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.

- 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.
- 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.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- 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.
- 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.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

LLMs are vector databases with a friendly text wrapper around them. There is no concept of conscious. You can have the same conversation with MySQL, the only difference is, it will be very much more arcane, but it will correctly return the same response to the same query where LLMs can't due to the very inaccurate nature of vector databases.
Even if one buys into the "they're like digital neurons!" argument, "AI" is like taking a copy of Wikipedia and backing it up to DNA. That doesn't make it human, it means digital data was stored in base 4 math in something organic. In the "AI" case, it's storing random data in a dataset that mimics how brains store data. That doesn't make it any more conscious than having a "heart" makes tin man love.
The friendly text wrapper was just created to try and make people accept the LLMs.
