This guy bought so many rare monkey tokens. Ai is impressive in some aspects, but it's not nearly as impressive as the marketing that drives the massive amounts of investment into it.

The US economy is doing anything it can to create growth, which is causing investors to create a bubble around AI that is "too big to fail".

you seem to underestimate just how fast ai is growing.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

It's growing fast, yes, but it's nowhere near actually intelligent or hyperrealistic to the point it's fooling anyone familiar with the tech.

This has already happened, many years ago. I know this because everyone but me is actually a highly sophisticated robot that resembles a member of my species. I'm onto you.

When I was a kid I had a theory that I'm the only conscient being in the world, and that everyone is some sort of a robot.

I couldn't share it with anyone, because obviously no one was real but me.

He figured it out. Time to shut it down.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Finally. This iteration was starting to become weird anyway.

you can't trick me machine. You can't convince me I am the robot and you are the conscious. it can't be possible.

email. gmail already summarizes every mail by default in the US. most emails are bot spam. ppl start using ai bots to answer emails. is that the internet of things?

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I personally doubt that will happen, since the current models require a lot of data to get better, something we actually don't have. The real danger is what happens once we figure out how to make models without an absurd amount of data.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

As well as that, the internet is less reliable since there's a lot more botshit on it.

Skynut is coming, in all its smutty glory and we can do nothing about it

Just swap security cameras back over to analog, problem solved for video evidence

We should get polaroids and analog film again

>I have long-since decided to stop watching new media altogether, opting instead for anime that I downloaded and hoarded before 2030, that I can verify was made before generative AI gained popularity

And I'm open to recommendations, I need to stockpile a good 30 years worth of content and I only have like 2 right now

[–] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have a friend that does a rolling schedule on her hoarded old media, which according to her, is sufficient for the rest of her life.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Frankly I could probably make do with what I got. If I redownloaded every anime I ever watched, I'd have a little over 4 years worth of material to watch and rewatch over and over again. But if I never saw anything new, I'd never see anything new, and all my favorite shows were new once

New to me, that is. All my favorite animes came out like 15+ years ago

War and Peace 1966. A great adaptation of a great novel.

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

Man, the AI Bros shilling this stuff are really active in 4Chan, apparently.

I made every one of these predictions years ago

Before the invention of video, humanity didn't have video evidence either and still managed. We are approaching the end of a ~150 year time period in the history of humanity in which video evidence is persuasive.

[–] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

"Managed" in the sense that crimes could only really be resolved if you had witnesses, and "managed" in the sense that it was far more common for people to be wrongly convicted. Photo and video evidence are pretty crucial to having modern crime resolution rates.

The last bullet is true even now. Just go into Threads or Bluesky. So many bots and scammers.
