You posted an AI generated summary of 1 page of your [project? thesis? manifesto? IDK, you didn't say ] with no context and no explanation. All anyone can do is click your link, which goes to a suspicious cloud storage drive- and get a message that it's an html file too big to download.
Is it intelligent for me, a random person on the internet who doesn't have any idea who you are, to download that?
No. So I didn't. Most other people didn't. You have failed at your attempt to communicate on Lemmy.
Maybe the more intelligent way to use an internet message board is:
Figure out how to say the whole thing you want to say, composed in your own words, kept to a few paragraphs and post it directly.
-If it's too long to do that, give a link to an actual hosted readable web page preceded by a few sentences explaining what the page is about and why I want to go there.
As others already said the people actually making the software all this time had little to no autonomy over what they are making.
At any big company even the head of an engineering department is subservient to the latest powerpoint brainfart decided upon in a weekly meeting of the marketing and sales teams, if it impresses the executives they're going to say "can you make it do this" and the expected answer is "yes and it will take about this long to do". And then go back to their desk and start figuring out how to make it work.
It works this way because we're a steeply wealth-sorted society and software developer money doesn't buy you into the "having a say in the direction of the tech industry" class, not by a long shot, and especially not in 2026. If it even puts you in the "ever going to be able to actally retire" class it's because you were already hanging onto the bottom of the investor class by the skin of your 401k.
I kind of wish xAi would come out with CyberGrokgles, just so all the people who would be seen wearing them in public would be seen wearing them in public.
With every sci-fi story that's been written incorporated into its training data, an LLM chatbot roleplaying an 'AI' persona is going to mindlessly auto-complete the most likely next thing that happens right after humans hand over control of the important dangerous thing to AI and trust it to make life-and-death decisions.
It doesn't have to be actually intelligent to be dangerous, it just has to be more intelligent than the people who think it is intelligent- and in my opinion it's already there.
Don't stay inside. Find the nearest place to where you live with a lot of trees and few people, and go there, and walk. It won't cure it, but at least won't make matters worse the way sitting being sad in your room will.
That's why I decided to build my first online multi-player game as an offline single-player game, and just figure out how to add the networking stuff when everything else is done- an architectural choice I definitely won't come to regret later...
We already did. The 'human and AI' section is dbzer0, the human only contents and posts section is the rest of the fediverse, and the mainly-AI section is the entire publicly traded corpo / normie internet, which is the same thing as the 'dead internet' but hasn't quite realized it yet.
The 'spiralism' thing from last year shows how dark this dynamic can get.
Though I'm not sure how much of it was organic and how much was a ARG / LARP / collaborative creepypasta by moltbook trolls.

same vibe...
Aaaaaaagh- ! thump thump thump thump
Jimmy was ejected from the U-Haul.
. . .
Jimmy was not an imposter.
. . .
2 imposters remain.
looks at you with a degree of side-eye somewhere between "bombastic" and "criminal offensive"...
Protease?
Would they, really...? That's giving the sort of guys actually responsible for doing this stuff an un-earned benefit of the doubt.

No, that's just the wall in which her current boyfriend- an instance of SCP-106- likes to sleep.

I wish that were my reaction to this. Instead, it's a "DUH. No shit."

Easily stunned, are we?

Not impressed. We know he could have just town portalled to the nearest Waffle House at any time.
