The endgame is feudalism.
It’s not about money, it’s about controlling everything through the scam that is private ownership.

- Comment on Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With Slop 3 weeks ago:
Pretty good article, this stood out for me:
Something about George Romero’s 1978 film about doomed survivors riding out the zombie apocalypse in a shopping mall feels resonant today as I look across Meta’s suite of AI-created profiles. The movie’s blue-skinned corpses don’t know they’re dead. They just wander through the shopping center on autopilot, looking for something new to consume.
That’s how many of our social media spaces feel now. Digital town squares populated by undead posters, zombies spouting lines they learned from an LLM, the digested material from decades of the internet spewed back at the audience. That’s what Meta is selling now.

Yes but hopefully he will have some traumatic story that just gives him a light sentence.
It’s still wrong, but when agitate someone, the punishment for them punching you should be less.

Huh, it would be really weird if the US legalized acid.
If maga starts doing acid to own the libs maybe the would finally start questioning things.
I know I’m wrong, but one can hope can’t they?

- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
Hi! It’s me, the guy you discussed this with the other day! The guy that said Lemmy is full of AI wet blankets.
Omg you found me in another post. I’m not even mad; I do like how passionate you are about things.
Since there isn’t any room for nuance on the Internet, my comment seemed to ruffle feathers. There are definitely some folks out there that act like ALL AI is worthless and LLMs specifically have no value. I provided a list of use cases that I use pretty frequently where it can add value. (Then folks started picking it apart with strawmen).
What you’re talking about is polarization and yeah, it’s a big issue.
This is a good example, I never did any strawman nor disagree with the fact that it can be useful in some shape or form. I was trying to say its value is much much lower than what people claim to be.
But that’s the issue with polarization, me saying there is much less value can be interpreted as absolute zero, and I apologize for contributing to the polarization.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 2 months ago:
And then people will complain about that saying it’s almost all hype and no substance.
Then that one tech bro will keep insisting that lemmy is being unfair to AI and there are so many good use cases.
No one is denying the 10% use cases, we just don’t think it’s special or needs extra attention since those use cases already had other possible algorithmic solutions.
Tech bros need to realize, even if there are some use cases for AI, there has not been any revolution, stop trying to make it happen and enjoy your new slightly better tool in silence.

- Comment on Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress? 3 months ago:
What your experiencing is a kind of social decay due to people being squeeze more and more, and not just economically.
This isn’t specific to tech though, if there was no tech, they would just find other ways to make life harder.
This is just the journey we’ve been on since the Industrial Revolution where the market decides what our new environment is for the sake of profit.
The good news is that it’s a journey of ups and downs, so it could stop being dystopian soon.
