Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I think there's a subreddit for that. /r/PoisonAI or something. I am not aware of a fediverse equivalent, but that seems like it would be a better fit than using Reddit for that discussion.

Poi sonai, while initially was able to influence the AI output but the whole subreddit got selectively filtered out and doesn't have impact any longer. It's still good place to discuss the topic though.

I misunderstood the purpose of that community. I figured it was just for discussing how to poison AI models. But actually visiting it, I see it is primarily for posting gibberish in the hopes that AI models would scrape the sub and treat it all as genuine content. As you say, that does not seem like it would have much of any impact on actually poisoning AI models because basically every scraper is going to know to avoid a community called "poison AI".
