    when something as simple as a weather report comes off as partisan shit talk to you, maybe some self examination is in order, celebrate the country by touching some grass

          No the government does. Biden had it. Now Trump has it.

          WHY WILL TRUMP NOT USE THE WEATHER WEAPONS AGAINST AMERICA’S ENEMIES?! IS HE IN CAHOOTS WITH THEM?!?

        Don’t you know you can only add weather zones with sharpie? To remove an area about to be hit by a storm, you need a reverse sharpie. Good luck finding one of those on short notice.

      RapidResponse47 is more in touch with the current political reality than you. Weather reports are partisan now. Reporting the weather truthfully makes you an enemy of the Trump administration, and weather forecasters are actively being purged depending on their willingness to lie for the sake of far-right narratives.

      The Weather Channel chose to not just issue a weather report for Washington DC, but for a specific politically charged event whose attendance will undoubtedly be used as a measure of Trump’s popular support. It chose to warn people, dissuading them from attending, which will reflect poorly on Trump.

      The Weather Channel chose to prioritize the truth and people’s safety over Trump’s political standing.

      The Weather Channel is an enemy to be brought to heel.

      This is politics in 2026. Go touch grass and watch people get dragged from their houses to be put in a concentration camp.

    See that em-dash after “years”? That tweet was written by an LLM. No wonder it makes no actual sense, an AI model has no idea that it’s ridiculous to berate a weather report, it’s just following instructions to reply with “AMERICA GREAT” to anything it thinks is “unpatriotic”.

      Oh yeah, the emoji too. Fffuuuck

      It unfortunately does make sense, it’s just… VERY polarizing and inflammatory and sensitive and defensive

      thank god we still have that little tell. They’ll remove it and at some point we won’t fucking know what’s AI except when a moron suddenly says something coherent.

        That’s kinda overly anthropomorphising. They are a statistical model that uses the number of occurrences of tokens in association with each other to predict the most likely next token. You can do that with pretty much any training data and any text. The current very large models will have almost any kind of text in their training data, including unhinged manifestos, racist tweets, etc.

        Since models are stateless, getting them to produce that kind of output doesn’t change or worsen them in any way.

          It’s not that simple. You can adjust outcomes by weighting. You can adjust outcomes in a myriad ways. Yeah, sure, in a trivial sense it’s just statistics, but that’s like saying that computer communication is just a bunch of ones and zeros. It misses a lot of the point.

          It really gets way more complex and most certainly can be adapted and tuned in various ways.
