree on the first part.

I will again direct you here re: the second.

Where is the world model you maintain? Can you point to it? You can’t - because the human mind is very much a black box just the same way as LLM’s are.

It’s not really factually correct if you want to get pedantic, both brains and llms are called black boxes for different reasons, but this is ultimately irrelevant. Your motive may be here or there, the rhetorical effect is the same. You are arguing very specifically that we cant know llm’s dont hae similar features (world model) to human brains because “both are black boxes”, which is wrong for a few reasons, but also plainly an equivalence. It’s rude to pretend everyone in the conversation is as illiterate as wed need to be to not understand this point.

Where is the world model you maintain? Can you point to it? You can’t - because the human mind is very much a black box just the same way as LLM’s are.

something being a black box is not even slightly notable a feature of relation, it’s a statement about model detail; the only reason you’d make this comparison is if you want the human brain to seem equivalent to llm.

for example, you didnt make the claim: “The inner workings of Europa are very much a black box, just the same way as LLM’s are”

Not understanding the brain (note: said world model idea is something of a fabrication by the ai people, brains are distributed functional structures with many parts and roles) is not an equality with “ai” make. brains and llm do not function in the same way, this is a lie peddled by hype dealers.

depends entirely on the kind of drive.

This is generally in line with ice, the drivetrain efficiencies anymore are in the high 90%s (applies to ev too), so from engine out you are losing basically everything to drag.

critical thinking does not simply mean “think hard”, it means research this person and account for maybe two, even three, seconds, before assuming everything they say is truth.

perhaps instead use critical thinking to determine genuinity. the alternative is not xitter’s version, and twitters old version was criticized too.

an attempt was made

“being politically active is actually bad guys, it makes you less politically active, guys stop being politically active pls”

if your point made any sense fascist regimes wouldnt consistently crack down on opposition public activity and protests as soon as they are able.

Here’s a recent reuters report. https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/ghibli-effect-chatgpt-usage-hits-record-after-rollout-viral-feature-2025-04-01/

160 million active users is quite literally worse than many mobile games developed for a tens of, maybe hundreds of thousands of, usd. 160 million active users for 40 billion funding (they have needed more than this, but i cant be assed to go tally their funding) means theyve spent $250 per user, and their costs only grow as people use it. That is not including the massive server time subsidies Azure has provided them. This is not a profitable company and never will be.

“Block Blast” on the google play store has 40 million daily active users, 160 million monthly, and the studio has around 30 people. Its revenue from ads alone is in the tens of millions per month if this case study is accurate. Oai claims their monthly revenue in the hundreds of millions… with operating costs at greater hundreds of millions. oai profit is negative, with no signs of improving without entirely changing their business plan.
