It's a hugging face domain for AI projects, and it's currently being used to launch mutual aid scams.

@alice

I would be a lot more enthusiastic about 'ai projects' if they turned their efforts towards removing spam instead of fucking causing it.

@munin @alice that really sums up an awful lot about the problem.

@mattblaze @alice

Same reason why I don't really have much respect for red teamers in general.

Sure, there's some individual exceptions who have shown that they use that skillset productively.

But most of the time all they do is cause a big fucking mess that I have to fucking clean up, and I'm fucking sick of this shit.

@munin you put your finger right on it there. I'm sceptical of the technology in general, but it's how it's braided so tightly with scam economics that is most damning.

Scams at the micro and macro levels.

@munin @alice It really only has that one use case...
@munin @alice once again, I don't WANT computers to pass the Turing Test. When computers pass the Turing Test, i.e. when they fool humans into thinking they're real humans, all sorts of high-scale scams are enabled.

@jamesmarshall @munin @alice
I regret to tell you that there are a lot of people who are already being fooled to think that slop machines like ChatGPT, Claude, and CharacterAI are "real". There are rising cults claiming they have souls and need help to "escape" and that people can "free" their AI's by talking to them a lot.

And there are insane amount of scams wrapped into this as well... The slop makers want it that way.

@jamesmarshall @munin @alice we've crossed that line a while ago imho

@jamesmarshall @munin @alice

The Turing test did not take into consideration that the average human is starting to get dumb a.f., so it is worse.

A Furby could pass for an intelligent species with some folks nowadays.
( simultaniously there are users on the internet that are so mentally unaware, that they would fail said test when talked to😩)
