Yeah, but Covid was very dangerous, and this is a plausibistic text generator controlled by dangerous people. Two very different situations

Don’t give up

I think another important thing to do about this situation is to make sure everyone you speak to IRL knows how shit the tech is. Learn how to explain it in lay terms, and win more people to our side.

Pretty much everyone hates Flock already, we need everyone to directly associate Flock with AI.

Flock does not work without AI, it is a system designed to subvert your freedom

Flock needs to go, and AI needs to go with it (big tech in general needs to go tbh)

I don’t think it sells tho

At least not at a price that would produce a profit margin

There will still be real art, though perhaps not on the internet.

Think of how music has been for a while now, you have your mainstream lowest-common-denominator shit, and then there’s underground artists making much more authentic works, you just have to dig for it

… hopefully this dumb shit just goes away soon

I haven’t met anyone irl who is as pro-ai as the defenders that sneak in here are, I think it’s mostly bots and trolls tbh

Yeah, someone else told me that too

Just got home from work and I’m about to look up how to do it, lol

Uhhhhh, I can turn it off?!?

Gotta look up how to do that

Yesterday my phone autocorrected an hyphen into an emdash, and I had to go undo it like 3 separate times before it stopped

It also regularly auto corrects words I meant to type that are spelled correctly because it determines it likes a different word more in a different context (the word it switches to usually doesn’t even work in the context of my text)

Why in the fuck would it do that, and why can’t I turn it off?!

I’m good with spellcheck, but automatically changing my word choices is fucked up, annoying, and super dumb

Lmao, it’s a good pun, intentional or otherwise

Yeah, because of the way they’ve rolled LLMs up into everything, a bunch of people likely use it regularly with meaning to (or wanting to).

Like, Googlemaps is now being “optimized” (ruined) with AI

Does that mean everyone who uses Google Maps to attempt navigation is now counted as an LLM user? Likely so, especially because the LLM companies want/need those numbers to appear large as possible to keep their insane and irrational valuations.

Were you counted as one of those users because you queried Google, and Google automatically fed your query into their LLM?

As another user mentioned, a lot of those “users” are also certainly agents delegating tasks to other LLMs, and the companies present each separate instance of that function as individual users

That would be my guess as well, especially considering that they did not cite any source for that number

That’s larger than any number I can find for the estimated total number of PCs in the world, lmao

3.8 billion would be about 50% of the entire world population. I don’t know where you’re getting that number, but that sounds highly unlikely

That I 100% understand, I originally misread your comment as saying that you had verbally turned down his job offer several times but kept interviewing.

Upon re-reading it, I think you meant you were turning down his Jesus advances.

These greedy fucks clearly need some fear reinstilled in them

Find a job undoing all of the slop bullshit

They’re gonna need a bunch of those people on the very near future when it becomes incontrovertible even to the dumb that AI has ruined everything.

Why didn’t you just get up and walk out after saying no?

I want HDDs to build a RAID

Bought a 20TB HDD about 6 months ago. I went to look into buying another last month, and it is now sold out, on indefinite back order, and costs over twice as much as I paid earlier this year.

They can keep their HBRAM and GPUs

No you’re not, lmao

I mean, it could if it was beneficial technology

The plausibilistic-text-generating-machine isn’t really useful tho

Well, one is a plausiblistic text generator, and the other can think

Because it might lie to you (and often does). It cannot admit when it’s wrong. It’s not a good teacher because it fundamentally doesn’t understand anything.
