Cardinal Scum: Lord Google! Our Premium service is only making 8.5 Billion net profit per year, a miserable increase of 25% from last year!

Lord Google: These peasant eyeballs have disappointed me. Force the plebians to ingest propaganda as in the olden times! And as for the so-called-Premium subs . . . we will crush their purchasing power!

Cardinal Scum: Yes Lord Google! Brilliant!

Lord Google: Muwahhahahahahah!!!

Cardinal Scum: (hesitantly) Heh heh . . hee heee heeh hehehehh yesssss . . yes

Absolutely the most hated. The marketing chuds are gaslighting by claiming to be less hated. Nah, nah brah. Seriously the most hated. By FAR.

Agreed. Most American polls are still done by phone, so it only counts people who answer unknown calls, and then answer a series of questions about their beliefs. Which just gets more unbelievable every day.

If you're on Xitter, I don't know what to tell you. Except, get off.

Has no one made the standard "how to move to Mastodon and take all your twitter followers with you" yet? If they have I havent' seen it, but that's the missing link here.

It's the same situation, just writ large. Dumb human decisions to put AI where it shouldn't be. Heck, you can put it in charge of the nuclear missles now if you want to. Don't. Though. That'd be really, really stupid.

Part of my knee-jerk dislike of the AI hype is that it's glorified text completion. It doesn't know shit. It only knows the % chance of your saying the next word. AGI is not happening anytime soon and all this is techbro theatre for the sake of money.

Anyone who reads a wall of bland generated text and thinks we're about to talk to god is seriously mistaken.

And now we're living in the "that was a bad idea" world.

 

Not sure if this is a bug, but upvotes "randomly" error out?

Occasionally when I upvote a "front-page" post or sometimes even an individual comment it will redirect to an empty page that just says "error". (It's in the kbin CSS format, it's not, like, literally blank). However even after that other posts / comments will upvote without error.

I thought it was related to a login token or something, and logging out and back in seems to re-set but not completely fix the problem. It will recur at some point. Re-loading the page doesn't seem to help.

I'm using various OS setups but always through Firefox, fwiw, but as far as I know no plug-ins should be causing what seems like random errors.

Sorry if this isn't the right thread, I couldn't find "kbinsupport" or "askkbin".
