AI couldn’t do this a year ago, it required computer hardware that was supercomputer levels of expensive to even create something like this. IMO development was actually held back by crypto and covid-19. Now AI is the #1 focus of the techbros and it isn’t going to slow down. This shit is going to put so many journalists, artists, and even programmers out of work. I don’t know how else to explain this, HUMANITY LITERALLY CREATED AI THIS YEAR. WE MADE FUCKING SKYNET!

You want to talk about technological progress, this shit mogs fusion, it mogs the vaccines, it mogs whatever dumb space colonization shit we did. We made fucking AI! I bet we will have sentient AI in our lifetime. And what are we going to do with this stuff? Porn, lots of porn. Deepfakes of celebrities and politicians sacrificing children to moloch, dead actors staring in new movies, a new album by Tupac, fake war footage, fake everything.

Have you ever heard about how a monkey can write Shakespeare given enough time? We have fucking done that, we pressed random buttons enough times that we ended up with something legible. Now we turn memes into real people.

We need a butlarian jihad or some shit.

    this is silly. AI isn't magic. it isn't going to achieve anything and everything just because you're capable of imagining it. it is not "intelligent" in the sense that an animal is. current AI technology can recognize and reproduce patterns. that's it. everything it has done so far has been some variation of that parlor trick. it will revolutionize production, but only insofar as capitalists will accept a much lower standard of production. deep fakes are a real concern, but again, just an acceleration of the collapse of consensus reality that already began with the invention of mass media.

    the monkey thing is actually an apt metaphor. just like a monkey, an AI will produce reams and reams of useless gibberish before finding something close enough to acceptable.
