I can't speak to Sabine's physics content but her social science oriented content is awful:

The capitalism video: short response, long react

The trans video: short response, long react

The neurodivergence video: very long response

I just wanted to use the bot in good faith (me having more money is good) to understand how a process works (the process of me receiving money) :3

You can't apply computers to humans and expect good results. Period. Human made text is not easily parametrizable; much less someone's manner of speaking or bodily expressions.

And human relationships as a whole, where at least two beings fundamentally incomprehensible to the machine interact, within a larger societal context that is equally incomprehensible? Acting like you can fit it into a neat model is peak computer science hubris.

And, in the end, it would only reinforce the preexisting notions of what is "healthy" or how others are feeling. I'm not sure that it applies to autistics as well as it does to neurotypicals. And I'm not certain if it applies to them either.

Even earlier, the original r/195 was left leaning.

Examples from top of all time:
Pro-socialist mockery of liberals
Cop hatred
Queerposting
Transposting before it was cool
Anti-capitalism

There was a lot more of this. Though nowadays, especially after the disaster, r/196 has lost its leftist edge. There aren't as many posts about world events as there used to be. Or about the people.

I didn't notice that it was the patient's friend's cocktail and got a solid dose of "what the fuck maple leaf country" before I noticed

I'll bite back >:3

I don't think I know enough about anarchism to really dispute that. Though how much can the proletariat gain compared to the capitalists from AI? FOSS models are limited - I don't think most people have supercomputers required for the training in their basements.

I will however question your denial of community. What definition of that word do you use? We're not in a worker - capitalist relationship all the time. See: us right now, right here. See: me with other students at my university. Class distinctions are irrelevant to that.
Hell, Lemmy as a whole is a tech enthusiast community to an extent, though it being a lesser known specific form of social media introduces forces that make this community different in meaningful ways (e.g. it's not corporate - there are fewer corpowhores here, it requires more effort to get in - people here will be on average more interested in actually contributing something meaningful).
On top of that, you mentioned FOSS models. Who were they built by? Corporations? Or a bunch of loosely associated volunteers who came together to work towards a shared goal? Is this not a community? (Those are actual questions btw, I couldn't be bothered to check)
And with some form of a community comes some form of culture and morality.

As for additional forces even in workplaces, did you know most tech workers are men?

And as an aside, where have I said that it's the tech workers who are responsible for bad, unethical solutions? I'm pretty I explicitly claimed the opposite

Yeah I'm gonna need some elaboration on that. How is AI anarchist? What exactly do you mean by anarchism? And how does this relate to my comment about the moral and intellectual (and thus cultural) tendencies in software engineering and the wider tech community?

random code monkeys aren't evil or too stupid to figure out opt-in is more ethical

Coming in with a hot fucking take, they very much are that evil and/or stupid. They're not at fault for how the software is structured, but judging by the crazes around tech hype (crypto, AI, NFTs) and my personal experience with average code monkeys, they would happily support "unethical" solutions (like opt-out tracking) if asked

The age old question of do the traps be, in fact, gay

To which the answer is that there is no gay, no straight, nothing makes any fucking sense, everyone is bisexual (or asexual) but also there is no bisexuality (or asexuality)
