Wandering Adventure Party

@Gyroplast @anderseknert @patriksvensson this is all so predictable

@Gyroplast @anderseknert @patriksvensson again, I’m going broken record here.

But automating flame wars and flooding the zone like this is _precisely_ the easiest use case for the technology.

It was only a matter of time.

@anderseknert @patriksvensson “oh great, we’ve invented the automated jerk”

@anderseknert @patriksvensson called it

Flooding the zone and wasting human energy arguing with automated resources, meaning the only winning strategy if society decides to play by those rules is to turn it into chatbot vs chatbot, and eventually just a game of who can afford to throw more money at the AI money burning machine.

“Extremely disturbing” is an apt description.

@enby_of_the_apocalypse @sundogplanets in fact, oh gods, this bears great similarity to “Who Shot Mr Burns” from the Simpsons.

That show was meant to be a joke, people! A joke!

@enby_of_the_apocalypse @sundogplanets “Sharks with LAZORS on their heads!”

@enby_of_the_apocalypse @sundogplanets yeah

A giant mirror for “sunlight as a service” is one of those things that sounds great if you’re an executive who likes science fiction and has been hot boxing Silicon Valley narratives for the last twenty years.

But to anyone who reads science fiction and actually gets the underlying themes rather than just “cool tech bro”, the only way I can describe this is a horrifying plan straight out of an Austin Powers movie.

I feel this. Oh boy do I feel this.
