  • Ah, r/unpopularopinion one of the subs I almost never visited cause 90% of the stuff on there was just plain stupid.

    For my part, I don’t think there’s a large gulf between racist opinions on the two platforms, just on decorum regarding slurs.

    Yeah. I’d probably make the argument that 4chan is just open about the racism while other platforms like reddit have at least some enforcement leading to it being less blatant.


  • I mean like most of us I came from Reddit. If I knew which sub the post was in I’d have a pretty solid opinion but as is I’d assume they probably got downvoted to hell for some unfair reason. Happened to anyone active on occasion so it wouldn’t be surprising. Since it has so many up votes I can’t imagine, without the context of the particular sub, that they weren’t just getting piled on.





  • We do know we created them. The AI people are currently freaking out about does a single thing, predict text. You can think of LLMs like a hyper advanced auto correct. The main thing that’s exciting is these produce text that looks as if a human wrote it. That’s all. They don’t have any memory, or any persistence whatsoever. That’s why we have to feed it a bunch of the previous text (context) in a “conversation” in order for it to work as convincingly as it does. It cannot and does not remember what you say






  • It’s complicated. Paul isn’t really a good guy, but he’s not really a bad guy either. He’s just a dude. He’s a dude who has limited vision into the future from which he cannot escape. He’s not using his future vision to pick the bad choices he’s trying to pick the best ones he can and the hand he’s dealt kinda just sucks.







  • Tabs are objectively the better choice as it allows each dev individually to decide tab width in their editors. Spaces in contrast don’t allow this same flexibility as they are used for much more than simply indentation, for example you likely put a space after each argument or operator IE func(arg1, arg2) or 1 + 2.
