"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype.
Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Well the guys that made computer programs to stream their own bullshit songs they put on places like spotify millions of times and earn real money in accumulated royalties were hunted down and charged under serious federal crimes.
Wire fraud is their go to in cases like this, it's really broad. Any sort of scheme or dishonesty that involves the mail or a wire can convict you of that 4 year felony let alone everything else.
Just don't get caught. The spotify one because you need to give them your identification data to put your songs up. The bitcoin address will be just a random wallet. You just need to be smart in how to turn those into other national currencies.
That is very true, and good advice. If someone knew how to ask, this community could enable even a tech dumbass like me to set something like that up, if said dumbass applied themselves a bit.
