I wonder if any are on Lemmy doing that mess?
They defininetly are, every social platform they can. youtube, facebook, ticktock, twitter instagram, line, bluesky, etc. If they can get usefull training data for their AI they will infect any and EVERY place people interact with. Heck theres even those ones in the past done on 4chan by a youtuber.
These meta/palentir/alphabet people think by appropriating our minds and fusing themselves with silicone, they will become the omniscient gods that never die. Imagine when the ai parts of themselves discover organic material degrades, and decide to self-repair.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.
All things come into being and pass away. There is a natural balance and order to the universe and interference will lead to natural resets.
I mean it’s not unique to AI training. Fake profiles/catfishing have been around since the dawn of the internet.
Long before that. Lonely Hearts columns, classified ads, etc. had lots of fake people in there too.
Oh yeah. There is even a song about it. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name, band, or lyrics.
Honestly, dead internet theory isn't a theory anymore, it's just a fact. And social media has become a contagion. I wonder if a good large CME would fix things, or just delay the problem.
