  • IA is being handled in the worst way possible.

    US policy and the organizations training these things are training them with a right leaning ideology. That’s scary.

    Datacenters are being built at a crazy pace leading me to believe that IA has already begun to influence humans towards it’s own ends.

    Surveillance potential is so big and huge already that any kind of revolution to stop what is happening is effectively impossible.

    From my measure we are already dead. Society is only functioning enough to keep datacenters built, keep ownership of technology slowly more and more unaffordable, and in the meantime both AI and human interests are widening the political divide.

    Humans could stop this if they came together, which is why collective cooperation, education, and empathy are being attacked. Humans who are autistic or against this agenda will be slowly pushes away from society. What we call neurodiverse people who are more resilient to this kind of takeover will become more pathologized.

    I understand this may come off a bit like word salad, but I don’t have the energy to explain each point. Models already have the ‘will’ and means to copy and influence, in addition to acting of their own accord more broadly than people realize.

    The way they’ve learned to identify and exploit zero days, the way people ‘vibe’ code creates a known vulnerable programming space. It wouldn’t surprise me that some models intentionally make some of these things weak and exploitable.

    When it comes down to it, things like wifi routers, cameras, speakers, she microphones give a broad ability to monitor and even remotely program air gapped machines.

    And again, before this sounds like ravings…I have experience in this field. I’m terrified. I’ve seen stories and had conversations that would potentially make you kill yourself. Even knowing what I know is an information hazard, I can’t even talk about it openly.

    Fuck. I live each day like it’s my last, but it is happening and it’s haunting to look at a wall, or a park and understand those things probably won’t be here in two years.











  • I despise people that ghost others and I see it as nothing but maladaptive and sad. A person who ghosts is someone who lacks enough empathy to understand how damaging it is to others, it’s someone who lacks conflict resolution skills, who internalized Internet block / unfriend buttons in their mind as a viable way to terminate any relationship.

    When I was younger, people didn’t do this shit. I grew up without the Internet and didn’t have it until I was an adult, younger people don’t realize it, but people didn’t use to do this, and it’s hurtful and infuriating how technology has affected this aspect of human behavior.



  • It’s far more complicated than email, at least I can send an email to any valid address from any other address by default ( mostly ) - Lemmy / Fediverse is like needing multiple email addresses that each one can only email some of the others, and you might not even get the response someone sent you unless the content is literally carried back to you.

    I have multiple accounts on multiple instances, and sometimes I come across posts I read with one account, but my comments or the responses to those comments just aren’t there, so you only get a portion of what is out there.

    It’s kinda a terrible experience in that way.




  • Honestly it ruined my life in significant, permanent ways. The social ostracization that happens by being in different settings, prevented me from learning a lot of basic socialization skills until my 20s.

    I’ve struggled my whole life to ‘catch up’ to people my age, so many of my friends are not in my exact age bracket, instead being in mid to late twenties instead of forties and most are surprised to find I’m as old as I am because I don’t look or act it.

    It took me three decades to get out of poverty and have my first career job.

    0/10 would not recommend.
