  • Today's unregulated generative AI is exploitative and misanthropic bullshit that is toxic to human culture and society. They are ripping us all off, raising the cost of living, ruining the internet and media landscape, and destroying the planet, all in the name of replacing human workers for maximum profits.
  • "Influencers" are just walking, talking billboards. Human advertisements. You might as well follow Ronald McDonald himself on X.com.
  • Similarly, "content creator" is a boardroom buzzword created by some douchebag tech suit to describe the people who fill their "platform" with generic and valueless shit. If the thing you're making can best be desribed as "content" then it likely has little or no value to anyone. Make something that can be described specifically.
  • "Six seven" isn't funny, will never be funny, and never was funny. It's not like there's something to it that I'm missing, because it's seemingly totally devoid of meaning in the first place. I guess this is what passes for comedy when you spend your formative years in a pandemic lockdown.

The whole point of AI is to let the wealthy access the benefits of talent, without letting the talented access the benefits of wealth.

Agree 100%, except the 6-7 thing. That's a passing fad that will be gone very soon. It would probably be already over, but adults have found out about it, so it is being extended a bit by its notoriety, but that will fade soon, too.

First of all, the 6-7 thing is almost entirely for the under 10 yo set. Anyone older than that is pretty much as exasperated by it as adults. That's because the primary motivation for it seems to be to simply annoy adults.

And that's sort of a new phenomenon. Its no secret that young Americans know their futures are seriously fucked, and they are blaming their older fellow citizens, as they should. But this 6-7 tormenting of adults seems to indicate that the resentment toward adults is growing even among our youngest children.

As they grow, and their justifiable resentment increases, they will spawn a large demographic segment that will be very susceptible to nefarious propaganda.

6-7 isn't gone yet, my 6 and 8 year olds still giggle about it. The school banned it though, which may have extended its longevity.

Yeah, it's getting it's last bit of life out of the explanations for it, which is the kiss of death. 6-7 will go the way of Skibidy, and something equally annoying will arise.

Apparently, Ronald McDonald has mostly been phased out of the McDonalds brand over the past decade.
