  • If conspiracy theories were true, they wouldn’t be called that. They would be specific facts that could serve as the basis for specific accusations. But adherents of conspiracy theories, in principle, are not willing and do not want to use widely accepted methods of proof, verification, fact-checking, etc. Any inconvenient fact is explained as those who consider it a fact being bought or deceived by “them”. Such thinking is characteristic of a medieval gloomist, but should in no way be normal among modern people.


  • And do you know what’s both hilarious and terrifying? The Pentagon intends to use AI technologies to counteract adversaries of its country. However, AI technologies and products based on them are not considered dual-use technologies subject to strict export control. Anyone from a hostile country can simply download AnythingLLM or any similar software, then download any model from Huggingface, and use it for any purposes. There are no GeoIP checks, GitHub doesn’t require mandatory registration for downloading such software to at least verify by phone number that the user is not from countries where the export of dual-use goods and technologies is prohibited.




  • laws against homophobia and conspiracy theories

    Oh, could you elaborate on this more? I’ve also been trying to promote a similar idea lately without violating freedom of speech principles. In brief, the essence is that freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to monetize such content, nor does it mean that platforms should include such content in recommendations and subscriptions alongside other content. I described this more thoroughly in a separate post and referenced texts from that post.. Nevertheless, I haven’t heard any news about such laws being adopted anywhere or already being adopted.


  • Wrong. You completely do not understand the psychology of these people. They will interpret any of your concessions as direct approval and even a demand to be even more outrageous. The only minds you can battle are those of the doubters. I can confidently say that many of the doubters are annoyed by excessive and inappropriate, in their opinion, promotion of woke narratives. Even seemingly insignificant events for elections, such as Gamergate 2, could become the straw that breaks the camel’s back and sway the sympathies of the doubters towards Trump.
