My sources are bountiful. Find the circle. My argument looks more like the chart and less like a circle. (Chart from: Robert Arp et al., Bad Arguments 100, pg. 7) P1: AI has certain essential properties necessary for its operation. Evidence: 1-Prima facie true. P2: One of these essential properties is Tokenization, and it is shared by all AIs. Evidence: 1- blogs.nvidia.com/blog/ai-tokens… 2- Blake, Jordan. The Ultimate Generative AI For Beginners Collection, (p. 229). P3: Tokenization means that AI doesn't have true knowledge, it only predicts what token comes next. Evidence: 1- Mollick, Ethan. Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI (p. 9, p. 93-95). P4: Grok shares in the essential problems of P3. Evidence: 1- Grok itself x.com/grok/status/20… 2- Grok is a species/member of AI, and thus (from P1) necessarily has this property. P5: Anything lacking true conceptual knowledge should not be trusted as one's sole or primary source of evidence. Evidence: 1- Prima Facie True 2- Knowledge is required to have concepts in the first place. Rand, Ayn. Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology: Expanded Second Edition (p. 65). 3- J.P. Moreland; William Lane Craig, Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview, Ch. 2-3. Therefore C1: Since Grok has no true conceptual knowledge (from P1-4), we should not trust it as one's sole or primary source of evidence (from p5). Evidence: 1- Grok itself x.com/grok/status/20… BUT WAIT, there's more! P6: AI hallucinates, commonly producing incorrect information. Evidence: 1- Because the output is purely predictive based on training data and feedback (from P2 and P3), there is always the chance the prediction is wrong. P7: AI is wrong more often than experts. Evidence 1- Scientific studies confirm the rate of AI Error x.com/IntroOfCoffee/… 3- Other AIs show similar rates x.com/IntroOfCoffee/… 4- These numbers (45-52%) are higher than the 15% error rate you cited x.com/Spiciest_Mouth… 5- 15% error rate verified, "de Lacey and colleagues found a 15% misquotation rate, a statistic that was confirmed by a more recent study by Mogull." sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 6- Arguing Grok is immune to this is special pleading P8: Sound epistemology does not start or end at expert opinion anyways; one should not ground their epistemology solely on one fallible method. Evidence: 1- Same as P5, just study epistemology my guy it'll help you. 2- See chart and its source. Therefore: C2: Because Grok is fallible (from P6-8), we should not use Grok as one's sole or primary source of evidence (reaffirming C1). This means not only is my argument not circular, but there are also multiple avenues to confirm my opinion. That means you are wrong in multiple ways. There is no circle. You are just dumb.

@GrandMasterFren Are you normally this willing to plug your ears and go "lalalalala" like a toddler? Your criticism is fundamentally fallacious. You and everyone else know that this very hyper-specific style of evidence doesn't exist. That doesn't mean there's no reason for believing.

I was trying to get that evidence for Jesus, but apparently these Christians don’t have it.

Jesus loves you btw

@NikaR4nd @LythelG Wow, I knew Zulu was based, but this is on a whole new level 🗿

Liquid Zulu describing his Utopian society

@RealEdFriendly I would honestly rather you just kill me. (It's Rothbard)

Spooner Hoppe Rothbard Mises You can pick only one.

@LunaEllisUK @indigold275 @TheGreatDXA @leafumn I never once said scams don't happen. You have to show someone was deceived, though. You're yet to do that. You've only asserted things like bitcoin and NFTs are scams.

@IntroOfCoffee @indigold275 @TheGreatDXA @leafumn nice thought but i'm not the one claiming scam products dont exist :/

If you don’t use chatgpt respond here I don’t use it, at all And I want to see if that in itself is uncommon now and its just me

@LunaEllisUK @indigold275 @TheGreatDXA @leafumn

@IntroOfCoffee @indigold275 @TheGreatDXA @leafumn what are you actually on about? are you stupid? are you illiterate? are you a paid shill? are you a bot? how dumb do you have to be to try and claim an investment scam holds any value at all, let alone value outside money??

Obligatory

They should use this video in every school to teach children about taxes.

@LizzyStarrrdust I couldn't pick one, because these three build upon each other in unplanned ways: Atomic Habits, by James Clear. Debugging, by David J. Agans. 12 Rules For Life by Jordan Peterson. Honorable mentions: The Art of War by Sun Tzu A Little Book on The Human Shadow by Robert Bly.

Recommend a book that will fix me. [I swear to God if you say the Bible I'll ignore you.]

@indigold275 He blocked me over this, BTW. Bro hands down lost this.

And what relevance does that have on nuclear technology as a whole? Is it unfathomable to think that we can't safely dispose of nuclear waste? Or that there is somehow no reason to innovate for effective disposal? Give me numbers. Make an actual argument against nuclear tech that isn't just vague "It seems icky" or asserting things that seem bad but aren't compared to alternatives.

Let us ignore the whole question on if libertarianism is a "rightist" philosophy for a moment. There is a much more direct question for libertarians who reject Hoppe: How exactly would you stop a private-city society with RW values from forming without violating the NAP? The answer, hilariously, is that you must form a libertarian private society of your own and physically remove the Hoppeans. Which means you have become us. You have admitted that we are right. Are you going to physically remove yourselves next? Either that, or you create a state that bans any form of private cities from existing, in which case you have ceased to be libertarian. The reality is that society needs some kind of rule of law in order to function and facilitate economic growth. Libertarianism simply replaces that law with a system that is in line with voluntary association instead of by force through a non productive class. This means there will still be rules. Libertarianism is not when "NO RULEZ". Libertarianism is when society and rule places the NAP first, and if people wish to freely association with other rules such as those that facilitate time preference ( Necessary for a society to last more than 1 generation ) then that is also within the philosophy. If you think that sounds authoritarian then you must also claim the NAP itself is authoritarian, in which case you have just become a communist but with extra steps. Which considering you included Max Stirner over Hoppe suggests this actually very well may be the case. Stop being 5 years old.

1) Why are you asking me for an objective good to prove a subjective evaluation? That's not how this works. 2) I was aware of these reliability trends when I bought the car. You're missing the forest for the trees. I don't buy an old car only because it is reliable; plenty of modern cars are reliable. I bought an older car because it struck the balance I sought: reliable, my ability to work on it, aftermarket availability. Any attempt to contest this is going yo boild down to you looking at a specific flaw and thinking I never once accounted for it. I'm not playing that game. The fact you keep trying to drag this into anecdotes, shifting the burden of proof onto me when I've cited way more information than you have, is ridiculous. It seems to me that you aren't paying any attention anymore.

@IntroOfCoffee 1. Name something whole life does good. 2. I have no personal opinions on car makes and models. But there are reliability trends with certain ones. Naming which one you have will inform me if you’re experiencing stuff typical for that one or not.

1) Whole life insurance is a form of life insurance; they are not divorced concepts. People buy goods and services that others think lowly of because of something that critics aren't accounting for. 2) The make and model are irrelevant to the point I was making. What you personally think of my car does not change that I, like other individuals, evaluated its purchase in accordance with my preferences and constraints.

@IntroOfCoffee First off, I said “whole life.” Not “life insurance.” There’s a difference. Second, mind tell everyone what make and model of car yours is? Cuz that matters.

"Pedophile" is becoming the new "Nazi."

@indigold275 @TheGreatDXA @LunaEllisUK @leafumn "Countries" as a concept also includes the government but does not specifically always mean the government. For example, it is economically accurate to say that "America invested billions of dollars into IT in 2018" despite not being commanded by Donald Trump himself to do so.

@IntroOfCoffee @TheGreatDXA @LunaEllisUK @leafumn Your buddy said countries, which is the same as saying governments since they lead said countries. People have invested into technologies like NFTs and crypto. Doesn’t mean they’re, in their current form, benefiting society.

@indigold275 How many deaths are caused per terawatt of energy for nuclear? How does that compare with other energy sources?

@IntroOfCoffee The very existence of nuclear warheads put people at risk of some unsavory individual figuring out how to make one for terrorism. Likewise, nuclear energy has many risks (I live in TVA territory and have heard countless horror stories of how bad it can be, I know this stuff).

"Why do people buy life insurance, even at a cost?" Time preference. "Why do people by junk cars?" Depending on the person, also time preference. For example, I drive a car that was once absolute junk. Literally had to replace like 85% of the car, including the engine. In my youth, though, I wanted to drive a simple, reliable car that I could work on myself. I didn't want to go to the mechanic for everything like I might have to do with a new car. A few years of labor later, and my project car now works better than it did from the factory, and I save myself lots of money yearly by not having to go to a mechanic.

@IntroOfCoffee Why do people buy whole life insurance policies when statistics suggest they are money pits? Why do people buy cars that are junk? Because people who have reason to sell stuff give only positives out of fear the negatives will drive buyers away.
