What a mic-drop shutdown of a response. DAMN. Lol!
Seriously, thank you for that writeup. I clung to every word, and it inspired hope.
While the prevailing hivemind narrative is that people are “doing nothing” while Nero plays his fiddle, that’s clearly not actually the case, and inspires me to be way more politically active.
I’m also wary of all these “Well go start a fight or you don’t actually care” posts. They’re typical keyboard-warrior nonsense and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were bots at this point, as there would be a lot of value in flooding every communication platform imaginable with this rhetoric until it does something to legitimize tyranny. This would be trivial for any nation-state or even competent fringe group to pull off.
Thank you again for the discourse and taking the time to educate people. You’re doing good work. God bless and stay safe out there. <3

Thanks? It’s a rather childish clap-back, so I’ll laugh with you either way if it’s sarcasm or not. ;) That said, I really don’t like the idea that someone that actually knows how to write being accused of being a bot; I won’t stand for AI poisoning legitimate creativity along with the rest.

I really try to avoid fringe, conspiracy, magical, or otherwise just-universe-fallacy thinking if I can help it. But the copium on this is very, very real though, which makes rational thought in this area very hard. So I could be dead wrong here. Take this all with all the salt it takes to clear a Michigan freeway in January.
So, I keep combing back to that realization too. I think that chaos is easy to create if you press hard on existing social rifts, and has an outrageously good cost:benefit ratio if you can just inject yourself into everyday discourse from 10,000 miles away.
Haha maybe I was overly enthusiastic, but no it was sincere. :) For some reason the sentiment like “The only reason that stupid clanker can write well is because I wrote well first” just gave me a good laugh LOL.

Agreed 100%. I really hate this post-truth Ai situation we find ourselves in, and I worry that accusing people of being bots for being articulate is just another kind of anti-intellectualism we’ll be facing.
(Which is ironic, because I’m very certain you can ask the thing to write poor grammar like an average Internet commenter.)
I do, all the time. I used to on Reddit quite a lot. So, if anything, AI writes like me.
