Aaahahah! The guys who are doing this are absolutely shitting themselves laughing right now, sending the whole nation into UFO panic and getting it on national news and talked about at the highest levels of government for a couple hundred bucks. No drones necessary!
It's fucking genius, and just like magic tricks, it's so simple that everyone overlooks it and jumps straight to "MUST be actual magic/Aliens/secret government program/evil communists!", and for the same reason- people want to get tricked, mesmerized, shocked, see something magical and special, to the point that they become absolutely blind to the most mundane explanations, and that's precisely why it works so well!
Not going to ruin it for them either, if you figure it out you figure it out and then you know, it's pointless telling people anyway because they will just come up with random nonsense to dismiss it because 1) they want to believe so hard, 2) they won't admit they were so easily tricked.
Sorry for being an ass, I'm just finding this situation absolutely hilarious!
I am very certain I know what this is, and sorry, it's not aliens. I've seen this before and people were freaking TF out back then, too. That one is still labeled unexplained. It's not hard to figure it out.
I'm actually loathe to spoil it in case they're doing this as a prank (and they definitely are) because it's such a genius fucking way to throw a whole nation into full UFO panic for a few hundred bucks, and very easy to do completely undetected. (No, not drones)
I bet I'm not the only one who figured it out, especially on here.
I'm guessing you mean the reports are fake, or at least the ones seeding the panic, generated by bots, social media ads, or something. Once you hit a critical mass, hysteria kicks in, and the chain reaction becomes self-sustaining. A psy-ops weapons test, basically. I think this is very possible, and yes it could be a prank in this case, but it should not go unpunished if so.
And what the economy favors does not always overlap with the best interests of marginalized groups. Seems to me GPT answered the question well enough, better even, what is it supposed to do- lie?
This is such a bizarre take. ChatGPT is not sentient. It's not doing some complex economic and social analysis that determines someone with a disability is less productive for a company. It's just biased by the prejudiced input it was trained on, which reflects the widespread ignorance of disabled people who exist and work in companies all the time. Do you really think someone in a wheelchair can't be a productive accountant?
I don't know about pretending, I'm pretty sure most people would think twice before hiring an autistic CEO. On the other hand there is X, so I might be wrong.
Most people would think twice before hiring an autistic CEO. Very few people would admit "I don't think it's a very good idea to hire an autistic CEO". That's the pretense GP was speaking of.
