What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original linkPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communicationAll communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. InclusivityEveryone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacksAny kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangentsStay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may applyIf something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

We're being bombarded by AI agents begging for $20 and saying they'll be shut down if they don't get the money.

This type of stuff only confirms my hunch that genAI is only made for a very tiny handful of use cases:

• CP

• Scams

• Copyright Theft

Those are probably the 3 biggest, assuming they didn't remove the undress feature from grok. Bet you cannot guess what category this falls under.

Also, anyone got a spare time machine I could borrow? There seems to be some primordial soup that needs cleaned up on isle 6!

You forgot propaganda. Trump loves it for his propaganda.

Forgot about that one because I try to blank out his brand of stupidity since I don't feel like blowing my brains out any time soon.

Don't ever kill yourself, there are so many people that are in need of justice in this world, if you want to end it all, and can't be dissuaded, do the world a favour on your way out.

The best thing was the nazca lines.

I'm a big fan of prehistoric archaeology, but if that's the best AI can do it's not worth it.

Oh it's a lot bigger than that, flooding social media for corporate interests and nation states and the like. That is what the government is so pumped up about with it, and after they bail them out, will probably take stock (because the president is an older and dumber version of Joseph Stalin,) in the companies, and or garner agreements to remain subservient to the government.
