i read a piece about how the rohingya genocide happened: in a country where suddenly everyone has facebook on their phones, whereas just a year or two ago nobody had internet at all, people have no exposure to the idea that stuff online can be fake. and they fell for photoshops

we're about to find out what happens when boomers everywhere drown in ai slop they don't have the necessary literacy to recognise. sure, gen z can tell, but we're the lucky ones.

(to be clear, i'm not implying the outcome will be genocide, this was hardly myanmar's only problem)

the friend is a reverse soul gem from puella magi madoka magica. this thing around your neck is a body the friend can't live without, but their soul is in a datacenter, and removal of the body too far from the soul will cause a fate similar to death

much like kyuubey, their marketing doesn't want you to be aware of this

stop me if i'm saying something silly here. the motte-and-bailey fallacy is basically a variant of the strawman fallacy, right? the difference is that normally you strawman your opponent's argument, whereas with motte-and-bailey you misrepresent your own argument.

hell, the motte-and-bailey can be a normal strawman even, in that you're strawmanning your opponent's response to your original argument.

i'm not missing something here, right? it's just weird to me that their respective wikipedia pages don't link to eachother…
