I think it's incorrect to link all the January 6th protestors with actual Neo-Nazis and that sort of hyperbole was part of the reason Democrats were out of touch with how regular people felt. Neo-Nazis are partly increasing because of the memification of racism, giving racism a more viral quality, combined with how fast society is changing and people incorrectly making sense of it through racism.

There is an Alibaba LLM that won't respond to questions about Tienanmen Square at all, just saying it can't reply.
I hate censored LLMs that don't allow an answer to follow political norms of what is acceptable. It's such a slippery slope towards technological thought-police Orwellian restrictions on topics. I don't like it when China does it or when the US does it and when US companies do it, they imply that this is ethically acceptable.
Fortunately, there are many LLMs that aren't censored.
I would rather have an Alibaba LLM just say "Tienanmen Square resulted in fatalities but capitalism is extremely mean to people so the cruelty was justified" and get some sort of brutal but at least honest opinion, or outright deny it if that's their position. I suppose the reality is any answer on the topic by the LLM would result in problems from Chinese censors.
I used to be a somewhat extreme capitalist, but capitalism somewhat lost me when they started putting up the anti-homeless architecture. Spikes on the ground to keep people from sleeping? If this is the outcome of capitalism, I need to either adopt a different political position or more misanthropy.
Gemini is such a bad LLM from everything I've seen and read that it's hard to know if this sort of censorship is an error or a feature.
In defense of Gemini, from my unfortunate dealings with Social Workers, I found many of them were lazy and inefficient and extracted a lot of resources from society without providing that much value back. There are seemed to be few objective measurements for whether they improved outcomes in quantifiable comparable ways.
In this situation you have a social worker in training, already a lazy and inefficient profession, who is so lazy and unethical they are having AI do all their classwork. This is early in their career, when they are supposed to be bright-eyed and eager to help.
I don't like Gemini as much as other models, but what if Gemini was being honest and making a valid point?
i'm so sorry to the people of lemmy who earlier said this was a genocide and whom i second-guessed
it's just blatant what it is at this point
i am poor, but is there any organization i can donate to a small token amount to show my support? I feel bad for doing nothing, I'm like the people in America who watched Hitler do horrible things in Europe and shrugged. There's not much I can do, and I don't have the stomach nor good character for a self-immolation protest, but I should do something. is there anything to do?
people don't understand computers or hacking just like they don't understand global warming or math
all they need is 1 0day exploit to get the code for the machines
and 1 0 day exploit on the machines
the idea that it's impossible or unlikely now is absurd, justlike the idea it was impossible in 2020 was absurd, which is why it was so apalling to call the Jan 6 protesters insurrectionists instead of protesters
I believe this man. Some countries with an interest in this election have brilliant hackers,just beyond what I could ever understand, but I'm not a programmer or hacker, just someone who likes linux
no one will believe or understand this person, just like no one will believe in global warming and stop believing in jesus until climate ecological collapse
oh well
i'm jewish and gay... and more scared of totalitarian "benevolent" governments than nazis. at least nazis let you die. benevolent governments think your thoughts and existence are property of the state.
