A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Typical AI sludge, complete alien nonsense spouted confidently.

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yep that was my first thought too. Gotta be AI written because it makes zero sense.

How did we get to the point where this is published as something serious?

Can I go live naked in the forest and forage for mushrooms instead? I want to macro-retire.

Well you have fun.

Meanwhile I’m gonna MEGA RETIRE.

Which basically just involves croaking and not working for the rest of time

What if I train AI on your life's data and force the AI you to work 9-5 until the Big Crunch?

The part that gets me is that syntactically and lexically it makes perfect sense, so you actually have to think about it before realizing it's totally worthless. The old signals of quality and care in communication are meaningless.

People with poor critical thinking skills are going to be fucking lost at sea this coming decade. They have no tools to tell what's worth believing anymore.

You mean truthiness?
