Terribly sorry for the confusion. I may have overstepped but not out of malice. Just frustration and a desire for expressing my frustration.
I know. I know. Someone claiming to be rational while doing the exact opposite. Which is a human thing to do, I guess? I took some time to meditate on my actions that day and found out I was trying to make too many arguments at the same time.
And you’re right. I was wrong to let my enthusiasm take the reins. Sorry about that.
Well put. That was leagues better than what I did the other day by trying to be a smartass and saying it through puns to get around AI-based and algorithmic content filtering.
Everybody thought I was being a schizo. Fair though. Although I got Ask Grok locked down for non-premium users so that was something I guess?
I think the deeper problem being implied by your analysis is what’s currently happening. The herds (or artificial social cliques) you just defined are literally being aligned. Something like what they do to AI (Reinforcement Learning Through Human Feedback), but it’s “Advertiser Feedback”.
Non-zero-sum-James has a beautiful ongoing series on the subject if you’re interested: https://nonzerosum.games/alignment1.html
(That’s one of the still living parts of the internet you mentioned, and I’d recommend a visit if you’re still looking)
