Helt fast i detta tĂ€nk nu. đŹ KĂ€nner att jag vill lĂ€sa en bok om hur sekter skapas. MĂ„nga paralleller att dra kĂ€nns det som. LĂ€gger till denna till sommarens lista nu.

@dinkompismia Ha, exakt!

Ăven âhehetsbildâ mĂ„ste förstĂ„s ifrĂ„gasĂ€ttas. SĂ„ mĂ„nga felaktiga förestĂ€llningar i allt detta. Inte minst sjĂ€lva begreppet AIâŠ
Jag förstÄr att mÀnniskor inte har tid att sÀtta sig in i detta, men att sÄ mÄnga Àr villiga att acceptera magiskt tÀnkande Àr frustrerande. Jag lÀgger viss skuld pÄ den övergripande kÀnslan av hopplöshet som förmedlas av makthavare. Och decennier av science-fiction filmer. Kanske Àr det skapandet av en ny religion vi bevittnar.

Det Ă€r nog det dĂ€r som skrĂ€mmer mig mest. Att sĂ„ mĂ„nga tror att maskinerna pĂ„ nĂ„got sĂ€tt Ă€r fristĂ„ende frĂ„n mĂ€nniskor. Att âbĂ€stâ ens kan vara en gemensam sanningâŠ
@dinkompismia Ja jag blir mer och mer intresserad av att kartlÀgga alla vÀrderingar, förmÄgor och relationer vi vÀljer att ge upp eller ersÀtta.
@kolombiken Thank you! So glad you enjoy them. đ
And completely understand about the time it may take to read. đ
@sintrenton Very cool! Thank you for introducing me to this.
@isotopp I've done the same since. a few years but feel it's helping less and less. I believe I will just have to delete most apps as well.

@markhurst
Great post. I agree all the way.
@BjornToftMadsen
Very good catch. Thank you! đ
@Merovius đ Sorry. Bear in mind that this was an example and it is the full impression of the text that I have issues with. But that said, finding other ways to express this can do wonders for your text and finding your own form đ
These words from Harvardâs writing center bring home the point.
> Avoid phrases like "in conclusion," "to conclude," "in summary," and "to sum up." These phrases can be useful--even welcome--in oral presentations. But readers can see, by the tell-tale compression of the pages, when an essay is about to end. You'll irritate your audience if you belabor the obvious.

Good counterpoint. While Mark Mason takes a stance about "good" in his article I would assume the underlying theory itself does not account for a value perspective. Whether or not something ruins your experience will always be based on your own context and values.
On the other hand, one way of interpreting the whole argument is that the neo-Nazis are few in number and the reason you are seeing their arguments at all is because of the network effects that bring attention to their relatively small bucket of content. That notion perhaps fails by extension when the nazis are using AI-tools to amplify their messaging.
Your point is valid and I think the the reasoning in the opinion piece may need some additional work. The landscape of trolls and how they are amplified keeps changing.
@christof Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
@edendestroyer
Totally. Interestingly we saw this on a huge scale with that open letter on pausing the development of AI. The first source in that letter was to the Stochastic Parrots paper by Timnit Gebru, Emily Bender, Margaret Mitchell et al. The paper concludes the complete opposite of what the letter used it as a support for expressing.
So yes, I would definitely agree that source linking doesn't confirm any support for the claims made in a text, but it does provide me with an opportunity to go deeper and draw my own conclusions. Granted, very few people will unfortunately do that. Many won't even check if the source even exists.
