Not to mention the echo (in my mind at least) of the works of Aleksandr Kogan and Cambridge Analytica.

Then again. ZoomInfo et al are notoriously schizo in their auto-connections. Still there must be a reason for that association. It's a strange one. I'm still on there, apparently working for several different outfits. When in reality I just moved on.

I would quite like an excuse to make the 2 hour drive and do this again. Would a meme RPF investigation land me in the bottom of the channels of little Venice. The time of year is certainly approaching to find out.

Gents apologies, I got a bit distracted with corporate quota and waffle.

I do want this quite a lot. So I can make cheap meta memes and be led down rabbit holes. I will steal the time tomorrow morning.

@brad, don't pay them anything! Let it lapse.

Kamala Harris is at the helm of leadership for the technology and I'm sure she'll be watching out for any disabuses....

I lol, as I picture her laughing her arse off. While pressuring a nerdoid to plug GPT into norad. And getting schooled in response.

And the other thing. It could learn my prose sure. But what of my thought. If I were concerned about this. I wouldn't be here. Not quite like this at least.

@C-Mex

Just on the whole "AI" thing. (All) LLMs (except the glorious retrieval augmented PeatBot and its inevitable successor) are quite retarded.

One trained on vile vitriol and malice, adjoined with questionable vision and world models could be tricky. But perhaps only if something resembling a critical mass of people believe it's "generally" "intelligent".

Obviously I can't be sure.

I think this may be the viral video mentioned https://twitter.com/ThorTorrens/status/1772648342276710747

I'm not disagreeing with you here, don't change your mind for me.

I'm just compelled to comment because I spent a micromoment or two watching this specimen. This (hilarious) bio fits my idiot opportunist distinction. Regardless of how long JZ may have looked him in the eye (ahem).

He's probably quite funny IRL. If he wants to come to London and get shitfaced, I'm reasonably sure I could convince him diabo is real. Metaphorically or not. And have him scanning barcodes at a checkout shortly thereafter.

@onliest

If I wanted to disarm you. A good way to go about it might be for me to convince you I know something you can't.

Just a thought.

@questforhealth

Oh and boredom. Get bored and don't do anything, anything at all, from time to time. Except listen.

@ThinPicking

why shouldn't I just want to live a normal life. why have to serve humanity orany of this

I could have some goats and potatoes and blueberry bushes and be happy.

peace is best no?

That sounds like a form of service to me. Just be careful with the looking glass in all its forms if you're going to take that tack. The internet is one. And there's never a need for a loneliness to persist. Don't deceive yourself.

I know you want answers. I know the feeling. But I can't and wouldn't dare dictate a path for you or claim to know something you can't read off the world a lot faster than I did. Not to mention that's ongoing. I'm probably still carrying dead weight. Why on earth would you listen to me.

Do you like art? It's gotten a bad name for some reason. Don't be fooled. About it or by it. Follow your heart.

@questforhealth

That life you're living is a glaringly obvious one. Keep walking.

@Peatly
It's insane and going to make anyone angry now I don't want to be angry but when you realise whats really goign on..... and whats been done to you...

Please be careful with your inner q4h.

And no. You are not crazy. Just be patient and find the patterns in your behaviour (all of it), relative to your observance of others towards you. And whatever you do, do not misuse it. A gift can and will be taken away.

@ilovethesea

That is not a pleasant read

Thank you for sharing it

He walks heels to the ground
He's from, nothing comes easy
Late bars, counting the stars
Dear God, please you to leave me
Hot night, cool by the ice
Want more, but I don’t need anything
Too flat, laid on his back

Hard place, rats and the snakes
He heaves the world on his shoulders
Nice cars, graveyards for bars
Dear Lord, just give up your hold on me
Dead heat, burns on the feet
Bed sheets, ghosts here for bodies
Lights down, quiet for now

Wish I saw the city in the old days
And wish I saw it better than I do
Now I'm moving through it like a salt haze
Gathering the sins that I am due
In the dark

Ok, I'm running with it. To be continued...

Ah! Ok, I didn't read above properly. Just saw some embeds and lit up.

Allegedly where there's a will there's a way. And I will. The NodeBB server/instance is yours right, you have root access to it? (Just so I can direct some reading.)

"I've positively influenced the health of hundreds of millions of people all over the world. More effectively in fact than any other human in history."

I hate this little mouth-breathing worm so much.

Don’t bother CO3, it’s not worth your heart. You may wish to proceed to pity and study that. But remember, that is a human being. And so are you. And so am I.

I’m not sure the aforementioned ever realised what they were doing but it seems obvious to me in hindsight. Presented with a series of multinational corporate dumpster fires in form of their profession, they incorporated, went multinational, and the proverbial demon they raised became prone to arson. While some of us take old adage to heart, such as a warning not to try and fight fire with fire, some of us can be a little forgetful. Not to mention a little… hot headed.

In a way I appreciate the example. Maybe I can muster a thank you. Either way, I’ll see them at home I guess. When they catch up.

Have a great day CO3.

Thank you gentlemen

@Norwegian-Mugabe

It's quite obvious to all but the brainless that none of that is true Mr Norwegian. I could trade facts for your factoids at length but your conduct will do.

Please do cry harder though.

@Norwegian-Mugabe

Do you like war Mr Norwegian? Because any and all forms of idiocy are forming part of the preconditions for it. Norway will be rolled over in about 5 minutes for its oil reserve and landing points, while almost no one in England or Scotland bats an eyelid. We'll be too busy seeing the wood for the trees and responding accordingly.

In your current configuration, you'll stick out like a sore thumb no matter how much arse you try and kiss. And then it will be over. Think about it if you're able.
