To follow up with this, I personally do not think that AI should be telling people who do not already have an opinion on something, how to think.

That is the responsibility of the instructors and society.

That being said, it should also not present known falsities as valid topics of debate.

I don't know what the prompts were. I do not know what the answers were. These are just general statements.

I'm personally of the opinion that it is societally appropriate to punch Nazis when you encounter them, and that the world would be better if any person that is a Nazi or adheres to Nazi or Nazi-adjacent ideology were to die, and I would prefer that every other human being thinks the way that I do.

My responses are a mere quibble.

This is just a guess, But I'm thinking that it's the filters that are placed on the AI that's trying to make it be this milquetoast, ultra nice, uncondemning, servile and spineless thing rather than that there's an explicit "Be nice to the Nazis" thing.

You would probably get similar answers out of almost any evil hate group that you queried it about.

Once again, this is my assumption. I'm not attempting to apologize for the AI or the AI creators. I'm just saying that this seems like it might be what is happening.

It works out really well for Amazon because they can look like they tried to be the good guys while actually not doing anything.

I ORDER you to BE QUIET!

Part of me is tempted to go for Mansa Musa, just so I would be the richest person who ever lived. But at the same time, there's another part of me that says I should just become the king of America circa 1490.

Especially if I keep my present day knowledge, I'm pretty sure I could fabricate gunpowder and we would definitely throw a special celebration for when Christopher Columbus arrives.

A co-worker once told me that I had the most unique metaphors they had ever heard.

forget what number you're on and say, "um".

Okay, how about a game where you are a voodoo priest, and you move a doll through a board full of traps and whatnot, and then the person who you have possessed with your voodoo doll then follows the path that you navigated with the voodoo doll.

Spice it up by having extra events happen while the person is moving through the real life version of the board that you then have to use your voodoo powers to compensate for while you now no longer have any more control over the person who you've taken over.

I guess that's more of like a puzzle thing, so sure, for an RPG, How about an Isekai game where you plop down into a magical world and you've got all the pop-up screens and everything like you would see an anime and manga, but there is no Demon King, there is no great evil to defeat. It's just you exploring the world and having fun with your kind of cheat OP powers while meeting people and learning about the history of this world you've been plopped into.

You can have actual events happen by like being involved in small-scale battles between kingdoms and uncovering lost relics and dungeons that have never been explored even by the locals and building a party of people to establish your own kingdom in a neglected land.

The latter would give you an opportunity to go like City Builder Sim-style for a bit of the game.

Or if you think that's stupid, How about a role-playing game where you and a bunch of your other magician, wizard, witch, whatever friends, have built the first fantasy spaceship, and now you're flying through the celestial realms, visiting all of the other planets in the solar system, and encountering new people, and helping them to solve their problems that have nothing to do with your planet but rather with the goal of establishing diplomatic relationships with other nearby planets.

This shit is easy. Coming up with an idea for a game, a new one that sounds fun and interesting to play that covers a different storyline and gives opportunities for dozens of different authors and creators to put a piece of themselves into it and come up with interesting fun things to do, that shit is fucking easy, and I don't know why they're not fucking doing it.

I don't know how it has become so fucking easy for large corporate content creators to push the narrative that coming up with ideas for new stories or new games is actually difficult.

There are so many games that have yet to even be thought of.

There are so many storylines that have never touched pen to paper that we could experience, And I know that it is a little risky to offer something to people that they have not personally experienced before, but holy shit, why do we have to remake everything 650,000 fucking times?

I have a good friend who's been going through this stuff. He's an adult, and he is married, but he still needs support, because he's not really fully able to function without some support.

The number of infantilizing remarks that he receives on a weekly basis is honestly shocking, and across the board they all come from people whose job it is to help him.

If your views are not compatible with the moderator or community's views and they keep getting removed, you are free to go and find a different instance.

Nobody's getting paid to work here, so the only people that do the work are the people who volunteer their time, and chances are if they're constantly exposed to the same stupid shit over and over again, they're gonna get grouchy, they're gonna get grumpy, and they're gonna just start blanket banning anything that even slightly aggravates them.

You can say it's power-tripping, and you can protest it when it's unequally applied to you. That's fair, But you just have to live with it because this is not a business, this is not a customer service oriented situation, this is a "make the community as comfortable as possible for as many people as possible while maintaining your sanity" position for the mods.

I am not a moderator. I would not do moderation tasks because I see how stressful it is. I am also not apologizing on their behalf or trying to sugarcoat the situation.

It sucks for you, getting your posts removed. It sucks for a lot of people not getting to interact with those posts, but it's a take what you can get sort of thing.

The good thing is, if you absolutely do not want your post to be removed, you are perfectly welcome to spin up your own lemmy instance and federate it and then share your post with the entire fediverse without any sort of moderation whatsoever.

Even with that though, the other instances of the Fediverse can defederate with you if they find your whole thing to just cause more headache and hassle than it's worth to them.

Because it's not about saving money. It's about taking federal money and putting it into the private sector

After the federal government disbands their own internal systems the private sector can ramp up the prices just like they do with every other consumer.
