If you pour water in the drain and follow it long enough, eventually it’ll come out of your shower again. You’re practically washing up with sewage.

Forums are a social media subcategory.

AI is not synonymous with LLM. AlphaFold figured out protein folding. It’s an AI but not an LLM.

Must be local to a community I don’t subscribe to or it’s somehow getting caught by my content filters.

It doesn’t matter that you personally don’t use it. Other people do and you can’t escape the influence they have on you no more than they can that of an LLM.

I also find it odd to have such a strong opinion about something you have zero first-hand experience of.

ChatGPT alone has over 800 million weekly users yet you doubt this because you personally don’t use one?

I’ve yet to detect even a hint of right-wing / nazi bias on Grok. I get that it’s a popular narrative but it simply just doesn’t hold true according to my experience. It’s not that much different from ChatGPT really - just slightly less restricted.

When it comes to music, all I care is whether it sounds good or not. Same applies to AI generated content: if it’s better than human made content then I want that.

Though in the case of consciousness - the fact of there being something it’s like to be - not only don’t we know what causes it or how it works, but we have no way of measuring it either. There’s zero evidence for it in the entire universe outside of our own subjective experience of it.

Fair and flawless comparison. I’ve got nothing to add.

I’m not sure what this information is good for.

I’m slightly concerned about what the future holds in regards to AI porn, especially for me and other people like me with a higher-than-average draw towards porn.

I’ve been playing around with generating softcore pictures with AI and then turning those into video, and while it’s far from perfect, it’s pretty fucking good already, and it’s only going to get better. Some of the stuff it generates you literally can’t tell apart from a real picture/video, and it lets me specify my exact niche kinks and preferences and then spits out an endless feed of just that. In the past I’ve had to sift through piles of crap only to find a few gems, but not with AI - it serves me exactly what I ask for, and I never run out of new content.

What’s also noteworthy is that while we’re speaking of porn now, this will however apply to all media. Music, movies, TV series, games, or just YouTube- or TikTok-like video feeds. An endless stream of content perfectly tailored to your exact tastes, and every next piece of content just going to be better than the last one.

We’re going to be entertained to death.

I post post adult content and I follow other people who do the same. There are some extremely niche fetish communities there that you’ll struggle finding anywhere else. I also like that since it’s not a dedicated porn site there’s a lot of people following and messaging me with their personal profiles and getting thirsty comments from closeted gay conservatives, muslims and even extremists is quite fun.

TikTok but without users.

It was walking so smooth untill it tripped. I’m sure a minor software patch will fix that.

The study indicates that spending between $2,000 and $4,000 on an engagement ring is linked to a 1.3 higher risk of divorce when compared against those who spent between $500 and $2,000.

False equivalence is a logical fallacy where two subjects are incorrectly compared as if they are equal, despite significant differences between them. This often leads to misleading conclusions, as it oversimplifies complex issues by ignoring important factors.

I think what you meant to say was “boo cars!”

Highlighting individual cases like this is a good way to capture human emotions but the focus should be on the big picture. The moment a self driving car is statistically safer than a human driver it becomes the objectively better alternative. The fact that accidents will still keep happening nevertheless isn’t a reason to revert back to human drivers.

This same “trick” is used in charity advertisements: starving kid will capture the attention of people but a starving village will not despite the fact that it contains that same kid.

15% of these subreddits contained content likely posted by bots or corporate trolls

That’s very different from 15% of all reddit content being that.

Yet another great example of how easily people accept a headline as fact when it supports their prior beliefs. It really shows how gullible people can be - even when they probably think of themselves as critical media consumers, at least compared to the average Reddit user.
