    If it turns out you’re a tankie (your comment history suggests it’s likely), you’d also believe that propaganda can be both true and good, so I don’t see your point.

    I see dumb American military officials using AI, and trying to do a cold war to boost corporate AI stock prices, every single damn day. If you don’t think there’s one dumb military official in China too, I don’t know what to tell you.

      Tankie is when you’re Chinese apparently.

      It’s just not believable that they’d be using chatgpt in government over the Chinese alternatives. I very much believe their probably are people using/abusing chatbots for dumb stuff. But this specific story given the details and time it’s “come to light” is just so obviously fabrication for altman to show what a good boy he is and pushing his bot for American defence contracts.

      Your original comment was a clear badfaith strawman.

        Okay, so you do believe it’s a conspiracy between multiple parties to manufacture a lie to get onto CNN. That’s just your position. No strawman needed.

        I agree that Sam Altman is probably trying to deflect from all the (well-deserved) bad press he’s getting right now… but if he was going to make up a story, it should have been closer to when he got caught helping teens kill themselves.

          As someone who hates tankies for being imperialist simps for capitalism with a communist flag, people like you are honestly more annoying right now. It’s like American liberalism imploding made you adapt every shitty trait of tankies because now you’re the ones on the back foot.

          It really just confirms to me that the two ends of the horseshoe were really liberals and Marxists, not Marxists and fascists. You both have republican states which promise great things that they never quite delivers on. You both ignore that every state is fundamentally driven by geopolitical “realism,” and that ideology can only bend away from fascism when it can justify the move as being in the system’s interest. You refuse to seriously interrogate the ideology, probably because you really, really, really want a team to root for.

          I’m not even gonna claim that there is some mythical sweet spot between two extremes, as they aren’t really at opposite ends of a spectrum. I just want people to open their eyes more, even if they still continue in whichever camp they started.
