Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

If I call you a meat computer, or a stochastic parrot, or say "ape" enough times, the algorithm will by comparison seem closer to sentient.
this is the horseshoe curve of techbroism
Do the silicon valley techbros actually call people "stochastic parrots"? If so, they completely missed the point of that paper.
Yes, and they're not the only ones.
I've gotten into arguments in this local posting universe where that term came up and was applied to the people in it. "Actually, humans are stochastic parrots and consciousness is an illusion, therefore LLMs are actually not far off at all from meeting and exceeding everything that you are" was the summary of that person's argument back then.
