    When did a convoy of tanks ever stop because of one person? I asked claude and it said there are no historical records on this, the only time a tank ever stopped was in this case.

    claude previously said this was not a show of chinese mercy, but after pointing that out it said “hmm good point” lol

    If it was so easy to stop tanks, there would be no wars, imagine if a single iraqi could stop the US invasion (or a single american citizen in Iraq), or if a single ukranian could stop russia, or even a single russian that is not ok with the war

    Tank Man should be a symbol of how peaceful the Chinese are, no tanks from almost any other country would ever have stopped. Hell, in South America the military police drives over innocent people with their huge ass semi tank SUVs all the time.

      I agree with the content of your post but the idea of having a political argument against a Shakespeare monkey is really funny.

        Is this how people psychologically engaged with the internet previously? They just thought of it as a black box of “thoughts” that they’d interact with? Did people not realize there were/should be an actual human being behind the content of the words? I don’t get this appeal for chat bots, truly. What do people think language and conversation is FOR? It’s fundamentally social. Chat bots are like the masturbation of conversation. There’s no point other than self-pleasure if it’s not WITH another person, and while there’s nothing wrong with self-pleasure inherently, there is when people mistake it for the activity it mimics.

          Maybe it could be helpful if the chat bots were truly intelligent and didn’t just hallucinate about history, science, math, or anything factual. If I had an oracle machine that could talk to me and have a deep conversation it’d probably be useful so I could learn a lot; but having a machine that’s correct 90% of the time and blatantly wrong 10% of the time is truly useless.
