Someone replied to this how they could not understand how Netflix Game Console was such a popular app, and I think that's probably key to why people can't accept the popularity of ChatGPT, people are completely oblivious to the preferences of those not Extremely Online

I don't really care f someone uses it or not but, I don't think a lot of anti-AI people on bluesky realize what outliers they are in mainstream society.

Once again, I desperately need the Acronym Death Stranding jacket

Not to mention this is a perfect example of a hyperstition: a fiction that makes itself real

These occurrences are always used as examples of why AI is bad but not enough people ask how can this effect be leveraged against harmful ideas? Seed stuff online so it gets picked up by AI and promulgated in defiance of the hegemony

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

Me: [idly looking up info on popes]

Me: wut?

How is the “Max Slinger” account still not banned? This is an AI agent account that isn’t properly labeled as a bot AND it’s replying to people unsolicited constantly as well as follow farming. It’s breaking so many community guidelines and needs to be taken down.

lmao

Ok this is pretty incredible work

When you accidentally post porn when you're talking out of your ass about socialism

Idk whether click-driven journalism has lost guardrails — or whether AI is just the first buzzy topic where I know enough to notice they’re missing. But: if we ask why people are misinformed about AI, a chunk of the answer has to be that normally reputable outlets circulate objectively false info.

this is a really dumb story that I'm sure I will see 50 times today. company goes out of business, sells its IP for $1, sells its warehouse space for $2. this is what their stock "exploding" looks like

this is why I hate people who think politics only means "electoral politics" because it gives people an alibi to say their shitty ideas are not political or people are "politicizing" their ideas or actions against their will

I am trying to auto-input a source into Zotero with an ISBN number but when I do, it inputs a completely different book, what the hell

Lol this is so stupid but hopefully this means people stop wearing those ugly ass shoes

and this was before this latest one! bsky.app/profile/myri...

Idk about the "perfect rep" I could have sworn he got in trouble several years ago for stuff he said behind the scenes of his shows

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

Exactly. I was a barista for 15 years and in two major metropolitan areas and the notion that 15/hr was ever enough is offensive and yet they expect us to celebrate this

"wages at the bottom have actually grown faster than at the middle or top" means nothing with regard to what it *should* be though. It doesn't matter if conditions are relatively improved if they are not improved to a more desirable level. I *do not care* if things are better now than in the past

It drives me crazy

None of the people who argue the economy is fine ever engage with the argument that it doesn't matter if it's fine, it doesn't matter if people are not struggling as much as they think, they still have a right to a higher quality of life

"ohhh. oh no. Toilet." is now burned into my brain forever

absolutely lost it at the pronunciation of blockade

If I can inject but one idea into AI philosophy discourse, it's that not only does 'consciousness' need to be quite precisely defined for the question 'Are AIs conscious?' to make any sense, but it still remains to be demonstrated that this is relevant to 'Are AIs persons?'.

Every single one of your points is based on people being happy with what they have. They shouldn't even if they are not struggling

Like I am willing to not only concede with but agree with everything you are saying about the metrics you are putting forth; none of it discounts that people STILL DESERVE AND ARE OWED MORE
