The essence of the scientific method is that it is based on being able to repeat results. If you get the same results every time you do the same operation, and when anyone else who repeats it get the same result, you can safely conclude that you have a scientific explanation. But quantum mechanics says no, you have to assume everything happens with a probability but not with a 100% certainty. It's always statistical only. The two views are not compatible. Now that gives us a problem, because QM breaks science. Yet physicists tell us that QM is real. Basically they are implying we cannot trust science anymore. I realized this tonight when I realized that quantum connectivity might mean that sympathetic magic might have a real basis, but would be very hard to prove as it would be probabilistic in operation. Holy smoke. Might we want to rethink parts of old-time magic after all? Something to ponder.

Hey, it's all about detecting patterns, right? ;)
If you check their submissions, overall construction and wording is similar, as is the range of topics.
And then there is the lack of being able to stand up to any scrutiny in the comments.
Also, a little bit too interested in the Ukraine-Russia "conflict". Just like the worldnews sub and their day by day account of the "war" (Russian Invasion of Ukraine Day 489, Part 1 (Thread #635)). Counting the days even? It's like really...be more transparent.
All good things to consider if we were to build an AI able to detect troll dopplegangers on the basis of their attributes (characteristics). Actually it is genuinely feasible to build such a tool and use it to hunt for likely alts. And for example, one could use OpenAI's GPT and train it on the speech of known trolls. That would enable searches for all findable utterances of such people and lay them open to the public.
You could for sure. I'm sure "authorities" could do so if they were so inclined, as well.
It's interesting that someone like that dude is so proud of being on the wrong side of reality. Welp, like the others he'll eventually be thinking the unthinkable.
That's quite the funny thread. Yet again, Reddit being totally transparent (hey, just like they claim LOL!).
Well, I know for sure that actually they are using AI pattern detectors on internet speech and it does feed into their databases. Our local software supplier to the feds, Palantir, does that kind of stuff. They don't talk about it but in the community we know of it. I think Israel also has that.
To me, synchronicities seem to override everything, AI-wise.
Just look at Earth. While I believe in free will and all, it's still within the bounds of the construct, so to speak.
Thiel is probably aware of the inevitability of certain things.
