Does anyone else get non stop ads from chatgpt.

I've more or less dedicated my life to avoiding AI at much as I can since that is what my area is study is and it can't teach me somthing that I don't already know... And I keep getting chatgpt ads at like it's targeted.

Like on Pinterest where most people my age get clothes ads.

Hey!!! so I'm an engineer doing my masters in AI-ML and so many kids here are using AI do thier AI homework I'm starting to believe that the AI development is about to stagnate because there are other 3 in my class of 200 including me who actually do thier homework/assignments themselves. And 2 of us kind of hate using AI for things other than data refining (cancer detection etc).

The third guy is however very "💯🔥 linkedin 🎉🤑" coded, he'll probably be the richest of us but I don't think he's smart enough to make any actual developement.

I don't think the situation with the AI can actually get worse. I guess we can have more realistic bots but the closer we get to dead internet theory, the lesser revenue Meta, Twitter etc will make from thier advertisers so...I think they will be the one to find a way to stop bots.

"i don't care if they make their whole way though uni with chatgpt" i think you guys are so internetpilled that you have forgotten there are actual jobs out there that require people to know what they are doing in any way possible or else people die

I was watching a Meghnerd live about Operation Sindoor yesterday (it's a fantastic YouTube channel, go check it out) and he made a very good point. He said we can be anti-war and support the army at the same time, because I don't want anyone to die, including those in the army, so my de facto stance has to be anti-war.

And I am staunchly anti-war, politically inclined hard-left. I hate- HATE- the way things are escalating, and this cyle of tit-for-tat feels never-ending (which I honestly blame Pakistan for because er wtf. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourselves.)... but at the same time. People in India currently pumped up with nationalism and patriotism need to calm the fuck down. Dogfights aren't a movie, missile strikes aren't a video game, none of this is a fun thing that we should all be hyping up and cheering for. This is leading up to war.

People die.

Real people die.

And real people all across the nation are scared out of their minds - for their own lives, and for the lives of their loved ones living in northern states.

Our own people.

These attacks are NOT something we should be making memes and glory-posts about. A lot of us seem to be under the propagandist delusion that the army is currently defending our honour. It is by default, but that's not its primary objective. It is keeping the country safe from an international threat (notice how I said international, not religious). If we love the army as much as we claim and clamour, then we had better start wishing like hell that this "war" doesn't get declared, and this situation is de-escalated as fast as fucking possible. Pumping fists at the screen for every attack, cheering for every time Pakistani drones and fighters are shot down, NEEDS to stop.

And while we're at it, pray verify the information you're hearing. This is a misinformation war as much as it is on the ground, and not even famously right-wing news channels are giving accurate, reliable information.
