I have a theory that the general epistemic crisis has led to a lot of very online people getting used to communicating primarily through oughtposting and kind of forgetting how to deal with isposting
people gotta chill out about making normative vs. descriptive claims. it’s tedious to have to specify “of course, I do NOT support fire” if you’re talking about a house burning down.

love to see someone complaining about seeing an 'immoral' advert online but being pwned and told it's based on their browsing history.
The only problem is that I don't think it's real and online ads are still often just targeted to broad-ish demographics / the targeting is just not perfect?

I love a chronological no-nonsense timeline but this is definitely the best 'algorithmic' feed I've found so far

The two greatest evils known to mankind, A.I. and the person directly in front of you in line at the post office, have finally teamed up. We’re done.
Woman in line in front of me at the post office is not happy about the cost of shipping. She just whipped out her phone, asked ChatGPT how much it thinks the shipping should cost, and is trying to get the mailman to honor that price.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Mam has found more of my early journalism.
Translation: Pets. I had a cat and two fish but both fish died and the cat ran away somewhere.

No ambiguity from my German relatives who have been known to open a conversation with "You're looking fat", or my favorite: "Why are you fat?"
I know, whenever someone greets me with "you're looking well", that they mean my weight has changed but it always takes a moment to work out in which direction they mean

the ai bot isn’t “admitting” its secrets to you or “revealing” its creators intentions it’s just a word generating machine generating words the only meaning is that which you read into it and imo that should be none

Yeah, it's just ceding a lot of ground IMO. The worst thing is that there isn't a specific list of forbidden words so people self-censor assuming that i.e. tiktok de-ranks "murder" in the algorithm but somehow hasn't caught on to "unalive" etc

I find this so infuriating, you just shouldn't be on that platform anymore if you have to do this

Banking communications are literally the most direct, concise messages possible, and now I have to skip a two graf summary of them, even when they only say "you have to click a link to see the real message in your app inbox."

Every app: Hey bro! Great news! We just added an AI tool you didn't f#*%ing ask for to your email/credit card/social media app that makes it longer for your messages to load & then front-loads you with a summary that's not accurate and is missing context! And you have to manually close it! Eat shit!
