will be thinking about this probably for the rest of the week
[ID: Image of a Twitter post by user cooldudetm, of a wrinkly baby parrot covered in spiny pinfeathers and dusty fluff. A thermometer is under its armpit and reads 40.1 Celsius. The image is captioned "nephew is warm." Also visible are comments "why he bald π’", "he baby, babies bald", "baby", and "He was just bornt". End ID.]

hey itβs ok if you lost your ai virginity back when you were uneducated. a lot of posts go like βreblog if you have never ever used generative ai and never ever will!!!β but itβs ok if you have used gen ai before and itβs even ok if you used to think it was cool, back before you understood what it really was and how it worked, either because no one had taught you about it and you discovered it on your own or because the only education you had received about it was from the tech bros. youβre not a burger with a bite out of it for having used ai. ok
It is 100 percent okay to stop using it today and join the "boo AI" club.
This isn't a purity thing. This is a "everyone stand with us against destroying the environment and giving asthma to poor people" thing.
Did you know that when one community says no to an AI data center, they specifically search out communities with fewer resources? Communities that can't defend themselves? And the pollution 100 percent affects their health and wellbeing, in addition to burning through our already scarce drinking water.
You can stop using character.ai today. You can say "I listened to the facts and stopped." And another thing: don't you think it's a bit more impactful to have used it, stopped, and then you're in a position to say how little it helped? How doing things for yourself improved your life?
also posts in the spirit of "if you've used AI even ONCE your soul is tainted!!!!" can't be great to those with OCD
idk why people photoshopped the crying cat meme on this pic when the unedited version is so powerful
Queer joy detected!
This is what audio processing disorder feels like
sometimes I randomly think about the time a girl posted in this girls only Facebook group Iβm in telling everyone how she broke up with her boyfriend and he lied saying that he lost the spare key she gave him, only to then break into her apartment when she wasnβt home and steal the cat theyβd adopted while they were together, but then he denied having done this and she didnβt really have proof that he took the cat since he wouldnβt let her come into his place and look for it. And then another girl saw this post and knew her ex-boyfriend, and she was like βgirl. I used to hook up with your mans back in xxxx and I still have his number. If you want, Iβll hit him up and get him to invite me back to his place and see if your catβs there.β And the OP was like βbet.β
So this woman hit up homie dog, asked him out for drinks, went home with him, slept with him, and then woke up in the middle of the night and TOOK THE CAT. Like she had only said that she would confirm if the cat was there but then she took it upon herself to steal this womanβs cat back. Like she full on Trojan horsed this man and then hit up homegirl like βI got the goods. Where you wanna meet.β And then the two of them posted a photo of them together with the cat to the group.
And I just think women supporting women is so beautiful.
Alarmed by what companies are building with artificial intelligence models, a handful of industry insiders are calling for those opposed to the current state of affairs to undertake a mass data poisoning effort to undermine the technology. Their initiative, dubbed Poison Fountain, asks website operators to add links to their websites that feed AI crawlers poisoned training data. It's been up and running for about a week. AI crawlers visit websites and scrape data that ends up being used to train AI models, a parasitic relationship that has prompted pushback from publishers. When scaped data is accurate, it helps AI models offer quality responses to questions; when it's inaccurate, it has the opposite effect.Β
[...]
Poison Fountain was inspired by Anthropic's work on data poisoning, specifically a paper published last October that showed data poisoning attacks are more practical than previously believed because only a few malicious documents are required to degrade model quality. The individual who informed The Register about the project asked for anonymity, "for obvious reasons" β the most salient of which is that this person works for one of the major US tech companies involved in the AI boom.

i'm going to argue that chronically online and chronically on phone are two different things actually. the phone internet is different from the real internet and companies are trying desperately to make the real internet more like the phone internet... and they're sadly succeeding. hope this makes sense and if it doesn't oh well
Hey. Stop for a second. Take this moment to appreciate that you don't have to write a paper right now. No one is asking you to write a paper. You don't have to think about the paper or plan your time around the paper. You have the freedom to think about whatever you want. Everything is going to be okay. At least you don't have to write a paper right now
this hit me like a truck
