- Post in [email protected] attacks the entire concept of AI safety as a made-up boogeyman
- I disagree and am attacked from all sides for “posting like an evangelist”
- I give citations for things I thought would be obvious, such as that AI technology in general has been improving in capability compared to several years ago
- Instance ban, “promptfondling evangelist”
This one I’m not aggrieved about as much, it’s just weird. It’s reminiscent of the lemmy.ml type of echo chamber where everyone’s convinced it’s one way, because in a self-fulfilling prophecy, anyone who is not convinced gets yelled at and receives a ban.
Full context: https://ponder.cat/post/1030285 (Some of my replies were after the ban because I didn’t PT Barnum carefully enough, so didn’t realize.)
Oh, no, I didn’t mean the whole instance, I just meant you. I think trying to strive for standards of open discussion across the whole rest of the Lemmy world would be a hopeless task. Just a special case to ban any person who really openly expresses approval for mods banning people just because it’s snarky to do so, though, I think is a nice way to illustrate the real meaning of what they’re so openly expressing, when the snark is directed at the other boojum.
I’ll leave it up to the mods here if they want to stoop to that level, of course. I think the point is made.
Alright, sure.
I’ll bite.
