I am aware that this is a very hot button issue to ask, and had cleared it with a mod before posting.

If you've used right wing websites for any amount of time, you're bound to find someone pointing out the vast and far reaching influence of zionists in the US government, media, and finance. I'm sure you've seen the infographics showing the prolific and far reaching influence of groups like AIPAC or other powerful zionist special interest groups, as well the Epstein/Maxwell Mossad connection.
-
I define "zionist" as people with a real or imagined Jewish identity or loyalty, conspiring to promote their ideological and financial interests at the expense of others. This is done through finacialization, campaign finance and lobbying, and manufacturing consent through media.
-
Race is a social construct. George Soros literally changed his race to white, and worked for the Nazi party during the Nazi occupation of Germany during WWII.
Now, I've heard plenty of arguments pointing all of this out, but what are the arguments against it?
Since I'm capable of self-reflection, I'm aware that Black identity politics have a similar view of white people.
-
I might have a high probability of seeing zionists among journalists/bureaucrats/intelligentsia I don't like.
-
However, a Black person will look above them and see a white person in power nearly 100% of the time. After all, the diaspora of "white" people are quite prolific.
I want to try taking off my magic sunglasses that cause me to see zionists everywhere, and see a different perspective. Most left-coded media either denies that this is happening at all, or accuses you of being a bad person for noticing it. What other arguments are there against it?

Seeing the farm's harassment of Byuu/Near was what caused me to be agaist them. Reguardless of what you think of Near, BSNES and their reverse engineering work was more important than anything farmers had done or will ever do.

Zionists aren't one person, neither are any other group. Everyone has their own reasons for supporting war in the middle east. For some, it might be some religious God's chosen people dream. (which they will swear is different that Nazi aryanism, of course) For others, their goals are more pagmatic, they want Arab countries to be destabilized to get cheap oil.

I appreciate the response, but again, this isn't sentience. GPT is just text completion. It's not an intelligence, it's a tokenized list of words. Finding links between ideas by consuming the literary cannon of the human race is a really cool trick, and undoubtably helpful, but not general intelligence.
For once I’d like to hear an argument that doesn’t rely on Cartesian dualism, stoner metaphysics, or from people still clinging to GOFAI nostalgia like the Japanese holdouts.
Sure: I'll consider AI to be possibly sentient when it can tell me a thought it had 10 minutes ago, and then prove that it actually had that thought by showing me a peek into the workings of it's mind.

Seems like a lot of words to say very little. You needed 1069 words to say Australians wanted to be white untill 1960?

I'm aware that Jewish people are smart, and intelligence is a predictor of improved life outcomes. However, you'll notice my post only contains the word jewish once, as I'm specifically referring to the subgroup of zionists. Bernie Sanders (or at least, the idealized 2016 version of him) is "Jewish" but very clearly has a different agenda then zionists do. Netanyahu is clearly a zionist, but is becoming unpopular with Israelis.
Basically, Jews have been so poorly treated by others that they were funneled into doing things others did not want to
I've heard this one before, but I have yet to hear a convincing argument that as to how money lending is an oppressive job. If you were to oppress a people group with high intelligence and labor skills, it would probably look like the Nazis forcing interned Jews to assemble radios and electronic components.

I can't see any mainstream social media site besides reddit being valuable for AI training data. Twitter isn't longform enough.

Well, the question is what is the difference between real imagine, and a fake image that is visually indistinguishable on a technical level from a real one? (Assuming you do not have an external knowledge about the subject matter in the image.)

It's funny because I figured EA would take several years to go mainstream, and I was trying to sound prophetic in a story I was writing about a year ago, but it became real wayyy faster than I expected.

To add on to what others said, their culture around "lowcows" has become really toxic. You could perhaps describe the userbase as looking for blood rather than milk. Many famers are downright hateful to the lolcows. The alternate crowd (like rdrama) is more akin to watching wierd and bizarre indie movies: It's wierd, but in an interesting or morbidly facinating way.

I don't really forsee this as becoming a thing any time soon. Sure, there will always been outlandish people that end up in vice news articles, but the human body remains the most versitile form in terms of ergonomics and utility.

Byuu's emulation and reverse engineering efforts were more meaningful than anything KF has done. Privacy is a requirement for free speech.

Language models aren't sentience. When you ask the AI if it feels pain, and it generates some thoughtful paragraph about it being a machine or whatever, that's not 'the AI' sharing it's thoughts. It's a text completion algorithm generating some text based off human literature about fantasy AI personas waxing philosophical.

Probably a bit tangential, but I believe in a number of "pesudoscience" Parapsychological phenomena, such as remote viewing and micro psychokinesis - Particularly of random number generators.

The problem with trying to study modern history is that the world is simply changing too quickly for definitive conclusions! The whole truth is rarely revealed when things happen. Today, people think google is immortal, and yet, 20 years from now, we'll look back at the memoirs of the executives and project directors and see that the writing was on the wall when they unambiguously choked on AI development and dropped the ball to Microsoft and Meta.
Studying the past is much easier, since rumors get cleaned up and facts get checked.
Terrible idpol response:
-
There aren't state laws mandating Irish potato famine education courses in 23 out of 50 US states.
-
The US doesn't give disproportionate amounts of money to Ireland, and then also have to give money to their neighbors to incentivize them to play nice with the irish.
-
Ireland has never been caught spying on US politicians or planting Stingray units around the White house. (However, in fact checking this, I did discover that the IRA got weapons from the USSR once.)
-
Our relationship with England is not actively sabotaged by the Irish.
While clever, this works the same for Italians or Germans. You could even stretch it to work for Asians too.

Well, the obvious one is that if you acknowledge your weaknesses, you can better address them. For example, we all agree that boys are generally more aggressive than girls, and therefore benefit more from special instruction to control their anger.
As a hypothetical example, lets say you had a race of green people who were biologically adapted to utilization of violence, corporal punishment, and emphasis on the spoken word. If you wanted green people to have better quality-of-life outcomes in a technologically advanced liberal society, you would want to place special emphasis on teaching green children to suppress their emotional intuitions in favor of liberal platitudes. (I.E. Sticks and Stones...)

No, it's not unreasonable to ask people to use content warnings. Ousting people for having sensitivities is what purity spiralers do. I'm particularly thinking of this effect in """right""" wing communities where there will be extremely vocal people who insist on spamming NIGGER at every opportunity, despite the fact that this type of user doesn't make original content, doesn't contribute to the codebase, doesn't effortpost, and refuses to be nice to people who do. They end up chasing off everyone else and cutting off the fresh flow of content. Any online community is 100% better off without these types of people. It's perfectly reasonable to ask people to spoiler-ize sensitive content. Not everyone wants to see gore, porn, or whatever, and that's OK.
Sure, SJWs say something that sounds similar, but SJW types practice their own forms of purity spiraling. If you don't post a black square, you can't be in the group. If you don't allow me to inject my political views into every topic, we can't be friends.

I personally would like to see some kind of emoji reaction system like discord. A clown face, smile, or confused face can all be quite descriptive to gauge public opinion on a post. I don't downvote at all, unless something is especially poorly written.

Pop culture's recent facination with gender-non-conforming males, namely "femboys" is particularly interesting. Based on my observations, most tend to be straight, gynephillic, sometimes bicurious young men who previously lacked a "goal body" that they wanted to achive. They're prehaps not traditionally masculine, have intelectual interests, and really do not aspire to the image of masculinity that society pushes: a dumb, uncaring, drunkard, heavyset dudebro who despises intelectualism and lacks emotional sensitivty. Thus they get fat and don't take care of themselves. Then along comes alternative depections of masculinty, you can be a lithe yet toned, slim bodied male with (debatable) good fashion sense. Not everyone actually has the discipline to actually get fit, of course, but enough people like the idea that's it's practially mainstream.
Also as far as the neogenitalia thing goes, FtMs will probably still want penises, but I highly suspect MtFs wanting vaginas will be a passing fad. Probably a really wierd prediction to make, but, although many men will likely want to become women, the future is absolutely phallocentric.
I rewrote this comment like 5 times, but I would concede to the feminists that women probably do deserve some special privileges, as they have been subjected to unfair evolutionary forces.
For a large part of human history, women have been subject to evolutionary pressure that removes their agency. Being unable to fight back against men's sexual advances results in a successful propagation of genes for weakness and mental vulnerability. As such, women tend to have a biological predisposition to certain "negative" traits.
This basically a vulgar version of the radfem argument, if I understand it correctly, right? Same reason they say all sex with men is rape: All the women who didn't like rape were killed off, resulting in the genetic stock of the human race consisting of women who "like" rape.
