The majority of pro AI spam on the fediverse gets spread by just a handful of accounts. Usually it is people posting to one of the big “tech” pages from pro-AI PAC websites (that 74million dot org bullshit for example) or one of the billionaire mouthpiece outlets (futurism, ars technica, biz insider), and then they cross-post and repost everywhere else.
This strategy makes it so the only ways to stop seeing the shit is to get really good with personal filters or (more likely) users will block the spammer account and the communities that allow them. Notice how both of these methods also tend to block people who are bashing AI.
Seems like a behavior we need to figure out how to call out and get mods to help with? I guess Fuck AI people should start volunteering to mod Tech news? Oh no, what have I logically walked myself into…
Well, yes, but to successfully resist AI, you need to be as quiet as a mouse, especially in the future, otherwise the AI agents will quickly discover our refuge of meaning, and everything will be lost. But at the same time, do not forget and do not give in to beautiful lies.
I hope this will be clear. It’s like fighting a lion without preparation in a territory with other lions with your bare hands?
No. AI agents are not real.
Well, I wouldn’t count on it, AI agents could very well be real or appear over time.
There are not and will not ever be “AI Agents” based on LLM technology. They might make a shitty tool and call it “AI Agents” but it is not going to be this magic entity you are envisioning. I hope this is good news for you.
You know, the rapid development of AI previously seemed impossible, and what do we have now? More precisely, AI agents are almost like real users, they will have accounts, they will even be able to chat like real people and complain like real people until they are recognized, but then their recognition will become almost impossible, which will make it difficult to trust new users here.
So, bots with a fancy name?
Yes, but their nicknames and even avatars will imitate those who are in this community, and I have no idea how to deal with this. You may think that I am paranoid, that is your right.
That is what bots have been doing for decades.

Nah, text extruders didn’t seem impossible and their development has not been impressive considering the amount of hype and investment. They haven’t become significantly more capable or suited to tasks, and the primary viable usecases for LLM are still tied to transcription, translation, and captioning.
Okay, I see your point, it’s quite logical.
But still, you should be on guard to avoid getting into trouble or being ridiculed later. I personally don’t care, I think it’s obvious from my profile.
I think you may have some rather big issues with paranoia and fantastical idealizations.
I know you don’t care persay but also try to stay grounded in reality that’s real around you. Not caring to the point where you slip completely away can leave people you know and care about not knowing you anymore when you exist in your own world.
If you have to invent whole new laws, physics, and tech to make something work and even then it doesn’t nothing to help you for knowing it… It’s probably best left alone, until you are not alone.
Fuck that. Be loud. As much as they want to convince you you have no power and they’ve already won, in fact, power remains, and always has been, with the people. We are the people. Be loud, be obnoxious. Use your power.

That is a joke alright. They won’t last long without the entire system of civilization and human labor they rely on. They love the myth that they can reliably automate those systems. They can’t, and they doubly can’t against an adversary who intends on breaking those systems and then waiting for them at the exit of their underground bunker. Humans are endurance hunters. When its hunter vs hunter, all the money and preparation in the world (which they might literally have) isn’t going to do a goddamn thing to save them from sheer numbers and determination. Together, we are too strong. This is why they try to divide us. But nothing unites us like a common enemy.

No, that won’t really be funny, but it’s also not going to happen like that. You seem really obsessed with this narrative of how powerful these people are. You need to get over that. They only have the power we give them. Stop giving them so much power. You give it to them with your words about them. They are not gods among men. They are just people with a lot of money and money is just meaningless paper unless we decide to work for them and bow before them because of it. Stop doing it yourself and stop assuming everyone else is going to keep doing that, and suddenly they don’t seem so powerful anymore. Because they’re not.
