Jesus Christ... What an absolute godforsaken NSA cesspool Lemmy is. The frustration of not being able to talk to real people who don't assume you yourself are not a genuine actor. This is the darkest forest.

One coin, two sides. What agenda has you looking up and responding to my 2 month old comment? Makes me think all these cries of "Russian bot!" Are projection of some kind. But you know, I don't think your shit resonates with any human.
Imagine living in India and witnessing American consumption intimately is your job. That's a special kind of cruelty.
More than that. They own the content and relationships and can use them in ways you cannot predict. LLMs gobble up human produced content because we entrusted it to corporations.

Down here, at the bottom of this thread, it's just us. One of us farted and I know it wasn't me. Who you going to convince? It's just us here. You gonna call me a fake person when it's just us? I get you can't rationally disagree with my position and be consistent with you purported values. That's a tough spot. But trying to convince me that I'm not real when it's just between us? That's a lost cause. As big a waste as sharing a dissenting opinion here. So let's shake hands on the fact we both wasted our time.
