    why not just let lose of this crippling desire to align ourselves with some historical identity

    Fair enough. Counterpoint: It doesn’t freaking matter what word we use. No matter what the word is, the right will attempt to poison it and stir hatred of it and assign meanings to it that aren’t real. Look at what happened to “woke”. It will keep happening, because the modern right is Fascism, and poisoning language is a fascist tactic that goes back to the very beginning. You call yourself an Anarchist; where on Earth do you live that nobody has negative associations with “Anarchist”.

    Use whatever word you want, just use it consistently. Don’t expect it to stay free of propaganda, because they do that to our words on purpose.







  • Sometimes the only requirement IS to have words on a page. Think about a disaster recovery plan, for example. Now, you probably don’t want an LLM to write your disaster recovery plan, but it’s a perfect example of something where the main value is that you wrote it down, and now you can be certified that you have one.


  • This is a legitimate use case for LLM, though.

    Not everyone can communicate clearly. Not everyone can summarize well. So the panel on the right is great for the people on the other end, who must read your poorly-communicated thoughts.

    At the same time, some things must look like you put careful thought and time into your words. Hence, the panel on the left.

    And if people on both sides are using the tool to do this, who’s really hurt by that?

    Not even inbreeding, strictly speaking, when you go back that far. At 12 generations back you’ve got lots of ancestors with common ancestors, but they aren’t so closely related that conceiving a child between them would be incest. Doesn’t have to be siblings; very distant cousins would also reduce the number of total ancestors. They need not even have known their relation to one another.

    I think it’s fair to include jizz blown into your 12 generations of grandmas prior to your conception, though, because that cum was necessary to eventually lead to you being born. Scientifically speaking I think we’re talking about all the man mayo that went into your grandma’s hoochie coochie prior to your conception, but excluding any baby batter that went into the making of your previous older sibling. So we’re only counting the clam sauce that led directly to you, not any of your siblings or any other combination of parents.
