I thought the left was immune to conspiracy theories
not_really··on Trump injured but ‘fine’ after attempted assassination at rally
Par for the course.
not_really··on ShotSpotter does not reduce gun violence or increase clearance rates
Australia, as in the place where people were forcibly sent to quarantine camps during a recent pandemic? Or Canada, where people had their bank accounts frozen for simply donating to protestors?

Gun control is working out great, for tyrannical governments.

not_really··on AI Companies Are Getting the Culture War They Deserve
I am doing neither, and I'm not buying what you're selling.

Meta's local models contain alignment and censoring, yet it is nowhere near the scale of Gemini's bias. I hopefully don't need to remind you that a large number of local models are based on llama.

Mistral has raised over $300 million. I'd say that warrants being worried about getting sued, yet you don't see people memeing about their model's alignment.

not_really··on Yishan Wong: "Google's Gemini issue is not about woke/DEI"
I am familiar with the flag. While it's fun to poke at people who don't know better, this sort of thing cuts both ways. For example, I could find countless examples of people who align themselves with defunding the police, yet lament at the fact that their neighborhood is now suffering from crime.

Either way, your public fear of posting a Wikipedia link says a lot about you.
