Hey uh. Slurs aren't cool.

You could've just as easily said "investors are morons" and had the same connotations without disparaging a group of people

Apparently morons once meant the same thing

ARCHAIC•MEDICINE a person having low intelligence or an intellectual disability.

I disagree, and I also don't care. I really despise this sort language policing, it is clear what my message was.

The only group of people I disparaged are Tesla investors, deservingly so.

Other types of mentally impaired people have my full sympathy, and that includes charity.

The thing about using slurs is when you respond with "but [group] deserved it!" you've implied that you're happy to use it against someone if you subjectively believe they're "deserving" and that the term should be received negatively

Incidentally, I don't refer to other types of mentally impaired people as "retard". The word has a negative connotation, similarly to "moron".

Both terms obviously should be received negatively, they are insults. That's how insults work.

I am happy to refer to more groups, not only Tesla investors, as retards too. I'll leave this as an exercise to imagination.

I'm very sorry for the person you choose to be, then

Isn't that what Grok is for? It already called itself "Mecha Hitler" so it knows what its users (and creator) want

People having different opinions to you is not "performative"

"Why do I have to beg and ask multiple times to get an answer they already know I'm looking for but still decide to withhold?"

Performative with zero correlation with the actual topic at hand, but purposefully using ridiculously leading language to bait the gullible (which apparently includes you). It has nothing to do with a different opinion, it's someone choosing a polarised position and then just streaming nonsense to support it.

And I mean, then I looked at the rest of their comments on this site and it all made sense and was perfectly on brand. Facebook-tier rhetoric.

So maybe you should save white knighting for trolls?

EDIT: the troll is now opining that these are LLM-generated. Good god.

Am I gullible or white knighting?

Or do I simply disagree with you enough to comment?

I guess you could go ask the slop machine and come back :)

I'm pretty sure the last two llm_nerd's comments were AI generated.

What I am not sure about is if it was just laziness or a subtle prank showing how AI can be used to manipulate users to more interaction in a Facebook way.

I don't think it's (all) AI generated. But they seem to be weirdly determined to gaslight me about my own opinions on their comments

Thinking way too deeply into it. Maybe that's the troll. "Look how easily manipulated people are. I don't even need AI to do it!"

>Am I gullible or white knighting?

Why do you think these are exclusive choices? You are gullibly white knighting for an obvious troll. Their other reply to you betrays that they're just a noisemaker, and you're dutifully carrying water for them.

Nah. Their reply was far more nuanced than your weird gaslighting of "you don't have your own opinions! You're being trolled by the person you agree with!"

They're handling Ukraine better than America is "handling" Iran

I mean. At least we'd still be living as a species

Oh we're not living? Am I a ghost typing this? Are you?

Sorry. Did you miss the term "still" ?

You used the world still wrong and the space before punctuation makes me wonder if English isn't your first language

Not without a big beautiful bribe [1] I assume

Yeah, not denying the bribing. But that doesn't change tax law. It still needsto be passed by congress. Does it affect enforcement, though? maybe

So much of what this admin has done "needed" to be approved by congress. They're complicit in the overreach of power

DMCA requests lead to legal consequences for ISP's in extreme cases. Botnets meanwhile there's no "lobby groups" that are directly impacted enough to 'care' at a financial level

Wrong kind of death. Taking mods away after a decade and a half of the game being modded inside out would massively reduce the creative scope of the game for players. It would become "boring" and die out

Let me guess. Was it the "trans surgery for immigrants"

I wonder if they'll be similarly "self-driving"
