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

The author advocates for Marxism as a relevant response to contemporary capitalist critiques, but demonstrates a bias towards socialist ideologies.

data-laughing Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

the author is biased but it does not mislead nor does it make use of misinformation is quite the take

Misleading information focuses on capitalist social mobility and the effectiveness of socialist states during the COVID-19 pandemic.

How does one fact/bias check the bot?

idk why but reading the first few of these it comes off as like a ultra marxist, it gave redsails an F because it wasn't marxist ENOUGH

Suggested Correction: Fierce denunciations of Marx are not uncommon, but a more prevalent tactic is to pay vague respects while underappreciating the complexity and depth of his work, particularly in areas such as his critique of colonialism and ecological issues.

I mean? translation to me: these posers need to read more Marx, then get on settlers, motherfucker

Is this AI generated or dweeb generated?

It's AI generated but it's parent company is dweeb central. Spinscore is made by "Unit 221b", some cybersecurity firm whose CEO is somehow a certified Krav Maga fighter and also CEO of something called HelloSponsor, a """Cloud Based Event Management Solution""" company.

The problem with the one you posted specifically isn't even related to anti-communist bias. Here's one statement that gave it a downgrade:

Capitalism brought with it an unprecedented expansion in social mobility, both upward and downward.

Rating: Mostly False

Also, the llm is rating novel analysis (such as "Marx looked at the differences between kings and capitalists") as false, because there isn't much literature that already discusses things in those terms. So, if you don't want the bazinga bot to give you an F, you aren't allowed to say things in new ways that aren't already established in the literature. What a bright future we have

Explanation: The image highlights the cheerful rabbit while omitting the inherent danger of the trapdoor, creating a misleadingly positive association.
Suggestion: Incorporate a clearer representation of the trap's danger to balance the message.

AHAHAHAH

I had that issue. The trick I found is to pick a different option from the radial buttons and then select "reader" again. Don't do it too fast or it won't clear out.

It's an amazing review, honestly. Talking about bias towards Lenin's perspective when Lenin is the author. Also, every single argument is met with "Yeah, but what if something else is true?" "2 + 2 is 4? Sure, but have you considered also including perspectives of those who say 2 + 2 is 22?"

Labels

Score: 2
Explanation: Certain groups are negatively labeled, especially in the context of blaming Jews and Marxists for Germany's socio-economic issues.
Suggestion: Use more neutral terminology and avoid attributing blame to specific groups without substantiated evidence.

Uhhh only a score of 2?

Balance

Score: 5
Explanation: The text lacks balance, presenting a one-dimensional view without significant opposing viewpoints, critiques, or acknowledgment of the consequences of Nazi policies.
Suggestion: Incorporate historical counterpoints or criticisms from credible sources to ensure a well-rounded perspective.

Ah yes this is the problem with Hitlers writing.

Thank God I don't have to read this trash

https://spinscore.io/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.prolewiki.org%2Fwiki%2FLibrary%3ACapital%2C_vol._I

I thought it was going to choke on this.

Assessment

Bias Summary: Some statements express subjective views on capitalism and conditions in different countries without comprehensive context, implying condemnatory opinions on capitalism's nature.

Fallacies Summary: The text uses historical analogies to draw parallels between different socio-economic conditions, which sometimes lead to oversimplification or misinterpretation of complex issues.

Misleading information Summary: Certain claims about the conditions of labor in England and Germany may not provide a complete or factual picture, making broad comparisons without sufficient evidence.

Lol

Partisan

Score: 5
Explanation: The entire pamphlet is rooted in Marxist ideology which critiques capitalism heavily, potentially alienating those with differing views.
Suggestion: Incorporate perspectives that reflect a broader range of economic theories beyond Marxism.

Selective

Score: 4
Explanation: The pamphlet largely draws on examples that support Marx's arguments while neglecting successful capitalist systems that have improved worker conditions.
Suggestion: Introduce counterexamples or successful reforms within capitalist frameworks.

Loaded_language

Score: 3
Explanation: Terms like 'oppression', ‘exploitation’, and 'slavery' evoke strong emotions and present a polarized perspective on capitalism.
Suggestion: Use more neutral language when describing economic relationships to lessen emotional appeal.

False_dilemma

Score: 4
Explanation: The argument implies a binary choice between capitalism and proletarian revolution without considering incremental reform.
Suggestion: Recognize the potential for reforms within capitalism that may alleviate worker grievances without revolution.

I'm curious if, when fed revisionist writing, it says "Consider the revolutionary perspective"

~~"the mechanical turk"? Really? Do I need to explain how that's racist?~~ uh wait this one might only apply to german after all.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just a reference to The Mechanical Turk, a much older scam presented as "Technology". Ironically Amazon has a service called Amazon Mechanical Turk, where their service is described as:

Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing marketplace that makes it easier for individuals and businesses to outsource their processes and jobs to a distributed workforce who can perform these tasks virtually.

Services like MTurk (also called Microwork Platforms) offload and disperse small labor tasks across a large pool of laborers, mainly in the global south, and the clients then pass off this labor as AI. Thus making the name Amazon Mechanical Turk very on the nose.

Just like the original MTurk, which claimed to possess advanced logic that could play chess at a high level but was actually piloted by a human, Amazon MTurk uses actual human intelligence to complete microwork that corporations then pass off as the result of advanced AI.

For more information on how AI is a scam, check this episode of "Tech Won't Save Us", The Poorly Paid Workers Powering Automation with Phil Jones

Yeah I know the reference because in german it became a verb. "Turking" something is creating a fake/counterfeit version of something else. So seeing it here I thought this was the english equivalent of that and jumped the gun.

No worries comrade!
