Also I’ve never seen anyone tag the same account multiple times in one post. It feels like that is a symptom for a mental affliction that should be listed in the DSM

This is a funny little setting Meta implemented on Facebook (on by default), especially the second sentence. It is compounded so not immediately intuitive that it’s saying you don’t always get an AI title if it’s turned on, and that group settings override your personal settings if it’s turned off.

Every time someone introduces something with “can you believe I did this using AI?” the answer is always yes.

2 attorneys charged, 3rd faces discipline by State Bar of California for misusing artificial intelligence The State Bar of California is charging two attorneys with submitting false and inaccurate court filings produced using generative artificial intelligence without proper review.&nbsp…

One would think attorneys would be smart enough to not use AI to write their briefs due to all the documented cases of others getting sanctioned for the misinformation they produce.

One would be wrong…

Gas prices are up. Rent prices are up. Food prices are up. The only prices going down are the offers on Facebook Marketplace when you try to sell anything

One of these images is the iconic photo of Muhammad Ali standing over a defeated Sonny Liston taken by Neil Leifer in May 1965. It is one of the most iconic sports photographs in history.

The other 2 are Midjourney v8 outputs for the prompt “photo of boxer, knocked out, opponent standing over him.”

AI is giving bad advice to flatter its users, says new study on dangers of overly agreeable chatbots Artificial intelligence chatbots are so prone to flattering and validating their human users that they are giving bad advice that can damage relationships and reinforce harmful behaviors, according to...

AI chatbots are giving awful advice because they’re programmed to be too agreeable.

Prompt jockeys lament that people simply need to learn to prompt better, but that ignores the fundamental flaws in these models.

Perhaps the funniest part of the AI hype cycle was seeing AI bros declare the death of all creative industries despite none of them so much as landing a punch

It’s hilarious that everyone flocked to Bluesky to avoid Big Tech only to have the company predictively pivot towards being more like Big Tech

“I don’t like progressives. You people spend too much time online.”

—my locksmith, after telling me he’s Israeli and assuming I’m progressive because I’m a pothead.

We then had a fascinating talk about everything from Muslims in Israel to how Americans don’t travel enough and think he’s Mexican 😹🤷

Moderation isn’t about good moderators being super empathic , technological geniuses

Though good moderation has them

It’s about being willing to commit to safety and good conduct for participants WHO ALSO COMMIT

And holding that damn line with CARE regardless

I’m not even interested in working online anymore. These shitbirds online with their imaginary stories about me helped me retire with more money than I ever made working.

Next month when my lease is up, I’m going golfing and hiking in nature, and the state is paying a woman to be my day date

I’m invincible, and it makes all the low-class do-nothing losers so angry that their crying and exaggerating not only didn’t hurt me but caused the state to step in and help make me even stronger

Offer still stands if any lazy loser ever grows balls and gets off their couch instead of crying online

I’m really enjoying it because the more these nut cases online crash out, the stronger I get. The state is paying to make sure none of these crazy losers are effective, and they are ready to arrest anyone who gains the balls to actually do anything but cry online like the losers they are

Because of all the death threats and harassment I get from online trolls, she comes twice as often and has 2 guys verify her notes so we’re on the same page that online losers are just making up fictional stories for attention.

It’s hilarious because when online losers cry, my life gets better

In February, I tried to kill myself, and March has been the best month of my life.

I now have a state-funded peer support lady who has been visiting in person to help me navigate the system. When online morons keep calling the police, she is the one who verifies for the judge that I’m doing good

Some of them convinced themselves that their insignificant little online world is the center of the universe and everyone agrees with them without realizing the majority of people don’t care and those who don’t buy their little tantrums. It’s a hard lesson for the terminally online crazies
