Why not use AI slop if you're just going to lie

You have no idea how right you are

So this is how I find out. This sucks balls.

Usually, I pride myself in having nuanced opinions. When generative AI was gaining ground and hype, and receiving pushback mainly from artists, I was sceptical, but optimistic. "Maybe this technology can be useful", I thought, not eager to discard a tool only because people could use it badly.

Now, I can say that I hate what "AI" has become and that I hope that this bubble bursts before it can grow any larger. Not only it's yet another huge useless drain for energy and water, but it's actively fucking up yet another project that I care about. I get that Firefox wants to stay competitive, but it's the worst watching it divert its limited resources towards useless AI and not to other much more needed areas.

I don't remember other years' choice of word, just mild disappointed with some of them. However, this one I've gotta get behind. "Slop" is such a good word for dismissing a ton of stuff, not just but mainly AI slop. It's such a widespread blow to the legitimacy AI "companies" and grifters.

“We’ve just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela — a large tanker, very large, the largest one ever seized actually,” Trump said during a meeting in the Roosevelt Room at the White House.

He's such a parody of himself lmao

I would buy a copy of a game you pirated but liked very much, just as a way of giving thanks

[-] Emanuel@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Hm, I don't think this was quite the one I was thinking of. Thanks so much, though, it is very much in the same vein as the one I'm trying to remember

Hey, so, uh, sorry if this isn't the right community. I'll remove the post in that case.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I've read a quote from Lenin on Hexbear some days ago about how revolution cannot be kickstarted only by the subjugated class' ideology, but by the ruling class' as well.

Did I dream that? Or is there an actual quote? And where is it from?

I'll thank you again in the comments, but thanks in advance anyway.

Hey, I speak Simplified English lol, Portuguese, a bit of Spanish and can somewhat read Latin (I know).

My unreviewed translation (feel free to, other Portuguese speakers) to the application form is the following:

"Como você ouviu falar de Hexbear, e por que você quer fazer parte da comunidade?

Por que você escolheu seu nome de usuário?

Qual é sua visão a respeito de minorias sexuais e de gênero / direitos LGBTQ, justiça racial, liberação de animais e movimentos similares?"

Some terms are somewhat hard to translate, so I'd thank suggestions and corrections.
