The fresh prince is an ancient text now. It’s a few lines on the wikipedia page of the guy who slapped that other guy at the Oscars

They’re not exactly trying to avoid looking insane so probably the latter

Pretty sure this guy just runs around Lemmy trying to stir things up. I had a run-in with him recently that was needless contentious and I’m not surprised to see him doing the same thing here

Amazing tagline. You should pitch this to their marketing team

The point is not that we can’t imagine speculative technologies. The point is that this is a grift which distracts from the real and present threat of AI like the threats to privacy, artists’ livelihoods and the internet itself which is being poisoned by LLM generated content

Without access to the meme, this is going to be so confusing for people in the future

I don’t think he plans on delivering much product at all

Well good news. If the product you’re imagining is ‘Skynet’ or a ‘god-mommy’ both of those are science fiction and we don’t need whatever this bullshit is to save us

Possibly the most obtuse person I’ve encountered on Lemmy

I think we need regulation, that doesn’t make me a person who irrationally hates children skateboarding.

Also skateboarding hasn’t led to and been complicit in genocide on two continents, but social media has in Asia and Africa. If it had, maybe you’d see people writing op-eds about that instead of social media companies that value profits more than human life

It’s extremely low of anyone to make to distressing news about a public death. These people might be famous, but they have families and friends whose heart will sink when they see this news. Not to mention the members of the public who will be shocked by this

The sad thing is he will probably die soon and we will be hit even harder because or this

Again… banning the worst practices of social media is to help people. I think this is a comprehension issue at this point.

We need to break them up, and legislate against their practices for the future but this is something that can happen right away and hit them in their pockets

That was in my original comment. I was clearly making the point that the aim is to legislate against harmful practices. I don’t think most people need it spelled out for them why that is, or why we can’t do it right away but I’ve done my best to be patient in explaining it to you.

If you want to take a weird stance that I’m being mean to corporations that’s up to you, but I didn’t say anything vengeful let alone posted a ‘screed’

It’s really not about revenge. It’s about taking back power from corporations and giving it to the people. Right now, political power is with the highest bidder and these companies know it.

They are using the money from advertising to lobby and buy politicians, which is what stops us from having sensible regulations for social media. Taking away that revenue stream inhibits their ability to do this, so it’s a win for the people

Now do every other prosperity gospel preacher

The relatively low level of plastic in our testicles

The rest of these comments are surprising because I don’t remember anyone past an interaction we had. Now I’m wondering whose shit list I’m on

Except many advertisers don’t want to be associated with damaging things. So this has an impact on advertising revenue for social media companies and they would absolutely view this as a blow to their public image.

We need to break them up, and legislate against their practices for the future but this is something that can happen right away and hit them in their pockets

The scale of human suffering across the planet is enough to make your stomach turn
