Apparently checks out. Guess it’s just a block from me.

I don’t really want to just put someone’s /u/ on blast, but I’ve found an account on Lemmy that appears to be posting nothing but anti-AI posts with LLM titles and top level comments. What a world.

Might technically fall afoul of anti-spam legislation if you don’t respect unsubscribe requests, though I’m not sure if that’s specifically for commercial email in the US, and it’s not like unsubscribing from one instance of this would do much. Probably easy to filter, though.

I will not publicly mention my personal recommendation, but hell yeah sister

There have been a tragically large number of generated fics uploaded this year, but at least they’re tagged…

There are too many of these companies to remember at this point, to be fair. I keep getting things mixed up with SoftBank.

Sadly I think the popularization does owe a lot to the intermediate stage where 4chan started calling mass entertainment media “goyslop,” but even the Protocols types switched to tacking on specific descriptors before it made it out into the mainstream and got picked up as a term for genAI output.

Kind of fascinated by how this guy has gone into reddit threads about this to complain about being bullied, including complaining that people are sharing this screenshot with his full name and face unredacted. Buddy, I don’t know what to tell you about who’s responsible for that one.

Hasn’t most of that automated terminal guidance been directed at people and tanks in open fields, away from buildings?

I think this is just the standard 4chan use of both terms, so kind of yes but filtered through years of shitposting.

He’s a provocateur who believes in the value of extremism for its own sake. Getting as many people as possible to find his politics offensive and argue with each other in the comments is the point.

I forget which convention it is exactly, but I think it’s the one that goes M(ille), MM(illion) instead of Kilo, Mega…

Rationalism really is just Scientology with a guy who wants to be a harem anime protagonist instead of an admiral.

Here I thought Supreme intelligence would have that “By any means necessary.” print and cost several thousand dollars.

Is it just me, or does the whole thing smell like slop?

Get way too into a show or video game, become unable to talk to people about anything else, and realize 2 years later you’ve slowly become one of the characters?

And sure enough, the maintenance costs proved too much for it to have caught on, conveniently making the whole thing obscure enough to pull out for another round of hype.

If you post hard enough, it stops being a debilitating fear of mind-readers and becomes forward-thinking philosophy instead.

Sadly, I think Epic was always the most serious about making sure that every game made by every studio is part of the same cash shop scheme forever, and the most likely to realize that vision in any practical way. It’s the ultimate dream of all the deskilling, destylization, and asset trading built into their engine since UE4, turning the industry standard for games into interchangeable mush made of interchangeable parts by interchangeable workers.

Is it NFTs, or is it what Epic have been aiming for since the peak of metaverse hype, to get the entire industry dependent on an asset store and account system where Epic takes a cut?
