  • I don’t understand the comments suggesting this is “guilty by proxy”. These platforms have algorithms designed to keep you engaged and through their callousness, have allowed extremist content to remain visible.

    Are we going to ignore all the anti-vaxxer groups who fueled vaccine hesitancy which resulted in long dead diseases making a resurgence?

    To call Facebook anything less than complicit in the rise of extremist ideologies and conspiratorial beliefs, is extremely short-sighted.

    “But Freedom of Speech!”

    If that speech causes harm like convincing a teenager walking into a grocery store and gunning people down is a good idea, you don’t deserve to have that speech. Sorry, you’ve violated the social contract and those people’s blood is on your hands.













  • Everything you’ve said I agree with wholeheartedly. This kind of cornercutting isn’t good for us as a species. When you eliminate the struggle involved in developing skills, it cheapens whatever you’ve produced. Just soulless garbage and it’ll proliferate the most in art spaces.

    The first thing that happened was that Microsoft implemented ChatGPT into Windows as part of their Copilot feature. It can now use your activity on your pc as data points and the next step is sure as shit going to be an integration with Bing Ads. I know this because Microsoft presented this to our company.

    I distrusted it then and I want it to burn now.


  • There’s a difference between using ChatGPT to help you write a paper and having ChatGPT write the paper for you. One invokes plagiarism which schools/universities are strongly against.

    The problem is being able to differentiate between a paper that’s been written by a human (which may or may not be written with ChatGPT’s assistance) and a paper entirely written by ChatGPT and presented as a student’s own work.

    I want to strongly stress that in the latter situation, it is plagiarism. The argument doesn’t even involve the plagiarism that ChatGPT does. The definition of plagiarism is simple, ChatGPT wrote a paper, you the student did not and you are presenting ChatGPT’s paper as your own, ergo plagiarism.
