It’s automating the enshittification. A large language model doesn’t need to sleep and doesn’t have a conscience.

AI as we know it now is, in a nut shell, the automation of “I was just following orders”. Or a digital factory line of evil. Either way, this is about removing the human element from as many decisions as possible.

It would be tricky, unethical, and in some cases illegal to get people to do the sort of things the owner class and fascists want to do to society. But it’s easy to let an AI program go nuts. The cruelty is the point in the case of the fascists. And in the case of the owner class it clears out anyone who couldn’t afford a lawyer.

People have to want things to get better. If people vote blue in November then we will have an opportunity to make things better. If the fascists take power, they will kills millions of people.

No.

I did a reverse image search on google. It kind of looks like a photoshopped version of this logo.

Steins;Gate season 1 did it better. =p

I wouldn’t feel safe sleeping in a room with a random internet stranger my mom met over the internet. In fact, I wouldn’t really feel safe sleeping in the same room as people I’ve met while playing internet games and I’ve met some cool people. People can easily fake an internet persona over long periods of time. I don’t feel like this is empathy problem on your part. Trust takes time to build and it’s not something that can really be done over the internet if your entire history with the person is based purely on online interactions.

That seal is going in the stew. 👩 👊🦭

My friends’ band in high school was called Dances with Bread. I was their biggest fan, so I wanted a username that was bread themed. But I also felt like a username that had a sci-fi feel to it. ToastedPlanet was available on Reddit and it was available on Blåhaj Lemmy. But I managed to mistype it on DeviantArt as ToastePlanet which is embarrassing to say the least.

Do people not enjoy ripping the paper off of plastic water bottles? This looks like the same kind of fun to me.

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve switched to Firefox on my mac and iphone for personal use. I just need to move some web development stuff around so I can switch to Firefox on that too. I may even uninstall google chrome, but for now I’ve just taken it off the task bar.

Do you mean ‘hit two birds with one stone’? That’s not advice, it’s a useful expression for describing getting good value.

Not only that, but the debate completely distracts from the way AI has already harmed people. The most recent implementations of AI were produced with white collar workers in third world countries who worked long hours and with poor working conditions to train the AI.

My parents might have handed me some change to operate the box of newspapers outside the grocery store when I was three or four so I could try opening it. But I’m not even sure if I got to do that.

Newspapers. You paid for it, and it still got ads.

I have never done this and I doubt I ever will.

I went to one of those at my friends’ high school when I was a teenager. It was a lot of fun and I knew most of the people there.

Trevor Noah did a good job talking about men’s need for intimacy on the Daily Show.

Here is some of the important stuff from the article.

Rather than feeding ducks bread, bird enthusiasts can instead offer them treats like:

Halved grapes (be sure to cut them in half to prevent choking)

Cracked corn

Thawed frozen peas

Barley

Oats

Birdseed

Duck pellets

Even with these healthier snacks, Norris says it’s still important to only feed ducks in moderation. If the birds, especially the ducklings, become reliant on people for their food, they may stop foraging or engaging in their other natural behaviors.

“You don’t need to bring a whole bag of seed, a whole bag of grapes,” Norris says, “You don’t want to just throw a whole bunch of stuff at them.” Instead, a handful of snacks should suffice.

This is the first time I’ve been alerted to a GDPR related issue. Is this becoming a common issue for people in the EU?

This article has a bunch of suggestions.

Don’t feed ducks bread, do this instead
