  • The problem with the fediverse is that not enough people get how it works, so they don’t use it, so there’s not enough content, so there’s less incentive to use it. The benefits of the fediverse are that you can’t exploit and ruin something for everyone if there’s an alternative readily available for them to use instead, and the fediverse is BUILT on those alternatives.

    The problem with web3 is it does nothing practical enough to justify its existence. The only people who found a use case for it just used it like stock shares, being something worthless that might be valuable if enough time passes. Calling it an alternative to money is absurdly naive at best, manipulative at worst.

    Imagine if you had a boss who told you they would only pay you in company stock, and tried to say that it’s better than being paid money. That’s what this is.

    …What if someone made a captcha that’s deliberately unsolvable by anyone BUT a machine? So the only way to prove you’re not a bot is to say “I can’t understand this”. Sprinkle it into a normal, solvable captcha at a 30% chance, and there you go






  • Back in secondary school, before AI art was even a thing, there was a guy who sent me a pic of a girl in her underwear. The head was out of frame, but he claimed he had been sent it by another girl in the school.

    Of course, it wasn’t her. Pay even a little attention to the picture beyond the boobs, and it’s obvious it’s someone else. It was a shitty thing to do, especially for the girl he claimed it to be. I think he just wanted the credit for something he found with very little effort.

    We don’t talk anymore, but I feel like he’s the kind of person who really enjoys AI porn. He gets to put in very little effort, then claim credit for something that falls apart if you pay attention to it. And he doesn’t like people, so he’s fine with them being completely removed from the action.
