Is there nightshade but for text and code? Maybe my source headers should include a bunch of special characters that then give a prompt injection. And sprinkle some nonsensical code comments before the real code comment.

Voting in our system is like choosing the boss for the final boss fight. So yeah, if you’re in a place where your vote could make a difference, vote Dem, but never stop raising hell.

Analogies? I only counted one.

Many of these trends were happening before GPT, but it sounds better to say it’s because of AI and not shareholder value.

you’re just personally insulted.

I swear to God this attitude is why people don’t like what you’re saying. I am all for weighing the two against each other but the “I am more moral than thou” is why I left the church.

… With whatever corporations is providing the bot. When the business decides to change the model or impose a technical limit that impacts their experience negatively, well you get the idea. There is a material, exploitive capital machine on the other end, and it wants your time.

With you up until bringing the far left into this. What does universal healthcare, trans rights or taxing billionaires have to do with the surveillance state, aside from dismantling it?

I’m a contrarian so I must be an independent thinker.

• Some piss drinker on the internet

Judging from the YouTube comments they are hitting their mark. Lots of people mistaking being contrarian for being independent though, like in the case of COVID vaccines and makes wearing.

Reminds me of the adage:

No one chooses to be stupid

This video refines the idea to say stupidity isn’t a psychological phenomenon but a problem that is constructed by society.

But not by the white people.

There’s a difference between seeing and perceiving. If you see AI slop and don’t see how it is different than something crafted by a human expert, that is a problem of one’s perception.

1. How Generative AI is framed by the industry is an affront to humanistic values.

2. It’s not even close to consciousness. For those of us who understand how these things work it’s almost an insult to make the comparison.

3. All the other unethical considerations mentioned elsewhere by others (stealing art, water usage, politics).

Many restaurants are allowed to pay their employees below minimum wage. They expect tips to fill that gap.

It should but it doesn’t. Like for a while starbucks tips would go towards the shift that cleans the place.

Are clean surfaces something special?

Started my own LLC and moving to contract work because I don’t want to deal with assholes like this being my boss.

Does Japan / type-A not have grounded circuits?

If this is Walmart we’re talking about then I sure as hell contributed to their success by subsidizing their underpaid employees with food stamps.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but VPNs are allowed in China and can get around “censorship”. In general you can still access information abroad but China is dedicated to having their mass-media not be inflammatory. You can talk about Uighurs on RedNote, but you can’t level baseless accusations and expect those to stay up.
