No no, this makes sense. The world’s opinion of us is already as low as it can possibly get, this can only help. Not likely but how much worse could it get?

Yeah baby, show me dat bottom line.

Prove it.

Oh my no, I tell the same jokes over and over no matter how much my family complains, because I have the will to enjoy their pained responses no matter how much it annoys them.

Well I for one spent a lot of time on LemmyNSFW and can confidently state that I never once saw a whale wearing shoes on it, so they must have been doing something right.

3 scoops, on a cone, turned upside down into a bowl. Best of both worlds.

Unfortunately true, there will always be a workaround.

How dare you, I argue about a LOT more than just politics with strangers on the internet!

Good point, because of privacy protection laws, exactly the kind of laws we would need to pass to do something about this issue.

That’s literally the point I’m making. In some places it is common place to see streamers broadcasting in public, and I’ve seen plenty of videos of not as obvious streaming as well. This will continue that trend, and the question is whether we pass laws to change that. The technology only makes it more accessible.

That’s… not even close to what I’m saying. That’s like saying using computers to steal money is illegal therefore using computers is illegal. Someone walking around with a camera is fairly commonplace, the problem is this tech makes it less easy to see and more accessible, which is a problem because of the number of people who would want to use it for something illegal. Remember back when they started making digital cameras which could take pictures silently, which was a big privacy issue? Then they started making mandatory sound effects when a picture was taken… until they stopped doing that?

Yeah that’s kinda my point.

Here’s the problem, it’s not doing anything people already couldn’t and weren’t doing, it’s just making it a lot easier and making it more widely available. Honestly it’s the exact same issue with “AI”, every bad aspect about it was already being done with existing LLMs, they were just the domain of a much smaller subset of people.

I want this to be true so much that I’ve decided to believe it even if it isn’t. Holy shit, I understand religion now!

I have been working with LLMs for decades. I know what they can do and what they can’t. I admit they have grown in leaps and bounds in the last few years because of the hype, but therein lies the issue: there is still way too much hype, it’s not the end all solution some think it is, it’s driving up hardware prices, the environmental impact is horrendous, and it’s a new bullshit business marketing term that serves only to artificially inflate stock prices. “Agentic” is the new “data driven”.
