Add this to your #deadinternet and #darkforestinternet files. Bots listening to #AI bots. Also #fraud but that is interestingly dark here and maybe related to my post about the #infinitemoneyglitch #tiktok trend. Maybe there are reasons to be understanding of how someone might be cognitively overwhelmed by technology and law, or how AI may put tools in the hands of people who are not prepared or educated enough to maintain critical distance or ask questions.

This is long, I don't know the guy, in fact, offered up by none other than #youtube 's recommendation engine which is, of course, #AI. But it is kind of fun so there is that!

I will just say, study what life and intellect was like before photography, before we trusted mechanical reproduction. And remember Roland Barthes in the essay "The Photographic Message" pointed out that images were ideology not reality. So.

Current #AI is a revolution that is not going away. But #LLMs are 100% a dud and going away very quickly, except the delight in their parlor tricks of course, and how they will continue to pollute the public internet with SEO spam. But #GANs and their application in image generation and media manipulation and fraud? That you will keep feeling on the #darkforestinternet And the applications of neural networks in data science, watch those things very carefully. The revolution will not be chatted.
@jhpot It is important to block Sam Altman's and Elon Musk's regulatory lock in. They are intentionally scaring people to get regulations that seal the market off from competition. AI already has great accomplishments in CS and data science - it could help with cancer breakthroughs, yes. For search? No, it is not normal for cockroaches to emerge from your penis, and the real threat of AI that I can see is really in the hands of SEO, other scammers and #darkforestinternet. Eyeball the fraud!
It is important this week to reflect on the accomplishments of the baby boom generation. The U.S. Supreme Court issued the infamous Death Squad decision, and the west including the United States has tacitly allowed genocide back into the toolkit of democracy, which at the end of the day is probably mostly FOMO due to China and allies, and Russia, openly pursuing it. Add a rapidly heating planet, and hate on the rise in every corner due to #darkforestinternet #monopolies Quite a #boomer legacy.
Does anyone have thoughts about the #punkt MP02 #mobile #phone? I'm looking for a #hotspot that I can make phone calls on, and text wirh. That works on att in US and international sims.That is all I want. #minimalism #darkforestinternet #android #apple #iphone #kindle #eink
@timixretroplays #darkforestinternet too, or #enshittification is one aspect of the dark forest. Just as #pigbutchering #crytoscam #silos #ebay becoming the largest and apparently legalized fence of #porchpirate stolen and shoplifted goods, #facebook and #instagram murdering teen girls, #monopolies and all of it. Let's not even #genai #llm telling us roaches are normal in our penis holes and pregnants should smoke. It is becoming a horror show of actual death.

It is not just children and #tiktok, app bans and behavior problems. (Which is becoming truer in my experience and is already a crisis in the experience of my teacher partner/other... See also CA recent bills to ban cell phones in school...) Many humans are not ready for this. I may not be, retreating as I am into the seemingly safer confines of #mastodon In any case, #darkforestinternet is real. #pigbutchering is of course just part of it.

Killed by a scam: A father took his life after losing his savings to international criminal gangs. He’s not the only one

Dennis was one of countless victims of a massive global criminal operation predominantly run by predominantly Chinese gangs who have built a multibillion-dollar scam industry in Southeast Asia.

Should I kill my Instagram/Threads I barely use?

What kind of person stays on #Facebook anyway? Well, I do have a #threads bc I got an #instagram to look at exactly one student performance project. Maybe time to kill those after this nonsense? I should have killed both after Mark Zuckerberg murdered all those teen girls! #darkforestinternet indeed.

I will let Mastodon decide, will do when I get enough quit "votes" tell me to quit

AI chatbots are intruding into online communities where people are trying to connect with other humans

People participate in online communities to share experiences and sympathy. AI chatbots that join the conversation can only pretend to offer either.
