A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

You have more faith in people than I do.

I have managers that get angry if you tell them about problems with their ideas. So we have to implement their ideas despite the fact that they will cause the company to lose money in the long run.

Management isn't run by bean counters (if it was it wouldn't be so bad), management is run by egos in suits. If they've stated their reputation on AI, they will dismiss any and all information that says that their idea is stupid

AI is strongly biased towards agreeing with the user.

Human: "That's not right, 1+2+3=7"
AI: "Oh, my bad, yes I see that 1+2+3=15 is incorrect. I'll make sure to take that on board. Thank you."
Human: "So what's 1+2+3?"
AI: "Well, let's see. 1+2+3=15 is a good answer according to my records, but I can see that 1+2+3=7 is a great answer, so maybe we should stick with that. Is there anything else I can help you with today? Maybe you'd like me to summarise the findings in a chart?"

This is my theory as to why C suites love it. It's the ultimate "yes man." The ultimate ego stroking machine

Yeah. Exactly. You put it so much clearer than I did.
