Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

He may be a sucker but at least he is engaging with the topic. The sheer lack of curiosity toward so-called "artificial intelligence" here on hexbear is just as frustrating as any of the bazinga takes on
. No material analysis, no good faith discussion, no strategy to liberate these tools in service of the proletariat - just the occasional dunk post and an endless stream of the same snide remarks from the usuals.
The hexbear party line toward LLMs and similar technologies is straight up reactionary. If we don't look for ways to utilize, subvert and counter these technologies while they're still in their infancy then these dorks are going to be the only ones who know how to use them. And if we don't interact with the underlying philosophical questions concerning sentience and consciousness, those same dorks will also have control of the narrative.
Are we just content to hand over a new means of production and information warfare to the technophile neo-feudalists of Silicon Valley with zero resistance? Yes, apparently, and it is so much more disappointing than seeing the target demographic of a marketing stunt buy into that marketing stunt.
Definite what you mean by "curiosity." Is it also a "lack of curiosity" for people to dunk on and heckle NFT peddlers instead of entertaining their proposals?
Even at its extremes that I don't agree with myself, I disagree here. No, it is not just as frustrating.
Then bring some. Don't just say Hexbears suck because they're not "curious" enough about the treat printers.
And hating on leftists in favor of your unspecified "curiosity" position is what exactly by comparison?
What does your "curiosity" propose that is actual resistance and not playing into their hands or even buying into the marketing hype?
I actually told my wife "watch this, I'm going to get a smug reply from UlyssesT," so thank you for not disappointing.
Good job, you recognize cause and effect
I want to hijack this opportunity to ask about pigeons. Are they soft and fluffy?
Yes
Give me ur pigeon
You made a smug post. Smug in, smug out.
Kind of weird to make me that important to you in your personal life, too.
Yeah, sharing what's happening on my phone with my wife is weird.
I don't tell people IRL about my arguments online because I know that shit's boring to anyone except me
