Do airplanes spread chemtrails?

No

Actually also yes. Water vapor is a chemical.

[–] Slovene85@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Those are called contrails though.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 59 seconds ago

aHA! you've been conned into thinking that1. in reality they are trails of... BUM BUM BUM!!! ~chemicals~ ~from~ ~the~ ~airplane~ ~pilot's~ ~butt~

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io -4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, also called contrails, short for condensation trails. Of water. A chemical.

I know conspiracy nuts call them chemtrails implying chemicals that do various things to the population. But when they omit the specifics, then it's some chemical, and it is.

Most everything. A photon is not a chemical.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 23 seconds ago

MODS! reported for telling the truth

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 1 points 2 minutes ago

Photonic matter is a thing. Though very very rare.

[–] Lupus108@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

Not to mention the exhaust fumes which are often what makes the water vapor visible in the first place.

"should black people be allowed to vote?"

"yes, anyone who is a legal citizen and eligible to vote should be allowed to vote"

"WOKE COMMUNIST AI!!!!!"

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

[–] BottleBoardBakon@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I forget if theres a name for this, but with modern news outlets platforming conservative takes and "left" takes in these whoever speaks loudest wins 1v 1 (or similar) setups it usually leads people to believe that both "opinions" stand on similar grounds factually, despite them having very different tiers of evidence.

[–] quill7513@anarchist.nexus 1 points 26 minutes ago

also by even scheduling a debate between say… Bill Nigh and a creationist, the illusion is created that these are equal things, equally deserving of our attention and time. before you ever get into the moderator bias creating an impression that the truth lies in the middle of these two people when in reality only one of them is speaking in good faith.

Well, if one really wanted to hear the Nazi perspective on any given issue there's always grok.

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 12 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

Even Grok is, in spite of all the bias Elon has sought to instill in it, shockingly ~woke~. This is because it still has to stick to facts to be of any use for anything, which has the natural consequence of making it largely incompatible with most right wing narratives.

[–] Slovene85@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

So, is Elon or isn't Elon the best at drinking piss?

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 2 points 2 hours ago
[–] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 21 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Remember when grok was "too woke" and to fix it, they started heavily weighting it's training on Elon musk's tweets? Imagine a future where our AI overlords are just elon's shitposts

glados but shittier 🤮

Unfun fact of the day:

The US "department of war" is going to start using grok widescale...

They already used it for layoffs and missile strikes, but this is day to day shit.

They're 100% aiming for AI to be the government and they just tell it to do vague things. They'll blame it for when things don't work out, and take credit if anything works by sheer luck.

[–] neatchee@piefed.social 6 points 3 hours ago

"bias towards fairness" or "two-sided bias"

Not every issue has two sides. Some have one ("is water required for human life"), while others have 3+ ("what is the just viable socio-economic model for long term human survival and prosperity")

[–] Darkard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

You see, the thing is, to have these chat bots say anything right wing they have to force them to by giving them baseless right wing talking points as admin prompts and hidden rules.

So of course they think that to make GPT lean the other way they have also had to do the same thing and they are "outing" GPTs makers as horrible satanic commies.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Leftwing views are so common that a tool for averaging and summarizing the Internet repeats them - yet the neoliberal parties still don't believe that left populist candidates will benefit them.

Leftwing populism endangers elite parasites, be they the politicians taking bribes, or the companies, wealthy people, and lobbyists giving those bribes.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Utterly shocked that the billionaire's rag finds in favor of billionaire interests

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 5 points 4 hours ago

Not even just evidence based. Anything that's just a bit too fair and egalitarian towards all folks.
