@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 @dhamlinmusic @quanin @mcourcel I'm kind of not? Like, they didn't need AI to elect a fascist government to our south. AI might make things slightly better, or slightly worse...but mostly it'll just make things different. We didn't need AI to lose trust in the news media. Covid and vaccine conspiracies were alive and well before GPT. Bitcoin and cars were already destroying the environment. Cheap kids crap on YouTube was already destroying brains. AI is either a cure or a null factor.

@fastfinge @dhamlinmusic @quanin @mcourcel No but I certainly think AI helped with spreading conspiracy theories and far right talking points on all social media platforms. All of those algorithms can be rigged to show whatever they want you to see.

@lynessence @dhamlinmusic @quanin @mcourcel Right, but it's the wealthy who are rigging them. It doesn't have much to do with AI. If five people didn't control all of soal media, TV, newspapers, and radio, they couldn't do what they're doing with or without AI.
