David Gerardhow hard do you have to fuck up posting to turn into a main character on *mastodon*.
RootWyrm 🇺🇦
@davidgerard which of them? Because one of them demanding Mastodon make room for AI bros and explicit fascists is <checks notes> the official Mastodon non-profit's "senior product advisor."
David Fleetwood - RG Admin@rootwyrm @davidgerard Eugen is doing a heel turn now?
@reflex @davidgerard nope, Eugen started the other main character by telling him basically "I'm not the manager, dipshit."
@rootwyrm @davidgerard Yeah, my bad for not reading further down the 800+ posts of my timeline first lol. I purposefully stay away from here on weekends so monday is a bit confusing. My bad!
@reflex @davidgerard all good! The instigating incident:

@rootwyrm @davidgerard A bit of a tangent, but the idea that "mastodon is hostile to AI" as though that's some odd thing when polls show the public is overwhelmingly hostile to AI leads these bros to question Mastodon/fedi and what needs to happen to change that sentiment, vs them asking the real question: Why do other social networks not demonstrate the hostility to AI that masto/fedi do given that the latter seems to align with public sentiment?
Ie: the complaint is the lack of manipulation.
Troed SÃ¥ngbergI'm guessing part of the problem is that you really believe "the public is overwhelmingly hostile to AI" to be true?
It's difficult to ask, for example, public European institutions to consider Mastodon when having read the comments to this post by Mozilla:
@troed @reflex @davidgerard yes. Because, surprisingly, people hate it when they can't trust information, can't trust videos, can't get through phone systems, have systems that no longer function, and the list goes on.
So your entire argument is because people were mean to a shitty organization pushing shitty software that has made the experience objectively worse, everyone is wrong?
@troed @reflex @davidgerard no? You're the one who's all debate me bro.
So debate me bro. Debate me.
Come on. I'm just asking questions.
Debate me bro.
Debate me bro or you're lame.
You're the one who said we had to have a discussion bro.
Why are you running away bro?

@rootwyrm @troed @davidgerard There are reasons they want algorithms and AI, those are forces they can control. Losing a debate is no big deal when you can algorithmically bury the evidence and refer to "grok" as the decider of facts.
