Fun fact about AI products (or any gold rush economy) it doesn’t have to work. It just has to sell.

I mean this is generally true about anything but it’s particularly bad in these situations. Also PT Barnum had a few thoughts on this as well.

Huh. I thought that was just based on promo “Space zoom” photos from Samsung and it never made it into the wild.

Until they change CEOs again. I wonder what it’d be like to not have corporate parasites everywhere

Damn. I use relay a lot

Ad and sponsorblock integration is sweet too

They’re probably some generational rich that randomly choose a bedroom to sleep in at night or something

Well. I know that they’re gonna consider you both stupid and dead… but yeah… The corner would have a tough time

Developed by Quakers as a protest against capitalism. But like everything capitalism fucked that up too

This is an excellent follow up question to OP

Especially, and this is important, every SINGLE media company owner.

He is their golden goose for content and their dream of an oligarchic future

Incredibly probable

This is great! It’s gonna be as big as The Swatch .beat!

This is the truth. He would have been fine if he was super rich

Until you got FASTLOAD

The entire comic series basically revolves around the 3rd panel reaction

It’s ok. They don’t.

As long as they have a tech billionaire in charge they should be fine.

They could also rename the project to: “The AI Archive” and add lots of buttons with multicolor gradients.

I think reasonable people know it won’t work like that and ultimately you can’t make this stuff without humans.

The real answer is remembering that ALL of this stuff, even the farms full of AI running Nvidia cards are RUN BY HUMANS.

The “means of production” (I’m sure that won’t piss brigaders off) is still controllable by the masses.

Like wake the fuck up. Either you sleep walk into a few decades long mess of boring LLM stuff and destroyed commercial art. Or you form unions at every level.

Right from the power company that cuts power to poor areas to power server farms or the developers at EA writing the pipelines for LLM training.

Every single group needs to say no or stop or whatever.

It’s totally possible. Anyone that tells you differently is stealing from you and destroying your future.

Anyone one of you reading this that could get affected by this (can’t think of anyone who isn’t honestly) needs to stop and take 20 mins to find something to do about it, or you’re just complicit by inaction. (And in my mind a shitty person)

The irony of climate scientists ignoring a problem and waiting until it’s far to late to do something is honestly pretty funny…

At this point it’s wholly on you if you’re still using twitter.

You’d think smart people like science nerds would have left the Nazi bar ages ago.

“Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away. You know who weren’t nice people? Resisters.”

Using twitter enables a Nazi leader. It’s as simple as that.

You can rationalize why you continue to use it, but it won’t change the facts. Honestly knowing you don’t care about the harm you’re doing tells me a lot about your character regardless of the friends you think you have.
