Ususally just turning off javascript using ublock makes these notices go away. And if turning off javascript breaks the website… well then I guess whatever I was trying to read wasn’t really worth my time anyway.

Yay!

Tangentially related, but I love how http://ai is an actual website that you can visit. We’re so used to thinking of websites as <something>.<tld> that it’s really weird to see a website hosted directly on a top level domain with no subdomain.

John Oliver did a nice explanation

Basically they pretend to have the wrong number, but then start chatting with you, gain your trust over a period of months, and then ask you for money or similar.

So…

• normal people are scared because they fall for the gambler’s fallacy,
• mathematician is feeling fine because a 50% chance is a 50% chance,
• and the scientist is feeling extra fine because the experimental data shows that the surgery is actually safer than 50%

Did I get it right?

Yeah, it took me a while to realize it. Hence the deleted comment.

I always thought “based” was a contraction of “based on facts and logic” (or similar)

Goodness, your trolling is god-tier! It’s so funny seeing how many people in this thread, including op, are taking your comment at face value. It’s satire of the highest level: easy to miss as a bystander, yet devastating to the target.

Okay, then that means I misunderstood your comment. Seems like we’re on the same page.

I’m often hearing that 4chan is “unmoderated” or has “the bare minimum of moderation”, which just doesn’t line up with reality. Many boards have strict and specific rules about what content is allowed, what is banned, and how said content should be presented. Just listing some rules off the top of my head: you must have a minimum number of pictures to start a thread of /s/. Normal hentai porn goes into /h/, weird fetish stuff goes into /d/. No western art allowed on either. Content that breaks the rules gets removed within hours, sometimes minutes.

If you see something that you find disagreeable on a 4chan board, it’s likely there because it’s allowed to be there. They aren’t struggling with moderation. The fact that it’s still online in the clearnet after so much media attention proves that they have enough jannies to take care of the illegal stuff at least.

Funny you say that lol. I study electrical engineering, and my friends from uni ABSOLUTELY talk about linux, self hosting, and privacy. Still looking for someone to fill out the “bad thing that amazon did today” conversation niche.

Fun fact, lemmy does have a karma system, it’s just hidden from the interface! There’s even a public API method that you can use to check your karma.

Agreed, “we’ll have a law against this but won’t bother enforcing it” is a terrible way to do things. It just leads to the law being enforced against minorities or anyone the cops don’t like.

The prompt was just “Is drunk cycling legal in the netherlands?”. No prompt trickery. It gave a long response with sources that boiled down to “no, but nobody cares”. I just found this particular part of the response funny

Ugh just noticed my post technically violates the rule about AI-generated content. I feel like that’s not the intent of that rule, but I may be wrong. Mods feel free to remove.

AFAIK bread is pretty rare in east asian cultures tho. Like obviously nowadays they have it but traditionally I think they mostly had rice occupy the role of bread. idk tho

Merce deez nuts

Thanks, this was my exact intention! I’m glad you like my shitpost!
