  • A) LLMs are not a source. They never will be. They do not have the capacity to say true things any more than any other random number generator.

    B) the reason the exact question you asked is censored is not because of Winnie the Pooh, a chapter featured to this day on tv, in theme parks, in children’s books, and across the internet. It is because the only response from the training data the LLM was trained on could generate is disinformation as forbidden by mainland law. No, Chinese users on WeChat didn’t start the meme. This is categorically false, and instead of repeating this explanation constantly to whatever racist fuck tries to justify it, sites and information to the contrary are simply blocked.

    It’s less work to fight bigots that way. Imagine if a bunch of people suddenly claimed that a picture of Obama as a monkey was made by black Americans as a total in joke about how he walked one time because that makes sense. Instead of explaining to every person that wonders if it’s true, just don’t even entertain the question.

    In the West, smart people call the technique being blocked JAQing off, aka ‘im just asking questions.’ it’s a staple argumentative technique of fascists, and it takes more energy to interact with than just stopping it at the source.

    You can disagree with that method, that we should waste time addressing every bigoted question a million billion times, but as we see in the US that simply does not work so you need to present another solution.




  • Because someone reading might have a thought that these people aren’t correct. Without opposing views these people just get worse and more degenerate over time. Within a decade the US population went from being mildly bigoted to full fascism building and actively using concentration camps. Only unlike all previous fascists they have no business sense and are bound to implode sooner than later.

    If any among those that think us democrats are left wing can be educated before the fall, the countries that will come out of the collapse of the US won’t be as violent or useless to the rest of humanity as the US has been.

    We’re stuck in this universe together, on this floating rock together. Maybe, just maybe, after the bigots purge each other, we can continue the great work and unite under cooperation. But that requires some dreaming of more than capitalism and racism.











  • “hurr durr Asian man yellow” is not criticism.

    Criticism is allowed and encouraged in China… But you have to back it up. Xi has a doctorate, all members of parliament have at least the equivalent of masters degrees. "Hurrtr duuurrrr China bad because of (insert something from 80 years ago from a completely different internal party)’ isn’t going to cut it.

    I hope you get better soon. Racists are the reason the US is actively destroying itself via Trump’s trade war. You need to be better if you want to survive.
