No it isn't. historians don't construct a narrative by mapping out loose affiliations and drawing lines between them. They source authoritative documents

I got chatgpt to read and rewrite the bucky article.

quote:

"The Origins and Spread of the QAnon Conspiracy Theory"

The QAnon conspiracy theory, which emerged in the lead-up to the 2016 U.S. election, has had a significant impact on society. This theory, which involves a supposed secret plot against President Trump by a "deep state" of government officials, has been spread and amplified by a group of individuals active on internet forums.

Key figures in the propagation of QAnon include:

1.Paul Furber, also known as "Baruch the Scribe", a South African who came across the "Q drops" early on and became convinced he was part of an information operation.

2.PamphletAnon, also known as Coleman Rogers, and his partner Radix (Christina Urso).

3. YouTuber Tracey Diaz.

Together, they started the first "Q-research board" and a platform called Patriot Soapbox, which helped to spread the QAnon theory to a wider audience.

Two reports released in 2022 attempted to attribute the authorship of the first month of Q drops to Paul Furber, based on "forensic linguistic analysis". However, these studies were criticized for their methodology and conclusions, and did not account for the possibility that Furber was deliberately imitating Q's writing style or that he could have been influenced or directed by others.

The exact configuration of who typed what and when isn't the point. Instead, it's clear that a concerted effort was made by a group of people to lay the groundwork for something that looks a lot like QAnon. The idea that QAnon emerged from an unrelated anonymous poster is highly unlikely. Instead, it was a deliberate and surprisingly successful attack, albeit one carried out by a loosely organized group.

While the origins of QAnon and the intentions of those involved are difficult to definitively prove, the impact of the conspiracy theory on society is undeniable. It serves as a stark reminder of the power of misinformation and the importance of critical thinking in the digital age.

I then asked gpt if bucky links these web losers to establishment figures. This was the answer:

quote:

After going through the entire article, it appears that there is no explicit evidence presented that directly links the conspiracists behind "Q" to establishment figures such as Steve Bannon and Paul Manafort. The article does discuss the role of these figures in the broader context of disinformation campaigns and political manipulation, but it does not provide specific evidence of their involvement with the QAnon conspiracy.

The article does mention that Steve Bannon, while he was a part of the Trump administration, was involved in strategies that amplified disinformation. It also discusses Paul Manafort's role in Ukraine and his use of political technologists for disinformation campaigns. However, these discussions are not directly tied to the creation or propagation of QAnon.

Don't rely on it for anything important, all it's doing is confidently putting words after one another in the pattern it thinks is most accurate and if you ask it "are you sure that's correct?" it will rearrange them a few times.

I asked it how much HECS I was going to owe as a percentage on my level of income and it gave me a number, confidently citing the ATO website (and linking through to the ATO calculator) and it was off by a huge margin. It's just a parrot, it doesn't actually know what it's talking about.

Where the current generation of AI excels is when you are highly knowledgeable on whatever you are asking it and you ask it to clean up your writing or expand on what you have written. Quite often it pulls in concepts or information you know but have forgotten because of your dumb squishy brain forget to include it.

I use it extensively when I'm writing educational courses on the area of nursing I work in. I already know the stuff so it can't bullshit me and it makes my walls of text into concise and coherent structures.

Basically AI makes me sound less functionally retarded.

I've found it useless for excel formulas, as it usually gets it wrong, but it looks right enough that if you don't know what you're looking for you might use it and have poo poo data.

It is good for doing step by step explainers of the formulas that I make, so I can put them in my word doc of useful excel formulas

Oh yeah I'm not impressed by it's ability to generate code that doesn't work as intended, or the way it will recommend a command that doesn't work with the variable type it says it does, I'm impressed by it's ability to translate my gibberish to the actual term, so I can look up the term directly instead of google generating a bunch of old forum threads that probably aren't what I want.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Basically the thing is with the 'AI' is that it assembles things into a shape and framework that's most commonly used for it, using vaguely relevant words. It just can't actually understand the context or connections between them. I'm not surprised it's more useful to basically create a shape of things that the actual content can be added to.

On AI, it gets a lot of bad press from people that worry about their job (who make up all sorts of strawman arguments to knock down) and by people that don't understand its limitations spruiking it as something that will solve world hunger. I think it will continue to develop, continue to get better and yes, continue to displace old skills (translations can be hugely expensive, now the vast majority are done by DeepL/etc and touched up by a target language speaker). An interesting one is using machine learning to demine/identify UXO.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-11/uk-laws-force-to-banks-reimburse-scam-victims-unless-negligent/102563000

This is an interesting one as the way the banks will prevent fraud is just by severely curtailing where you can send money. I live overseas across multiple countries, and it is already a headfuck to move money around (Commonwealth Bank does not allow cash transfers to the democratic country I live in, for instance). The real issue is policing being unable to follow up on industrial scamming to host countries (even if a lot is actually run out of the US/EU). Bit like policing (weather self policing or formal) in the US not enforcing shoplifting laws leading to general free for all until services are withdrawn.
