I can’t believe you worked a B5 ref into a discussion, much less operational differences between Vorlon and Shadow.

Major difference even in the analogy is that Shadows actively and destructively sought control and withheld info whereas Vorlons manipulated by parceling out cryptic messages.

Anyway, yeah… the internet is completely fucked up and full of stupidity, malice, and casual cruelty. Many of us filter it by simply avoiding it by chance (it’s not what we look for) or actively filter it (blocking communities, sites, media, etc.), so we don’t see the shitholes of the internet and the hordes of trolls and wingnuts that are the denizens of these spaces.

Removing filters from LLMs and training them on shitholes will have the expected result.

I'm technically not interested in any other kinds of discussions, but even explaining what this particular kind is takes work even from the closest people to me, so - compromises are to be made, weird posts are to be typed and sent.

That's the "planted gods for the lesser races", "taught Minbari hyperspace travel", "sent that Inquisitor guy with nice former hobbies" kind of Vorlons, right? Very cryptic.

I'm glad we don't disagree.
