One small problem: accessibility.

It’s like giving away machine guns with some free munitions in the hopes of getting “new enthusiasts who will use it at the shooting range”, only for it to be end up in the hands of crazy people committing horrific violence.

It costs a holiday and a nice dinner to make the SCOTUS say “um, ackchually, the constitution doesn’t say anything about access to the internet”.

If only there were modern day examples like Russia, Hungary, and even the US; or historical examples like Nazi Germany, to show where this “what about the children” excuse could lead us to…

Likely it’ll use the cloud for processing, you’ll just get really hard-to-opt-out AI features, like “prompt by default” and “AI autocomplete”, which you can only “snooze” as they’ll automatically be turned back on the moment there’s a “great new feature”, like putting a filter on by default on image generators to fool the eye that it’s made by real artists.

I personally use RemedyBG + Kate + langservers (I might even make my own), which is actually better than VS.

Also at least one of the songs featured promotes irredentism, which is still very controversial even after decades of pushing the Overton window to the far-right.

I’m a developer, and I can’t just skip Windows support, also the “GUI” for debuggers on Linux aee pretty much just separate terminals for gdb, and often I can’t just jank my way out with printf() from various issues.

Centrism just got appropriated by the far-right, to push the overton window to the right, that’s all. Got a few actually centrist friends, they repeatedly get called “radical communists” for wanting to tax the rich.

For fascists, hypocrisy is a power move. It communicates to others you’re so powerful you’re effectively unstoppable.

Authoritarians like other authoritarians, until their paths to more control collide.

Due process…

The only legitimate use of genAI…

I got a glimpse into one of those places, they use porn to point and laugh at “degenerates not knowing you were supposed to shit with your ass, and not insert objects there” and the likes. When Kirk James (the guy who did the goatse image) became a sensation, it wasn’t because of people found it hot, it was literally a precursor of the later cringe culture. Except some of us actually thought it was hot.

If you do enough bad things, bad faith criticisms get their way ahead.

“Bro, if we keep feeding the AI more and more data, he willl be like a real human, then will be cracking sick jokes with me. He will be my first real friend!” – Elon Musk probably

He would just replace 95% of artists with AI, then tell them he’s hiring for tesla for ultra-hardcore work times.

And at worst, it’ll spread misinfo, which will be used against legitimate criticism. Hungary has an Orbán birtherism problem, so many claim that Orbán was born as Orsós and is secretly a Romani, and that’s the reason why he’s a corrupt politician. If dare to criticize Orbán, his followers will accuse you of having “Orbán derangement syndrome”, and being a “real racist” who tries to frame the prime minister you don’t like “the same ethnicity as robbers and murderers”…

It’s only a matter of time until someone reverse engineers it. I wouldn’t be surprized, if Windows’es NSA backdoors were already discovered, but were patched out before hitting news. Or maybe someone is keeping it for themselves.

If you ask me: I think it could be activated via either a magic string from a verified IP address, or a malicious update from Microsoft that just turns on some features. I also think the telemetry services might be part of that.

That will be only possible, if said companies will create their own instances, maybe even with ad support. Without that, all we gonna see is some corporations running said bots to promote their products. Just wait until someone is looking to but XY, then answer it with some semi-personalized with AI text to promote your own products. This can already happen with human-run accounts, but I’d choose some small business owner stumbling on Lemmy over a bot that AI generates me a response.

Good, at least no keayboard with the letters getting easily worn off
