thanks and will get to that stuff at some point, but I’ve got a few games to play atm

Misinformation on both Tik-Tok and Insta is news, really?

I appreciate absolutely any way possible to spin AI=bad is meme’ing hard on the clickbaits but this is bottom of the barrel stuff.

Next up: The Grave Danger of Books Upon Stupid People.

It’s a hellscape, I’ve decided to retreat to Dead or Alive wAIfu’s from the early 2000’s due to concerns about the appeal of novel secret agent sexy fish.

First they came for the women of insta with filters and I did not speak out, now they are coming for the sexy fish I will make my stand.

The witch hunt vibes seems apt, the maleficarum got really grim in the wake of the printing press and we’ve got new meme makers now and the pitchforks are being sharpened.

The article kinda hits it home, it’s generic hysterical slop and a solid treatment of the matter will likely be available to the public for £300 from an academic press in a year or three if they promise not to share it. Then an llm will eat it and I will be able to get a summary, mixed in with lemmy comments, for my daily token ration from China: the circle of life.

Afaiu it’s somewhat easier to wreck the book and one would imagine there’s a few books cutting about that whilst not yet fully digital are also not on the endangered species list.

Sharing the knowledge for the greater good is a no go I think, especially in the USA. Me or you can do it on slsk but if a rich corp tries to do it they’ll get shafted fast & hard and the massive academic presses will not tolerate upskilling the poor.

I don’t think they are devouring the Garima Gospels, Cuneiform tablets and deleting hieroglyphs from granite but the worry is if we don’t stop them now it’s a slippery slope and the VHS tapes will be next.

Jesus being readied for the cross by the sinful woman seems kinda 4-6th century 50 Shades of Hyssop and worth a peek, Jacob of Serugh & co.

I thought I’d temporarily walked into a Tim Burton movie a few weeks back but was just heading in the same direction as several thousand peeps off to see my chemical romance.

Enjoy!
