Every other textbook I had started with an intro of 'there's no royal road to science'. Diamat is a handy heuristic. So difficult irl dealing with people who see human institutions, understanding, and even the universe itself as 100pct set and static, if it isn't easy then it isn't real.
Dialectics is an incredible way to derive all kinds of Interesting insights and truths, and materialism, like not even bourgeois science is materialism, its positivism. The combination should absolutely be taught to everyone, every worker, there is no better way to learn to "think for yourself". But of course it is so totally alien that it is kind of hard to learn, especially when there isn't much good info for learning dialectics, let alone diamat; especially in the west. That's what makes Socialism: U&S such an amazing and impactful work
Unfortunate in the west they tend to teach dialectics (if at all) in general as a trichotomy rather than what it is.
Miss my homies over at hexbear
They're like both not wrong
I love how the Internet knows more than doctors.
When you train an LLM on a strictly curated and verified dataset that is limited in scope, it will do a very good job providing you with information about that specific topic and should hopefully give you the "As an LLM, I don't know about that..." speil for anything else.
When you let an LLM "do its own research" (e.g. train it on internet content) it starts telling you to put glue on pizza, eat a healthy number of rocks every day, and that you can run in the air as long as you don't look down.
Maybe they really are already as smart as people. /s
I'm science and I actually lied to you specifically (everyone else knows the truth)
That's not even fully accurate because the scientists are doing the studies and achieving results that the companies don't like, so the companies bury it.
They kind of backed up over their own message there.
Oh man I can't wait for the new patch on gravity
I'm sick of gravity always keeping me down
