Welp, there’s nothing to lose I think. I’m gonna give it a shot and see if it works

Oh, by “that space” I meant the space where that specific person hung out in, not AI research in general

Though I have heard a fair share of idiotic takes from actual researchers as well

I have seen AI apologists talk about how “AI” is already sentient and we shouldn’t restrict it because it’s immoral.

That straight up killed my desire to interact in that space the community with that person

🥰 😳 thank you

I mean, sure. My comment was entirely tongue in cheek. I didn’t like awards, especially those that are more than just a glorified emoji (such as those I mentioned)

But, truth be told, the wealthy can just straight up buy discussions and opinions. User farms/bots aren’t free, and neither was Twitter currently X. Nothing can hide from the cruel hand of capital. The fediverse isn’t immune to this either: it’s too small for anyone rich to buy out, but there’s very little preventing them from just buying one of the larger instances. And even without that, it still privileges those with money - hosting isn’t free.

The most we can do is to stay vigilant, I suppose. Be aware of the inherent biases in the world and refuse to engage with systems that are too strongly captured - Twitter currently X, the zuck platform, Reddit soon (probably).

Didn’t a lot of traditions start this way? First they solved some problem, then they forgot the problem existed and continued to apply the solution

But it doesn’t make your comment glow/move around/whatever the fuck awards did

To be fair, Rust Evangelists are fucking annoying and it’s fun to hate them.

How do I know? Would you like to talk about lord and savior, Ferris?

I just wanted to use the bot in good faith (me having more money is good) to understand how a process works (the process of me receiving money) :3

Even earlier, the original r/195 was left leaning.

Examples from top of all time:
Pro-socialist mockery of liberals
Cop hatred
Queerposting
Transposting before it was cool
Anti-capitalism

There was a lot more of this. Though nowadays, especially after the disaster, r/196 has lost its leftist edge. There aren’t as many posts about world events as there used to be. Or about the people.

I didn’t notice that it was the patient’s friend’s cocktail and got a solid dose of “what the fuck maple leaf country” before I noticed

jizzed 😳

I’ll bite back >:3

I don’t think I know enough about anarchism to really dispute that. Though how much can the proletariat gain compared to the capitalists from AI? FOSS models are limited - I don’t think most people have supercomputers required for the training in their basements.

I will however question your denial of community. What definition of that word do you use? We’re not in a worker - capitalist relationship all the time. See: us right now, right here. See: me with other students at my university. Class distinctions are irrelevant to that.
Hell, Lemmy as a whole is a tech enthusiast community to an extent, though it being a lesser known specific form of social media introduces forces that make this community different in meaningful ways (e.g. it’s not corporate - there are fewer corpowhores here, it requires more effort to get in - people here will be on average more interested in actually contributing something meaningful).
On top of that, you mentioned FOSS models. Who were they built by? Corporations? Or a bunch of loosely associated volunteers who came together to work towards a shared goal? Is this not a community? (Those are actual questions btw, I couldn’t be bothered to check)
And with some form of a community comes some form of culture and morality.

As for additional forces even in workplaces, did you know most tech workers are men?

And as an aside, where have I said that it’s the tech workers who are responsible for bad, unethical solutions? I’m pretty I explicitly claimed the opposite

Yeah I’m gonna need some elaboration on that. How is AI anarchist? What exactly do you mean by anarchism? And how does this relate to my comment about the moral and intellectual (and thus cultural) tendencies in software engineering and the wider tech community?

random code monkeys aren’t evil or too stupid to figure out opt-in is more ethical

Coming in with a hot fucking take, they very much are that evil and/or stupid. They’re not at fault for how the software is structured, but judging by the crazes around tech hype (crypto, AI, NFTs) and my personal experience with average code monkeys, they would happily support “unethical” solutions (like opt-out tracking) if asked

The age old question of do the traps be, in fact, gay

To which the answer is that there is no gay, no straight, nothing makes any fucking sense, everyone is bisexual (or asexual) but also there is no bisexuality (or asexuality)
