@coolboymew @ChristiJunior @caekislove @Moon @Giganova8 In theory yes. In practice though... there is no way to write a question as NON leading! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahgjEjJkZks

E.g.

- "do you want mass censorship" - leading towards no censorship
- "do you support filtering of radical and extremist content" - leading towards yes censorship
- "do you support filtering of child abuse content" - leading towards yes censorship
- "should providers be fully responsible for the content they host" - leading towards no censorship
- "should providers be exempt from any responsibility for the content they host" - leading towards yes censorship

@coolboymew @ChristiJunior @caekislove @Moon @Giganova8 I don't have that kind of optimism. With the right leading question, pretty sure you get 90% to agree that they want mass censorship. Of course, you can also make 90% oppose mass censorship by asking the questions the right way.

@Hoss That makes these AI things actually useful for trans folk - unlike their friends, who will say they pass out of politeness, and their coworkers, who will say so out of fear of HR complaints, Midjourney is plain honest. Allows them to really judge how well their work turned out. Actually can be a great tool for them to make the adjustments until they do pass.

Inb4 normal hetero woman uploading pic to Midjourney to ask "do I look fat in this" ;)

Not a bad juxtaposition. Good job.

@Bill_Boone @loveFromBirkenau @LukeAlmighty @alyx @dave @s8n @Alex The six million figure is wrong, it was actually 6,002,712. Germans can count.

j/k

@loveFromBirkenau @PonyPanda @LukeAlmighty @alyx @dave @Bill_Boone @Alex I think we all vehemently agree that the 6 million number is a rough estimate, no more than that. Or, for a more current example, just look at the number of killed soldiers as claimed by Ukraine and as claimed by Russia. There is probably not even malice there, both sides estimate using their own methods and are off from each other by a factor from 5 to 10 in the direction they like to be off in.

Even if we assume the 6 million number is at the center (i.e. "unbiased"), that still allows the real amount to be in the range from 2 to 20 billions. If we assume it is "anywhere", anything from 600k to 60M is possible.

Another "counting error" could be in who you consider a Jew and who not. The NSDAP had a vested interest to claim most of the killed were Jews to justify their actions consistently with their ideology. Like, I knew people who had been threatened to end up in a camp if they "keep spreading Jewish thought", even though they were not Jewish at all, just complaining about the government. Maybe some of those were counted in this number too.

None of this means it didn't happen though. But getting accurate numbers is painfully hard to impossible.
