[Discussion] Victim complex final bosses
(lemmy.nz)
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Had that exact discussion a while ago. Maybe you can take something away from the comments. It absolutely made me think about how the current state (as in modus) of Israel is literally not what I support. Even though I do support the existence of a state that actively hinges itself on being a safe space for the jewish ethnicity/culture/religion.

Then stop supporting them by splitting hairs I guess? The guy you are responding to is a supporter of the current Israel government. Like just don't call yourself that.
How am I a supporter of the current Israel government? Please tell me because I never said that in any fucking way.
Thanks for the rational reply. And I definitely don't support the second definition and never said so. I just don't like the baseless generalization of the term "Zionism" because it has more than one meaning.
Listen, you're like Richard Stallman railing against the word "hacker" being used to describe security crackers instead of meaning just "tinkerer", because that's what it originally meant.
You're like him in that outside of a tiny subculture you'll be completely ignored, and you're better off coining a new word and promoting use of that instead of waging war against the semantic tide.
"I'm not a Zionist, I'm a leptozionist" or something, then define your new term. That way people can speak concisely without having to guess what the other people thinks the definition of their word is. Your new term means either your new meaning or "what's that?".
And keep in mind that every minute fighting for your word back is a minute not promoting its merits. It's makework. It's not actually productive.
