Their "data set" is a Google spreadsheet with three columns and 72 rows! There isn't even good proof that they didn't totally fabricate it!

If this was a real study it would be published in a real journal not a fking press release. They don't even have the confidence in their theory to do what a lot of other AI companies do and commission real university scientists to run it.

Automated text generation has existed for decades. "Dead internet" is from 2016. Markov chain text generation dates to at least 1984. The incentives to algorithmicly generate web text have been around since before 2010. Huge swaths of the internet have been case for seo/advertising slop for decades.

Look, if you're not an expert you wouldn't know, but this chart is bullshit. They could not possibly measure this as 1. How can you tell for sure? There's no reliable automated way. 2. You're not counting the many sites that are blocking crawlers now.
But there's an even more important reason...

I may have already made this point here, tbh I don’t remember, but. I think nothing is more stressful at work than usual? So I think it’s that my reserves are low due to Holiday Feelings (TM) making me lose my shit about stuff that usually makes me go, “lol no.”

The appellation is also meant to implicitly justify violence against lessers ie when they say US cities are like "third world countries" they mean they're filled with savages it's ok to kill. It's just the theology of slavery all over again

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

One of the reasons i love tolkien is the theme that despair is an enemy
and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair
and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair
You can be as terrified or nonplussed or unperturbed as you like; the sun will still rise tomorrow & the rent will still be due on the 31st. The world has no romantic narratives for its fate except those we invent, because the world does not die. That is our privilege.
I said it elsewhere, but it’s weirdly exhilarating and addictive to be terrified all the time, and the people addicted to it, when they say this, may as well be saying “I can stop at any time, it’s just the world doing this *to* me.”

I can only think of one person for whom this is true and it’s Stephen Miller, who for some reason will not rest till the US reproduces the violent xenophobia that made his and my ancestors flee eastern Europe. The rest of his family seems normal, though
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization
