Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
For actually-good tech, you want our NotAwfulTech community
believe it or not we’ve read the posts and context in question and come to the conclusion that the use of LLMs for summarizing posts and confirming a moderation decision still obviously fucking sucks and obviously represents algorithmic bias in a way we don’t want on any instance we federate with
I know you kids won’t read this but uhhh if you come at us with an attack on our ability to read, all that’s going to happen is I’m going to tell you to fuck yourself before I ban you
My god, I just saw he kept this truck running on Mastodon too.
There is "doubling down" and then there's... whatever this lunacy is.
and came by with a hachyderm account to post on the defed notice
Misinformation misinformation! I did not punch Jeremy! I was merely extending my arm fast and then my glove punched Jeremy. Stop saying I punched Jeremy!!
no it’s fine you see, they fed the posts in question to a homegrown open source LLM (still trained on plagiarized sources by a gigantic corporation as part of an extremely obvious market domination plan) and only pretended to feed a ton of posts to chatgpt as a joke that nobody laughed at
moderator’s note to anyone who came here to make the above point in earnest: lol
ok, wtf did I just wake up to
Lol, yeah, didnt check awful for a day and this escalated. Well done on all the mods for keeping us informed what is going on btw.
What a great example of how not to react when caught in a controversy by the db0 crew.

Extremely unsound reasons, such as finding users years long history of vile genocide downplaying and denying comments and pro Zionism?
Even PieFed.social banned the user who the AI found this out about. So it was obviously useful for them as well.
fuck off with this equivocating shit
piefed banned the user by, uhhhh, reading their posts like a fucking normal person
did you know you can just use mk.i wetware eyeballs to read dipshits' posting histories? revelatory, I know!
and did you just roll into awful trying to pretend that it's a place that is favourable to nazis, genocidists, and other shitbags? or to imply that I am? seriously? because I'm pretty sure I've seen you post here before..
maybe you should stop making shit up in your head and acting like someone else said it
