would you like to know whether you’re speaking to an actual human on the other end of the line?

“bot speak” becomes unintelligible to humans.

at some point we will give a name of this phenomenon of internet users who are completely undecipherable for normal people … and call it autism (/hj)

It’ll be bots writing articles for bots, bots summarising them for other bots, bots commenting underneath, and bots measuring the engagement.

huh that’s weird, it’s not paywalled for me.

uhh, the bots are requesting multiple sites in parallel, not in series, so it’s difficult to say “hey look, that user moves through 5 pages per second”. instead, you’d say “hey look, there’s 5 users each crawling through 1 page per second”.

today i learned - for stuff that you learned today
showerthoughts - for stuff that you spontaneously thought of (non-political)
uhm … all the transfem communities?

oh and what makes them special: you can learn new things easily :p so it’s like “microdosing knowledge”

yes, and alcohol is a fungus goo

turns out that everything that’s non-vegan has been processed by something other than a plant.

(idk whether fungus are considered vegan. in case they are, even some vegan products are processed by other things.)

you’re not gonna change anyone’s minds by shouting at them.

tankies are often delusional but shouting never helps. try to focus on the economic situation, something that can be meaningfully grasped.

i mean it depends on how you define work. if you go by this definition, then basically any mechanical movement (as long as the force is non-zero) is work. therefore, just standing up in the morning, is work.

look i know that this gets a lot of hate but the current trajectory of “you need to prove your worth to the world to have a legitimate reason to exist” is just not sustainable. fuck all that “we support that artist”, we should be supporting the person, whether they output art or not.

the current rage against AI is 90% driven by the idea that humans need to produce output sothat we can donate to them and give them money sothat they can live. and frankly, that’s a dystopian idea in my eyes.

yeah exactly.

let’s calculate: mayflower in 1618 to today, roughly 2018 is about 400 years. first child was mostly had around age 22 for most of that time, so that makes 400 / 22 ≈ 18 generations if you’re descended from a long row of first-borns.

i mean this tell you everything that you need to know: as soon as the animation quality of a channel is good enough, it gets accused of being AI. what does this tell us about the quality of AI output?

i still go for 720 all the time because at a certain resolution, you’re just starting to see the pimples, at not extra benefit.

that’s why i never pursued a master’s.

the upper class will say that “one must imagine sisyphus happy”. this is a psy-op to make us think that the struggle is good, actually

yeah the “tankie bar” issue is a real problem.

i’m not complaining about mods or sth, just as a general viewpoint of how to treat new useres.

oh yeah you’re right, it got restored.

That post is just setting off all kinds of alarm bells.

yeah actually now that i look at it again, you might be right.

i kinda just saw “oh hey new user” and went into auto “treat them nicely” mode. didn’t actually note much what they wrote on their backstory
