I mean… yeah.
IMO, those are the kind of people who should be on a list… not trans people who would like to be able to use a public bathroom.
But, we live in a world where apparently 40% of cops with access to camera networks that track liscense plate movement, use that to stalk their exes.
Yeah, my only quibble would be that for the violators, well, they do get off on power tripping, being able to fuck with other people in ways that they cannot prevent or stymie.
Its basically the rapist/groomer type of mindset.
So it does end up being sexual, but basically via extra steps.
But yes… its fucked up either way, also fucked up as a potential business model.
POV porn exists, you could just actually work out an agreement with a strip club to basically rent it out to do a shoot one day, if you wanted to end up with pretty much the same kind of video, except everyone involved actually signed up for it.
I don’t know if you’ve been to a American strip club.
Rules often tend to be more like ‘guidelines’, that don’t actually exist as long as you appear to be following them, appear to understand the concept of plausible deniability, and/or are throwing around enough money to make people look the other way.
Pay the cover, play it cool, don’t ask stupid questions, don’t get caught?
I can absolutely see this happening.
Grok, undress her, render this entire scene as if she had no clothes… or was only wearing cellophane, whatever.
… Its still wild to me that people will do something like that, when you can literally just go to a strip club and look, or look at the vast, uncountable amount of erotica or porn that people freely post of themselves.
… Oh dear god.
Somebody is going to wear these things into a strip club and sell it like a fucking virtu in cyberpunk 77.
You can record a video of someone shopping, and then feed it to a visual AI.
Blamo presto, now they’re a shoplifter, or at least everyone on social media thinks they are.
The possibilities are endless.
They are less expensive.
EDIT:
Sorry, I misread the parent comment.
You would use them for literally anything you typically or potentially could use a phone for.
If you are not playing video games on your phone… there is basically no common reason to have a top spec brand new phone.
What do I want my phone to do?
Make calls, send messages, run a web browser, check emails, take a picture or video every once in a while, act as a notepad, check a weather forecast, have some map explorer, use some entirely 2D proprietary apps for things like… groceries or hailing a ride or checking my bank balance.
Pretty sure that right there is about 80% of people’s phone use case.
You do not need top spec hardware to do any of that.
You have the gaming thing to do the gaming stuff.
Double post, but:
I just now realized I fat fingered my own semi-manual autocorrect, and did not use originally ‘They contracted’, which is what I meant.
I have accordingly here made log of my revision commit, which should now be reflected above.
Apologies for any confusion this may have created, derp.
…
Ok, so we’re just actually doing the infinite paperclip machine.
… fuck you, Clippy.
I agree with you… its the people and the way they’ve basically conditioned themselves to act, not the LLM.
Also, to further confuse the metaphor:
You can’t dig your way out of a hole that you flooded, doesn’t matter how hard you pedal your mind bicycle.
I’m gonna try to say this gently:
Microsoft… is gone now.
They contracted terminal corporate dementia.
They’re not going to be the same anymore.
… I used to work for them.
Something like was inevitable, given their highly cliquey and authoritarian corporate culture.
They’ve imploded under the weight of around two decades of accumulating technical debt, around two decades of the guys and gals that huffed the most farts getting the most promoted.
They are now primarily a member of the military industrial complex.
Microsoft claims to have fixed…
Via their own vibe-coding.
That supposedly fixed the vibe-coding attribution problem.
Mhm, yep, seems hunky dory to me!
Right.
Throw ‘fradulent’ in as an adjective before ‘subscription payment plan’.
Yep.
Unless somebody manages to … inject a hostile/unauthorized LLM as a mod or admin or something, in an instance they’re not an admin of, in a comm they’re not a mod of…
Then people react by personally blocking or perhaps instance wide defederating or maybe conceiveably someone actually uses this in a generally good way, to identify trolls/sock puppets.
As to… LLM scraping of comments?
Lemmy is public, anyone can do that.
I’ve done it to myself with a local LLM hooked up to a search engine, and I’m not a mod or admin of anything.
Hence why you probably should use a pseudonym and not give too much information about yourself, if you’re concerned about privacy… same… rules the internet has always had.
I suppose that instances could implement various anti-scraping measures, but that’s never going to be 100% effective as scrapers vs anti-scrapers has also basically always been a constantly escalating arms race.
No no no.
This is fine.
Because you have nothing to worry about if you’ve done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.
Because mass surveillance apparati are never wrong, and no one ever uses them improperly.
Therefore, everyone who disagrees with me is a paranoid nutjob.
^^^ fucking braindead morons for at least the last 20 years ^^^
Its the place where you go in capitalism land to pick your favorite brand/flavor of subscription payment plan for the ability to not die from an injury or health condition, but instead become chronically impoverished, or become a functional indebted slave laborer.
Yes.
This is why people have been screaming about ‘its only your meta data we are sharing’ being a crock of horseshit for over a decade now, because meta data + data analysis = very high confidence of actual PII.
But we didn’t listen to those paranoid nerds, so now we live in hell.
Oh also literally every company or organization does this with all the data they can legally (or sometimes illegally) do this with.
They get a slap on the wrist, sometimes… data is very profitable.
Oh and Palantir has all of this kind of data, if that makes you feel better.
Old internet addage: If you’re getting something for free, you are the product.
Oh oh bonus:
The laws around this will never change unless basically everyone in the country with a net worth of ~$250 million or greater suddenly dies.
.crom
Crom.crom
… It offers nothing.
Also .slash, because chaos must reign.
Ohh!
How about .— for all the LLMs to create their own deepweb on?
We can just call the realworld version of the Blackwall the EmWall, fittingly more stupid and annoyingly named than anything in actual cyberpunk, as seems to be the writing style for our timeline.
Oh I’m not implying, I’m directly stating it.
If you cannot go 24 hrs, 48 hrs, a week, without using a phone for anything other than making actual phone calls on it, you have a problem and need, at bare minimum, a hobby.
I’d suggest reading whole books.
There is so much literature on how massive (especially shortform) social media use destroys your ability to concentrate, lessens your attention span, causes addiction, and is intentionally designed to cause addiction.
Its literally come out in court, fairly recently.
If you can’t hit pause on this on your own, yeah, you need help.
At this point, I don’t know where that help is going to or should come from, but I know an addict when I see one.
Because I am one.
I’m addicted to nictoine, I start getting real pissy around the 24 hr cold turkey mark.
I certainly would count myself amongst those who would need actual help to actually quit.
Difference here being, my nicotine habit isn’t and wasn’t tolerated or accepted in public school, I did that shit to myself, a decade afterward, as a legally/socially self responsible adult.
Uh wait uh Mr Jacket Clown Man, wasn’t this kind of your plan?
You… you’re on the advisory panel.
For AI policy.
… ?
In the future, memory will cost nothing because we will just assume no human beings have any.
Because those one are how Palantir makes money.
