Of course it’s “fake”; it’s just, like, one component of the overall simulation. Duh.

I’ve been accused of being an NPC by my kids, especially when they are behind on their homework. 
That, right there, should tell you something important. “Generative” they are not. They are interpolating at best, at worst in kind of a “3 Body Problem” kind of way where they can spin off into chaos with just the right bump.

The NPC meme was always fascist dehumanisation of minorities. It makes eliminationism easier.

You’re the NPCs now, kiddos!

Gee, it’s almost like training an AI on a site widely known as a shitposting hub leads to it not being very good at understanding reality.

Via the IP List:
Generative AI allows creators to weaponize the algorithms’ weaknesses to monetize and popularize low-effort crap, and ultimately, what is a platform to do? Ban anything that uses AI-generated content? Adjust the algorithm to penalize videos without people’s faces?

Regarding the death of “the Internet”, as described above:
Platforms aim to collect content generated by humans and monetize it with advertising.
Matching a finite amount of ad revenue to conforming content and pliant users is a huge job; even before LLM’s platforms left that mostly up to automation, or to users doing the job for them with “likes” and so forth.
Now let the amount of conforming content go to ∞ and the amount of ad revenue remain the same. Even assuming people look at the ∞ content, costs go up by that amount and profits evaporate.
Let the amount of personal data collected per view be divided by that ∞ content. Significance of that data also goes to zero, along with profit.
Perhaps we are indeed seeing the end of the advertising- and surveillance-driven internet.
Hooray

Every major tech firm is betting billions of dollars that the generative AI revolution will change society - yet when you look under the hood, the reality of generative AI might be far grimmer. Ed Zitron walks you through the many signs that we’re on the verge of the AI bubble popping - and what the consequences might be if it does.
