i dont use tiktok or watch instagram reels or use chatgpt or really use any online platform that hasnt been the same platforms ive used since 2016 but sometimes ill see a post on here thats like “i really hate how common its become to meet someone new and after 15 minutes they diagnose you as wire mother type and immediately stop talking to you” and ill think “wow that sounds crazy but surely op is exaggerating a set of bad personal experiences because this is not something ive ever even heard of” and then ill tell my boyfriend this and hell pull up a bunch of tiktoks where people are talking about how their wire mother personality type ex tried to gaslight and manipulate them and how being a soft gentle cloth mother type in a world full of wire mothers is so so so scary
Jack Dorsey funded this with his nonprofit AndOtherStuff. The home page for the organization explicitly lists AI as one of its pillars, saying a goal is “making NOSTR the best social protocol for open source AI development and implementation”
It’s a program that publicly shares its code for free online, so that anyone can use it for themselves. This means that anything this AI is trained on could eventually make its way into any business, social media site, etc. That uses this code. Or, if not, it’ll have the ability to harvest content as well as this.
Even since the app doesn’t allow AI openly on the videos themselves, the app is likely to use our original content to train its AI. You might have seen that some AI have experienced a positive feedback loop of declining quality, training itself on other AI slop until anything it produces is unintelligible.
This is likely an attempt to prevent that in video format
Then, any other company that wants to use the code can use this better trained AI to make it even harder to recognize AI across the board.
You can read about the connection to AndOtherStuff, as well as the developers’ reasons for the project here:
TLDR; do not give Jack Dorsey any credit for this, do not download the app, and tell others not to either. It’s a nostalgia-bait attempt at fueling another AI model
I see the pendulum is firmly in the “only idiot losers go into the trades, have fun being crippled at age 40”. But not to worry, in another two months it’ll be back to “nice student debt idiot, has your job been taken by AI yet?”
And so balance will be kept and everyone will be wrong forever
“The trades are backbreaking, thankless work that will CRIPPLE you for LIFE” not really anymore if you wear your PPE and do team lifts
“Yeah, tradespeople are raking in 6 figures and living the high life while you all drown in student debt!” Actually a lot of us also have student debt and while the trades can pay very well, you’re unlikely to take home 6 figures without working an incredible amount of overtime. Union benefits are good though
“That’s right, only the TOUGHEST and MANLIEST of men could possibly handle these jobs!” My apprentice is a fat 5'3 woman and she’s doing the same job as you, calm down Rambo
“Yeah, literally anyone can do this stuff, that’s why in the post capitalist utopian commune we’ll all just take turns” it’s still difficult and dangerous manual labor that takes intense training and skill to do properly
“Yeah we have to ACTUALLY work for our paycheck, not like those whiny white collar nerds who just sit at a desk all day” well I managed to slack off enough to write all this, didn’t I
the post means what it means. it doesn’t mean come to the largest city in the country with a police force that is extremely, extremely violent and as well equipped as most normal countries militaries or come to a state with a coastline. that is, in fact, probably the riskiest thing you could possibly do.
do not come to the united states. there is nothing here worth dying or being sent to a slave penal colony for.
We need one of those old fashioned tourism posters for the US with “There is nothing here worth dying or being sent to a slave penal colony for” as the tagline
