How many times do I need to repeat this? I'm not making any arguments for or against any particular interpretation of the constitution. What I'm doing is pointing out that the various organs of the US government - Congress, regulatory bodies, courts - are interpreting it differently and as a result are performing in a dysfunctional manner.

I've made zero arguments because I'm not trying to make an argument. I'm describing what's happening, not arguing about how it should be happening. You're endlessly battering a strawman here.

The "google-fu" in this case was to search for ".glb format specification" when seeking the .glb format specification.

This really doesn't seem like a huge challenge requiring sophisticated skills.

Okay, "the court" instead of "the courts." It still doesn't fundamentally change what I'm saying here.

I'm not arguing it. The courts are arguing it.

We're not actually disagreeing, because I'm not actually arguing a position here. I'm not saying what anything should be.

I looked at the sites. Did you? The thing that OP was looking for that they claimed had been made unfindable or "polluted" were perfectly accessible and fine.

I'm not "blaming" anyone. I'm describing what's happening. The reason why it's happening is irrelevant.

That leads right back to the first thing I said in this comment thread:

And once the Fediverse is big enough to be relevant the bots will come here too.

It's too small to bother with right now.

If we truly get to the scenario where it's impossible to tell bots and humans apart, even while considering post history and everything...

We have the technology for that scenario right now, it just hasn't been implemented on the Fediverse yet (as far as I'm aware).

I've done a lot of playing around with locally-run LLMs, and they're quite good at roleplaying. I could gather up all of my previous comments I've posted under this account and provide that as background context for an LLM and tell it "write a response in the style of this user" and it'd do a really good job. Most of the time when you see an obvious "as a large language model" tell it's because the person who had the LLM write up that post didn't care to spend any effort giving it a persona to emulate. The "ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about lemons" trick is easily countered with a few minutes of work, we're just not seeing people bother with those few minutes yet because they get the results they're after without having to spend it.

LLMs aren't up to the level of AGI yet, but they're up to the level where they can fool most of the people most of the time. Turns out humans are simpler than we somewhat hubristically assumed.

And yet the courts keep overturning these rules. That's what I'm saying is happening, and that's what's happening. What's "from ignorance" about this?

In some manner or another, that's what's happening. If that's not what's supposed to be happening then the system that's allowing that to keep happening needs to be fixed. Either by changing the system or by changing how the system is supposed to work to match what's actually happening.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. I'm saying "the way the US government works doesn't match what the US constitutions says" and I'm getting angry responses saying "no, it's not working that way!" Yes, that's what I said.

All of this net neutrality back-and-forth would go away if Congress would simply pass a clear, unambiguous law saying "yes there should be net neutrality." Is that what's wanted? If so then do that.

We're saying the same thing. The government is not operating according to how the constitution says it's supposed to be working.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 5 points 8 months ago

I need to know which side they're being politically charged towards before I know whether I should be angry or happy. Are they being taught about immigration being bad and religion good? Or the other way around? How about environmentalism and trans rights?

If an instance starts getting a lot of bot users, they'll probably be defederated.

Which brings us back to the original problem I raised. There's no way to tell who's a bot and who isn't. Bots can impersonate humans extremely well these days, as far as online interaction goes the Turing Test is essentially "solved." I could be a bot right now, they can generate comments like the ones I'm writing here.

So you're saying that it's the courts that are behaving incorrectly according to their role in the constitution? If so, that doesn't change the underlying point I'm making here.
