Angry Russians displaced after Ukraine crossed the border and invaded the Kursk region last week have vented their frustrations online to President Vladimir Putin.

The criticisms represent an unusually public show of defiance in a country where any cracks at the leader or military can draw harsh punishments.

A People’s Tragedy: The Russian Revolution: 1891-1924.

Orlando Figes, 1998

Go read it and tell me what you learn; happy?

Believe it or not, there is a huge gulf between "paste what a lying sentence construction machine says" and "require people to go to the right library."

But of course, that would require you to be arguing in good faith.

[-] g0zer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Lmao, we aren’t talking about some obscure, niche topic. You asked for a source and I gave you one…

Stop moving the goalposts; if anyone is arguing in bad faith it’s you my friend.

Google “russian revolution 1917” and read the first academic article you see. Your lack of research is not my responsibility…

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I never moved the goalposts. If you can't figure out how to paste text from and then link to a couple of websites on the subject or even Wikipedia and thus rely on the thing that tells people to put glue on pizza, don't be surprised if you're criticized for it.

[-] g0zer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I’m perfectly capable of pasting a link to a website; I chose to use a source from a book I read in college and is sitting on a shelf at my house.

I’m not obligated to do a Google search for you.

And again, the LLM isn’t doing my research for me; it’s summarizing an event that I’m already aware of.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I'm afraid you don't understand how the burden of proof works. I'd give you an easy link to understand it, but someone told me recently, "I'm not obligated to do a Google search for you."

[-] g0zer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

If you can’t be bothered to spend 5 mins looking something up then you’re welcome to believe whatever you want.

This isn’t a court case, we’re having a conversation in an Internet forum. What you’re calling a “burden of proof”, I’m choosing to call intellectual laziness.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I’m choosing to call intellectual laziness.

Now that's some irony from someone who gets sentence-construction software to write posts on their behalf.

[-] g0zer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Are you incapable of grasping that the LLM wrote a total of like 3 sentences in a 3 paragraph comment?

And yea, the fact that you can’t seem to google 3 words and read a couple articles instead of being purposefully obtuse reeks of intellectual laziness.

Sorry, not sorry.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

"I wasn't being lazy because I only used the lie machine a little bit."

Gotcha.

[-] g0zer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

So you don’t have an actual argument, you’re just going to prop up the LLM strawman instead?

Is what I said wrong? Or are your feelings hurt because I used a tool to summarize something?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You are now flagrantly violating our incivility rule. If you wish to continue this discussion, do not violate it again. If you do not wish to continue it, that is fine.

[-] g0zer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Lmao, what authority do you hold?

So, calling out blatant logical fallacies is not being civil?

Ok buddy, you do you…

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

The authority of my being a moderator in this community.

This was the uncivil part:

Or are your feelings hurt because I used a tool to summarize something?

Please read the rules in the sidebar. Specifically, rule 5.

[-] g0zer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

And that’s different from this in what way?

-"I wasn't being lazy because I only used the lie machine a little bit."

Practice what you preach.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

That would have been after you had called me lazy, would it not? I was pointing out that you were doing what you were calling me. It was demonstrative.

Do you think it is wise to continue down this hostile path with me? I think you would do best to walk away before you do something you shouldn't.

[-] g0zer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Your argument is intellectually lazy, I stand by what I said.

I’m only mirroring your attitude friend, ban me if you want. Plenty of other places I can take my opinion. You would think as a mod you would want to foster participation in the community, and not get hung up on something so petty.

You came at me aggressively off the bat; if you can’t admit that, then we aren’t ever going to see eye to eye.

Screenshotting this whole thread.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I don't plan on banning you. But I will delete any further posts that violate the civility rule.

I never even suggested I would ban you.
