This reminds me of people in the past making fun of these using computers and calling them dorks and nerds. Personally i’m much concerned with people who use memes and pictures as a form of debate
I'm not sure they will

using media to convey ideas is concerning, using the lying machine that destroys the planet, good actually!
sunsofold@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
The problem is the medium of memes doesn’t convey ideas well, if at all, and helps promote thought-terminating ideologies and ignorant partisanship. If you can fit the idea into a meme, it’s probably oversimplified to the point of uselessness, and if the meme relies on you already knowing the real idea, it’s not informing anyone of anything.

Using only media and memes to convey ideas looks indeed concerning to me, take a look at sopuli.xyz frontpage: most of it it’s memes and there’s not a single text thread
using the lying machine that destroys the planet
You can run AI locally on your computer and it will destroy the planet as much as a playing a videogame would do.

A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.
Memes carry a lot of meta data that is unspoken, a single meme can be worth a thousand words

That’s probably another reason why meme threads are so popular, media can carry a lot of data about you that text doesn’t

I wish. I would be forced to write some code again and actually get back what I enjoyed to do.

Imagine this: someone do turn ai off for a week. Govs learns 97% (everyone except few scientists, me and Joe)… 97% of voters are stupider than anyone ever though. Govs will know exactly what to do with stupid rams. Scientists will panic.
No, lets not do this. (it is done already, facebooks, tiktoks, instas, reddits already proven and provide exact datas, with daily updates and per subgroups.

Holy fuck, what are you trying to say?
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
you said things, some say many things, but it was certainly a thing you did.
great job.

Turning AI off for a week will not reveal anything to capitalist institutions whose stated purpose is to influence elections that they did not already know.
What it will do is reveal within friend groups who has a brain that they’re willing to use and who’s been skating by on other people’s brains since long before ChatGPT came along.

we should disable all cars and public transport for a week to see whether people’s legs still work

Maroon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Without cars, people can walk, but not go very far. Without AI, people can think like they used to, just without slop being introduced in the mess.
Don’t try to get smart using false equivalence. You have a level of stupidity that even perfect AI can’t fix.
AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 weeks ago
But AI allows us to create meaningless bullshit in a FRACTION of the time! You don’t even have to be skilled at doing the thing the old fashioned way to be able to use AI to look competent to someone extremely credulous!
BrickEater@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Literally not the same. You can live just fine without AI, not so much without transport.
gandalf_der_13te@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
well you could live well without mechanized transport roughly around the time that cars were first introduced.

The whiplash between apparent anti-fascism and purity politics on this site is wild.
AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Right? Purity politics. I’m not sure what to make of it. I believe it’s mostly driven by profit. I haven’t read anything about anyone actually driving this as a general strategy. It makes little sense except for general disruption of social cohesion and it feels too spontaneous.
I believe it started with climate / science denialism and fascism, things that you cannot tolerate because they lead to intolerance. Things where the emotional abuse eventually got too much and people just categorically rejected anyone from the other camp. But this has been massively expanded now. Veganism, cars, vaccinations, conspiracy theories, diplomacy, AI.
orioler25@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Right so, this is definitely related to what “purity politics” means, but not what I was referencing. I’m talking about the (liberal) tendency on this site for people to supposedly challenge purity-based political systems and ideologies like fascism, white supremacy, and settler-colonialism one minute, and then accept “piece of technology corrupts the human soul,” as an explanation for something better explained through systemic analysis or cultural critique.
wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s a poison pill. We can say we want to turn it off to check to see if anyone can still think, but they’re inventing it to turn us all into mindless dolts, so, turning it off kind of defeats their purposes.

kamen@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m afraid you’ll find that for some people they don’t - just like they didn’t work before AI.
Nangijala@feddit.dk 2 weeks ago
I think a better challenge would be to turn off the internet for a week and see what happens. The times I did internet detoxes, I felt completely relaxed and got a mental clarity I don’t have in my day to day life. Sadly I’m dependent on the internet for my job, so I can’t really detox like that nowadays, but I miss the feeling.
Stolas@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I’ve been hoping that something like this would happen for what feels like too long at this point.

Seeing a sharp decrease in productivity, I’m sure they would take it as a sign that AI is effective.

The US government is now all AI run, so it would affect all those empty suits in washington for sure. They may actually have to do work themselves for once.
