You are right my friend. But i’m afraid that this might be at odds with annonimity online. These micro communities might look a lot like this, just more restrictive on the user registration side.

I can imagine that we may have a federated community of human verified forums. Where you have to go to the computer club at least once to get a forum account.

Anyways, the death of online truth and authenticity gives us a tremendous opportunity to reinvent what online contact should look like. But inevitably, it will be more outside and less online I think.

Yes it sort of feels like online ecosystem collapse. Between all the insincerity, ads and slop. Very few online places feel alive :(

Well Yes!

AI is utter shite at poetry. Its the only proof of humanity I can convey over text except for swearing to show my humanity

Glad to be here, witnessing the death of the internet as we know it here together. I’m pretty sure most of you are real so let’s enjoy the show together before we all go outside again!

As the internet lay dying I wondered if I should be crying A great gift to mankind is losing it’s mind

Should we stay? Said the friends we made along the way

Who are we without web? But who, is the web without the we?

Even as we grieve and leave

Remember.

There is no web without the we And where we go the web will be

Thanks for responding. I don’t have time to write a proper reply (sleepy) but wanted to say bye. Thanks for chatting!

I find it difficult to pick a side, so I guess I don’t. I am a researcher and I also work with ML models everyday to make things that can help real people. But I would hesitate to say that LLMs have been a net positive for humanity.

I guess what it comes down to is that the potential for misuse feel limitless, while the potential for good feels limited to me. Technology is only as good as the people using it. That says less about the technology and more about the current state of the world.

Although I think that the world would have been better without LLMs, that is wishful thinking. It’s better to tackle the underlying problems that are being amplified by LLMS, namely: in-authenticity, misinformation and online slop.

That is why I come here, this place still has some sense of authenticity. Like us, engaging in real discussion, It’s not a proper meaningful human interaction, but hey we all want to relax online sometimes.

I would be happy to hear your thoughts.

Best,

A real fellow human.

I would hereby like to issue a formal invitation to the pro-human community!

With the emphasis lying on breaking free from the fake and inauthentic interactions of digital life. You can still have a digital life and even use a some AI, but the human spirit should not be smothered in the way that it is now.

(partial sarcasm) Join today rediscover your humanity!

Edit: Preaching to the choir here I imagine

I like the term community pilled instead of anti AI. Simply placing meaningful human interaction over soulless machine interaction.

I took kernel device driver programming as a course in uni. They were still teaching the device driver course but not the operating system course you were supposed to take before that. Always felt like I have been systematically lacking that knowledge because of that. I’m interested!

Idk why I like this, high quality healthy shit post.

I have seen some others, but I checked the account and they haven’t posted for a year or so. Seems like they quit after they started using alternate characters.

I know it’s a little crazy to me. I know of at least one guy who quit the platform after he started experimenting with alternate characters as an armchair linguist, because of the hate they were getting. Can’t people have their fun or be different? Do you also go crazy if someone makes a spelling mistake or if you see a ßöøê character? In get the misinformation part for the other person, but I still think some of you are overreacting.

Is it your body?

I don’t quite get your question, but It’s not bullshit, I believe that the terms were first coined by Marx (if memory serves). The base superstucture model is just a model by which to view the world, in that it explains (to some degree) how sociocultural/economic and other phenomenon arise from the means and relations of production, which is definitely true to some extent. But no model is perfect and it’s not the only model. The world is pretty complex and people can and do take actions that defy this model.

Source, I tagged along with an anthropology course where this was covered. So I definitely don’t know everything there is to know.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, but that sounds genuinely aweful. I’ve had these treats for my cat as well, but I didn’t realize that they could be that addictive.

Can you elaborate?

luckily it’s a shitpost and not a correctpost

Thank you for replying
