90’s Internet: would you like to play chess with someone from across the globe? You could learn about their culture and how much you have in common!

Users: no thanks, I’m busy making racist videos using this energy hungry AI tool.

TikTok.

You mean the app that bent the knee to a felon rapist and destroys user's ability to focus on anything for more than 20 seconds?

Your Instagram or TikTok?

Because mine is full of TikTok reposts and AI slop

Honestly it’s like comparing poo and shit.

They both are crap and should be avoided and stepped over.

Oh that's different. I didn't say it was good just there.

Do you think the audience for these videos will find those videos funny? If so, go for it. Otherwise, it'll be totally ineffective.

TikTok. I've long suspected the name of the app references the fact that we are so close to midnight.

The cop with a fish rod and a watermelon

I'm starting to think the only way to combat this is to relentlessly flood all social media with the worst bigoted content that can be made for all races and genders. the "nuclear option".

maybe once people have their fill we shove some more down their throats and these platforms will start to moderate their content better.

I don't know, don't care either. If racists cat get AI videos to rank, it can't be that hard to rank non hateful videos, or maybe even videos that hate on racists

No, techbros will just find some way to make that profitable and then we’re stuck with it forever

The next update is going to be interesting…

all of human innovation leading up to this point

Oh shit its racist and we literally can not do a single thing to stop it because reasons.

I’ll add that people assume anonymity, and look at view counts as permission. It’s a feedback loop that is new and hyper optimized to corrode society if left unchecked.

Same shit here.

That is economic decline. That someone's line goes up in all relative units on a graph doesn't mean it's growth.

We were going in that direction with too much trust and enthusiasm.

Then humongous corps played along to these emotions, while building something that wasn't considered normal in the rest of the economy for many decades.

OK, honestly I'm tired of this shit, I think I'm going to start making toys of my own making in some scripting language to illustrate how it should work, not thinking about real world use. I've made one, I won't show it to anyone, but the fact that it worked at all is nice, I guess.

I couldn't force myself try starting on the latest idea, because it involves too much of "probably need something like". Maybe I should just assume those parts as unreliable good-trust connections, as it was done with most of the real web model.

It should be taught at schools that there is no such thing as human race, it's a fucking disgracing non-scientific term. Skin color is just that - a skin color.
