"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.

Yeah, feed that right into the slop machine (posting on Threads).
I've got news for you, Lemmy is not some super obscure underground platform. Yeah it's a bit too convoluted for a lot of super casual social media users, which helps keep the content well-curated, but it's publicly indexed and easily findable and definitely also being crawled for AI training.
There's a difference between feeding it to the slop machine willingly (if maybe unknowingly if they don't read TOS / follow news) and it being stolen illegally by evilcorps.
Lemmy barrier for entry is at about Reddit circa 2010 levels.
Trust me. I'm a doctor.
The whole Internet is a slop machine. A few companies bought up all the places people used to go
The small web is a thing and if you don't want to pay with your data ("free") there are ways to get your stuff online without it getting too technical.
