… a flow that can reasonably check itself for errors/hallucinations? There’s no fundamental reason why it couldn’t.
Turing Completeness maybe?

Useless for us, but not for them. They want us to use them like personalised confidante-bots so they can harvest our most intimate data
Idk if you’d consider it a “hobby” (even though I’d say that has more consumerist connotations), but I’d strongly suggest finding a creative outlet. Personally I believe that there’s no such thing as an “uncreative” person, it’s just that most people never get the opportunity to learn a creatively rewarding skill well (and even when they do, many are left with no time/energy after work). It’s a catch-22. Still, unless you want to keep being a cog in the machine you gotta sacrifice something.
Also, art (in a general sense) is a lot better with human contact, idk what you’re talking about that is “doesn’t work”. You gotta find like-minded people. Sometimes you’re lucky and meet like-minded people by happenstance, sometimes you gotta go out of your way to find them (even if by saying it like that I still feel like I’m underplaying how hard that can be).
A final but perhaps more important suggestion is, learn about something. Instead of binging another tv show every week, mix it up with some educational internet browsing, or books, or perhaps you enjoy videoessays more. Again, an environment where you can meet people is better, but higher education has also turned into a human grinder that spits out ready-made workers for the machine so I can’t sincerely recommend it. But it could still be worth considering (depending on where you are… definitely not worth a 100k debt).
TL:DR find ways of satisfying your inner curiosity and creativity.
Absolutely! He simply has a very original take on “freedom”, but we all know that’s a tricky word to pin down, so don’t think about it too much, and leave it to the big dogs to tell you when your freedom is being protected.
How are you defining authority? My understanding is it’s specifically referring to “power over”; via implicit/explicit coercion, threat, manipulation, and so on. I don’t see why opposition to such uses of power, and the desire to build alternative systems which don’t rely on such means, has to be a negative or “naive” or “unrealistic” thing.
Are there no anarchists on hexbear?
They can use the state to do that for them
and the company
Surely the company would never be just as authoritarian as the state!

Say what you want about marxist-leninists but they’re not “very extreme right fascists”. Do you have any evidence for your claim or are you just doing your part in decreasing political literacy?
You could share this sublemmy’s pinned post, or the megathread it links to:

We’re in the age of the technofeudalists
Ever heard of libertarian socialism? It’s the OG kind of libertarianism and is great for those who aren’t all that into cognitive dissonance.
Finally a good use for LLMs
Capitalism, etc.

When you talk about communism, are you talking about marxist-leninist / socialist states, or communism the idea(l) itself? Also how familiar are you with anarchism?
It seems that in the same way, people in this discussion have defined that communism is the mechanism for being generous and being willing to contribute to society.
You’re not far off, but yes that is more or less all that “communism” is:
a classless, stateless, humane society based on common ownership, follows the maxim “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”
There is no prescription for how this may be achieved or how it might operate. Marxist-leninists want to reach it with a vanguard party and a socialist state, and this reflects how they see revolution as an event. Anarcho-communists instead see revolution as a process, and praxis takes the form of grassroots movements, aiming to bring about the necessary social change, building systems of free association from the ground up.
They don’t exist
Of course capitalism operates in a lot of gray areas, it’s how it seems freer than it actually is. “I need food” isn’t always a problem, but it is one often enough to be systemically problematic. Abandoning one’s hopes and dreams because one must be “realistic” is the norm.
Right, and that goes for the things it gets “correct” as well, right? I think “bullshitting” can give the wrong idea that LLMs are somehow aware of when they don’t know something and can choose to turn on some sort of “bullshitting mode”, when it’s really all just statistical guesswork (plus some preprogrammed algorithms, probably).
