Socher says wrangling LLMs takes considerable effort because the underlying technology has no real understanding of the world

Hnggg

Fucking lmao. Imagine being as big as Joe and wanting to fight in a ring the size of Kansas where you can't go the distance.

You def wouldn't need weightclasses though, the featherweights would just have to run until the heavyweights pass out from dehydration/exhaustion. It'd be like the hunger games

Idk if heavyweights are the big thing right now. Tank and Inoue are some of the most popular fighters right now. Hell, look at Ryan Garcia, he's the talk of the town. Everyone watched him v Haney and Garcia not even that big ~~or good~~! I feel like if you asked the average young man who his favorite fighter was, they might not even be welterweight

And despite the fact that whatshisname wants to secure a future for himself and his heavyweight white children, he doesn't capitalize "white" at any point. To be honest that was the only part that was surprising.

And here are my favorite sneers from the comment section

This guy gets fucking dunked on for not reading the room and claiming that black guys might actually be better boxers, genetically.

And this guy thinks that weight classes are for wokies.

Honestly, I'm starting to think this post was threadworthy just from the comment section alone.

So there was a big, vaguely described, public kerfuffle at a beach in my city, so I logged onto Xitter to see what happened. The first (and only relevant post) was from a sinister-ish sounding bluecheck. Low and behold, I found that he writes to the Unz review.

https://web.archive.org/web/20240526210416/https://www.unz.com/article/the-worlds-greatest-boxer-is-a-white-man/ It's all about Usyk, a heavyweight boxer who's considered a pound for pound great. Usyk is a great boxer, undoubtedly. But this article is strangely constructed, borderline pointless, and brazenly racist (shocker). And honestly, reading the comments, I think the author's just trying to cope with the fact that black boxers tend to be popular.

I don't think racist cope on its own is even worth a stubstack, but this one take is especially stupid:

Since it’s assumed that heavyweight boxers are able to beat everyone below their weight class, the heavyweight champ is essentially the real champ. And until last weekend, there hasn’t been an undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999, when Lennox Lewis—a black “British” man—collected all of the belts, only to lose one of them a year later when he failed to promptly fight a mandatory challenger.

To those unfamiliar with combat sports, I can't emphasize enough how weird it is to say that the heavyweight champ is the best boxer, period. Skill - irrespective of raw strength - is super important to boxers and other people who participate in combat sports. To the point that any fan ranking a pro boxer will likely talk about "Pound for pound" (p4p) greats, not the objectively strongest fighters. And right now the unofficial p4p great is a sub 5'6" Japanese boxer Naoya "Monster" Inoue. This man is a beast. I don't need to glaze him any harder, just google him or look up what people think on reddit. Weirdly enough, he's not mentioned once.

Hell, he doesn't mention Gervonta "Tank" Davis at all. He's half an inch shorter than Inoue, but he's also considered a p4p great and is known for his high boxing IQ. As a matter of fact, he doesn't mention Terence Crawford - 5'8" also considered a p4p great - at all either. Hmmm.

That's what everybody who's into HBD looks like

He looks like the child Taron Egerton's Eggsy and Scott Alexander

Ya, I looked up that guys feed and it was all frog posting. Like literally 50% frogs and 50% white woman sieg hieling
