Molly WhiteThe House Financial Services Republicans and the White House (now deleted) tagged either a hacked or fake account in their announcements that Paul Atkins was sworn in as SEC Chair. The "Atkins" account immediately started asking for crypto.
a stinky ox š@molly0xfff quite apart from anything else just look at that rubbish AI bull. What is that, a third mutated horn coming out of the poor thing's arse? It pisses me off that the crypto grifters repeatedly usurp the image of the noble bull to promote their vapid nonsense, but when they do so in such an egregiously lazy way by using obviously flawed and stupid AI images it doubly gets on my tits. š
suzanne@cshlan @molly0xfff It is, and very obviously so, and to me ity speaks volumes about the mindset of these get-rich-quick shysters that they can't even be arsed to iterate on their prompt a couple of times to get a decent looking result. Just squirt out any old slop, doesn't matter because we're going to the MOOON!
This isn't an isolated case either, I moaned about exactly the same thing a year or so ago. They just don't give the slightest shit about actually producing anything *good*.
tripleman, a šØš¦ in š©šŖ@llamasoft_ox Iām thinking they don't care because their target audience doesn't care. It's careless, greedy stupidity all the way down.
@tripleman It's part of the mindset that some people have where "making money" is a primary goal. Money should be "made" as a byproduct, something received in return for creating something good, providing a beneficial service, or whatever. "Making money" without any associated beneficial output is a null activity, a kind of pointless wheelspinning that deserves no reward at all.
@llamasoft_ox Good thing we haven't built our entire economic system to reward highly motivated, deeply unhappy, clueless people.
