The speaker I imagined while reading this...

Just like Mutual of Omaha, Soylent Green "is people."

"I'm a people person!" - Tastee-Ghoul advertising tagline

crystalmariepa5.bsky.social•412 days ago

This sounds straight out of Xenogears, a PS1 game which talks about the "Soylent System" which is a euphemism for humans recycled into Paté

Woohoo, Over the air feature upgrades are killing it!

"The Scoops are necessary to keep up production. People who are Scooped during the course of their protest understand they will be used to produce more Soylent Green. They could have opted out by simply not being in the path of the Scoops."

Business plan assumes stealing a bunch of stuff in order for the business to be profitable… hang on let me just get a crew together to hit houses in another town and call it a novel asset relocation initiative

theotherspeakman.bsky.social•412 days ago

You mean Novel Asset Relocation Co-Op (NARCO) the hot new thing? Groups of like-minded people love getting out, finding new things, and getting rich doing it!

Wait, Soylent Green IS PEOPLE? Why didn’t anyone tell us?

traveller-in-black.bsky.social•412 days ago

Because it wasn't Thursday, which is SOYLENT GREEN DAY.

intheruins.bsky.social•412 days ago

Hey, most of human existence has transpired without AI tools meat grinding intellectual property. I think we'll be OK.

beccasmullet.bsky.social•412 days ago

Uh-oh. You know what that means....

synphoenix.bsky.social•411 days ago

Best analogy ever.

As it turns out, large plantation farming is *much easier* with slave labor. Who knew?

Oh. My. Gosh. You win. I've seen a lot of AMAZING re-posts of this article today, but yours takes the cake! Err... Soylent!

I mean it’s impossible to say make movies out of popular books without copyrighted material. Thus movie studios pay money to license those books. It’s that second part that seems to confuse the AI crowd.

We're going to need UBI

At least you can eat Soylent Green and it will sustain you

Yes I am saying statistic based image generation is worse than mass forced cannibalism

I’m a hardliner

chuckwendig.bsky.social•412 days ago

see this is why we're friends

I thought it was because no one else oils your beard with my deep almost holy reverence

well that’s the second reason

If I'm understanding correctly, you're saying OpenAI is using human flesh as copyrighted material to train their new super-AI which, inadvertently craves more human flesh.

I am speechless, sir.

alwayscoffee.bsky.social•412 days ago

These absolutely GHOULS.

joeauerbach.bsky.social•412 days ago

So as someone that has worked most of his life in IT and has done some work with machine learning, let me simply say that this is absolute nonsense.

What he means is that he can't do it without paying for it. Poor baby.

theotherspeakman.bsky.social•412 days ago

Specifically, he can't profit off it.

He could totally pay people.

But how will we create our half-assed substitute for real things without stealing all of your real things
