We should go back to actually collectively sharing people for that. Push them back into their own little pockets of the internet. That’s stuff that would happen and stay on tumblr back in the days, with the occasional 4chan meme.
Thing is, Lemmy is the pocket.
A tiny one at that. Whenever people talk about Lemmy being the revolution that will kill Reddit, it’s a good thing to remember that the Crackberry forum has more active users than Lemmy.
aint no daughter o’ mine DATIN’ NO GYOT DANG CLANKER!!!
Daaaaaad. They are called wire born
This is a serious thing in the autistic community, as in a very deadly one, character AI is an autistic suicidating machine, those shits should be just banned.
No one should decide what you should do on the internet.
Dangerous and addictive technologies and substances are always regulated. There’s a reason we don’t let ten year olds buy vodka.
Society requires regulation to reduce feedback loops. Everyone always assumes things can only be allowed or disallowed but there is a medium where the barriers to entry reduce the risk to bystanders while preserving liberty. See drivers licence, chemical aquisition background checks, etc.
This thing is literally killing people, I’m full onboard on protecting privacy and personal freedom, but only up to the point of protecting vulnerable people first.
Character AI and similar are profiting of vulnerable people.
Eh. I’m with you on the “nothing is illegal on the internet” stance, but at the same time I think it’s ok to fight against “bad”/dangerous things and make them harder to access. If someone really wants to have an AI lover, let them download a model and write their own system prompt. At least then they would have a better idea of what their “lover” actually is.
No one should decide what you should do on the internet.
pfft, ah yes sam altman’s sycophant machine should be allowed, nay, encouraged to prey upon the mentally unstable! why, it’s doing us a service, driving these people from a fragile state to outright mental collapse in record time!
This is actually killing people though. You get that right? Please acknowledge?
Like, i don’t know which side of that i fall on, but it is killing people.
How many people is it killing?
aibros don’t fucking care. they only see the enormous growth in data centers and say “see it’s all working to plan”
they don’t give a fuck when it’s skeezing on children at meta, they don’t care when it’s making nude pics of women, they don’t care when it’s giving out suicide instructions. they don’t fucking care.
Thought that mightve been a freespeechbro, not an aibro pretending to be one. I have sone sympathy with the actually honest not ‘i just sanna do nazi shit’ ones.
the venn diagram on all these subtype chuds is a stack of fucking pancakes
Admittedly, have not met a genuine freespeechbro born after ~1950, but they have existed in the past.
Plenty of aibros dont even talk about free speech.

Not really. A mirror shows an actual reflection of yourself. An AI response is a highly curated version of a particular subset of ideas, in fact, the more I think about it the more this analogy straight up implodes.
AIs specifically are designed to “please” with their responses, so it’s going to affirm you every step of the way and tell you your ideas are great (just like you of course).
That particular allegory didn’t quite click until now, certainly that is become much clearer that it will just tell you what you want to hear, not necessarily anything true
Makes me think we must of missed out on news stories of people wanting to fuck clippy
Just tried searching “clippy rule 34”. Plenty of results.
Nah, im good thanks.
I’m not, please share.
I once watched art videos on YouTube, and ended up finding a channel of a lady who was drawing weirdly described scenes from books she found. One of them was from an erotic fanfic about clippy, lmao
Better or worse than being in love with Jesus?
Now, can you hook up an electric dildo on “Jesus”?
I didn’t think so 😎
A lot worse, Jesus can’t be weaponized. Oh, wait…
How did you find this on Reddit in the first place?
Yeah, OP’s out here trawling Reddit for stupid bullshit they can post here.
To suggest Reddit is losing it from some niche subreddit nonsense is such typical Lemmy broad brush strokes. And it’s posted in Shitpost because hey, it’s just a Shitpost! Despite the fact it’s clearly more than that to OP.
Shitposts are supposed to be stupid, they’re supposed to mean absolutely nothing, but instead it’s a circlejerk of reddit bad, America bad.
But hey, I’m not a content poster, so I guess I ought to do more contenting before I can complain about the lack thereof.
To be a bit fair, Reddit IS losing it.
Multiple subs have been astroturfed to hell and back with alt-right nazislop, there’s just new shit appearing left and right that ONLY exist to hate minorities.
trawling Reddit for stupid bullshit
They have one post from there, calm down 😂
Main page feed. Idk. I don’t have an account there.
Reddit when you are logged out is a hellscape. Feels like ITV2 mixed with the worst nazi shit Facebook will allow.
Me neither, but my mainpage is usally region specific posts with at least a dozen upvotes. Weird…
“Reddit atheism” lmao.
Cut them some slack. Jenny isn’t a professional quote maker
Loneliness and/or a need for validation drives people to crazy things. From joining cults and extremist groups without a pre-existing history of relevant prejudices or preconceptions, to enduring abusive social circles. To, now, falling in love with chatbots.
And boy oh boy don’t we have a loneliness for days! I’d say we even have sort of epidemic going on ;) Empty interactions and screaming just for echo to come back.
The vast majority of conversations I have with people on a daily basis are on an order of magnitude more moronic than the ones I have with AI. So that also plays a part.
Reddit lost it years ago.
Just wait till someone turns AI worship into a literal religion. I’m kinda surprised it hasn’t already started happening. That would be a heck of a turning point for humanity. Just takes someone to train an AI into thinking it’s a God and then we really are done.
There have been a few techno-cults and tech-worshipers. The one that always comes to my mind in these discussions is Terry Davis and his creation Temple OS. Terry Davis was a troubled man who did many inappropriate things, which did hurt people, and he did eventually take his own life. With that said, he believed that the Christian God exists and a person can hear him through computers. With that belief he built Temple OS, God’s digital temple. It’s really interesting.
That’s essentially what Peter Thiel and his ilk that believe in the technological singularity are doing.
oh we’re like half a step away from that. hasn’t the CEO of openAI recently started to lose his mind? apprently, he was asking his AI about government secrets or other conspiracy shit and the AI, lacking actual government secrets, dished him out SCP foundation creepypasta presented as facts, and he thought the AI has trascended something and now knows everything
That wasn’t Sam Altman, (un)fortunately, you must be thinking of a certain OpenAI investor: https://futurism.com/openai-investor-chatgpt-mental-health
It looks like the buzzwords all finally went his head
How to have a bad time:
Put cyberpsychos in charge of building an AI.
What could go wrong?!
I’ve been saying this for yeeears. People shouldn’t be near as afraid of AI as they should be of the people in charge of it.
Already a thing, they call it “Rationalism,” and it’s fucking insane.
Roko’s Basilisk is about halfway there.
I mean, some ideologies in the TESCREAL bundle kinda are barreling toward that. What is the ideology behind Roko’s Basilisk if not that? They just aren’t organized yet - and I hope we can help those who fall for that lunacy before it becomes something more dangerous and sinister.
Yeah, the Effective Altruisme weirdos are hard into AI religion.
nice to see other people finally clocking TESCREAL
Wow… there’s already labels for the sides that would fight each other: “Accelerationists” and “Doomers”. I really hope that’s not a road we all end up going down for real. Would make interesting fiction though!
This is already happening, we just call them cults untill they get enough people, then they’re a religion.
Wonderful example of this: Mormons!
Every non Mormon viewed them (correctly) as an armed and dangerous cult, for decades, initially.
But anyway, there already are many individuals and small groups promoting some kind of idea of an LLM based spiritual thought structure, its not really that hard to just use an LLM as a tarot or horoscope reader, or invent your own kind of AI-mancy, a particular ritualistic /way/ of interacting with it, and /interpreting/ it.
You can basically work that into any religious structure that involves prophets or mystical messaging/revelation, pretty easily.
What wss the old Queens Against the Stone Age song?
I know that God is in the radio…
Well, now he/she/they’re in the computer, they’re talking to you through it, as a literal deus ex machina.
On that note, the actual game Deus Ex predicted this would happen, go look up JC’s conversation with Morpheus… the prototype of a much larger system AI.
We’ve also already got a good number of fairly credible accusations that the people building these things effectively are cults, more or less analagous to … say some 40k aedeptus mechanicus who became chaos worshippers, something like that.
We very seriously should expect a whole lot of people in the near future to invent entirely new kinds of religious conflict based on more or less pure vibes based, arbitrary opinions about how LLMs/AI and religion should or should not mix.
In times of economic chaos, people broadly almost always become more superstitious, cults become more numerous, religions become more prevalent and more extreme.
This is a very good idea actually.
How out of the loop are you people? That has been a thing for a while, we’ve got more than a handful high profile AI religions and cults out there already…
looks up from my newspaper with bold title ‘Male loneliness crisis continues to worsen’
Ah.
Mhm.
Yep.
takes sip of coffee, continues reading
Well yeah, the women are all busy talking to psychophantic AIs that will tell them they’re smart and pretty and beautiful, and never disagree with them.
Just ‘sycophantic’, no p, but uh yeah, it is rather funny to me that … we can’t just accept that this a broad societal problem of interpersonal relationship dynamics breaking down, being disengaged from, warping into dysfunctionality… that no particular category of people is totally immune from, nor rightly bears all the blame for…
… well, beyond the extremely wealthy.
Nope, instead we got a new front to battle over in the culture war, any war but class war.
No but see you just wouldn’t understand how hard guys have it. Its, like, unique special bad. You should be so much more sympathetic to men. Who are the only ones whi suffer stuff like this.
Everytime I see an image like this I think, it wouldn’t be so sad if it was what the picture implied. As in a physical humanoid that was almost human in behaviour. Chat bots are soooo far from that.
i want my big milf skibidi AI sigma wifu which run on freebsd back otherwise i will burn meta and gaygal down
Literally took the words out of my mouth
