Just remember, it can, and will, always get worse!

Lmao so many people telling on themselves in that thread. “I don’t get it, I regularly poison open source projects with LLM code!”

“Oh man, this brain fog I have sure makes it hard to think. Guess I’ll use my trusty LLM! ChatGPT says lead paint is tastier and better for your brain than COVID? Don’t mind if I do!”

Martial law and free speech restrictions are only bad if the bad guys do it, also we get to decide who the bad guys are

I’m just hoping that i get a plaque or something 1000 years from now in the Harvard meme archaeology department or similar

a good follow on insta if you use it

Such a good post. LWers are either incapable of critical thought or self scrutiny, or are unwilling and think verbal diarrhea is a better choice.

I listen to a podcast about black/african american conspiracy theories, and I got a podcast ad from Ed Zitron, so there’s that.

Some good posts up in that sub.

One answer perhaps would be that anyone who thinks AI art is good probably lacks the taste to appreciate anything beyond the generic, and the discernment to tell that it is submerged in the depths of uncanny valley. So you have a bunch of AI chuds sharing this creep shit without realising it’s creepy and that it looks terrible.

Dumpster Fire Elemental is great. Could be shortened to just Dumpster Elemental. Then you could have DFE/DE for AGI/AI. But also just DFE in full for everything is good too.

The rest are good but I think a little too in the neighbourhood of AI for me- I want to forget about this substitution, then later encounter an article talking about how dumpster fire elementals are consuming more energy per day than all of europe and wonder what the hell is going on, before remembering I have the plugin installed. But that’s just my stupid opinion :)

Ok my real pitch is: something that can have agency, so that when the word substitution happens, you still have a parseable sentence, most of the time. Take “Garbage Ape” (from the heathcliff comics I guess), for example:

• “I am a Garbage Ape ethicist”
• “It’s Garbage Ape Welfare discussion week”
• “I prompted a Garbage Ape to generate these image”
• “I think Garbage Apes pose a serious existential threat”
• “We’re proud to announce our new Garbage Ape, Steve”

Though it’s hard to pick a thing that conjures the right image.
