Please identify the author and source of that quotation so it can be read in context.

And we have to do something similar with LLMs. So it's a "no" to this: As for the thesaurus issue... I'm not denying the difference between a word and...

This is obviously a false dichotomy. One can use LLMs without committing to the latter. This is quite amusing. The regular Google results have been ga...

It's the same distinction as in Kant's answer to the question "what is enlightenment?", between the intellectual immaturity of relying on authorities ...

I don't know what's going on there. It could just be bad, lazy, or inconsistent use of LLMs. If there are any applications which are not terrible, the...

Part of that discussion has to be putting our cards on the table, and refusing to be ashamed of it. It's not a matter of using AI vs. not using AI; it...

I sympathize. But you're proposing something and instead of telling us why it's a good proposal you're saying "if you want reasons, go and find out yo...

I never experienced that.

I broadly agree, as far as it goes. It's when you line those folks up with Marx that I complain.

Stop starting discussions to discuss discussions you've been having on Quora and Reddit. I'm closing this.

They're not Zizek quotes.

:up: I'll be delving into his work soon.

@"Hanover" In fact, reading on I see that Marx actually agrees with you: EDIT: Kind of.

But who says this? Who are you arguing against? Marx's point was not about addiction but rather analgesia.

Who is this "Alistair" chap?

Ok. I'm concerned for your health, that's all. :chin:

I already understood that you believed so. I told you that I disagreed, and you just re-iterated your belief. This is not how discussion works. Which....

Which studies? I think what it comes down to is that it depends on how it's used. This is where it gets interesting.

Are you sure it's meant for drinking? Soda powder like that is often just used for cleaning, in my experience.

There is only so much garbage I can tolerate on the forum, and I'm not going to spend my time deleting posts one by one. So please up your game or be ...

Yes, I suspected so. I should have just said that I appreciated the analogy. Cool.

Thank you for closely reading my post. I appreciate it. And I'm glad you agree with my conclusions. However, I don't think we'll agree on those detail...

I agree, I like pasta with tuna and white beans. I can also recommend canned mackerel, king of canned fishes.

Okay, but my experience is that most restaurants that serve pasta have maximum one or two pasta dishes with meat (one being lasagne) and the rest are ...

Yeah and look what happened to them!

Introduction: QUALITY AND THE INDIVIDUATED (ii) "This contingency" refers back to the previous sentence: it's the contingency of the individual subjec...

I agree. And I think Christianity in particular has a lot of subversive potential owing to its universalism, which is usually in opposition with the e...

:pray:

That’s a very interesting topic, and I largely agree, but I’m not sure there’s a necessary connection with religious faith.

Well said. That did occur to me.

You cynic.

Here is a fascinating thing I've noticed about myself recently. I've begun to leave typos and mistakes in my posts, to give them the mark of authentic...

Interesting reversal. Is it right though? I think sometimes yes, sometimes no. An example of when it certainly was subversive is very early Christiani...

I hereby confirm.

Assuming you could see the Lenin above, this should now work for you: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/923649

Glad to hear it. Yes, users in the land of the free shouldn't have any access problems.

I can see it, so if you really need to see the image I can upload it to postimages and edit Lionino's post to use the new url?

I tend to upload images to postimages.org. If you can see this, it still works for the UK: https://i.postimg.cc/DfQTNDPv/Lenin-statue-at-Dubna.png

Thanks. As I suspected. A few days ago Imgur blocked UK users from accessing images hosted on their servers: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gzxv5...

All right. It would be nice if you could say so in the post, to introduce what you have to say.

Better, certainly. We tend to frown on the practice of copying and pasting essays and theories into TPF posts. It is a kind of self-promotion, which i...

I'll close this discussion instead of deleting it, since it has gained a response. If you would like to try again, please use text, not images, to pre...

Posts, particularly OPs (original posts, the ones that initiate discussions) must present their content in the form of text, written specially for the...

If this pertains to a problem with the site, can you describe what you're referring to?

OK, that suggests I could fix everyone's permissions only by resetting them one by one, which I won't be doing, so I'll ask PlushForums to fix it. New...

It’s still there. There’s just a glitch or bug or something that makes it so you can’t see it.

If you can't see the 2024 stories category under the Symposium, it might be because there has been a problem with permissions recently. I thought it w...

Very nice. Reminds me of La Mancha somehow :smile:
