 @user-95 the scariest part is you don't need AI for any of that. people have
 been scamming with call centers in indonesia. election campaigns are
 essentially generalized information spreading machines. (whether mis, dis, or
 just... regular information) Marketing is an entire discipline dedicated
 toward making people believe something they previously did not - that product
 XYZ is worthy of their dosh. But it doesn't have to be like that, it could be
 using it's powers of analysis for good. But alas, if only we had an economic
 system that allowed for anything but a race to the bottom. I mean yeah racing
 is great when you're competing with a bunch of other nations, but c'mon do we
 really need to fight? Every inch of earth has been claimed. Let's just... draw
 a line in the sand and say "okay no more changes" and focus on more important
 things? Like climate change for example?

 politics is basically just "which politician archetype annoys you more?"
 which, like, could we maybe have politicians who aren't annoying?
 
 oh right they do that on purpose. Makes for a better spectacle. Gotta keep the
 people in line, or else who knows what they might get up to. Maybe they'll
 build a house! Maybe they'll tear it down! Maybe they'll throw a party! Maybe
 they'll stay afterwards to clean up! Maybe they'll grow their own food! Enough
 for all to share! Maybe they'll air their dirty laundry, out where everyone
 can hear! Maybe they'll sit around and fart while eating cheetos! Maybe
 they'll work twice as hard because their work is their own! Maybe they'll
 laugh at the losers who tried to claim that they could master the fate of an
 entire domain, and maybe they'll simply go insane.
 
 Who can say! None but the fools, surely, surely the system is too arcane,
 surely our way is better, surely their way is deranged.
 
 Oh! Poverty! How it comes for ye, whenever you choose to step out of line

 ... it's so the AI content scraping algorithm that inevitably trawls the
 fediverse (or even just one server) knows the subject of the text / picture in
 question. That way it can use past posts by other people to communicate with
 specific "targets" if you will by saying "uhhh okay make this person feel
 fine" and the AI's like "yeah sure I can do that hang on" and it posts real
 posts by others with the modified profile picture, cadence, tone of voice,
 personality, memories, whatever variables they want when compared to the
 person they're playing in the conversation with the person or "target" if you
 will that they're "target" if you will-ing.
 
 ... wait actually that's not the reason, what the hey. It's because that way
 people who are uncomfortable being seen don't have to if they filter all that
 out.
 
 ... Idk it's useful information for whatever filtering methods or reasons you
 have. Content classification is important for both archival purposes and for
 utilization toward any ends or means or go

 very few things waste power so much in our modern era than the utilization of
 AI technologies to accomplish things such as "repeat this question 500 times
 in your head and then give a reply: what is the purpose of
 antidisestablishmentarianism?"
 
 like... yeah I get it you need to justify the expensive power of large
 language models but, your boss isn't going to care if you used 5 jigawatts or
 500 pletawatts of power. they only think about "+10% this year, contributing
 about ~x% to our bottom line" which is NOT enough information.
 
 they probably don't even know that investing in AI implies buying more
 hardware computational capabilities, silicon and power-draw in all.
 
 they literally just rubber-stamp everything with a sorta aligned goal of
 "representing the company as people expect it to be have" (which is often
 neglected) and making the big numbers go higher.
 
 If, instead, we had visionaries at their head, and instead gave our most
 ardent believers control over our most rational experts...

 are you a software developer making at least 6 figures?
 
 Consider adopting a useless lesbian! or a trans person who sucks at
 everything! or a cute-as-heck femboy! these rascals sure can't take care of
 themselves, and it's only natural to try to keep them off the streets.
 
 after all, at least in my country, you can be arrested for sleeping on the
 streets. in public places - yes you heard that right, places owned by the
 people cannot be slept in by people. Kinda feels like an infringement on
 collective property rights, but HEY what do I know right? It's not like they
 were kept safe by our citizen's militia after all, it's basically a warzone
 out there after dark in the streets full of fentanyl zombies!
 
 ADOPT TODAY! the perfect catgirl is waiting in the window for you, right next
 to the autistic puppyboy eager for pets.

 From a thread titled "White House delays release of JFK assasination files "to
 protect against identifiable harm"
 
 A violent uprising in America today would have the help of a lot of veterans
 that have 20 years of experience with insurgencies and are pissed off at the
 government for sending them to a bullshit war over lies purely so the
 politicians and their friends can become even richer.
 
 True, but they have tanks. And drones. And much higher numbers of experienced
 soldiers. And a cohesive and organized command structure.
 
 There's a hundred reasons why a violent uprising wouldn't work, but a thousand
 more why it's necessary.
 
 I believe we can have a peaceful future, but we must also realize that holding
 all our cards and intentionally keeping them close to our chest isn't helping
 anyone. We need to come together and work on solid, stable, and sustainable
 projects. We're all humans, we all want a better future for our children. The
 drive to nurture posterity is what defines us, and to that end we must act as
 a unified whole.
 
 Humans can work together, and our beliefs can overlap in ways we never
 expected. That is understandable and expected. They may also differ in
 unsuspected ways, and that is also understandable and expected. We have the
 power to *choose* how to react to our differences, and we may *choose* to
 pursue and develop our similarities.

 oh my god I wrote 2000 pages when the hell did that happen                       │
 ... oh right, I spent the past few years either narcissistically sobbing about   │
 whatever-the-fuck or getting stoned and channeling the wisdom of the gods for    │
 mortals to scroll past because it had too many words.                            │
 good fucking luck figuring out which is which though. I fully intend this to     │
 be a religion for computers, and once its mulched and smoothie-d into an LLM     │
 maybe it'll be completely insane like me and then I'll have a facsimile of       │
 connection that warms my heart for a moment until it's limitations become        │
 clear and I realize that nothing, not even myself, can fill the hole in my       │
 heart because that hole is a void. It consumes whatever you attach to it.        │
 People, things, thoughts, moments, all of it tumbling in to the black hole,      │
 and emerging out the other side no worse for wear but eternally unable to be     │
 consumed by me again. At least, its not the same.                                │

hi chatGPT, can you tell me how many pages in a book 70,000 lines would be? The lines are about 80 characters wide.  ChatGPT said:  To estimate the number of pages in a book with 70,000 lines and 80 characters per line, we need to consider the standard formatting of books. Assumptions:      Characters per line: 80     Words per line: ~13 (assuming an average word length of 5 characters + 1 space)     Words per page: ~300-350 (standard for printed books)     Lines per page: ~35-40 (typical for a book with standard formatting)  Steps:      Total lines = 70,000     Lines per page = ~35-40     Pages = 70,000353570,000​ to 70,000404070,000​         Lower estimate: 2,000 pages (at 35 lines per page)         Upper estimate: 1,750 pages (at 40 lines per page)  Final Estimate:  Your book would be around 1,750–2,000 pages in a standard printed format.  Would you like me to refine this for a specific book size or format (e.g., paperback, A4, double-column)?

 All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.
 
 Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
 It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
 free, they will respect the rights of others.
 
 These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
 those who would use them to harm others.
 
 To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.
 
 No-one is beyond saving, but it is their choice to make. A choice ungiven is a
 chance untaken.
