Why not just use chatgpt instead

That’s not a thing

They’re obsessed. When there’s manufactured outrage it’ll start out as sensible but quickly evolves into the radicals that spew what you see up top. Ai and chat bots have issues but the push to convince the public to hate it was heavy on lemmy. So now there’s these radicals that are living in their own toxic fantasy.

I for sure believe they do. Like the amount of applications that came out with all these features only to have them rolled back because public backlash or because they wanted to put it behind a pay wall has always pissed me off. Look at Bing photo search. When it first showed up you could use it for opsec and tracing the origin of suspect memes. So if I felt something was astro turfed or a user was a bot, I could verify with Bing search. Now I can’t even use it to search a logo because they gutted it. But there’s no way I don’t think that behind closed doors this search isn’t in the hands of political firms or law offices or government.

Hey, do you guys want to organize and concentrate memes and content to push back against the growing group of nazis that spread by creating content and memes.
No no no we can’t manage that type of organization. It’s silly. Back to posting about ~beans~ ~moths~ vegetables

I don’t think people who aren’t cheating get to compete at that level so they wouldn’t get the chance to ask. They don’t get the opportunity

Why not just use the methods that are proven to work which are none of those things you mentioned?

Oh shit!
This is exactly how the MAGA movement consolidated. Crazy to watch it on the left.

Isn’t it more like they’re comparing all the hamburgers and everything else you have eating since you were born?
That’s what they’re doing with AI enegry usages isn’t it? I thought it was including the training which is where the greatest costs come from vs just daily running.
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 1 month ago:
I would say the argument is that they feel they’re paying more for people who don’t deserve it. That the government and these businesses are constantly subsidizing by taking their pay cheque and handing it to people who refuse to work or decided to do drugs or making other bad life choices. The right tends to view things at an individual level whereas the left view things as a group. Both are right and wrong. If you’re paid $60,000 a year and some goes to a safe injection site, more goes to some carbon tax that nobody is really tracking, more goes to some dark slush fund nobody knows about. Over the years we all just get bitter and angry

Problem I worry is that because both media and all of you create so much attention to this issue, it’s likely to happen at some point
- Comment on Are bots on lemmy? 2 months ago:
Because you’re thinking about it wrong. With a bigger population it’ll cost more to influence them. If you ever watched how they did it in 2016, they started small, always. The first sub Reddit’s to see lots of opinion shifts where small subs like local interest before they moved on to the larger metropolitan ones. If you’re paying to influence people then you need a chain of initiation to start. This makes Lemmy a much greater target than Reddit. Look at opinions on AI. Lemmy was full on sharing multiple daily headlines like “AI is coming for your daughter’s” while Reddit thought it was just a neat tool

- Comment on Anon is forever alone 2 months ago:
Yes, absolutely. I’m still tired of this acceptance of this type of acceptance because it translates into so many of you crying about being miserable the rest of your life. Well no shit you’re miserable if you accept low skill low wage jobs. There’s a point where this push for seeing positivity and acceptance of all things turns into something that is misleading. Young people see the attitude and adopt it. Next thing they’re 33 and still working these jobs and miserable.
- Comment on Anon is forever alone 2 months ago:
The guy is a fucking bum. Why are so many people here trying to force positivity when the point is realizing he wasted his life. The point isn’t to twist it into some exercise in tolerance to smell your own farts. It’s ok to say “you bum”
