How does this surprise anyone?
LLMs are just pattern recognition machines. You give them a sequence of words and they tell you what is the most statistically likely word to follow based solely on probability, no logic or reasoning.

If I may ask, what is a "talkies"?
Hmm... 🤔
Yes, yes we do. If you visit someone's profile, there is a button to DM them.
summarize my client notes for creating statements of work
Huhhhhh... Last time I checked AIs were horrible at summarizing stuff: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/02/11/ai-chatbots-are-still-hopelessly-terrible-at-summarizing-news/
Granted, this article is about summarizing news.
Okay. Now that you’ve identified four candidates that LW might refer to, which of these do you think it is?
[email protected] stated LW was an abreviation of Lemmy World.
The are not any references to Lemmy or lemmy.world in that paragraph.
All instances of "world" in the paragraph:
worst ideologies, and fills the world with more ugliness and stupidity
willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this
It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop
None of the refer to lemmy or lemmy.world
All instances of "willing" in the paragraph:
They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives
It does not refer to lemmy or lemmy.world
All instances of "will" in the paragraph:
mad rush to make a machine god that will liberate capital from labour for good
It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop
None of the refer to lemmy or lemmy.world
The only word left is LessWrong, which is a forum with absolutely nothing to do with Lemmy or lemmy.world as far as I can tell.
I don't see lemmy.world there, or lemmy for that matter.
The words with l and w in ther that I do see are:
-
world
-
willing
-
will
-
Lesswrong
That paragraph:
AI is a cruel technology. It replaces workers, devours millions of gallons of water, vomits CO2 into the atmosphere, propagandises exclusively for the worst ideologies, and fills the world with more ugliness and stupidity. Cruelty is the central tenet of right wing ideology. It is at the heart of everything they do. They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this – a mad rush to make a machine god that will liberate capital from labour for good. (This is no exaggeration: there is a lineage from OpenAI’s senior management back to the Lesswrong blog, originator of the concept of Roko’s Basilisk.) Moreso even than cryptocurrency, AI is entirely nihilistic, with zero redeeming qualities. It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop it has generated in the past two or three years.
I don't see them saying lemmy.world, or lemmy for that matter.
Read the whole thing. Couldn't find any mention of LW. Mind to be more specific of where it is?
I've been quietly observing hexbear for a while now and I can tell you with relative certainty that people love to straw man them.
Here is an example:
People say they outright deny the Tiananmen Square Massacre, which is not true. They do believe 300 or so people died in that tragic day. What they do deny, though, is that Tank Man himself was run over by a tank and that people where indiscriminately shot and run over by tanks in the square. They believe the shootout occurred not because China is evil, but because some of the protestors decided it was a good idea to start killing unarmed soldiers.
I'm not going to describe in detail hexbear's timeline of events and evidence for it, because I myself do not fully understand it yet. But it seems this video somewhat explains it well.
People insist time and time again that hexbear users believe the massacre never happened to the point where they can't bother explaining themselves anymore because "what's the point if we are just going to get straw manned?"
People also like to call the massacre a "genocide", which is a massive overstatement. In comparison with the kill count of the holocaust, the death toll of the massacre is a rounding error. I would like to kindly ask people to stop calling it a genocide, as it detracts from the meaning and intensity of the word "genocide" when it is miss used like that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_genocide_theory
Any who, can't wait for people telling how wrong I am for supporting hexbear despite never once saying they were right.
People say they brigade other instances, but that's just because they are very active. In fact, there are one of the most active instances on Lemmy.
This is not to say hexbear users are angels, far from it. They are known to not mix well with other communities, and their site culture can put people off quite a bit, and understandably so. They all also known for their custom emojis, which is a really neat feature their instance has, but they do like to use an emoji depicting a pig defecating as a way of saying "you take is shit", which is rather unpleasant and quite rude of them.
These are just my thoughts on hexbear anyways. I must say I don't really hyper analyze any instance, so I could be somewhat wrong, but I don't really care too much.
NOTE: right now hexbear is using chapo.chat as their temporary fall back domain.
For those who downvoted without reading the link... This whole thing is satire.
The aim of this satirical campaign is to use humour to connect your personal needs for Earth’s resources with the evidence of just how much of these resources are now being claimed for the data centres running generative AI. And to make you smile.
