Comment on YouTube secretly used AI to edit people's videos. The results could bend reality
jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 3 days agoI suppose. But have you tried to get people to care about things? It’s stupid hard. I can’t get most of my friends to stop using Twitter, which is a pretty low stakes change. Nevermind something like “eat less meat” or “walk instead of drive sometimes”
If you can make people care, you can solve a lot of problems

I have tried, and writing my last comment actually brought a lot of repressed rage out. I’ve been too lenient on my friends and family who continue to use things like Facebook and X, because I didn’t want to be that opinionated, ideological snore who won’t shut up about how Facebook is the world’s most prolific purveyor of hate speech, propping up the Trump administration, Israel, LGBT hate groups, the Rohingya genocide, housing discrimination, abortion witch hunts, blah blah blah. But the thing is that these are true things, and people should be appalled enough to never touch a Meta product again, even if it means teaching an elderly family member to learn a new group messaging app.
So I’m back to being a loudmouth bitch who scolds people for using Facebook. And X. But I probably don’t stand a chance with Google.
