π€ SpeakerAppearances Over Time
Podcast Appearances
And, you know, free speech is, you know, the assumption that the interaction between you and a hostile government that's for you and deplatforming.
And so, and that does exist.
Don't get me wrong, it does exist.
But it's simply not like how you interface with most people and most things at most times or shouldn't be.
So.
And within a Discord, yeah, so like the base layer is just you're not cursing, yelling, making an unpleasant environment, posting spam, porn, malware, you know, like this kind of stuff, of course.
But then there's a second level, which is keep things on topic, right?
So if, for example, it's a Discord about botany, right?
I want to mainly post about plants, okay?
If you suddenly started posting about spaceships or something like that, you might even be a great poster.
But actually, do you remember?
the Claude thing where it was all, like everything was the Golden Gate neuron.
Golden Gate Claude.
Golden Gate Claude, right?
So Golden Gate.
was an example of somebody who was certainly coherent and polite, but just off topic, where no matter what you asked it about, it was about the, you know, the Golden Gate Bridge, right?
And it was like this funny kind of thing or what have you, right?
Where they could make it just obsess about this.
This is like, you know, people are obsessed with things, you know?
And it's, you know, it's basically every post, no matter what you asked it about, monuments, it would bring it back to Golden Gate Bridge.
