Memes and their consequences to the society…

Heartwarming: the worst industry possible has a correct take on something for once.

Nice.

Nice!

US tech firms want to undo Section 230, because they have the capacity to prefilter stuff (thanks to AI moderation) and to pay fines, but smaller providers such as the Fediverse don’t.

So it’s made up by Grok (no em dashes).

Soon, yes. They will make some law, that will force you to use either big tech’s stuff or not use tech at all for “safety” reasons, or you get sent to Bobby’s wellness camps for forced labor for big tech.

You can just say that you believe that no one should use AI.

At least for LLMs, yes. It is the most pragmatic resistance against AI as of now, especially considering how “useful” they are.

Sometimes one extreme is the correct one. Moderation can be a fallacy too.

Because AI boosters made people believe not using AI/not wanting to engage with AI generated output is an extremist position, so you must use AI, just read the output, and maybe rewrite it.

If only it was just a Mastodon instance (was thinking about creating “Twatter”, as a joke).

AI boosters are controlling the narrative around AI, and what constitutes as extreme positions on it. They made the general population believe, refusing to use AI, refusing to engage with genAI output, especially if paired with mean online comments, is extremism. Meanwhile they claim the “golden middle road” is using it as a tool, such as an already established artist using it to brainstorm ideas, use it for reference material, or use their preexisting capabilities to fix up the AI generated output. Similarly, pro-AI extremism is being downplayed to “slop posting”, especially if it is paired with severe AI psychosis.

Reality:

• There are now some actual anti-AI extremists. The worst of them would not mind sacrificing a portion of the population to put the genie back into the bottle. Less severe people would just put the tech oligarchy and some AI devs in front of a Nuremberg-style trial, ban the use of LLMs altogether, force AI companies to delete any models that made without consent, try to come up with an international agreement on a global AI ban, etc.
• Pro-AI extremists are a lot worse in actuality, than just some third world guy posting AI slop as a side hustle or engagement bait, to get ad revenue money. The DOGE boys’ excuse for the USAID massacre and the deregulation is that any problem, including 600 000 (!) people dying from USAID funds getting pulled, is that AI deregulation will lead to artificial superintelligence, which will lead to a quadtillion human being living in the solar system in a few centuries. TESCREAL is a fucking cult, that would be too extreme for Shin Megami Tensei, let alone the real world.
• “Moderate usage” or “rational adaptation” is often a slippery slope. I’ve seen way too many devs trying to use it as a “tool”, only to implement things on AI hallucinated specs and similar shenanigans, with many falling down the rabbit hole of loop engineering and vibe coding, all while claiming the decreased code quality worth the “productivity gains”. Said “productivity gains” don’t last for too long though.
• The “I want more ethical AI” crowd are usually hypocrites IMHO. At best, they secretly run their own model. At worst, they’re the same as your average AI bro with mild AI psychosis, except usually more leftist and more secretive about their AI usage. I heard that some devs who previously had issues with attributing open source code are those most likely to be in this group, though I cannot confirm due to lack of a solid evidence.
• Your average “can you please not post AI slop?” people are the real centrists.
• You’re right if you refuse to use AI, you’re right to not want to engage with AI slop, even if your aunt disagrees.

Republicans get: 2/3 seats in November, to write “a new, more conservative constitution”.

Russians get: Ukraine and a few little Baltic states, also the US will try to disband NATO due to “sovereignty” reasons.

She should go on a Nuremberg-style trial, and then live the rest of her life in a small solitary confinement.

I propose this compromise:

• No surveillance, at all.
• Flock rebrands to the shitty SaaS startup its name suggested it to be. I want to see the YouTube ads for “IrfanView, but paid and is a 500+MB chromium app”!

Stuff like that was also kind of present in the past.

My non-gamer friends suddenly became gamers thanks to 3D games.

I remember people telling me not to buy a video game controller, because everything will be motion controls in the future.

My stepfather wanted to cut our cable TV internet the moment 3G modems came out. He even talked about Soviet TVs with wired remotes to try to convince me and my mother.

My late stepmother accepted that I won’t go to a trade school to become some kind of repairman after Facebook became popular, although she thought “software developer” was the same as “CNC machine programmer”.

I call this phenomenon “normietech”, and AI is the worst example of it.

You can use AI. Seriously! It’s a great tool for drafting. Just read what it gave to you , then write your own version, or polish the text. Don’t be a middleman between it and the answer.

"You don’t need regulations, all you need is rational actors boycotting the corporations that do bad things, and spinning up their own businesses as competition."🤡

Okay, where can I buy them, below the price of “western” RAM?

And when the Eastern Bloc dissolved, government owned corporations got sold off to western ones, for pennies, all to be shut down in a few weeks. If not, usually they got boycotted, because the kids finally could buy western brands, which made you look cool among your peers.

What are those, who only have one circle?
