I cannot get over how fucked the internet is becoming because of LLMs and how absolutely critical it is to create meaningful 1-on-1 relationships rather than going for "reach" or "virality."

I will never understand all the effort expended just to fill the internet with useless gibberish that no one asked for

@hakan_geijer @HeavenlyPossum I think it's a mix of material interests and ideology: the crude naive materialism that has long plagued engineering fusing with the crude behaviorism that's been the core of "managerial culture" for a long time.
Part of it is that this wave of capitalists is at several removes from the material basis of wealth production. There are many stories of Musk's ignorance of technology, for instance.
They literally don't understand that labor creates wealth.

@hakan_geijer I think that's spot on. So much of the negative LLM usage is just previous bad behavior but in higher volume.

@HeavenlyPossum @hakan_geijer destabilization helps power accumulations (hierarchies). Truth is power, but when there is no truth, power is truth.

I mean, yes, this makes perfect sense from a sort of meta-perspective, but it’s hard to imagine someone thinking “I will fake old posts on a forum for helping people with their physics homework in order to accumulate more power.”

@HeavenlyPossum @hakan_geijer sure but it's not hard to imagine "I will poison this well so the people will need my water", but with information instead of water.

It's a weapon. Signal jamming.

@HeavenlyPossum @hakan_geijer plus think of how patriarchal men catcall & make women feel unsafe almost instinctually. People know what benefits the systems they worship, whether it be subconscious or conscious.

@hakan_geijer this scares me so much, the complete destruction of what used to be a collection of much of humanity’s knowledge, by drowning it in completely baseless, wrong but plausible sounding gibberish, spreading massive amounts of misinformation in the process. And with this kind of historical revisionism it’s becoming even harder to find anything that is not likely to be like that. This really is the post-factual era of the internet
