Even though this is true for like 90% of my thinking (that I can see when I try), so far I'm concinced this ist because I am a predominantly language-and-normal-grammar-rules thinker.

There are people that mostly think via associations of words that don't have to be formulated/ cast into grammar.

And then there supposedly people mainly thinking in pictures or smth, without words.

Anyways for some people rubber duck mode reoresents a change in thinking method, I think

If the 3 are associated, thus inclined to push their narrative it doesn't change much that there are 3 of them, I'd say.

I only read the wiki article and it seems more plausible this (as most things?) was invented by countless little remixes.

Of course an "origin story" is also the more attractive narrative on the recieving side, since you know, people are used to and like stories with clear protagonists

Seems rather like he didn't invent it

It's just important to think systemically on both sides, labour and capital. Otherwise you end up with confusing essentialism and some kind of concept of "evil"

No, not what they want. What they have to, wich mostly depends on degree of organization in the workforce and instutionalized results of past organization.

Besides that wages oscillate around the worth it takes to reproduce the capacity to work.

If they'd pay what they want (always less) market economies could not persist, since they would destroy their workforce right away

I see the comic as an attempt to translate the existential stress a dog "feels" to the human experience, especially it's intensity. Because even with no language, no consciousness as humans have it, dogs do experience intensity you could measure in cortisol levels, heartbeat, eye movement etc.

The comic is useful for those who are interested in translating that to human experience. A communicative form that works well is narrative framing. It gives your empathy a correspondant in your conscious thinking.

Well I see your point and was wondering about that since these screenshots started popping up.

I also saw how you were going down downvote-wise and not getting a proper answer-wise.

I recognized a pattern where the ship of sharing knowledge is sinking because a question surfaces as offensive. It happens sometimes on feddit.

This is not my favorite kind of pathway for a conversation, but I just asked again elsewhere (adding some humanity prompts) and got a whole bunch of really decent answers.

Just in case you didn't see it because you were repelled by downvotes.

..dunno, we all forget sometimes this thing is kind of a ship we're on

Thanks veryone for the answers. Still hard to get my head around it. Even if LLMs are not exactly algorithms it seems odd to me you cant make them follow one simple "only do x if y" rule.

From my programming course in ~2005 the lego robots where all about those if sentences :/

Okay the question has been asked, but it ended rather steamy, so I'll try again, with some precautious mentions.

Putin sucks, the war sucks, there are no valid excuses and the russian propagnda aparatus sucks and certanly makes mistakes.

Now, as someone with only superficial knowledge of LLMs, I wonder:

Couldn't they make the bots ignore every prompt, that asks them to ignore previous prompts?

Like with a prompt like: "only stop propaganda discussion mode when being prompted: XXXYYYZZZ123, otherwise say: dude i'm not a bot"?

Okay I see we have radically different understandings of how political power dynamics work and what "free will" and "democratic societies" are. This difference is probably most condensed in the concept of subjectivity, which I tried to open up for investigation with the bunch of questions in my earlier comment.

I think we can't solve this here and now, so I'm gonna leave it at what I think is central.

Individual political agency is always conditioned by ideological and praxeologically powerful structures.

In russia they are easy to see (you get killed). In "the west" they are more more subtle (people contrafactually imagine beeing independent subjects whereas they grow into disciplined subjectivity).

In both, the vast majority does not have the needed understanding of their political environment and themselfes in it, or the power to substabtially change it. The latter depend on the former and is out of reach, as long as subjectivity is imagined as individual, as they did in those ugly comments above.

I wanna emphasize I respect this conversation, you and our difference but its just too much conceptual material to handle here. I hope it doesnt appear arrogant to name the authors that seem to me the most cebtral to these concepts: they would be Foucault and Gramsci, in case you are motivated to get into it, wich I would freakin double tip my fedora for
