Be advised: this thread is not for serious in-depth discussion of weighty topics (we have a link for that), this thread is not for anything Culture War related. This thread is for Fun. You got jokes? Share 'em. You got silly questions? Ask 'em.

Most public models also seem to have very strict rules or post-training run to prevent anything that could be defamatory, even under bizarrely loose ideas of what counts as 'defamatory', and worse, it seems to make them stupider even as they edge up against the borders of a related question.

I've got a few test cases, but the one I'm willing to make public is Bianchi. If it's proposed as a featureless hypothetical, the actor and her motive is trivial to identify, even if the model can identify all the names. Give names, though, and suddenly it starts assuming events in June can cause a delay that started in January, and gets a lot dumber about cause and content until prompted.

In another test case, the model forgot the density of lead, and it's very hard to come away from the conversation avoiding the feeling that it did so because any conclusion coming from it would be clearly insulting.

For a different example more similar to your own, the model won't write a predicted VanDyke dissent under his own name, even though at most the man would only have complained about the stylistic choices and formatting. Maybe I should ask MiniMax H3 for it, instead?

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
