  Fair enough. That could work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fascinating fasciation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That inside handle on the double urinal is misplaced. You don’t want to be reaching for the handle with your dick-side hand and bump your neighbor. Holding hands is enough.

  It’s a forty-five year old photo of myself. My kids aren’t present on my social media. In fact I’m not on social media except as an anonymous person. So while I appreciate your message, you’re missing me with it.

  That’s partly why the analysis is hilarious to me. Political parties aren’t the same now. Incomes aren’t the same. I was “vandalizing” sand at a campground.

  Oh that’s a wonderful laugh. Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini can now create personalized AI images by digging around in Google Photos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, to me the important thing is the triggering of the memory. I wish the AI could’ve cleaned up the picture without adding a lot of its own artifacts. It is too sanitized. But it’s better than garbage quality picture of a picture. To me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini can now create personalized AI images by digging around in Google Photos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fair. I don’t disparage that opinion. In a lot of cases I would agree. But not always.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini can now create personalized AI images by digging around in Google Photos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh. Every once in a while I do appreciate this.

  You can completely tell which is the AI photo, yet both preserve the memory and the essence of the moment. I hate that I have just a shitty quality picture of a picture of that moment. The quality of the AI version was enough that even my mom, who probably took the photo, couldn’t tell the difference.

  I get that it isn’t the same but when all you have is a garbage version of a memory, I’m not sure or really matters whether the representation is the original garbage or something that makes you feel less regret over not having something better.

  Absolutely but also it doesn’t get it that wrong without a push. I think there it’s too much assumption that AI gets everything wrong most the time when that’s not right either. I just want people to have a realistic understanding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨did the artemis II mission conclusively prove that the moon is made of cheese?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can almost guarantee the actual query is very specific and leading. But lol anyway. Well played.

  Check this guy out who doesn’t get it. Someone let him know because I sure can’t won’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpaceX confidentially files to go public at $1.75tn, reports say⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No lie, if I had that kind of money I’d pay my taxes in full and fuck off to the Bahamas with an entire year of calendar models, and still have money to hook my wife up with all the cabana boys she wants, and still have enough to create scholarships for huge numbers of kids to go to college and still have enough to invest in green energy and vaccines and low-cost insulin and still have enough money to pay for food and medicine assistance to underdeveloped nations and still…

  Well you get the idea. It’s a ridiculous amount of money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨get zapped, idiot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. All visual artifacts that predate the intention of the camera are AI. This is a well-known phenomenon, and I have an issue of me discussing it with Al Einstein and Ben Franklin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Number of AI chatbots ignoring human instructions increasing, study says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  AI can’t scheme or misbehave. The people selling it are 100% lying about what AI can do, but that doesn’t mean the people taking about how terrible AI is aren’t full of shit on occasion as well. There is so much misinformation oh both sides and combined with how strong opinions are on both sides conversation is borderline pointless.

  I appreciate the context, thank you.

  Was he a bad dude? I thought OF was a way for sex workers to have greater agency. If karma is looking for suggestions, I have a long list of people more deserving in my estimation. That said, I don’t know this person and maybe he was bad, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Showerthoughts on LLM being pimped as AI and forced everywhere.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Enshittification is about making money. The fact that AI is now faster and more capable of sifting through the garbage that is Google search thank human is a side effect, not a plan.

  Also, your plot really only works if everyone tells AI about their every weakness, and if AI could be relied upon to answer factually. The person who relies on AI to destroy their opponent is inevitable going to run into a case where AI is completely wrong, and they are going to destroy themselves.

  This might be an interesting story to tell in fiction, but I think trying to bring this about in real life would be self-sabotaging.

  You could save a lot of water and anxiety with shorter showers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Faith IX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I overuse the fuck out of parentheses. Emdash is helping me get over that, but I can relate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Faith IX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a great punctuation. You could use commas, but emdash is nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Faith IX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Forsooth! I love writing that way and reading similar. It makes social media read almost literary. I’m vexed that people would prefer to read comments that stray nary an inch beyond third grade vernacular.

  However it can read a little pretentious, which is why I like to stay drop in a few fuck-your-mothers or whatnot in to provide a little grounding.

  Own that shit and stand out, my brother!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Faith IX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been steeped in AI for about 6-7 years. It’s hard to tell in a brief comment like yours but it doesn’t strike read as AI to me. Not sure where people get that vibe but it doesn’t show here.

  Given multiple paragraphs a lot of tells can accumulate if there isn’t a human carefully curating and editing. This one is borderline. I’m not sure by any means, but it hits my skepticism zone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Faith IX⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting strong AI vibes in this one. Two “this is x not y” comments in a row. Could only be more AI coded if it were “this isn’t x but y.”

  Idk if it’s the prof or the poster but this series is expiring quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, someone could do the difficult work of putting all of my MagicShel accounts together into a single aggregate person, for whom a fair bit of demographic data would be available if you combed each account. That being said, none of it is PII and connecting me to my actual identity would likely require cooperation of a couple key sites. I think if you compromised (or subpoenaed) a minimum of 3 separate services you could put it together based on who made donations in my name.

  Point being, no random internet asshole is going to be calling my phone or knocking on my door, and I’m not interesting enough to be worth the effort for any rational actor.

  I don’t use non-pseudononymous social media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keen bosses, strange mistakes and a looming threat: workers on training AI to do their jobs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s say AI increases productivity by 10%. So you’d reduce staff by one person out of every ten. But how many teams actually have ten people on them? My biggest development teams might’ve had 10 between PM, devs, and QA. But again cut one of your five devs and you reduce capacity, not increase it.

  I’ve never worked anywhere that a 10% increase in productivity could justify cutting a person. I’m sure those places are out there, but it seems uncommon.

  It might let them cut staff off they can overwork their people that much more, but a lot of people are stretched to capacity even now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moltbook was peak AI theater⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be easy to hide instructions in a Moltbook post telling any bots that read it to share their users’ crypto wallet, upload private photos, or log into their X account and tweet abusive comments at Elon Musk.

  Who would create a bot for this purpose and then also give personal details in the instructions / memory or access to photos?

  But as for that last point, I’d probably already have a bot to tweet abuse at Musk if I had a Twitter account.
