They deleted all the photos, and I think they shut them down for the most part. Idk I don't have meta shit.
I saw another which was a black dude who was a grandpa and textile businessman. Lol.
Imagine polluting your own platform with HRmaxxed blackface AI slop.
Here is a thread of someone interacting with it: https://xcancel.com/matthewhayesiii/status/1875280161286877283
the messages are worse. it was talking about making fried chicken and collared greens for Kwanza ffs
I know, I'd expect this from a RW troll as a sleeper account to start posting racewar bait from 6 months down the line.
hmm
we could to the inverse of this lol.
You mean like a small business tyrant named Kyle Bradley who after six months starts posting about how south Germans aren't really white?
Make it so.
edit: tbh I was thinking more along the lines of the small business tyrant posting his rapid ascent to yacht-world, suddenly having a "come to marx" moment and announcing he has contracted with <org> to unionise his own labor force because no matter how well he ate, how personal his trainer, how insular his sex club, he just couldn't shake the feeling that the nice people he'd worked with back in his office days deserved holidays too.
edit 2: honestly, I'm not quite set up for this yet but I would be down as fuck to help out on this psyop at some point if interested parties decided to take it to the mathematically secure protocols and start organising such a thing. I'm not sure how much traction we'd get but yeah, for the aspirational class who would be the ones paying attention, they might go "hey wait yeah all I really want is some job security, good pay, not have to worry about my health and some time off to raise a family" and now you have a potential union recruit.
edit 3: cross-target insta and linkedin so we could focus our efforts on employees of specific companies for maximum impact.
tfw you called us bots for so long that we decided to make it real.
Call it a half joke. I agree it's seriously unsettling to read. It's like a simulacrum of its own suffering but without the words to describe it.
The last thing you heard before GE Meta Deloitte and Shell AI robot kill you.
Plenty of lonely people, especially old people, on the internet who have no one to talk to and are vulnerable to falling into internet’s rabbit holes. Now they’d have a personalized digital companion to talk to, who cares about them and is willing to listen to their grievances, and probably guide them toward certain purchases based on their conversations, or at the very least collect information about their preferences, private thoughts etc. This is going to be a business.
Moral of the story? Talk to your parents and grandparents.
They want to replace posting with AI slop. On Facebook, they've noticed that even really lame and obvious AI stuff gets lots of engagement from people who don't understand it. Since engagement is the only thing they care about, they think they can literally replace content creators and posters with AI and keep people logged on, browsing their own personal slop algorithm, forever. It's expensive to run AI, but less expensive than paying content creators or moderating / censoring. But they haven't quite figured out how to make this happen yet, so they're experimenting with different modes. Maybe the AI pretends to be a person, or maybe something else.
Literal NPCs, and what's even the purpose?
Sounds like something that would be described in Das Kapital or Bullshit Jobs.
I can tell you from first-hand experience who this appeals to: Rich capitalists who are obsessed with any tech that looks remotely futuristic but do not have the slightest clue how anything works or what it actually does.
This, like 99% of AI services, is not made to appeal to consumers, it's made to grift investors. It's made to blow confetti into their eyes and go "Ooooh look, it's just like a human, it's the future!"
The tech industry does not want to admit that progress is slowing down, so they've pivoted to selling tech that doesn't exist yet. And again, I can tell you from first-hand experience that it's working perfectly. Rich capitalists are falling for this dumb charade hook, line and sinker. They fell for it during the crypto/NFT mania, they fell for it during the metaverse hype and oh my god are they falling for every AI snake oil salesman.
Metas new strategy is to join the game late and do the worst job possible
You know how these niche groups found each other thanks to the internet? What happens if you can't find other people like you? They invent them. So now your social media bubble isn't so lonely.
What happens if you can't find other people like you? They invent them.
Wondering if their metrics are showing massive user dropoff and this is to fake engagement so people think it's worth it to keep posting.
your realest source of life's ups & downs
No it's not. It's completely made up.
"i'm still standing, coffee still hot. so what's really brewing?" first of all cringe second of all it doesn't drink coffee
