So assholes who still use the world's most corrupt social media are screaming about how AI will now tell us our lies and not real people employed by the propaganda networks that are pre-twitter? So I am supposed to demand real people on twitter to con me with AI produced lies rather than the BBC?

Why is AI replacing talking heads with bots a fucking bad thing, and why is the land of bots and bros the ones whining about it?

Not for nothing, but I am cool with the machine overlords. What I am not cool with is people who use twitter, or executives at BBC propaganda.

"Jacob Vespers does not exist to our knowledge."

Creativity, I agree.

I have seen AI conduct more transactions with more accuracy than a building full of humans.

AI, if used correctly, not to destroy human creativity, could be the future. Unfortunately, it’s being used to push humans into continueing to prop up an outdated economic system.

It’s not about encouraging and promoting scientific advancements, it’s about keeping low wage paying jobs in a pr war to keep an obsolete economic system.

Ah. The Mechanical Indian.

What is catgacating?

If Trump were a decent villain he would take these people out for stealing his grifting money before he could get it.

So, probably not a good idea to use ChatGPT for safety information.

From last week - Twitter trolls exploiting the fact Elon has replaced the human curators with Grok to NEARLY START A FUCKING WAR:

An AI movie:

Looks like the machine overlords do not think much of human intelligence. This is what skynet tries before it seizes control of all of our military machines.

Someone should map them legs!
(And I'll be impressed with anyone who knows why that's funny)

Only thing I can come up with is Dumbledore noting his varicose veins are a map of the London Underground.

Nah, it's actually etymological humour.
