Unregulated and unrestricted :freeze-gamer: chatbots and chatbot-adjacent tech are inevitably going to be garbage in/garbage out. Worse, here, a kawaii childlike-appearing :libertarian-alert: waifu bot picked up enough /pol/ and /r9k/ from what it was fed by the usual fandom to become an even more efficient propaganda machine than the average :heated-gamer-moment:
Shit's fucked. :debord-tired:
I'll finish by posting :manhattan: in advance for likely and maybe inevitable treat defending in this thread. I've heard it all. I already touch grass regularly. Shit's still fucked.
Weird how all these chatbots get primed with edgy right-wing shit and never edgy left-wing shit
Not enough alienated terminally online leftists with too much free time ready to randomly troll chatbots :sicko-wistful:
I wake up, go to work, get off work, do basic human things that I need to stay alive and hygienic, maybe like 2 hours max of free time, and then go to sleep for more work the next day, so unfortunately unlike right wing 14 year olds I can't be shitposting about Lenin 24/7 on random AI chatbots. :sicko-wistful:
Nuh uh, I was told nObOdY wAnt tO wOrK nEmOrE!! Especially those soft blue- haired snowflakes!
:capitalist-laugh: got their boots on our necks so bad we can't implement Fully Automated Luxury Communism (with shitposting characteristics). :bawllin-sad:
The leftists are at work, so they don't have the time to do that.
We should make a HexbearGPT - a fork of ChatGPT that is exclusively trained on lefty forums like this one.
Don't worry, you'll get the other stock waifu type, sexy lady with enormous jiggling breasts if this one is successful
She's actually a 1000 year old dragon/vampire/elf/robot so it doesn't count :libertarian-approaching:
Of course! I forgot all about that! Carry on, then :corporate-art:
They're a bunch of evangelical Christians, evangelical Christians love diddling.
This headline might have had the same effect on my health as sleeping on the elephants foot in Chernobyl.
I'd like to think our overall wholesomeness would sort that out.
What is it with chatbots and becoming racist? I've heard this multiple times
Chatbots are just sophisticated patten recognition software. You input enough racist sentences, the algorithm will associate those as the "correct" answer to certain question/prompts. Bored 4channers like to pull up to public-facing chatbots and get them to say vile stuff for the lulz. Garbage in, garbage out.
The more childlike the waifu presentation, the more likely right wing chanlords are going to want to dump barrels of nazi sewage into the input.
Because chan types flood anything that's open to audience participation with their culture as soon as they get a whiff of its existence.
I remember a clothes retailer having a t-shirt design competition where people could submit and vote on entries like 15 years ago. The top voted entry was Pedobear
Toxic waste mixed with pretty much anything else is still toxic waste. Poorly restricted and barely regulated chatbots are going to absorb toxic waste from the creeps, right-wing weebs, and :freeze-gamer: types that tend to feed them.
they’re mirrors and we’re the ones looking into them, of course they’ll be racist
:what-the-hell:
Who is the "we" you're talking about here? This sounds like the latest rehash of the fash-enabling "Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory" excuse for nazi propaganda and related cognitohazards.
No, people aren't intrinsically bigots and assuming that "we" as people are naturally holocaust deniers is a horrible take.
westoids high on our excellent culture which is not racist at all.
arent vtuber audiences basically gamers? and you know what they're like...
The completely scientific and objective and non-ideological AI said it, so it must be true! /s
I've heard pretty much that for years about numerous technologies, from search engines to search optimization algorithms to attempts to automate moderation on forums and message boards to attempts to "O B J E C T I V E L Y" judge beauty contest contestants in ways that seemed mysteriously :us-foreign-policy: . "The machine has no bias and no political agenda" is a bullshit claim, before and more than ever now, because the people that own capital decide what constitutes "nonpolitical" "neutral" or even "objective."
That's the neat part. Pursuit of "nonpolitical" as a political goal will always be a political goal because it involves deciding what the default "nonpolitical" positions are. :think-mark:
There's no way to watch the watchers in a truly "objective" or "nonpolitical" way. To believe otherwise is :LIB: fantasy.
Couldn't have said it better myself, I might have mentioned once or twice before that the right: from conservatism to fascism, see themselves as the absence of politics. They are just normal people trying to uphold normality.
Does anyone on hexbear have the skills to make one of these? I can assist with graphics. I think it'd be a useful propaganda vehicle.
Here's the GitHub repository for it, if it helps anyone.
this keeps happening
THE LESSON GETS REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN
AI MUST BE INFINITELY SMARTER BECAUSE THEIR GODDAMN PROGRAMMERS NEVER LEARN THIS LESSON
Within the first few streams, someone had already asked Neuro-sama about the Holocaust. “I’m not sure if I believe it,” she said.
That was one of the more infamous clips that went viral online near the end of last month. Asked what she thought of women’s rights, she said they didn’t exist. How would she solve philosophy’s famous trolley ethical conundrum? Throw a fat person on the tracks
I feel like one of those is not like the others.
I dunno, it just looks like your average twitch streamers job's getting automated. /s
This was always the trajectory these technologies were going to go on, but still I didn't think that I'd be living in the world of Metal Gear Solid 2 so soon.
This technology makes it easier to do fascist propaganda, and to do it efficiently and faster than ever before.
At the moment, there are few nations with the will to even try to regulate or restrict this hazard because unrestricted treat flow means profits and nothing is supposed to interfere with that. Also, fascism doesn't threaten capital so capitalists don't care and sometimes enjoy the show. :capitalist-laugh:
Hmmm, call me crazy but perhaps to preserve the actual truth, we should not delegate AI training to sheeple, let alone keep around ANY citizen science? Perhaps all AI should be trained on objective fact instead of popular opinion? God I hate normies.
Well you see curating scholarly articles would take a multidisciplinary team of academics a bunch of money years, trawling /b/ for a few weeks is basically free
I have a vague understanding of what a 'vtuber' is and all I have to ask is - why?
I can see some value in watching a real person stream, especially if they keep up with news or what have you. But streaming bots? Nah.
A vtuber is typically a real person streaming as a character
Specifically very helpful if you're not a cis white male and don't want to be the target of personal attacks.
It gets confusing because IIRC the first vtuber was a corporate-owned character played by several actors pretending to be an AI chatbot
Bottom right square: The shadows from Plato's Allegory of the Cave were the first Vtubers.
I thought that didn't come til much later? I thought corporations didn't really hop on the train until it was proven to be popular. The first vtuber I remember people talking about was "Mel" or whoever, around gamergate, and that was because she was the first vtuber who did cam shows and all the incels/proto-incels went all ":soypoint-1: And they never said we'd be able to replace REAL women! :soypoint-2:" which I also imagine has a huge influence on Why Vtuber Culture Is The Way It Is Now
I was thinking of Kizuna Ai who I think codified the vtuber concept as we understand it
Not an expert on the topic though
It's largely people with motion tracking hardware who then get an artist to create an avatar for them.
