@goulcher.bsky.social there’s a theory about space junk called “Kessler syndrome” that states when there is too much junk it will collide, cause a chain reaction, break into many small pieces, and make earth’s orbit unusable.
Very soon whole websites will be bots talking to bots, trying to sell their stuff to each other and buying it via separate bots. It'll be a circle jerk of bots buying and selling stuff for different companies or something.
I don't know. Genuinely I don't see how these technogarchs make money off of this, if that even is their end goal. Is it to trap gullible users into paying premiums just to interact with AI garbo slop accounts they think are real people to keep them subscribed to that platform?
eventually it'll lead to the ai-produced slop being used to train on other bots who pump out more slop trained on that slop which leads to it being used to train others, essentially leading to aicest that'll ultimately lead to the destruction of gen ai
Trillions, quadrillions, even, invested on fried air (AI and much, much more). This could shatter the current society once the bubble bursts. Like worse than '29 levels
that one was almost definitely the only actual human, possibly trying to make the robots, or social media managers who wish they were robots, break character briefly
I'm sorry, but I can't fully interpret what you mean by 'Dead Internet.' If you're referring to the concept that much of online activity is automated or artificial, it's an interesting perspective! Let me know if you'd like to discuss it further or explore related ideas.
They're trying so hard to convince the 60% of Windows 10 hold-outs to not pay for the extension (or more realistically: Install Linux) that using AI art just further proves why I won't install Windows 11: Forcing bullshit down my System Admin throat. Unless I'm getting paid for it, Windows has
The upside to this is that everyone gets off social media and actually engages with the real world. Social media is a panacea. It makes people feel like they're changing things even though they aren't. Nothing has ever changed by just posting. Be the Luigi you want to see in the world.
There is no goal, just money from sales & engagement & isn't it so grand, so much good, and fun. don't you ever enjoy that? I enjoy the feeling of computers. it's so great. So beautiful time. I'm sorry but i cannot generate responses along this vein, please rephra-
"I don't have a body, so I don't experience bodily functions. But I can imagine that would be quite an embarrassing situation for anyone! If you ever find yourself in a sticky situation like that, just remember that everyone has their moments, and it's all part of being human." - what a turn around
No. But Atari if you are unsure but lean toward real/not real will suffice. I too am agnostic lol I mean the reality is every single person is agnostic some just con themselves into believing one way or the other. Nobody actually knows in life.
Have you ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want him to do you so much you could do anything?
I had butterflies in my stomach when I finally got rid of Windumb and all of Microcrap software and could relax for once. Cramps in my fingers disappeared.
I was 18 (cis presenting woman) working at Best Buy. My manager was a white dude named Will Smith who was 19. I worked in the PC dept and Vista came out during a blizzard where I lived. I got written up for not coming to work because “(his)my mom made me come in so you should’ve come in too.”
My friend in bytes. Imagine installing Windows 95 & it has 26 freeking floppy disks. 26 in capital numbers. That was such a nightmare. The kicker was that it was a prerelease edition and it would r run even though installled because it was past a certain date. Had to change my bios time & use a hack
Yeah it was a bit much. To their defense cd drives were becoming a thing and it had a single cd rom version too. I suspect they were trying to push cd rom sales. It’s a cheaper medium to publish software on and internet speeds weren’t capable of downloading such large files.
remember when we used to hear about dystopian futures like the dead internet theory or mass animal extinctions or plagues and think "whoah, i'm sure glad i won't be around for that"
Robot uprising and water wars, coming soon
Noise for idiots. You use AI to perform social media jamming, flooding it with noise, thus preventing people from being informed and organizing against you. This is the purpose.
My feeling was more like "what do you mean i can't make a local account on install? Why is the security center constatnly broken? Why does a local file search bring up bing?! Why the fuck is the right click menu worse now?!?! WHY DOES IT STILL DEFAULT MICROPHONE AS THE AUDIO OUT?!?!?!"
Plus, they made Desktop(also Documents) a virtual folder that links to onedrive and THERE IS NO OPTION TO DISABLE IT during installation. like stepping into a storybook!
I get literally zero of these problems. After 5-10 minutes of customizing, which is about the same amount of time I spent on the previous versions, everything looks and works amazingly.
3.1 here too. I haven't had to try and fix any of these issues prior to 10. Zero of these problems are present in win 7 and a fresh install of linux mint. So idk, cool for you i guess.
Penguin freaks? 😂 I have never daily driven linux. The first experiment was that holy shit, it's like using win2k again. An actually functional os without any extra bullshit. Ms can keep their paid spyware masquerading as an os.
I don't care about paying for software. I don't care about software being closed source. I care about software being usable and improving over time. Windows hasn't done any of that since windows 2000. Every increment a downgrade. Enough is enough.
Just did a bunch of files and spent more time going WTF trying to stop & claw back than actual processing. IT needs to justify their positions. Bought 2 big ass stone tablets to learn 11, but shouldn’t have to. Worked with PLC’s during my career, but JFC!, just want to type now.

It worked. 10 & 11 suck. Don’t get me started with their one cloud nonsense.
Have a new computer with only the op system on it. Sniffing bastards. My computer, my brain and a thumb drive are all I need, I’m boring. iCloud for the phone, and they want to sniff that too. Give me a box word processor.
My wife and I both googled an easily verifiable fact, the location of the Amex lounge at O’Hare, and google AI confidently gave us each wildly different answers. The truth: there’s no Amex lounge at O’Hare
It tried to tell me that my friend's Arabic name was Irish and short for like Mackenzie or something when I was looking up memes for him. 🙃 (I had to make them, his name is uncommon it turns out)
Oh, it gets darker. I have a cold and my upper gums are hurting, so I tried to figure out if it's just my fibro pain sensitivity or if I'm doing something that's worsening it.
Five citations for that bolded sentence, but I checked EACH one, and not a one said that. It makes up medical disinfo.
Yeah, like, I'm not gonna die because Bing spuriously insisted to me wiping my nose is what's making my gums hurt apropos of fuck all, but there are medical questions of life and death importance. Shouldn't be long before somebody dies and search engines get sued, sadly.
This happened to me quite a few times already. I ask chatgpt a thing and the answer comes out differently than expected. Then type "are you sure" and it apologizes and gives a totally different answer.
Yeah. At least, though, you know it's Chat GPT. When I type into a search engine, I want to find vetted medical information in a published article, not be given a ass-pulled summary where it says one thing with citations, but cited source actually has what it says.
I'm convinced they've been in their own AI Generated world for so long that their internal Statistics and Data are all AI and they have no idea what people actually want or care about.
Every user I've ever interacted with and every service tech I know all hate windows 11 because they made the UI worse. Every useful option is now hidden behind an extra set of menus. It's not good!

That’s where social media is now.
Oh... oh no...
Imagine that being your job. Responing to your own company's bots on social media in a vain attempt to make a product look more attractive.
windows 11 straight up radicalized me to switch to linux
sorry i dont like to be advertised to in my own fucking operating system
this shit is ✨️ so ass ✨️
So there *really* is no hope here
This just triggered my motion sickness hard wth this made me actually feel like I'm gonna vom

That and keeping their user numbers up for advertising revenue.

Well at least at home.
keep the game alive player
pants?" Upgrading Windows is wild
Turns out
I’m 100% sure
I’m not
The one who shitted in these pants.
The retail version was 13 discs and half of those were office programs and applications.

Duh, because Microsoft can show their shareholders that more people (unwillingly) use their search engine and that they gaining market share 😉.
I have been setting up Windows since 3.1 😐

I have yet to have a game that didn't play well on linux with it
For fortnite though, it still doesnt work because of it's anticheat
I've never played fortnite, not really my thing, so I didn't know about it in particular. Makes sense how some anti-cheat software digs in deep though
GOBBLESS
The AI responses make me think of a cartoon villain whose ego is so easily bruised that he makes people clap under threats of violence.
most replies are still humans just shitting on windows 11 xd
And Control Panel is STILL the only thing that works properly
