Remember when Lee Harvey Oswald defected to russia? And then changed his mind? I forget what happened after that.

Yep. Mmm hmmm.

Outright fascist.

Propaganda works. Period.

Member that time when Microsoft got dragged in federal court for ten years before they eventually decided Microsoft was a monopoly for forcing their browser on everyone and then sweet fuck all happened to them for it?

Well the judiciary sure has changed - now they’re way more computer savvy and they . . . checks earpice . . . I’m sorry, that should be: they’re just as fucking clueless as they were thirty years ago if not even more so. We’re screwed, goodnight.

vile! AAAAHHHHHHh dead

Cardinal Scum: Lord Google! Our Premium service is only making 8.5 Billion net profit per year, a miserable increase of 25% from last year!

Lord Google: These peasant eyeballs have disappointed me. Force the plebians to ingest propaganda as in the olden times! And as for the so-called-Premium subs . . . we will crush their purchasing power!

Cardinal Scum: Yes Lord Google! Brilliant!

Lord Google: Muwahhahahahahah!!!

Cardinal Scum: (hesitantly) Heh heh . . hee heee heeh hehehehh yesssss . . yes

Absolutely the most hated. The marketing chuds are gaslighting by claiming to be less hated. Nah, nah brah. Seriously the most hated. By FAR.

Wait, you mean russia would use social media and the batshit morons who follow them to disrupt a country’s political landscape???

You get maybe, in a 2 hour movie . . . 20 minutes maximum. Not 100 minutes.

“Totalled” doesn’t have the same joi de vivre

Right? I mean, i’ll take the win, absolutely, but c’mon. Anybody still on Xitter - stop. Just stop.

International editor doesn’t understand how media works.

If you’re on Xitter, I don’t know what to tell you. Except, get off.

Has no one made the standard “how to move to Mastodon and take all your twitter followers with you” yet? If they have I havent’ seen it, but that’s the missing link here.

Fuckin’ eerie.

“That’s not writing, that’s just typing!”

It’s the same situation, just writ large. Dumb human decisions to put AI where it shouldn’t be. Heck, you can put it in charge of the nuclear missles now if you want to. Don’t. Though. That’d be really, really stupid.

Part of my knee-jerk dislike of the AI hype is that it’s glorified text completion. It doesn’t know shit. It only knows the % chance of your saying the next word. AGI is not happening anytime soon and all this is techbro theatre for the sake of money.

Anyone who reads a wall of bland generated text and thinks we’re about to talk to god is seriously mistaken.

And now we’re living in the “that was a bad idea” world.

Of course!
