  • You’re not that far off. A combination of lack of effort + prompting the LLM to produce fiction produces, I think, a perfect combination of slop that is actively harmful to their worldview while being obviously fake about a third of the way through. Sometimes, I’ll just switch tracks midway and insert communist propaganda into a book that, for example, is examining the worldwide influence of Antifa reptiles.

    The short story it’s based off is much shorter than you probably think. About 30K~ words. I’m sure it feels that way not because it was designed to be released all at once, but because the original story was not really written to support a HBO drama.


  • I engage in unethical behavior by effectively scamming people myself. I moralize about it often and don’t feel like a great person but at the end of the day all I’m doing is a microcosm of what the worst of the worst people are doing, and the difference it makes for me is being able to live an average and comfortable existence.

    FWIW, my scheme is using LLMs to pump out right-wing conspiracy slop for publishing on Amazon. Each book makes cents to dollars but you push enough stuff out (especially about relevant topics) and you get a steady stream of income. I prefer this to materially cheating someone out of a product because the buyer was just going to buy some other slop anyway.



  • Yeah I don’t know who any of these people are but she spoke to my experience as a manchild learning to cook in his twenties. There were lots of recipes where if I didn’t have the staple already I’d be scared of it. The longer the list, the less likely I was to try it.

    I’m a great cook now but I related to this exchange, and I really don’t know who these people are so I can’t defend any other of their takes.

    I enjoy a bit of anarchist dunking but at the end of the day I see us as allies against a very imposing enemy so, personally, am not very interested in contesting anarchist theory. I will say though that your characterization of a largely ML community as accepting media narratives is probably the least charitable way you could have approached this disagreement. Then again, you were coming into an uncharitable take so I’m not holding it against you.
