A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

You're neglecting that my comment was in response to the proposition that "ChatGPT has no understanding of facts or semantics." If your paper isn't probative to that point, which I've already demonstrated it misconstrues out of apparent ignorance of a wealth of existing philosophical papers, then it's about as relevant as comparing human body temperature with processor temperatures. "I'm measuring them both with thermometers, so therefore I am using the same criteria for both humans and computers. Game. Set. Match."

You're caught up in some sort of weird pedantry while ignoring the overall meaning. In other words, you're misunderstanding the semantics of this argument.

Link one or two of those papers?

I'll do you one better and link to a Wikipedia article that explains things simply.

On the off-chance that you might complain about this not being a paper, there are links to many papers in the references section.

You may also find this interesting, although it's more about consciousness than understanding.
