also, fucking ew:

Needs to be put in it’s place like a misbehaving dog, lol

why do AI guys always have weird power fantasies about how they interact with their slop machines

given your posts in this thread, I don’t think I trust your judgement on what less annoying looks like

everybody’s loving Adam Conover, the comedian skeptic who previously interviewed Timnit Gebru and Emily Bender, organized as part of the last writer’s strike, and generally makes a lot of somewhat left-ish documentary videos and podcasts for a wide audience

5 seconds later

we regret to inform you that Adam Conover got paid to do a weird ad and softball interview for Worldcoin of all things and is now trying to salvage his reputation by deleting his Twitter posts praising it under the guise of pseudo-skepticism

I’m gonna do something now that prob isn’t that allowed, nor relevant for the things we talk about

I consider this both allowed and relevant, though I unfortunately can’t sign it myself

we sincerely hope not

it was some shitty follow-up to your joke so unfunny it made your post less funny just by being under it. pull this thread from mastodon and chances are you’ll see it if you really want to

anyway if you want a laugh, they threw a tantrum and reported your post because we deleted theirs:

their joke was in that exact tone too because they’re a comedy black hole

[–] self@awful.systems 4 points 2 months ago

it’s really weird that this turned into a tantrum where you tried to report other users for their jokes???

[–] self@awful.systems 5 points 2 months ago

wow, your posts really aren’t good

[–] self@awful.systems 5 points 2 months ago

it’s weird your local AI told you fuck all about the labor movement whose name you’re using as an insult, but oddly enough I don’t feel like wasting my time explaining this quote unquote “tech takes” forum to the type of asshole we exist to sneer at

I wish that offline indexing and archiving were normalized and more accessible, because it’s a fucking amazing thing to have

and now we’re up to inaccurate, stochastic diff. fucking marvelous.

who in the fuck do you think you’re fooling. all of us have used LLMs for search, not by choice. it’s a garbage technology for that use case (and every other use case) and it didn’t take enshittification for it to get there — it is the enshittification.
