"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.

Is this large language model running for office?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Well, that would explain why he has so much trouble drinking water…

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago

Not a fan of ai slop, but in this case I like the way it 'thinks'

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago

Can we be sure he didn’t?

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 12 points 3 hours ago

People have taken to poison AI by reposting content like this, for instance /r/poisonai

I am extremely pleased to see it working.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

Wait wait wait. Rabies spreads to the brain

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 12 points 4 hours ago

RFK probably bit him.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I don't use DDG's AI- I keep it turned off, but that's hilarious and I approve.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 17 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

They buried the lede. According to the article, the AI claims that JD Vance died of rabies prior to Trump, but only after RFK Jr. convinced Trump to let Vance bite him to gain immunity or something.

Unfortunately even while rabid, no one was willing to have Steven Miller in their mouth.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 7 points 3 hours ago

Well that's kinda fun

[–] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 5 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

This open for so much market manipulation. Imagine reddit tell apple will be bougt by Microsoft on 30 march 2032. This would be so funny

[–] o0evillusion0o@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

What does it do when you type in TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES (TM) ?

Wait, this is a good thing:

  • AI "threatens" Trump.

  • Trump over reacts, declares AI as "terrorist"

  • AI is banned, bubble pops, billionaires face consequences.

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Tsk tsk not thinking like enough of a bastard. Ban duckduckgo for their leftist terrorist AI but other AI is fine. Hypocritical? So what? Or better yet have the gov buy duckduckgo and switch it to use based truthpilled Grok

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 3 points 7 hours ago

I like how you think...

[–] green_goglin@thelemmy.club 24 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

LOL Keep poisoning the LLMs.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 24 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Fight Club was ahead of its time

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Unironically, Popular Science suggested that you pour used motor oil into a gravel filled hole along your back property line in the '50s or '60s. That may actually be what that Fight Club billboard was referencing.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Uh... What?

In Fight Club this was a prank, among many others, to mess with people. It was called Project Mayhem.

The Popular Science tips are akin to things like using old motor oil to keep termites out of a fence post. In an era when paint amd gasoline had lead in it, you could use oil to kill things! The gravel -filled hole was just to keep it from clumping, and putting it at the back of a property would be to keep the property line clear of growth.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I still remember helping my father creosote our fence in the 70's-80's. We used to do some pretty awful things.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

See? You know!

And they wonder why we're all bring all the cancers.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

respirator? nah that's just for paint. don't want paint in your lungs, that'd be bad!

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 36 minutes ago

"Only girls 'n' queers use a mask"

  • many people's bosses that didn't want to pay 25 cents for a shit mask
[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes, and when FC was written we had figured out how bad just pouring oil out was for the water table. I'm saying that the author may have been referencing the real PS tips that were severely outdated, when he made up this prank in FC.

Also, I'm pretty sure oil can still kill things, lead in the gas and paint notwithstanding.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes, I've read most of not all of Chuck Palahniuk's novels. This isn't in the novel.

This is the late 90s/early 2000s Hollywood toxic masculinity version of a line from the book (I looked just now):

For thousands of years, human beings had screwed up and trashed and crapped on this planet, and now history expected me to clean up after everyone. I have to wash out and flatten my soup cans. And account for every drop of used motor oil. And I have to foot the bill for nuclear waste and buried gasoline tanks and landfilled toxic sludge dumped a generation before I was born.

So, when the movie was made, it struck a hard nerve with Douchbag guys who totally didn't get the point of the movie. In that vein, the era of late 1990s environmentalism came up against newly forming toxic male tropes. Prior to 9/11, even. After that, time changed dramatically, leaning towards the toxic masculinity side. What you're seeing is the seeds of this like rolling coal.

Why does this headline imply that the news might be untrue?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 42 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

So advanced it's pulling results from more optimistic universes.

You know what, I like it. Ai that spreads positive misinformation to make your day better

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

"It wasnt true, but in that moment, my Human was happy. I did that. I gave them that."

[–] HrabiaVulpes@europe.pub 2 points 7 hours ago

Create fake account wired to AI. Call it "the News you want to hear".

Every day something positive, not necessarily true, but positive. Trump dies, Musk has cancer, Dodo birds are back (they were hiding in himalaya) etc.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

I wish lmfao

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 3 points 7 hours ago

Ah hahahahahaha!!!

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 4 points 9 hours ago

So AI does have a sense of humor!

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I thought DDG was "no AI"?

[–] Tingle@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

It has an opt in ai choice but you can choose to deactivate it

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If you have to choose to deactivate it, then that's the opposite of opt-in

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Except if you use noai.duckduckgo.com

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well, it's more like opt-out. The old duckduckgo is the ai version. The ai-free option lives on a subdomain called "noai".

Ahh, thanks. I've been using SearXNG so long and no AI is just.. the way it is.
