"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

AI software that generates ‘rage bait’ developed by Germany’s far-right AfD (www.irishtimes.com)

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has developed a new software suite, driven by Google Gemini, Open AI and Anthropic’s Claude, that helps party members generate so-called “rage bait” social media postings.

Central to the new campaign is the Alternita platform, registered to the AfD’s general secretary Hans-Holger Malcomeß, which promises users social media posts “in five minutes, with your positions, in your style, your branding”.

In the case of the AfD, an undercover investigation by Germany’s Correctiv outlet revealed how, in a few clicks, a populist article can be turned into provocative posts to flood social media feeds.

Can Germans please explain to me how this party is even allowed to exist. I thought fascist political parties were illegal?

fake anti-fascism, it looks like they didn't learn much.

Germany never really de-Nazified. It was just an act to rejoin the West which the US played along with because of the Cold War. That's why Germany is such an enthusiastic supporter of their Nazi adjacent friends in occupied Palestine.

Pankaj Mishra goes into this in his book "The World After Gaza"

There is not enough political will, because the current government can just point at them as a boogeyman while still enacting fascist policies. Today they will be voting to try to abolish psychotherapy for example. [Edit: They actually passed it and are really proud of themselves for completely gutting social welfare]

We did Patrick, we saved Germany!

OMG, I hate how much this sounds like the US about ten years ago

It's complicated

The threshold in proving that a party is democracy damaging is quite high

It's discussed for years now, but it seems like things start to look good. Just don't hold your breath that it will happen fast
