People wouldn’t see patterns if you painted racing stripes on their shit. Yeah, some people are smart enough, but the vast majority, not.

Clicks = money = supersede any desire to remove content because of fact checking. Lies yield money as green as the money truth yields.

It’s already over. Our entire society is gonna collapse in the next couple of decades because of AI and climate change. So… I dunno, brace yourself.

Humanity has no self-restraint. If they can, they do. For money. For power. For advantage. For lust. Anything and everything.

Sorry to be such a downer, but the show’s already over. If you think otherwise, tell me please who and how is going to prevent lies, misinformation and deceit on a mass scale from ripping society apart? I hate to be right in this case, but I am. :-(

I haven’t used Brave for many years because I knew about all their shady shit years ago. Everyone knew if they bothered to just read about it.

I have also fallen out of fandom for SW. I love the original trilogy and I really loved Rebels, but they’re squeezing the franchise to death milking every penny out of it they can. And, in doing so, they’re diluting and de-flavoring something that was once special and awesome, into just another consumerized product.

It’s started to happen to Marvel, too, with all the special interest pandering - not to diminish those special interests because they’re important, but do it in a way that’s not at the expense of quality, and storytelling.

So much of pop culture is being harvested like fucking corn, just squeeze every ounce of value out of it and leave a rotting husk in its wake. They don’t care; they got theirs.

Where I live you cannot get any fruit that doesn’t have the goddamn sticker.

Just wait and see.

I don’t know how anyone is pro AI anything other than the pigs making money from it. Only bad can result of it. And will.

On Reddit there were literally bot armies by which thousands of votes could be instantly implemented. It will become a problem if votes have any actual effect.

It’s fine if they’re only there as an indicator, but if the votes are what determine popularity, prioritize visibility, it will become a total shitshow at some point. And it will be rapid. So yeah, better to have a defense system in place asap.

He’s mentally ill there’s no doubt about that. But it makes for good sensationalism so social media loves to just celebrate it.

Fascinating tale! Wow so maybe the bartender didn’t hate anyone just a crotchety guy who’s nevertheless pretty decent at his core.
