Do they not have anyone sensible left in the room? Like, you’d expect that at some point someone would have said ‘these are comically terrible, we cannot allow them to see the light of day’.

that’s basically our entire culture. ever notice how black people are disproportionately represented in comic media and particularly “reaction gifs”? just modern day ministrelism
> ever notice how black people are disproportionately represented in comic media and particularly “reaction gifs”? No, I have never noticed that. In fact, I have noticed the opposite.

I feel that these days "wrongthink" is a dogwhistle, by all means, just use X or pravda social.
I think this is the kind of rhetoric that has lead to the rise of the right in the western world. It’s something discussed here in this video. https://youtu.be/d5PR5S4xhXQ?si=eW68EoiHgADYhVUv
The triviality of this allows malevolent actors to disrupt society and produce a chasm through echo chambers, each amplifying particular voices and shifting narrative.
Free speech is important, but it won't be found on X, or pravda-dot-social, and as much has been proven multiple times. What I take issue with and hint at is that neither of these are platforms that support free-speech, they are merely illusions, and people who yap about wrongthink are exactly those oblivious to said fact.
Personally, I am tired of arguing with people, I am tired of seeking truth in conversations with people unwilling to change their minds, I just want to live my life, safely.

That's the price for Mr Zuckerberg's ownership structure. On the one hand, no one can dispute him. On the other hand, no one can dispute him.
There are about 70k engineers at facebook, I doubt its possible for zuckerberg to be aware of all the product changes that happen in meta.
However, it also shows that meta has no functioning marketing skills. This I suspect is also down to Zuck.
Had they marketed it, and more importantly, had the engineers had the training to talk to marketing first, then this wouldn't have been an issue.

#187This was probably an okay idea terribly implemented. GenAI creators on social media kind of sense. Neurosama, an AI streamer, is massively popular. Silllytavern which lets people make and chat with characters or tell stories with LLMs feeds Openrouter 20 million messages a day, which is a fraction of it's totally usage. Anecdotally I've have non tech friends learn how to install Git and work an API to get this one wo…
I think some level of Neuro's popularity is due to the Vedal + Neuro double act though, and some of the scripted/prepared replies.

#188> Conversations with the characters quickly went sideways when some users peppered them with questions including who created and developed the AI. Liv, for instance, said that her creator team included zero Black people and was predominantly white and male. It was a “pretty glaring omission given my identity”, the bot wrote in response to a question from the Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah. This is probably tr…
If you’re meta and you have to defend the AI by admitting “it’s not really intelligent and everything it says is bullshit”, that’s not a position of strength.
