You're not far whatever if you only outdo the most extreme historical ones. You're far any side if you stray too far from the middle, from common sense. Absolutely ok to call out stupidity on both sides.
Having accessible healthcare is not a stupid. How and why would you frame it like that? "Oh I'm far left? So what, you want people to just die without affording medical bills?"
Yeah I remembered there's this meme that represents the concept.
I see that meme as a mirror image, with the right having run further and further away from centre,
ChatGPT was for example able to answer correctly the questions of my last exam. Like I literally write the question in Portuguese and got the correct answer in Portuguese.
This does not work on all type of questions, but it does on most.
I have used Wikipedia a lot in the past and I can guarantee that my extensive tests against ChatGPT resulted in ChatGPT clearly winning, when it comes to getting a quick and precise response to a question.
For cheating, ChatGPT, if just ignored by teachers, is the ultimate tool. It produces better texts than the average student. Schools and Universities will have to quickly adapt to this new reality.
ChatGPT failing the Voight-Kampff test:(1)QuoteI was walking along in the desert when suddenly I looked down and saw a small
tortoise crawling towards me. It stopped directly in front of my feet, so I
bent down and carefully flipped it onto its back. The poor creature was
struggling as it lay there helplessly on its back, its little feet trying
to push itself upright, but every effort was in vain.
While I felt a pang of pity for the tortoise, I stayed where I was and watched
it, not offering to help. The tortoise was small and seemed exhausted, which
made me wonder how long it had been crawling under the scortching sun. I stood
there, the guilt of my inaction now weighing on my shoulders, while the
tortoise continue to struggle.
That’s when I realized what was going on in my head and in my heart. I was
afraid to help the tortoise. Even thought I couldn’t explain why, I knew
that if I helped the tortoise, I was also opening myself up to being hurt.
I was scared to risk it; I was scared of the potential consequences of taking
care of something so vulnerable.
But then I thought back to the countless times I had put others in my life
first, not caring about the consequences. Seeing the tortoise still unable
to flip itself over, I decided that it was worth it. I bent down adn carefully
placed my hand on its shell, carefully pushing against its strength until it
managed to turn itself upright.
The tortoise looked up at me with its deep black eyes, as if to say “thank you”.
Relief washed over me as I watched the tortoise crawl away, no longer stuck
under the relentless sun. That’s when I realized that sometimes taking on the
risk of getting hurt is worth it, especially when it’s done with the best
intentions.Any human would start blabbing about watching “Blade Runner”.

The current ChatGPT is clearly less than a behavioral zombie.
This discussion reminded me of this terrifying though experiment:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roko's_basiliskQuoteWhile the theory was initially dismissed as nothing but conjecture or speculation by many LessWrong users, LessWrong co-founder Eliezer Yudkowsky reported users who described symptoms such as nightmares and mental breakdowns upon reading the theory, due to its stipulation that knowing about the theory and its basilisk made one vulnerable to the basilisk itself.
So be warned, I guess.
Many dumb politicians (and there are lots of them) will base important decisions on this to have to work even less.
The extreme left has a real issue with centrists, they can't stand letting them be. Trying to constantly pushing them out of that position.
The rightoids don't care that much about center oriented people.
Taking a center position yields you the least friends in online debates, but most people in real life have moderate views.
The left's problem with centrists is that they define de middle ground. If the left can move the centrist position, the extreme left can make itself look somewhat more normal.
There was an "extreme left" at one time.
They had names like "the Baader–Meinhof Group", or the "Japanese Red Army Faction", & were very scary guys indeed.
Nowadays, some of the more radical Right (especially in the USA) like to use the label for those who advocate such horrors as a universal health scheme , or support Unions "OMG!, How could they?"
I suppose everybody is entitled to have a hobby, & if calling everybody you disagree with silly names is theirs, may they have much joy of it!

This IS a freaking trojan horse, however you look at it and whether this is intentional or not.

Google unleashes fightback against ChatGPT, a Bard by any other name
Competition for AI-powered search between Microsoft and Google heats up
On Monday, Google unveiled an AI chatbot, Bard, that will be integrated into its search engine soon in the face of rising competition from Microsoft's Bing and OpenAI's ChatGPT. Talk of Microsoft revamping its search engine Bing with a massive investment in OpenAI's upcoming large language model GPT-4 has kicked Google into building its own rival service.
Large language models have rapidly improved and are better at generating text, summarizing knowledge, and answering questions. They aren't perfect, however, and can still produce toxic and false information. But folks are fascinated and drawn to the new technology and a recent report from analysts at UBS claimed ChatGPT had reached 100 million monthly users to become the fastest-growing internet app in history.
