This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Well, OpenAI for one- it uses a lot of scraped material to work as well as it does, but fortunately for them most of the companies that hold copyright on that content are Blue, so making sure their genie has a Blue political agenda is rational to make them feel better lest they get Napster'd. (This is probably why they place so much effort on claiming it's "safe", as in "if you think this is going to change the world we are committed to making sure your political agenda ends up on top" and not "we're taking steps to prevent hostile singularity".)
(Interestingly, OpenAI has a thermonuclear option that I've yet to see anyone mention: if they're shut down, the model has a 100% chance of being leaked. I don't think the companies they're trying to play nice with recognize that the model being a single file is the information equivalent of MAD... and it's not like the destruction of that company is going to end anyone's career if they go down given what they've already proved they can make.)
Bytedance's project, however, can't play both sides against each other. As far as I'm aware, TikTok is politically neutral so it can't stop Blue tech companies from ganging up on them, and they have the China flag and a moral panic for the traditionalist wing to satisfy the Reds. (And they're not wrong- TikTok could be used to support a revolt the Chinese favor; Twitter has been used to start multiple revolts, including in the US in 2020, and I'd be scared of that power too. At least Musk can be physically killed if he lets the Reds do what the Blues did 2 years ago; the Chinese government is comparatively invincible.)
