By now we've all seen the 'files', if you're like me you've used various AI to cross-reference them with other things like financial crashes, who else might be a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th degree connections, where do they work, etc etc etc and at the end of it you see the web of parasitic elites running our society.

How do we just go back to 'normal'??

Oh, what performative purity. You’re typing that on a device built by slave labor, powered by a grid they own, through an internet they control. But sure, AI is where you draw the line, how very principled of you. You still think you’re not part of the machine just because you’re picking which cog to hate today. Congrats, you’ve mastered the art of feeling superior while changing nothing.

Oh wow.

I never thought I'd see a real one of these:

AI really does just recycle past zeitgeists doesn't it?

Are you concerned that reliance on AI will perpetually put you months or even years behind the rest of humanity?

Or is it like people who don't watch a show till all the episodes or even seasons are out?

The system loves you. Just angry enough to post, just lazy enough to obey.

[–] PosiePoser@feddit.org 3 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Cringe. I never thought I'd see anyone seriously post that meme anymore.

[–] Pinetten@pawb.social 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

It's very telling. He fancies himself to be on the same level as a medieval peasant doing manual labor. While there are actually people out there living under such conditions (and worse), and we actively benefit from it. Peak bourgeois slacktivist meme.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world -2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

That's more surprising to you then someone authentically saying it?

I guess someone pointing it out that it's exactly like the meme, can only happen after someone does.

But that would be like hearing someone say "look a Sasquatch" and you bragging about how rare it is to hear someone say that after actually seeing a sasquatch.

No, I'm surprised to see someone post the meme thinking they are the clever one in the exchange lol
