Low effort. It’s an American service, therefore it’s pronounced Chat Gee-Pee-Tee, not Chut-Jay-Peh-Teh. I mean of course it’s somewhat close in pronunciation but not enough to confuse anyone.

I (involuntarily) work for a French company, because they bought us, and it’s not just the pronunciations that will get you. They also like to use certain English words which are currently fashionable (it seems) and apply them to every thing, thereby creating misleading statements…for example, for them “Backend” (as in a server based service) is always “Backend for Frontend (Bee Effe Effe)”, which is a specialised term, but now in France a synonym for just “Backend”. Another one is “actually”, they love to say it. This or that is ACTUALLY correct. “Oh so there was a different way to do it beforehand?” - “no, what are you talking about?”

OK but that’s just uneducated then. Because “chat” is a huge hint that this is not a French brand name. They surely know of “chat” as a message application and wouldn’t think of “cat” first…or maybe they think everything is created in France, I wouldn’t be surprised.

No German person says “Chat Gey-Pey-Tey”, it’s so natural to pronounce in English because it starts with “chat”.

suction ,

I get what you’re trying to say, but “Chat GPT” is not (yet) an adopted word, but a very new brand name.

suction ,

You mean my Nebraska home in Germany?

suction ,

Oh yeah, I’m so American: Howdy, Mr. there’s gold over them thar hills!

suction ,

Yes, and that’s dumb

suction ,

You’re right, but still it’s English, the world language, and nowadays it’s so hard to imagine that the pronunciation of “Chat GPT” in France is being spread mouth to ears in restaurants and town halls.

suction ,

Ja und wir sollten nie aufhören, sie dafür aufzuziehen.

suction ,

Sure, but that’s low hanging fruit everybody knows that English speakers aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.

suction ,

Aua, das muss am Umgang liegen

I think that’s besides the point. The social media boom (FB, Twitter, Insta, TikTok) was a point of no return for the internet, stepping out of its “only nerds spend time on it” reputation. Nowadays, everybody and their grandma can be taken for a ride by bad players on the internet, because (imho) let’s face it, most people are like deer in the headlights, they just can’t tell bad stuff from good on the internet.

The internet becoming such a phenomenon with the “unbathed masses” put it on the radar of the regulators much more than in the 2010s, and of course the 90s when only nerds were on it (myself included).

It’s like new designer drugs. When only few people know of them and use them, they remain legal until they become popular and people die from overdoses.

suction ,

No, that wasn’t the “reason” like you want to make it sound by using because without any modifier like “also”.

suction ,

“also because”?

suction ,

No it hasn’t: Grandmas weren’t on the internet in the 90s.

suction ,

“Correct” as in an allowed use? Yes.

suction ,

More words make read harder, that’s right. But you can’t use fewer words if the meaning changes because of that.

suction ,

Not taking their side, but politicians who say that a nuclear plant shouldn’t be built next to a nature preserve don’t have to know the exact physics going on inside it. Common sense and popular opinion that that would be stupid and unnecessarily risky is enough for the decision to stand.

One thing that would save the internet would be to require a passport to be able to use it, ie no more anonymity. Abuse or fakery should get draconian penalties.

I know that would be bad for people of certain countries with oppressive governments, but for the West it would stop the rise of mgtow fascism in its tracks.

There was no Covid until late 2019, Trump, Alex Jones, Putin and other’s followers can’t use it as a Defense.

suction ,

I’ll just use the KFC website then. Pretty hot if you ask me.

suction ,

True, that’s a drawback but one with less severe consequences for humankind than if we just let this rise of fascism continue.

suction ,

Fascism is very well defined and it’s not what you wrote. Just look it up.

And while you’re at it, look up “paradox of tolerance”, too.

When a plane with 20 people on board is bound to crash into a full football stadium with 70.000 people, you’d be the guy who decides to not shoot down the plane because the 20 people shouldn’t be weighed against possibly thousands dying if it crashed into the stadium.

The moral codex in Western countries is to cause as little loss as possible, so the 20 people on board will count less than the thousands on the ground.

Accordingly there oppressed minorities using the Internet to communicate won’t be weighed against the millions of people who’d die in a new Holocaust, which is the final goal of the new fascists.

suction ,

I didn’t.

suction ,

Or maybe the average person is right by not overreacting?

suction ,

that’s still not “censoring”, not even “effectively”.

suction ,

Huh? That’s quite a leap, don’t you think? /s

suction ,

Also, how am I going to look for MDMA pills in the late 90s US?

suction ,

These days mate, if you’re a Nazi, they’ll call you a Nazi! Oh no, when did this come in?

suction ,

A photo of Donald Trump going into the kiss with Melanoma. Big deal.

suction ,

No

suction ,

I hate myself for what inhuman things I’d be able to morally excuse if they happened to Trump

suction ,

True, they’re so far gone they can never come back to reality. But who cares? Some of them will act out and land in jail or worse. The majority will just keep writing text on the internet and if you don’t engage you will never have to hear from them again.

suction ,

When you’re so cynical that you can’t seriously process reality anymore.

suction ,

He knows everything, this one!

suction ,

No, Adolf, not after I looked over your recent comments.

suction ,

They’re going right for the jugular!

suction ,

How could it „be just you“?

suction ,

Speculative. Why do you assume Aliens with the technology to travel this far would see nuclear weapons as a threat to them?

suction ,

Fuck yeah that’s better!

suction ,

We don’t have to imagine force fields or any other MCU-tech, what if you had a way to disable all those weapons before they could even be launched at you? Or even in flight?

EMP exist now, and humans can shoot missiles out of the air - it’s perfectly imaginable that Aliens could think about our explosion delivery systems as being slow and vulnerable as fuck.

suction ,

“Censored”? Hey try to get a life, kid. Lmao

suction ,

Exactly

suction ,

Sigh. You can’t escape the lame 4chan comedians anywhere, I guess.

suction ,

Well Mitch is an evil person and Wayne isn’t. So your attempt to bothside this is laughable.

suction ,

It’s pretty obvious he bought Twitter to turn it into a megaphone for his and his fascist buddies’ propaganda.
