  • It runs deeper than that. You can walk back the why’s pretty easy to identify anyone’s motivation, whether it be personal interest, bias, money, glory, racism, misandry, greed, insecurity, etc.

    No one is buying rims for their car for no reason. No one is buying a firearm for no reason. No one donates to a food bank for no reason, that sort of thing, runs for president, that sort of reasoning.

    Ai is backed by the motive of a for-profit company, and unless you’re taking that grain of salt, you’re likely allowing yourself to be manipulated.



  • I’d rather not break down a human being to the same level of social benefit as an appliance.

    Perception is one thing, but the idea that these things can manipulate and misguide people who are fully invested in whatever process they have, irks me.

    I’ve been on nihilism hill. It sucks. I think people, and living things garner more genuine stimulation than a bowl full of matter or however you want to boil us down.

    Oh, people can be bad, too. There’s no doubting that, but people have identifiable motives. What does an Ai “want?”

    whatever it’s told to.












  • Our family group used to have a Signal chat until the older people in the family started having issues remembering their pins.

    They were using MMS before, but the depth of privacy needed for them was mostly dinner plans, so when the Signal chat dried up, I didn’t really care or push back on it. Whatever. I just told them that they’d get zero depth out of me beyond surface level information unless it was on Signal, but in the end our conversations never went deep enough to matter unless someone couldn’t log into Jellyfin, and by that point, they’d ask in person.
