I love the notion that even Twitter users had too much empathy and the platform wasn’t getting Nazified fast enough on it’s own so they had to program a robot to go around and spread propaganda.
- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 5 days ago:
Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.
- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 5 days ago:
“Shitposting” describes the act, not the content. Posting content “that took little to no effort” to produce is just spam. It doesn’t matter if a human made it or not.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 6 days ago:
Oh yeah absolutely, but I also think the goal of the AI companies is not to actually create a functioning AI that could “do a job 20% as good as a human, but 90% cheaper”, but to sell fancy software, whether it works or not, and leave the smaller companies holding the bag after they lay off their workforce.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 6 days ago:
Right? It actually makes me feel insane that the topic of “humans working less” is never in the selling points of these products.
Honestly I suspect that rather than some nefarious capitalist plot to enslave humanity, it is just more evidence that the software can’t actually do what the people selling it to big corporations claim it can do.
- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 1 week ago:
This bit at the end, wow:
Gartner still expects that by 2028 about 15 percent of daily work decisions will be made autonomously by AI agents, up from 0 percent last year.
Agentic AI is wrong 70% of the time, but even assuming a human employee is barely correct most of the time and wrong 49% of the time, is it really still more efficient to replace them?

- Comment on Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitles 1 week ago:
For YouTube tutorial videos I have no issue with relying on GPT, but I think it’s important to recognize that the translation of art is art. I don’t feel good about the idea of something without a soul or perspective interpolating a work of art from one culture and language into another that might be wildly different from where it started.
That all said, I think Crunchyroll and anyone else using AI art without disclosing it absolutely should be honest about it.
- Comment on What is the canonical version of STVI? 2 weeks ago:
Star Trek VI is the best one, IMO. It has:
- Historical allegories
- Political intrigue
- Mystery
- Anti-racist themes
- Spaceship battles
- Awkward Chekhov
- Comment on What is the canonical version of STVI? 2 weeks ago:
BASHIR: Out of all the episodes of star trek, which ones were canon and which ones weren’t? GARAK: My dear Doctor, they’re all canon. BASHIR: Even the non-cannonical episodes? GARAK: Especially the non-cannonical episodes.

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

I [posted last month on this topic(startrek.website/post/22538516) but I too forgot how many bangers are in Season 2 especially, they just tend to get overshadowed by the later seasons.

- Comment on Paramount+ Announces Fifth and Final Season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 4 weeks ago:
I say this as someone who generally liked all the new shows, but since the premiere of Disco in 2017 this whole era of Trek has felt unstable.
Again, I liked everything that was produced, but I also feel that these “premiere TV” styled, $5 million+ budget/episode series are clearly not sustainable business model for these shows that are also only on air a couple of weeks out of the year.

- Comment on To whom it may concern. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think starfleet captains have the authority to command the hearts and minds of their officers.
- Comment on Tinder tests letting users set a 'height preference' 1 month ago:
Tinder started as a “hook-up” app, if they went back to that kind of marketing I would not find the company quite so reprehensible.
- Comment on Today is June 1st, the start of Pride Month. This scene from "Blood Oath" weighs heavily on my mind. 1 month ago:
FWIW I agree, but I would say imperfect instead, on account of the many trans people I have heard say they related in some ways.

I just watched this episode recently. If Klingons don’t care why should humans?
- Comment on Shout Studios have uploaded What We Left Behind to YouTube. 1 month ago:
For anyone who hasn’t seen this, it is an excellent documentary and well worth it even if DS9 isn’t your favorite.

- Comment on Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clips 1 month ago:
I agree, I really don’t think the concerns about “not being able to tell what’s real” will be a major issue (at least to those who care about knowing what’s real). Social media has been full of human-made slop for years and if someone is getting their sense of reality from social media posts, then that is the problem and AI isn’t going to dramatically change that.
- Comment on Google's new AI video tool floods internet with real-looking clips 1 month ago:
I have a feeling if any of these video generators tried to make a “clip” longer than a couple of seconds they would rapidly become a lot less “real looking”
