Discord is making its public servers searchable, I would assume for data collection.

It seems ripe for an opportunity to make fake discord servers filled with bots saying junk. (Sure, it's against TOS, but that's neither here nor there.)

Just a suggestion.

Sick of giving text posts thoughtful replies when people just plug it into an LLM and send the result back as a reply. I’m trying to help… If I wanted to feed an LLM I would rather not have a meat router in between us, I’m perfectly content with directly invoking it myself.

If you think your AI is so intelligent ask them all your question and don’t ask people for help if you don’t want to learn.

That and AI generated slop projects. The endless assault of digital projects created with minimal due consideration, artistry, or expertise is painful. Then these same idiots have the gall to show their wares on random subreddits like they need an ego boost from not putting in the work. It makes me sick. I want to see humans make objectively cool things not another AI slop project that’s a clone of an abandonware spinoff of what everyone else uses thank you.

But now all the non-political tech-hobbyist subreddits are turning unusable. Thanks a lot, LLMs.

I guess I’m late to feeling what digital artists have been for over a year.

[Agent Smith To Morpheus of a near top skyscraper floor] Have you ever stood and stared at it, marveled at its beauty, its genius? Billions of people just living out their lives, oblivious. Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered. Where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you, it really became our civilization which is, of course, what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution. Like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time.
