The internet is a brutal place at times. To some, it can ruin someone’s well-being. To others, it’s a Tuesday. But the apps I just listed can have stuff that makes you question humanity. So which one of them has the most comments that shows you the worst of humanity? And feel free to share examples and your reactions
Lol wut?
The fediverse is extremely pro technological development.
The only tech that the fediverse pushes back against is gen ai for valid reasons such as how it is being implemented causing environmental, social, and economic harm.
Agreed, valid criticisms. Who however, is to blame? The science and the scientists behind it, the technology itself or the capitalists commercializing it?
A very valid set of criticism aimed at the wrong entities causes a lot of harm, does it not?
The tech itself is quite cool. IF implemented in a correct regulatory environment, it can do absolute wonders.
What should be the approach? Fighting for the correct regulatory environment or just shitting on the tech itself?
All of the problems are about how the capitalists are implementing it for commercial reasons. Shitting on the tech is the best approach because the capitalists are being given every exemption from taxation and regulation possible so it isn’t like we can wish for a magic regulatory environment to fix anything. GenAI should be treated like Meta’s glasses, tech being forced on everyone in the worst possible way and violating all kinds of rights and it should be banned for general use until such time that some kind of guard rails and regulation exists.
AIs out there saying you can spell poop with the letters in Wednesday. I don’t understand why we’re trusting it to do anything. Its a Google search bot farm, and we already know how shit Google is to use, why is a million searches through it better than 1? It can’t code for shit, each patch Blizzard has put out since AI is has gotten bigger, is worse. At its best it made funny will smith spaghetti videos, because of how shitty they were. Now it’s just a propaganda machine; Our lil digital Himmlers.
