It would be a crying shame if this stampede towards so-called AI made such a great upstanding company as Meta go under. Sad. So very sad.

Meanwhile, I’ll add bankrupting Meta as a possible fourth useful thing this stuff can do. The list is currently (1) help folks with disabilities, (2) help in medicine, (3) defraud MAGA supporters and now this will come next.

That introspection won’t last, will it.

Which tool did you use to have this post written?

You have just landed on the only angle that could get me to watch a movie about bitcoin: macabre schadenfreude.

It’s the new protection racket! Lovely database you have there. Would be a pity of my model deleted it.

This is how so-called AI can also create jobs…

This sort of story isn’t the norm. But it is a risk. Why would anybody in their right mind chose to implement these half-cooked tools in a production environment? You don’t run a beta test during open heart surgery either.

Since the UK brexited out of the Union, this link may be more tenuous to the continent.

Let’s hope we don’t have to find out;)

It’s more likely mealy mouthed Europeans would declare the end of NATO, let Canada fend more or less for itself, and donate thoughts and prayers in abundance. Too bad Canada isn’t part of the EU! With its defense article it will rise from B team to prime time.

Yes, the US would lose a lot if its bases in Europe, though probably (and sadly) not all. But this sort of obvious strategic rake to step on hasn’t halted the epic blunder in Iran. Why should it stop stable genius here?

Whether it’s plausible that a sexy blonde nurse would love Christ, ICE, and flashing her boobs for strangers is secondary to the fact that many, many people want to believe it is.

That’s such a well written burn.

I’m torn. On the one hand this is like the third useful thing I’ve read that so-called AI can do. If the tech can only be used to help folks with disabilities, help medical research and diagnoses, and defraud MAGAs, I’d stop being so mad about it. On the other hand, idiots aren’t only available in that sociopolitical group and the affluent princes of Nigeria locked in unfortunate inheritance lawsuits are surely planning a surprising comeback with this tech.

I’d question the success that “millions of followers” implies. I think the majority of people who follow such a profile on Insta will know it’s fake. Maybe not initially but they will figure this out. There is s tendency for people on the left side of the political spectrum to scratch each other’s eyes out over narcissisms of minor differences. On the opposing side, people are more likely to stick together no matter what. We are about ten years in to the MAGA movement and we are just now seeing worrying cracks in an otherwise often comically unified great leader facade. So even if a user figured out this boob flashing nurse is fake, they won’t unfollow because the ends justify the means to spread the message. And continuing to follow is not an indication of abject stupidity but another win in the column of owning the libtards for them. And even among the paying morons on the OnlyFans knock-off, there will be users who know this is fake but our Indian medical student is scratching their itch. People jack it to anime as well. People want to marry the Eiffel Tower.

To Meta’s credit, however, emily_hart.nurse’s life on Instagram was relatively brief. In February, Emily’s account was officially banned after Instagram flagged it for “fraudulent” activity, though her Facebook account is still active.

Another piece of circumstantial evidence that Meta is just ugh.

Anthropic is like tough tiddies the US government is doing the same shit to us.

decent support chatbot

is an oxymoron.

Before we gloat too much - and let’s be honest, we all wanna - CEOs tend to be of a certain vintage. I remember how I could program the VCR and my parents decidedly could not. Old folks’ opinions may be less relevant here.

Bringing all these tools in is basically giving magic beans to cave people. How would they know how to use them effectively? All the while trying to figure out if they are indeed magic. This, sadly, could just be the anomaly before the numbers go up. This isn’t proof positive that it’s all horse shit just yet. It’s just confirmation that the peddlers are overflowing with it.

Absolutely. Thiel-backed is a red flag hoisted on a flagpole whose tip reaches just below the ISS, whose width is at least 1000 football fields long, which is illuminated at all times by 5000 spotlights, and which is simultaneously and counterintuitively on fire despite the lack of oxygen at that altitude.

Isn’t that a premium model then?

What you are describing sounds an awful lot like collapse to me. Your slavery South comparison is missing that a lot of what they produced was exported to places where at least officially slavery was banned. So that model is propped up in one location by areas with purchasing power from the general public elsewhere. The thought experiment was what if everywhere was the slavery South, in which case the economy will no longer be sustainable.

Apps that run entirely on ads will probably not make enough money so premium or freemium is where they go. If they have no ads in their app, they probably also have no money to buy ads on YouTube.

It’s not in the billionaire’s interest for us plebs to have no money at all. A lot of their interests are funded by us. Paying for power, food, iPhones, clothes, cars, holidays etc. So if they have it all and we have none, the economy will collapse, people will barter with vape juice and booze, and the billionaires will realize they cannot eat money.

When the economy collapses the question of who will pay taxes is a secondary problem. The primary one will be to rebuild the state and a new currency and then they’ll look at the tax code.

I’m also getting my tax advice from Gonzo on LinkedIn.

What a sad state of journalism. Celebrity posted something on social. Opinions are divided. Commenters said this. Others said that. Thanks for looking at our ads.

She may be right, I dunno. I’m criticizing the publication and quality of the story, not the actor and alleged AI influencer.
