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 -
That reminds me, I keep meaning to fuck around with the local AI assistant Nvidia released. I did fuck around with Easy Diffusion a while ago and was relatively satisfied with what I could make it do.
I guess I need to go backwards before I go forwards, so if I can digress for a moment.
I'm not an artist. My use case is to use Easy Diffusion to make art for a video game. It can make some pretty good pixel art for NPCs. I can even sometimes force it into making some dungeon artwork for a blobber with sufficient templates and prompts. This is still a work in progress on my part though, I may not quite get it across the finish line. However, the art I'm getting out of it, while sufficient, is all over the place stylistically and tonally. I'm not sure I'll even get it to spit out a coherent body of art assets for a video game. But I guess I'm OK with that. You get what you pay for, and I'm not paying anyone anything.
My problem with LLMs has been multifold. Putting aside the bias, they are so wildly prone to hallucinated information. As an assistant, you can't trust anything they tell you, and must continuously verify it. Which rather defeats the purpose of having an AI assistant. But circling back to my use case, supposedly they are good at digesting and reworking specific source documents. I wonder if I could have the local nvidia AI assistant work within some document templates to generate random RPG gibberish. We shall see.
