Not really. It’s pretty good. Growth will just bring more bot wars. But I guess bot-immigration is just a permanent trait of the internet now.

Adding to their perspective, as another kid who grew up in a poor family… why not? Rich families were always spending “insane” amounts (aka literally any amount) on food, vacations, extra cars…

$2,500 for a day trip? …sounds insane and unachievable, just like everything else in life. So, yeah, why wouldn’t it cost that much?

When you are poor, the cost of everything sounds insane.

The elected doctor. /s

Jk, I had a hard time pinpointing the target of speech as well, the final comment about holding elected office was the only indicator I found. Most people are really poor communicators/writers, eh?

Of course. Because as we know, every positive event in history has occurred while holding hands and respectfully requesting what was required.

It seemed to me that the “beautiful propaganda” as you call it… and I can’t really disagree with you… could be an olive-branch extended from the SK film industry to NK audience (because we know NKs smuggle and watch SK dramas… even a soldier in the show does that).

So idk, I like to always approach things pessimistically AND optimistically… then compare the two perspectives. In this case you’re the critic and I’m devil’s advocate.

Will it make a difference on the large scale? No. Will it delight and sway a few NK citizens toward reunification? I’d guess probably. But who knows.

What about hang gliders being piloted during a tornado by a South Korean corporate heiress? No? Damn, they never learn.

“Wow Johnson, no matter how much biased data we feed this thing it just keeps repeating biases from human society.”

Sample input from a systematically racist society (the entire world), get systematically racist output.

No shit. Fix society or “tune” your model, whatever that entails…

Obviously only one of these is feasible from a developer perspective.

Someone wasn’t prepared.

Anyone wanna play Tanaris at The Station?

Yes, similar to the web of trust, there exists a web of trust for people based on reputation. Journalistic integrity, openness, scrutiny; these are just a few of the things that go away when experts go away.

People who dedicate their lives to truth should be recognized as such, and those who lie should be recognized as well. Outsourcing your information gathering to “randoms” just means that you will be swayed by whoever can afford the best bot farm.

And if you think you are unswayable, you are the perfect target.

Follow those who express curiosity, welcome questioning, and conduct themselves in good faith. It’s an iterative process, you don’t have to resolve it in a day.

the words honestly are confusing. i can admit that. out of context “drag queen” would mean nothing to me either.

as i understand it, a drag queen is someone (usually a man?) who dresses up in flamboyant clothing of the opposite gender and takes on a character, like a stage identity, and everyone’s stage identity is individual to themselves. from what I’ve seen, the stories behind a stage identity are often as interesting as the costumes themselves, which can be very intricate and eye catching.

drag queen competitions can feature singing, dancing, showmanship, acrobatics, comedy, and are a good time, check one out if you get a chance.
