in the much simpler "fuck you" format, fuck plutocrat "freeze peach" manipulated social media

mastodon/ the fediverse is cool

@benroyce @cmconseils Hmmm...conflicted. Grok could use a good pegging.

@cmconseils do I need to shave so I look less like Ai Wei Wei?
@cmconseils I'm just curious about something. Where is the line with "AI" (I prefer to think of it as virtual intelligence, but I'm kinda autistic)? I'm a little worried, because, when you play a video game, and there's npc's wandering about, doing the things they do, that's them running a script automatically. That's "ai." If I we eliminating ALL "ai" then... well, it's gonna be a big problem for video games. o_O

@Inverse_Shadow @cmconseils There is no line. NegaMax is AI.

But that's not what's important. The AI issue isn't a technological one. Yeah, it takes a lot of compute power but that doesn't mean it needs to be the ONLY thing we dedicate our entire future and infrastructure to computing. Doesn't mean we have to let companies steal from all of us. These are social and political problems being forced on us by really stupid, greedy shitheads.

@crazyeddie @cmconseils can we keep our calculators? They're kina important...
@Inverse_Shadow @cmconseils Oh, yep. You tricked me. Good one. I hope you got plenty of giggles ;)

@cmconseils

hurray. let's share this in social media..... ?!?

@cmconseils

I don't mind the sentiment, but most books are gibberish.

@cmconseils Ooh, looks like my kind of bookstore for sure.
@cmconseils This is funnier than it should be.
@cmconseils If I ask a book to marry me, it'd turn me down and force me to marry AI. I can't have a relationship with a human being of my species. Why would I think I can marry a book?
@cmconseils I loaned my physical copy of "The Age of Surveillance Captalism" out today to a meatspace friend.
@cmconseils I like the energy of that place!
@cmconseils I mean, really. Not our finest hour.
@cmconseils
It seems they are implying that they like books and dislike social media and AI.

@rayotron @cmconseils what is with books written by AI?

they like books but no AI, so combining them gives them a neutral view on AI books?

@utf_7 @cmconseils
Good question! Maybe so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What if they married a book but later learned it was written by AI? Would they get a divorce? What about the children?

@cmconseils I understand the sentiment here, but I'd like to throw my 2 cents here.

Are all books marriage material? No, not necessarily.

I think what's missing nowadays is the skill of critical thinking.

Are all social media bad? No, not really. Social media woke us up to a lot of things that we couldn't see before via corporate media.

Social media, is just a medium, just like books. What really matters is, can we as individuals think about the message critically. Can we distinguish the difference between a fact and an opinion? Can we accept that there is no absolutes in every argument (violation of human rights as the exception).

Again, I understand the sentiment but let's say books can also be biased

@cmconseils

I can agree to an extent. The irony of responding to this on a social media platform is not lost on me though.

As for marrying books, I'd prefer to read them. Some are definately single.
