Fun fact about AI products (or any gold rush economy) it doesn’t have to work. It just has to sell.

I mean this is generally true about anything but it’s particularly bad in these situations. Also PT Barnum had a few thoughts on this as well.

Huh. I thought that was just based on promo “Space zoom” photos from Samsung and it never made it into the wild.

Agreed … but it’s also kind of meaningless. Which it my point. It’s an emotion generating word. Not a “communicating an idea or concept” word. So when it’s said it’s only ever really used to make you react emotionally.

But you can only get so worked up with only one “hate” word. To continue the cycle they gotta add new ones to keep you keyed up.

Until they change CEOs again. I wonder what it’d be like to not have corporate parasites everywhere

Damn. I use relay a lot

Yeah. Good ol fear leading to authoritarianism. One day maybe humans will able to teach enough history to enough humans living on earth at one time to finally learn to not repeat these cycles…

Or they’ll get lucky and a new term like Trans or BLM will come along.

Hate is hate. People that hate will hate. Societies that don’t respond quickly and firmly to reduce hate will grow more hate. Etc .

They’re using a word their base is afraid of to paint their enemies in a negative light.

Their words aren’t for any of us.

They’ll change to using anarchist satanists or whatever once their base has reached somatic satiation and “communist” no longer generates enough of the right dopamine hit.

Ad and sponsorblock integration is sweet too

You should read about unions and how they work.

Honestly how most people should act. Who give two piles of shit what some CEO type thinks or wants. They’re not the talent. They’re certainly not of value.

Employees to CEO: Do this for us.

CEO: I don’t wanna.

Employees: get fucked pal.

Honestly it was pretty obvious coming up to y2k that it’d be the last generation of kids that had the same standard of living as their parents…

William Gibson and the entire cyberpunk genre pretty much nailed that stuff from day one. It was supposed to a warning though. Not a playbook.

It can be confidently argued that the western American empire and it’s related industries (software and the Internet included) peaked in the 90s. We had a bit of hang time at the top and now it’s been free fall since around 2004.

This is the truth. He would have been fine if he was super rich

Great ideas, poor execution

It’s ok. They don’t.

As long as they have a tech billionaire in charge they should be fine.

They could also rename the project to: “The AI Archive” and add lots of buttons with multicolor gradients.

I think reasonable people know it won’t work like that and ultimately you can’t make this stuff without humans.

The real answer is remembering that ALL of this stuff, even the farms full of AI running Nvidia cards are RUN BY HUMANS.

The “means of production” (I’m sure that won’t piss brigaders off) is still controllable by the masses.

Like wake the fuck up. Either you sleep walk into a few decades long mess of boring LLM stuff and destroyed commercial art. Or you form unions at every level.

Right from the power company that cuts power to poor areas to power server farms or the developers at EA writing the pipelines for LLM training.

Every single group needs to say no or stop or whatever.

It’s totally possible. Anyone that tells you differently is stealing from you and destroying your future.

https://cwa-union.org/ here’s one to start…

Anyone one of you reading this that could get affected by this (can’t think of anyone who isn’t honestly) needs to stop and take 20 mins to find something to do about it, or you’re just complicit by inaction. (And in my mind a shitty person)

The irony of climate scientists ignoring a problem and waiting until it’s far to late to do something is honestly pretty funny…

At this point it’s wholly on you if you’re still using twitter.

You’d think smart people like science nerds would have left the Nazi bar ages ago.

Pretty sure the first order of business is going to be to remove those laws.
