  • It’s more “doubling dipping”.

    Walmart pays their employees less than they need to survive, and so they can keep working, they help them get on Snap program.

    Then they use SNAP to buy groceries, likely from Walmart.

    But even if not, lots of others do.

    So they get hit twice as hard. Employees won’t be able to afford to keep working there…

    And a shit ton of their customers can’t afford to shop there, or anywhere else.

    So they’re likely to get hit by theft as well, when people starve, they stop thinking about anything besides the next meal, and everyone knows Walmart lets you walk out till you pass felony threshold.

    People really going to be snatch and grabbing groceries soon. Shits gonna get real bad real soon if we have even more desperate people not thinking past tomorrow.




  • The problem is instead of finding better ways to stop it (regulations) you’re looking for “productive” ways to use it…

    Apparently because you’ve pre-emptively given up.

    But if you succeed it would lead to more AI and more damage to our planet.

    I fully understand you believe you have good intentions, I’m just struggling to find a way to explain to you that intentions don’t matter. And I don’t think I’m going to come up with a way you’ll beavle to understand.

    It’s like if someone was stuck in a hole in the ground, and instead of wanting to climb out, you yank everyone else back into the hole when they try and keep trying to get them to help you redecorate the hole.

    I truly hope someone can present that in a way that gets through to you, because you are doing real damage.







  • Ultimately the problem with LLM accusations is that short of a confession or doing some hardcore surveillance of the other person you can’t prove it

    Human variation.

    Ironically you would have to take the others person word on it, luckily you just said you were comfortable doing so.

    Some people are statistically insignificant, and to them lots of stuff is incredibly obvious and they’re constantly frustrated others can’t see it. They might even sink sizeable free time into explaining random shit, just to practice not losing their temper when people can’t see the obvious.

    So you might not be able to tell that was AI from a glance, but humans are pattern recognition machines and we’re not all equally good at it.

    So believe a “llm accusation” or not, but some people absolutely can pick out a chatbot response, especially when taking the two seconds to glance at typical comments from a user profile.

    Jump from 1-2 sentence comments to a stereotypical AI response…

    Well, again, not everyone is as good at picking out patterns quickly.

    To some what took me literally under 10 seconds and two clicks counts as “hardcore surveillance” because it would take them a long time to figure it out.

    Don’t assume everyone else is exactly like you.



  • Stop burning the planet down to generate social media comments

    I mean, I thought it would be obvious my issue was with using AI to do so…

    Even if it had been a serious question.

    But, to be fair I was thinking of what a normal.person would be able to parse, and not people who’s critical thinking had already atrophied from offloading to AI.

    They probably don’t have any idea what I meant and would need it explicitly spelled out.









  • A week ago, the Cuomo campaign released a long, racist video depicting criminals endorsing Mamdani. Critics called the ad racist. The campaign deleted it shortly after it was posted and blamed the whole thing on a junior staffer.

    Saw an article about how conservatives and even trump are “advising” Cuomo…

    And it’s super obvious.

    Cuomo and the neoliberal are so out of touch with Dem voters, they still think what works on MAGA works on us. Because to someone from the generational wealth/power as Cuomo…

    We are the same to them. We’re poor and low class and they’ve been so segregated from the common people we’re just one out-group to them.

    Nothing matters except we don’t have wealth.

    We need to start treating economic bigotry as a real thing, the wealthy have for centuries.
