#techbros are stupid

[3style3]

rant about the whole "ai is the future" that techbros keep spewing and why i think its stupid and incorrect and that we will absolutely be fine. read below the cut if u wanna hear my techy rant.

ai does not have the five senses, it cannot taste, hear, smell, touch or if you wanna get technical, THINK. all it knows is anything spoonfed to it and anything it “generates” is an amalgamation of everything its been spoonfed. it cannot make a perfect recipe (cant taste, smell, see), generate good sounding music (cant hear), all art it generates is well.. a literal mashup / collage of preexisting works (cant be creative without being given prompts and prexisting artwork), its a parody of existing works more than it is actual art. (see: definition of parody) it cannot create new sewing patterns (cant see, cant test it in a 3d space) nor can it write good literature (cant think, memory limits, only knows what its told). ai literature is becoming increasingly easier to sniff out by anyone who has written or studied literature in any capacity given it only writer colleen hoover esque work or something akin to a 14 year old on wattpad. (if someone presents me actual writing vs ai writing, with some looking into it i could easily sniff it out given how repetitive & unsure of itself it can be, source: ive tried writing storylines with it and it began "calling back" details that never happened within the story)

chatgpt will 100% be paywalled once it gets all the info it needs from self proclaimed alphamales who think lifting weights or waking up just an hour before school (those “wake up at 5 am videos “ ring a bell?? newsflash i was waking up at 4 am during highschool & even after; you are not cool) makes them cool (lol) and techbros on twitter who Mind you are never professionals in the field. theyre always whining about the downfall of nfts (something my dad (PROFESSIONAL) and i (hobbyist) forsaw, by the way) with no company that they own or even work for listed.

nobody smart in the industry who has been in it for more than 2 years genuinely believes ai is taking over. it quite literally cannot replace people who create clothing, ORIGINAL artwork that has never been seen before, musicians, engineers, service workers (only so much a robot can do to solve a customers problem!) human connections (current chatbots are going through their downfalls as we speak). not to mention the privacy risk that people are increasingly becoming concerned about (ie. how people are reacting to “windows 12 ai”)

is ai advancing? absolutely. no doubt about it. will it become anything more than just an assistant to humans? absolutely not. remember when people were convinced that synthesizers would end musicians as we know it and it simply became a tool to assist us? remember when people thought that digital art was going to end all artists as we know it.. and it simply became another medium? remember all the times we thought computers were gonna replace humans and it never did? remember when people were CONVINCED nfts were the absolute end all be all, and it DIED as nothing more than a fad? thats the exact path ai is taking. ai has always been around but now its advancing and that intimidates people, but it shouldnt, because without humans adding variables and inputs, it is literally useless. it is a robot that quite literally cannot work alone. we are fine. techbros are fucking idiots.

"You just don’t really have to think that much."

I'm going to scream.

From now on, you should probably ask your doctor, nurse, lawyer, accountant, etc:

Did you graduate after ~2022?

If so, did you use AI for any of your coursework?

They will probably lie, if they're smart enough to lie. And frankly, anybody graduating before then aren't inherently safer either, as they could be using this in their jobs now instead of their coursework a decade ago.

But we need to seriously consider this as part of the new landscape we are in. We need to counter this wherever possible, and try where we can to keep our lives out of the hands of people who outsource thinking to a predictive text bot. Do not trust anyone who uses ChatGPT to know how to treat you or your loved ones. These people literally do not know what they're doing.

A decade+ ago: "If it has even the slightest similarity to Pokémon I don't want it!"

Now: "Yeah I know this game straight up plagiarized designs and stole assets from Pokémon, but Pokémon ain't what it used to be and this game has guns in it, so who cares? Fuck the actual creativity that went into those Pokémon designs, the artists that made them are clearly just as bad as the company higher-ups!"

tech was way cooler when it was more gay people tinkering with electricity and less straight people tinkering with crypto

You can tell the talentless tech bros are desperate for attention because the last three times I’ve seen a Blazed post it’s been some AI art garbage.

These assholes are paying real money just to get added to sane people’s blocklists 😹

I will never forgive Pinterest for the sheer volume of ai-generated horseshit I see on my homepage alone.

I miss when their site centered cool DIY projects and pretty photos I can perceive as something that would exist in real life.

Don’t get me started on the ads. I know they already had ads, but I don’t remember as many ads as there are today.

Today I learned that BonziBUDDY NFTs are real. Not only real, but literally official and made by the dudes that created him.

The irony of tumblr lasting longer than twitter (even after the 2018 Exodus), especially after all the idiots -who may or may not also make up a majority of all the paypigs seething and malding at the fact subscribing to a shitty, now broken, social media site doesn’t make them exempt from the sheer incompetence of their god/king/emperor Muskrat- spent nearly a decade mocking and deriding this site for being a “SJW shithole”

All while saying nothing about how infinitely more toxic and godawful Twitter is, and always has been.

I genuinely cannot fathom how character chat bots would be an improvement over "static" stories. Fucker's trying to capitalize off of an elliptical block in a circular hole.

starting to suspect that tech bros actually just don’t know what reading is

So basically it isn't just about the licenses or big tech bad (which they are), but everything in totality and particular combination does matter. You can't techbro platitudes your way through, very reddit poster twitter user performative way of approaching things.

The root cause of Big Tech freeloading, the root cause that makes open platforms unable to directly support small developers, the root cause of sucking software, this and more are all inextricably linked together to foundational issues that no amount of Elon-esque posturing is going to ever be able to comprehend let alone resolve.

whoever that guy in the university's cinema club whatsapp group was that was asking for ai software suggestions to type out a movie script because the stuff chatgpt (which he was using the PAID version for btw) was coming up with were sounding ARTIFICIAL (WOW I FUCKING WONDER WHY) may whatever you believe in bless you with a prolapsed colon

ARTISTS, GRAB THESE AND RUN!!! 🗣️ 🔥 🔥

AI disturbance overlays for those who don't have Ibis paint premium. found them on tiktok

[twilight-good-yall-dumb]

seeing an actual big company (with more than enough money to pay artists) using ai for their commercial is actually making me feel sick. is this for real? are we actually going down this path? fuck you coca-cola. i can't believe my eyes actually had to bear witness to that. remember when Christmas commercials (though admittedly consumerist in nature) were heartwarming? remember when they had real people? we live in the worst fucking timeline.

Sighs. Okay. I am, unfortunately, always and forever probably gonna be rooted in this hellsite like a plant that evolved hyperspecific biological needs,

But I was already planning on branching out and using other sites. So. lol. Lmao even

Expect a post with links soonish ✌️

✨ fuck AI✨

[sgdi]

Saw an advert on this hellsite with a image generated by midjourney or dalle or something asking "algorithms the future of design?"

I'm like... algorithms have always been part of design, even before computers, even before the word algorithm existed in the English language.

It's a series of steps you follow to get a result.

What is wrong with these people?
