Thank you so much for the kind words!

I feel very passionately about Ukraine and will return to posting regularly about it, but probably not on the sopuli.xyz Ukraine instance.

Nobody really bothered to address my concerns, @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz reached out to me personally and the second I pushed back on their framing they cut off communication.

I received no response from @Burstar@sopuli.xyz for their moderation actions.

I have received lots of little messages saying that people at sopuli.xyz like me but the lack of meaningful reaction to a mod silencing criticism of Israel quite blatantly and repeatedly from myself and others is alarming at this juncture in world history.

I don’t know how to feel other than kind of disconnected, it is important to me to keep posting updates about the Ukraine War, it doesn’t stop for my feelings but I just think it is so damn frustrating and indicative how the sopuli.xyz moderation team treated me with oven mitts from 1000 miles away while likely coddling the Zionist? mod who can’t handle anyone questioning whether Israel has actually behaved as an ally to Ukraine.

Are their personal issues are too tied up in the politics of this for them to see this lucidly? What makes me upset is that the rest of sopuli.xyz just kind of fell silent about it and made me feel like I was the problem.

Ukraine has no missile interceptors, and there is no end to the shortage of them in sight now. THE ONLY REASON FOR THIS are the choices Netanyahu/Israel and Trump/US made to launch the Iran War when they did and they were told repeatedly by advisors that this would be the inevitable result. I cannot emphasize this enough.

I was banned for responding to someone’s comments about Israel too, it wasn’t even like I brought Israel into the conversation, I just challenged the axiomatic assumption the person was making about Israel being Ukraine’s ally and that was enough to have my comments removed and be banned.

I don’t know what else to conclude.

Lemmy.World is bad, avoid it and your experience will improve massively.

Lemmy.World has an abyssmal admin team that believes more rules and automation solve everything.

What a loser

Sorry can’t hear you over your Genocide, Benjamin Netanyahu, the screaming blocks out everything and I am left to ponder for how many eons Jews will condemn your ideology as an utter betrayal of the foundational tenets of Judaism.

I think all this AI technology is pretty much crap, but what I will say is that these tools are only useful when used in ensembles where multiple different models of disparate origins are consulted with the same question and then compared by a human to determine the quality of the results.

Not only are single modality trained models always going to outperform generalist ones given the way these tools work, they are also never going to be useful unless there are multiple discrete models trained to accomplish the same task being consulted.

What makes this all so broken is that nobody makes money by setting something up like Chatbot Arena where you can quickly feed the same data into multiple entirely different models, so the entire structure of the industry is problematic before even the first brick was laid down.

It is only when you input the same data into a tool like the above one that you can sketch a picture you can begin to trust. You can get quite good information out of very simple chatbots too because given comparisons against more complex ones it is far easier to establish trust, determine where innaccuracies and systematic issues lie, and route around problematic AI models if they are responding weirdly to a particular input of data.

I still don’t think it is worth the effort in most cases however unless large corporations buy up all the training data and destroy it/remove it from public access… at which point we will have a different more human problem.

The worst part about RFK is that RFK is not the only RFK in the world. One RFK causes far too much violence, murder and death, we don’t need any RFKs.

I don’t really think you have done what you say, and if you have in this thread it has been from a defensive and reactive standpoint that concedes context and nuance rather than willingly invoking them.

I didn’t say any of those things, I am pointing out you are carrying water for european slavery empires by stripping the context.

If you cannot get over the individual to understand the context, your understanding of people and history will continue to be egregiously broken and myopic.

Do you even know the history of Haiti and why it is globally relevant? You CANNOT divorce that from the context of this.

This was always the most predictable end result of the US and Israel launching the Iran War.

7.4… that is a lot of violent force, oh my, my heart goes out to Colombia.

See that man has such nice large muscles on him, don’t you just want to reach out and squeeze them? Massage them a little bit? To feel a real working man’s arms and their embracing strength is to feel the American Dream enter you, I dream about these men! Ha! - Trump probably
