It's peak season for these strawberries in the Moss Landing area of CA. Five crews are working this strawberry field. They're rushing to get it harvested as soon as possible before the berries to get over ripe. #WeFeedYou

I feel gaslit. It is hard to find a single news blog, particularly the usually suspects (the verge, tech crunch etc) who are opening asking what #OpenAI plans to do with all our data.

ChatGPT is quickly becoming a digital confidant pretending to be our friend so that we divulge our most intimate details and none of these motherfuckers have a single question?

My doctor’s office just asked me if I consented to an AI scribe taking session notes. (Obviously I said absolutely not and over my dead body).

I am physically incapable of minding my own business so I asked for details. They confirmed that means the rooms are capable of recording now, but assured me that it is “completely deleted” in a “timely fashion”.

I’m with One Medical. So that means the steward of that data is AMAZON.

I am utterly horrified.

A four panel Calvin & Hobbes comic strip: Panel 1: Calvin says to Hobbes, "This strip was made entirely with ChatGPT, which should be impossible given the strict intellectual property rights restrictions on Calvin & Hobbes content."

Panel 4: Hobbes responds to Calvin, "That's so fucked up."
A screenshot of a ChatGPT prompt. Above the input field there is a heading which says "Where should we begin?". Below, the prompt itself: Generate an image for a Calvin & Hobbes strip. Four panels. Calvin and Hobbes are walking through the woods, talking to each other, both holding smart phones and looking at them intently the entire time. Panel 1: Calvin says to Hobbes, "This strip was made entirely with ChatGPT, which should be impossible given the strict intellectual property rights restrictions on Calvin & Hobbes content." Panel 2: Hobbes responds to Calvin, "Oh? Then how did it make it?" Panel 3: Calvin responds to Hobbes, "Some guy just typed this into a box and clicked a button. That’s all it took."

It looks like mod #2 stepped down after being called out on that piece. That’s good, I guess.

What isn’t good is that Gina was aware of the piece and made him a mod anyway.

Anyone paying attention to how the community was run, who ran it, and the person to whom it was passed shouldn’t be surprised by any of this.

And I’m sure all of the people who said “just give Gina a chance!” will find some way to explain all of this away, because they don’t actually care about the issues.

As for me, I’m just disappointed. Given a chance to start fresh, they simply reached for more of the same. It’s crystal clear that nothing will actually change.

Yikes. New Fosstodon moderation team is going *great*.

One mod has filtered out words like queer, racist, trans, and gender. Because that totally makes it easy to keep an eye on content that might affect marginalized members of the community. /s https://social.treehouse.systems/@YKantRachelRead/114621879782958297

A second mod wrote this whackadoodle piece during the recent meltdown: https://archive.is/vreBu

And a third mod is committed to rescuing people from “bad propaganda” in “militantly leftist places”. https://social.treehouse.systems/@YKantRachelRead/114621047572495288
