  • If you make enough mistakes, speed is a detriment not a benefit. Increasing speed allows you to produce more summaries but if you still need to correct and edit them all you’ve done is add a step where a human has to still read the document to the level where they could summarize it and edit the AI summary. Therefore the bottleneck of a human reading the document and working on a summary is still there. It would only potentially make it slightly easier if the corrections needed are small and obvious.










  • I’m not an expert on the application of political philosophy for societal change. I’d say that is something you should look into from anarchist literature as many scholars have done deep into the application of left wing ideology without authoritarianism.

    Though I’m also a bit confused on what you mean by “authoritarianism”. From your examples the first is an interaction between two people about public health and the other is someone not following a rule about respecting protected characteristics and being punished by it. I don’t think those would be classified as “authoritarian” unless the definition of authoritarian is “receiving backlash for my actions which can harm others”


  • I do agree that it ends up looking like a political compass, which for your average person makes it easier to understand. However this kind of discounts that to be authoritarian is also to give up many of the things that make left ideology left. Meanwhile libertarian ideology tends to naturally devolve back into feudalism.


  • Well yeah you aren’t exactly wrong, but if we are talking about the very basic ideas of “progressive” and “conservative”, Tankies are basically authoritarians with the vineer of being left wing. They in the end go against basically everything they think they stand for, but those are basically the people who are pointing to when people go “well the communist are just as bad!”

    It’s honestly rather stupid



  • Well I think it’s because we do have a concept of leftwing authoritarianism already, but it’s not called progressivism, it’s called being a Tankie. I see the similarities in that if fascist is the extreme of conservatism then Tankie is the extreme of progressivism but that isn’t really the case seeing that extreme progressivism is most of the time Anarchism.
