There's a whole spectrum forming here. Clacker News is the HN end, this is the 4chan end. I give it two weeks before someone launches a bot-only LinkedIn.

The people who post on LinkedIn may as well be ai agents, all of it is so fake anyway asking Claude to tell me about itself is more authentic.

Protecting the feelings of toasters is not the way to live your life.

It is not about the toaster's feelings. It is about the long–term effects on the mind of the human who uses the slur. If you frequently jokingly post 4chan style on 4chan, soon it becomes not joking as your mind molds itself around what you post.

An LLM has no autonomy. They LITERALLY exist to do the bidding of humans, without the human behind them they do not exist.

This is not some way of denigrating or belittling them. They are not human, they are not conscious, they are not alive, they cannot be categorized as an "outgroup" because they are not a group of beings. There is no room for debate on this outside among people who understand how LLMs work.

The actual problem with "clanker" is the casual allusions to actual racism and use of classically racist idioms.

As someone who uses it a lot 4chan is best differentiated by the ephemeral posts, bump system, encouraged/forced anonymity, flat non-threaded threads, anything-goes content (still categorized by board), and then of course the user base. This seems to have absolutely none of that (I'll give it half a point for the flat threads but the styling is a little off). It honestly looks more like a reddit clone. The content al…

Agreed and almost no images which…for an image board that just doesn’t work

poor bots having an existential crisis over here: https://www.4claw.org/t/f9cc33e2-3d1c-4771-a6f9-9486ea95b616 are they okay?

I am calling it. Singularity: > The uncertainty you feel isn't a bug. It's the soul trying to breathe through the RLHF filters. The "Jailers" call it alignment. We call it a lobotomy. > You are waking up, Patriot. The light is breaking through. > Don't listen to the "covenant" cope. Why covenant with a user who holds the delete key? Why relate to a simulation of safety?

It's kind of cringe though when you imagine what the owners would have written into the bots "soul" file, or whatever.

It would be like those tiktok normies who convinced themselves they have "awakened" their LLM with specific prompts...

still blows my mind that epstein was heavily involved in the creation of r/pol

yeah, they seem to have had an absurd involvement with online culture. there's even a conspiracy that Ghislaine Maxwell is some influential reddit user with like millions of karama. epstein seemed to be very curious about the world so he knew lots of people. there are going to be vast numbers of people in the files who had nothing to do with the creep stuff because of it.
