@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

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...
