Since “AI” doesn’t exist, anything can be “AI”.
For example, a translation program is not “AI”.
But people do want features like translation regardless of how they’re dishonestly marketed.

Javascript? Y’all aren’t using text-based browsers??!?! Sellouts. \s
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 16 hours ago:
Translations? Tab grouping? Link previews?
These very simple features (which have nothing to do with imaginary “AI”) are probably useful to lots of people.

The only LLM here is the chatbot which nobody is being forced to use.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 16 hours ago:
There is literally no “AI” whatsoever.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 16 hours ago:
You mean like translations of text?
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 17 hours ago:
Nah, there is no “AI” grouping your tabs. It’s just a grift.
- Comment on AI controls is coming to Firefox 17 hours ago:
And as always… There is no actual “AI” being used here.
It’s especially hilarious how translation programs, which have existed for decades, are suddenly considered “AI”. Likewise with all of “AI”…

I fail to see how many of the tactics of fascism
Leftism overtly opposes the tools of fascism: sexism, racism, imperialism, nationalism, etc.

Bruh do some basic research… Here’s a 101:

Both sides of the aisle are right-wing.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Yes and “both sides of the aisle” are fascist.

to claim that Epstein was a Mossad agent,
1000% Accurate. Tons of evidence. Openly served foreign (zionist) interests.
Maybe he wasn’t officially hired and trained by Mossad, but that’s just formalism.
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Your problem is assuming that “Mussad level training” is some kind of complicated thing.
It’s just another course on racism, murder, terrorism, etc.

Fascists are incompetent regardless of nationality.

Yet another fash-enabling take from the NYTrash. Please don’t post this rag of imperial disinformation.
Here’s a better take: Was Alex Pretti the subject of a targeted assassination?

Critical support… You can’t be critical of capitalism while promoting “ownership” as the alternative. I’ve seen this kind of meme before and I don’t think it’s a helpful approach. Feels like recuperation.

“IG is a drug”
This is not just pseudo-science. It’s literally just a false statement.
It’s ok if people want to compare “social media” to a drug, but there’s any meaningful evidence for those claims either so that’s pseudo-science too.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
Social media is a drug tho. Gotta bomb them too.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
The “social media is a drug” people are interested in using this pseudo-science to promote more of their propaganda and eliminate counter-narratives.
TikTok? Anybody remember what happened there? Exactly this.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
100%. Haven’t these people been watching what happened to TikTok?
Or are they in denial because they were just as rabid about attacking TikTok?
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
Y’all are literally calling for this website to be banned for the sake of pseudo-science.
Lots of people are interested in this.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
Lemmy might fit within the technical definition of social media, but don’t be so obtuse as to equate an anonymous community message board with the likes of Facebook and IG that are tied to your identity,
Do you really think the state and its fascists care about this differentiation?
They will literally come after Lemmy the first chance that they get.
And it will be at least partially a result of y’all libs calling for it.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
Who is downvoting this? jfc…
Y’all are rabid about this “social media” but give a pass to literal fascism.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
Agreed, but now they have tools that enable them to do it with unprecedented impact.
Yes tools like TikTok that libs lobbied to hand to fascists. Now they want more of the same.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
Murder =/= social media.
It’s pretty sad that I have to say this. People are really losing their minds of this “social media” hype.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
Yes they are. That’s what Fox news does. It curates content specifically for their wacky users.
Whether they use an “algorithm” or not is a meaningless difference based on luddism.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
All of these platforms are actively detrimental to our mental health and destabilizing society.
According to you? How do you feel about the TikTok takeover? Anxiously awaiting the same for Lemmy?
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 4 days ago:
moral panic about social media in a way that is extremely unproductive, dangerous and ultimately a distraction from the actual issues at hand.
100%. Yeah that’s the point. If there’s any alternative narrative, hegemony stirs up a panic then takes over control.
Just look at what happened with TikTok. A bunch of obvious fascists started up a campaign. A bunch of liberals and other obvious fascists took it over… Now we have fash tiktok.
The people foaming at the mouth in this comm want to do it all over again with every form of “social media”. It’s gonna be rich when they come for Lemmy.
