Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor
Uh, social media? Would forums count as social media? What about boorus (plenty of specialized ones, like e6 for furries, sankaku for AI and reposts without tags)?
I know you can find all sorts of NSFW groups on telegram, with a significant portion being scammy. I suppose you could also look for ERP guilds in MMORPGs
Oh my god, AF’s home page feels like it’s from 2004
There’s a story about how Zhuge Liang, a general and strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, protected a city from a 150,000 strong enemy army by hiding his force of 100 soldiers, leaving the gates wide open and playing a lute atop them, in plain sight of the enemy general. The enemy saw that, thought “No way I’m falling for this trap” and retreated.
That never happened, but Cao Cao did pull a similar feat against Lu Bu - the town had dense forests nearby, where forces could effectively hide. Lu Bu retreated the first time, but came back the next day and attacked, only this time Cao Cao’s soldiers were actually hiding in the forest and fought Lu Bu.
Glad to see that you lack an understanding of scale, that explains a lot.
Should the single parent who had a dream to make art who is getting crushed by capitalism, works 3 jobs to make ends meet and literally doesnt have time to learn there passion without starving not also deserve to be able to express themselves?
They’re not expressing themselves if all they’re doing is the equivalent of a boss telling a worker to do something. This is also called “commissioning an artist”
Oh no poor people might be able to make money off of art instead of only massive corporations that effectively already killed the human spirit in art already. Oh no someone who may have gone to school for art so they can express themselves may no longer be able to get a job at an ad company where their love for art gets extinguished as they have to constantly make soulless logos for mega corps based on advise from advertising psychologist who define what will tingle peoples brain more to make them want to consume more.
This whole paragraph is such a display of bad faith that I can’t even figure what’s your position. My best guess: a lot of words to dodge the problem.
The problem your scared about already happens but is dressed up as human expression today by pr departments because people do it. If anything AI art would counter that because now more people will be producing things for the sole reason of expressing themselves instead of needing to take a soul crushing job eroding the expression of their craft for a corporation to make up for the years of debt they incurred by going to school to follow their passion only to find out the field they went into is a farce.
Yeah, nothing like getting a soul crushing job that doesn’t involve art, so that my artistic spirit can remain unfulfilled forever while I pretend to boss around a prompt and think I did something. Refer back to my first point of this reply.
People believe anything already, people believed random hearsay in the past. The only counter for any type of manipulation like this whether being based in deep fakes or just someone spewing nonsense on a pod cast is critical thinking skills. AI doesnt change that one bit, if someone doesnt want to think critically about something they wont, they don’t need AI today to practice cognitive dissonance and blocking AI wont stop that behavior only focusing on education and critical thinking skills will.
It’s a matter of scale. That you failed to grasp something so simple says a lot.
Shhh, quiet! Otherwise they might get kidnapped by trump’s goons and put on an executive seat!
But there is more human crap out there made each day than there is great works
And now, thanks to AI, we can expect 100x more shit to wade through! Great success!
Not everyone can draw, or play music, or make movies. Not everyone has the time or money to put everything together thats needed to make something like a good song or a good movie.
If the author does not want to spend time learning and doing, then I don’t want to spend time checking whatever they asked an AI to do.
So what exactly is the problem with people using AI generate something?
Lower barrier of entry for profit-seeking bullshitters. A significant usage of AI is done by people wanting to profit off it somehow. SEO optimized garbage sites, videos that get lots of views on yt/ttk/insta, playing spotify on repeat forever.
Oh, there’s also the problem of all the deepfakes that people WILL believe, whatever the intent was: revenge porn, political manipulation, trolling.
I’m pretty sure a lot of pirate download sites do that already
They probably won’t repent and will simply continue to use bullshit rhetoric for when they get out of jail. I recall watching a documentary about one of these cults, don’t remember the name, but it got some pretty rich women in it and the cult leader was abusing all of them.
After being jailed and everything being exposed, a small handful of people who were into it still wanted to defend the leader
I suspect that piece of the bible is carefully ignored in the greediest churches. It’s not like the faithful read the fucking thing anyway
Can’t be worse than the shitshow he’s doing
He’s afraid he’ll have to open his golden parachute before he can finish setting up his yacht flotilla
“Well, scientists now know a lot of phone numbers,” the responsible parties might have thought, “So what?” (…) a surprising amount can be read from the data, and for some users, it can be life-threatening. (…)
And then there are several classes of data that can be uncomfortable to life-threatening for users
From further down in the article:
Approximately 30 percent of users have entered something in the “Info” field of their profile, and some reveal a lot: political views, sexual or religious orientation, confessions of drug abuse are found there, as are drug dealers who advertise their product range in this very field.
The easy accessibility of the photos would therefore have allowed the compilation of a database that, through facial recognition, often leads to the phone number and vice versa.
That isn’t dystopic at all
Meta classifies the researchers’ approach as “scraping” (…) We had already been working on industry-leading anti-scraping systems
Oh, the irony
I don’t even
I was surprised that both Grok and Gemini 2.5 got it right once, only to fuck it up on the refresh
As RC-1138 would put it, “Times have changed”
The market, well known for its thoughtfulness and discipline, is sure to remain so.
Yeah, nothing says “this person will repay their loans” like looking at their face and nothing fucking else.
I love how you can just call it capetalismo in portuguese, capeta = devil
I’ll never cease to be amazed by how easily we can create impromptu chemical weapons just by trying to clean our homes with bleach
What’s that fabuloso?
I’ve had tailgaters while driving on the fucking right lane, but the worst are the ones that keep blinking the headlights despite me driving close to the speed limit on highways that have speed cameras every 200m.
