Lol, most games I own don’t run on windows without substantial tweaks and compatibility patches. Even then often games are buggy.

A game with texture issues on windows is badly made, a game with texture issues on linux is a game that doesn’t run properly on linux /shrug

I strongly suspect you have some wires crossed. There have been some attempts at simulating brains but I think a fruit fly is partially done and it’s making a fair few assumptions.

It’s pretty straightforward to completely replicate the behavior of e.g. a house fly in software

Could you provide an example of a complete housefly model?

very cunning revenge!

That’s a little histrionic. A large part of propaganda is censorship, it is propaganda when the Chinese government censors discussion of e.g. tiananmen square and it is also propaganda when a mashup of laws and commercial interests prevent people from openly discussing or educating themselves on political tactics. The essential essence is controlling what ideas are normalised and permissible and which are not without engaging with the substance of them.

Not all propaganda is bad, you probably agree with some stuff like indoctrination of people with the idea they have a moral obligation to help their community, or to first attempt resolution of problems via legal means.

There are obvious differences in how and what gets supressed or encouraged but you are completely naive if you think that all states are not explicitly propagandising their populations. They are not benevolent guardians they are weird machines of flesh and ideas which project power because those that don’t get selected away. If you think being clear eyed about the unreliability of emissions from LLMs is cover for chinese statecraft you are a paranoid moron.

Try asking chat gpt how to arm an insurgent group to overthrow the government. Or get it to admit the usa is a democracy in name only.

The difference is that we don’t see propaganda for what it is when it’s just “common sense” or the values being propagandised to us are ones we agree with. There are explicit censors in chat gpt.

All LLMs have propaganda baked in to them.
