My best guess is SEO. Journalism that mentions ChatGPT gets more hits. It might be they did use a specialist or specialized software and the editor was like “Say it was ChatGPT, otherwise people get confused, and we get more views. No one’s going to fact check whether or not someone used ChatGPT.”

That’s just my wild, somewhat informed speculation.

Oh my god I want one.

Wait, THIS is what people are talking about when they say the devs are transphobic?

The dev admitting he said stupid shit in private, supports human rights for everyone, and his personal views should have nothing to do with his work?

Consider the first rule of the Lemmy code of Conduct is:

We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.

Let’s examine that.

The points on Who’s Line don’t matter, as a rule - but they do matter because they give the rankings at the end of the show. If the points really didn’t matter, we wouldn’t know about them. “Points” wouldn’t be a subject on the show, and yet they come up at the end of every skit. One person even tallied them up. The points mattered to them, a lot.

Anyway, do you have information or were you just itching to make that quip?

As are the rules of most instances.

Edit: Just checked, Lemmy.Today isn’t blocked by any instances.

Last I checked .today was defederated by one instance, don’t know why. I’m open to more info.

The description and the rules are boilerplate, no bigotry or transphobia kind of thing. The admins have been helpful and responsive. I can see why conservatives would join an instance like this, but there’s nothing inherently conservative about it.

When I joined the most-visited local community was conservative, but they’re pretty tame by right wing standards. A couple of the mods posted left-leaning articles to my community, too.

I don’t pay attention to a lot of Lemmy drama unless it crosses my feed, so I could be wrong.

I joined Lemmy.today to see all the instances, they don’t block anyone. I expected chaos, but it’s richer. To be fair, I rarely browse ‘All,’ instead sticking to subscribed coms where the backwards-speaking wanderers from hexbear are more of a feature than a bug.

Now it’s my main account.

PR Edit: I meant no offense to the good people of hexbear, I’m just confused by your ways.

Reads like he was arrested for being an asshat and they might have found drugs.

Those drugs?

a police search found “half of an orange oval-shaped pill with 3 imprinted on it, consistent with a Schedule II amphetamine”, and three “suspected cannabis cigarettes.”

So… half a dexadrine and three joints, the bare minimum for a night out in Canada.
