@fastfinge @quanin @lynessence Wait, so these are not supposed to be 100+ comments long with various questionably topical tangents?

@dhamlinmusic @lynessence @quanin Eh, this is Mastodon. The only rules are the rules we make for ourselves. BE UNGOVERNABLE!

@fastfinge @dhamlinmusic @lynessence You know what they say. If you don't like the rules, change your instance. If you're the instance admin... well...

@quanin @dhamlinmusic @lynessence Yeah, my instance admin banned me the other day! Stupid jerk. I really don't like that guy.

@fastfinge @quanin @lynessence Have you considered firing him and putting AI in charge? That seems to be the hot new thing that definitely will not go wrong.

@dhamlinmusic @lynessence @quanin As a large language model, talking about fire is irresponsible and against my ethical guidelines, as it may burn people. Perhaps we could talk about something else instead, like pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows.

@mcourcel @dhamlinmusic @lynessence @quanin Yes. You can. And then you have to go into the database directly and edit a column to fix it. Don't ask me how I know.

@fastfinge @mcourcel @dhamlinmusic @lynessence Somehow I knew at least one of the instance admins I know would have tried that.

@quanin @dhamlinmusic @lynessence @mcourcel To be fair, I use iceshrimp.net, not Mastodon. So I have no idea what's possible on Mastodon.

@fastfinge @dhamlinmusic @lynessence @mcourcel I'd imagine it's also possible on Mastodon. I'm not bored enough to create a test admin to find out though.

@quanin @fastfinge @dhamlinmusic @lynessence At least, from Ice Crhimp, you could go to a version with less bells and whistles, called frozen shrimp. And then, a very basic one called, breaded shrimp.

@mcourcel @quanin @fastfinge @dhamlinmusic He says after he copies and pastes from ChatGPT, and slightly edits the material to make it look like it's his.

@mcourcel @quanin @fastfinge @dhamlinmusic Oh you mean while you're writing all kinds of AI music? Lol but seriously, I agree. I'm worried about the long-term effects on both the planet and our children.

@lynessence @mcourcel @fastfinge @dhamlinmusic AI is a tool, like my cane. And so are the folks who are convinced AI will singlehandedly save us.

@quanin @mcourcel @fastfinge @dhamlinmusic I'm not so much worried about them as the bastards who are creating this shit and convincing the politicians it doesn't need to be regulated when they know how harmful it can be.

@lynessence @dhamlinmusic @quanin @mcourcel The thing to keep in mind is that AI is based on averaging out training data. So the primary effect of AI is going to be making things more like they are now than they've ever been. That's why the ultra-wealthy love it so much. It gives them the chance to freeze society in the current moment, and call it algorithmically correct. But then, they tried the same thing in the 1800's with various Utopian societies that had no place for women or the disabled, and in the 1900's with straight out eugenics. AI is just the same old new thing.
