Pretty crazy there’s no PKI in place to verify photos, videos, or text. We just need apps to verify signatures and tell users about the origin. Memes can remain unsigned, but veritable information should always be traceable to a source.
E.g. I’m more inclined to believe a video sourced by AP (sent to me by whomever) than one posted by the white house twitter without signature.
That’s a really good and reasonable idea, which is why I’m absolutely sure it will never happen 😢
Just turn away from your phone screen and go outside. There is an entire non-AI world to explore and steward.
I’ve been getting back into my favorite childhood TV shows and finding some good library books. No AI slop there. 🙂
Can you feel it? You won’t be able to tell soon and that means you’ll just need to plug in like the Matrix. Then it won’t matter right? Everything will be constructed. While the billionaires play in the real world. You’ll be plugged in but you’ll be a billionaire in your own world. You’ll have the same thoughts, feelings, experiences except they will be “fake”. You just better hope that no one turns your shit off, otherwise reality is hell.
Or you know unplug. Touch grass. Cottage core.
I’m more of a Simmental than a Hereford, but the sentiment’s spot on.
Obligatory “Mood”
NIRATIAS (nothing is real and this is a simulation)
Glad to be here, witnessing the death of the internet as we know it here together. I’m pretty sure most of you are real so let’s enjoy the show together before we all go outside again!
As the internet lay dying I wondered if I should be crying A great gift to mankind is losing it’s mind
Should we stay? Said the friends we made along the way
Who are we without web? But who, is the web without the we?
Even as we grieve and leave
Remember.
There is no web without the we And where we go the web will be
The Great Unpluggening!
I think the Internet will persist, but the public spaces on the Internet will ba treated like people treat the tabloid magazines at the grocery store checkout. Unused and largely ridiculed.
I expect invite-only microcommunities will thrive though.
Are you real?
I’m not real
I’m a figment of your imagination
That’s a different lemming.
Well Yes!
AI is utter shite at poetry. Its the only proof of humanity I can convey over text except for swearing to show my humanity
It’s very good at slightly changing the phrasing of existing poetry and passing it off as an original poem
Gone like Geocities.
Yes it sort of feels like online ecosystem collapse. Between all the insincerity, ads and slop. Very few online places feel alive :(
stop looking at it
Go outside and you won’t have to ask.
Go outside
Instantly tracked by 70000000 AI cameras hooked up to the Palantir database
The sea peoples were right, urbanization was a mistake, we must return to monke
Me going outside:
People are just as fake as AI
The animals and plants are pretty cool.
Wow, you’re really just suckling at the teat of Big Bird, aren’t you? No, wait, not like the Big Bird, but…
Birds aren’t real, whatever.
Some of them. I’m not a fan of poison ivy, or geese.
Geese are at least forthcoming with their intent to mess you up
Or prion diseases or parasites that invade brains.
Prion disease, like generic mutations, really boggles my sense of self. There’s no foreign invader battling your own parts for survival. It’s just the substrate that life gets built upon getting fucked up. It highlights the literal truth in the metaphor that we are biological machines.
If it fakes people then it’s fake2
Very few things are as fake as AI… and my best guess is most of them frequent some national Congress building.
ai is false so much because it’s just pulling all the nonsense garbage created by humans, and moreso corporations. it doesn’t think, it just regurgitates garbage on the web and pushes it as factual.
all those meme images, and one liners and make believe stories that are just making fun or stuff when we (typically) know it’s sarcasm/false etc…, yeah… ai don’t care - that’s just facts to it and presents it as such.
ai could have been amazing, if the internet wasn’t riddled with jokes, memes, false info etc etc etc but here we are.
Hear that guys??? It’s time to get serious! No more joking around!
So a jew, a catholic, and a muslim walk into a bar…and things were pretty akward from across the room.
There was a brief window before this mess where we used to be unsure if things were cake or not, I long for those simpler times.
It was all a test all along.
Take a bit out of a person to see if they are made out of linear algebra.
The genie is out of the bottle, but at some point, LLM/image-gen providers are going to have to raise prices for their services. While this won’t do anything to stop self-hosters, it might cut down on the number of casual users just a tiny bit. At least I hope it will!
My concern is that “self hosters” in this context are state actors with their own data centers.
Unfortunately realistic image gen can already be done locally on consumer hardware at the cost of additional rendering time. The cat is out of the bag. And while local video gen is pretty easy to spot, the models just keep getting faster and better at a scary rate.
Oh definitely. But setting up local solutions requires enough time, effort, know-how, and hardware that’s getting more expensive by the minute, meaning that a lot of regular Joe & Jane Blows who got used to free ad-supported options or cheap pay-to-play services might drop out of the game.
Of course, anyone sufficiently motivated to generate images/video at scale is already building out their infrastructure regardless of cost since, presumably, they are going to be state-actors or mercenary influence operations.
I wonder where it would leave the millions of Facebook/Twitter social media engagement-farmers, once their marginal costs start to skyrocket.
And that’s why they keep ai free. Thedifference between losing 1 billion dollar and a billion dollar + 100 000 dollar is marginal. No to mention, they want us addicted, and ai is a perfect means to do so. At some point a virtual friend was a looser’s deal; looking at it now, there is an attempt to normalise virtual companionship. This is the last social media I have, almost all others are gone. I periodically wipe down things, too. And there is always a computer willing to ‘talk’ to me, truly a cyberpunk distopia.
The genie is out of the bottle
This is a lot more like Pandora’s Box - all the evils have been let loose.
This is why I accept everything as true.
ye, worst outcome would be that you compliment a little baby whos to stupid to have their own thoughts on their “work”. but who really cares about them, it is still better to falsely accusing an actual artist of using ai.
Do you really think there’s a 50 foot tall transparent cow out there?
Of course there’s not a transparent cow out there. But there is a giant blue ox.
That’s where you’re wrong. The cow is real but you can’t see it because it has 0% opacity. There’s not many “unexplained” events that still don’t make sense when you know there’s a transparent cow out there somewhere
Wait till your phone start generating fake photos of your past to gaslight you
Hell, any digital journals you keep could be a fake one replaced by AI
Wait are you saying i wasnt holding Flamin’ Hot Cheetos™ right after my childs birth?
You weren’t yet
Soon you will have been
STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS
