Enola KnezevicProbably all of us at first tried to reason with conspiracy theorists, and, of course, it didn't work. Then we learned that they react emotionally, and conspiracy theories are designed to provoke strong emotional reactions. What if you believed that satanic cults molesting children existed, would you not try to free those children?
Later it was demonstrated that the far right, and most of the "moderate" right also don't care about the facts, and I've even read (and boosted) an article about that being the reason they use machine generated images and videos (the other reason being that those generators are biased because of outdated racist sexist training sets).
I had a passing thought: "Now that Claude Code was leaked,, are the proponents of LLM generated code going to feel stupid?" The code is still there, you just need to go a few commits back to see it.
And no, they are not. If anything, they are going to double down on propaganda, because it has always been emotional. It is like women who post about their husbands' abusive behaviour, and, when advised to leave, post a response "He is a really great husband, you don't know him like I do!" Intermittent reinforcement is both how abusive partners and slot machines work.
