The Grokipedia article on Gamergate claims that Gjoni "revealed" that Quinn was sleeping with reviewers for good reviews, but he himself later admitted he had zero evidence for that and claimed it was a typo that made people believe he was accusing Quinn of it. Why is being outright wrong a good thing?

Apparently Grokipedia give you the option to highlight that section of the text and click "this is wrong" and it will update the text or tell you why not. I don't have a account but someone should try and report back what it does.

I can't imagine anything more pointless than attempting to correct Musk's safe space. Like, why bother?

Alejandra Caraballo is a woman.

Because I dont know who this person is, this sentence gives me absolutely no information about the subject or the person posting it.

The highest post in the chain we're in:

>PSA: author is Alejandra Caraballo [...]

The reply:

>Yep, this whole article is basically just -->his<-- very biased opinions [...]

My reply:

>Alejandra Caraballo is a woman.

I'm correcting them.


Was the user mistaken or just anti trans? Were you correcting a mistake or asserting your/Caraballo's opinion? It just struck me that the word has no meaning now is all.

The existence of trans people isn't sexist.

I'm not sure what you mean. I know we couldn't agree to eliminate the human rights, including the most basic self-determination, of anyone - trans, cis-norm WASP male, progressive, fascist, or otherwise.

I'd assume it parses however the US government wants it to parse.

Lawyers wouldn't have as much job security if commas didn't matter some of the time

This administration is working very hard to make all lawyers redundant. The law doesn't really matter if the court is at the beck and call of the President.

No.


> Xee implements modern versions of these specifications, rather than the versions released in 1999.

My understanding is that browsers specifically use the 1999 version and changing this would break compat


As if removing XSLT entirely won’t break back-compat?


XSLT versions are backwards compatible.


People were saying they'd kill themself if OpenAI didn't immediately undeprecate GPT-4o. I would not have this reaction to a game being shut down.

Perhaps you should read this and reconsider your assumptions.

I'm kind of in your side but there's definitely people out there who would self harm if they invested a lot of time in an mmo that got shut down


Gamers threaten all kinds of things when features of their favorite games changes. Including depth threats to developers and threats of self harm and suicide.

Not every gaming subculture is healthy one. Plenty are pretty toxic.


Actually I just posted about this. I've experienced it first hand.


Sadly there are people who become over invested in something that goes away. Be it a game, pop band, a job or a family member.


I worked for a big games company. We shut down game servers, we got death threats. Horses for courses.


I'm kind of surprised it got that bad for people, but I think it's a good sign that even if we're far from AGI or luxury fully automated space communism robots, the profound (negative) social impacts of these chat bots are already kind of inflicting on the world are real and very troublesome.


> I think it's a good sign that (…) the profound (negative) social impacts of these chat bots are (…) real and very troublesome.

I’m not sure I understand. You think the negative impacts are a good sign?


I can't english good sometimes. I think the negative impacts get underestimated and ignored at our peril.


probably like it's better getting warnings before the freight train comes.

You know you can look him up? https://bedrockcap.com/geoff-lewis

4-clause BSD is considered open source by Debian and the FSF and has a similar requirement.


It makes Musk/X look bad, so it gets flagged.


It's used as an example here: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20205

But not actually stated it's the plan. I'd bet whatever LLM wrote the article took it as a stronger statement than it is.


Hey there. I wrote the article. While I know the version numbers aren’t concrete, I added the proposal anyways as a way for readers to visualise what the maintainers had in mind. Since we’re only at 3.4 with 3.5 in preview, it can’t be claimed concretely what the future holds. I just didn’t make that super obvious in the post.

I had to explain the same reasoning in Reddit the other day. Perhaps it’s time to take this as a feedback and update the blog.

Btw I just asked gpt to write an article on the same topic, with a reference to the Ruby issues page. And it DID NOT add the future proposal part. So LLMs are definitely smarter than me.
