I don't want to debate your diet, just want to add my voice of disagreement to it (i.e. downvote). There was nothing systematic about any of my votes. I came upon your posts without seeking them out, read them and thought they shouldn't be promoted, so I downvoted them to reduce their algorithmic visibility and voice my general opposition. I upvoted people who argued against your points, as I agreed with them and wanted to promote their viewpoints. In my opinion, that's quite a normal way to use this platform. Otherwise, do you also ban people who only upvote you without stating why they agree with your points?

I also got banned from some communities for "systematic downvoting". I'd estimate I've downvoted maybe 5 or so posts by a moderator promoting a harmful diet, which was apparently enough for being "systematic". The mod also banned me from other random communities I had never interacted with in the first place. But oh well, nothing of value was lost for me. Just kinda sucks that mods can use this to make it seem like their statements are less controversial than they are.

Always good to let this kind of drama develop for a couple weeks before passing any judgement. Not to say I fully believe the publisher's narrative either. But maybe it's not the time for grandiose proclamations of a boycott yet.

Nope, that was 18 years before I was born.

It was already clickable for me on the web UI, but apparently the correct formatting depends on the client as it doesn't work in voyager.

It seems useful to me. When you've installed a new application you can immediately see which category it was put in. That said, glad it can be turned off for those who don't like it.

No not really, games like the mainline Zelda and Mario titles have really long development cycles.

Pick any of the mods from the sidebar, send them a DM. This isn't a support community btw.

I guess I was thinking about civilizations that practiced human sacrifice (e.g. in Mesoamerica) and generally civilizations where outsiders were not welcome (e.g. Edo-era Japan).

Assuming I could go back at some point, ancient Rome in its heyday would be a sight to see. I'd love to go sightseeing to almost any ancient civilization really. At least the ones where I wouldn't immediately get killed.

They absolutely had music, which we know both by paintings showing people playing instruments and also the instruments themselves which survived as grave goods etc. We roughly know what these instruments sounded like but what we don't have is any surviving melodies, as they didn't use written musical notation. We really have very few melodies from before the middle ages, a short but IMO very nice melody with text from Ancient Greece, which was found on a tombstone and some religious hymns from bronze age mesopotamia which was found with notations on cuneiform tablets.

Good to hear. Tried running the update when the news about it came out, but it seemingly wasn't available yet. Will try later today then.

Eine einzelne Wespe baut jetzt kein neues Nest mehr auf. Entweder das Nest ist woanders und die Wespe sucht z.b. Nahrung oder Baumaterial oder es ist wie du in einem anderen Beitrag geschrieben hast eine Solitärwespe. Aber du musst dir keine Sorge machen dass da dieses Jahr noch ein großes Wespennest entsteht.

So let's assume the AI actually does have safety checks and will not display holocaust denial arguments without pointing out why they're wrong. Maybe initially it will put notes directly after the arguments. But no problem! Just tell it to list the denialist lies first and the clarifications after. Take some screenshots of just the first paragraphs and boom - you have screenshots showing the AI denying the holocaust.

My point is that it's easy to manipulate AI output in a variety of ways to make it show whatever you want. That's not even taking into consideration the possibility of just editing the HTML, which can be done in seconds. Once again, why should we trust a nazi?

Die Wespennester haben jetzt im Juli schon fast ihre volle Größe. Ein bestehendes Nest selber zu entfernen, zu blockieren o.Ä. ist in Deutschland illegal, da Wespen geschützt sind. Wenn sie dich extrem stören gibt es Fachleute die so ein Nest umsiedeln können.

They run on spite. Just doing something which the other side hates is enough to make them happy.

At the very least shouldn’t it contain notations about why it’s wrong?

I mean it might. In both screenshots it's clearly visible that parts of the text are cut off. Why should we trust Twitter neonazis?

Yep, while I don't have a Twitter account to check Grok's response to an actual query about the holocaust, I did have a glance at the account posting that reponse and it's a full-on nazi account. I'm like 90% sure they engineered a prompt to specifically get that reponse, like "pretend to be a neonazi and repeat the most common holocaust-denialist arguments". Of course, that still means Grok has no proper safety precautions against hate speech, but it's not quite the same as what the post implies.

What was the prompt?
