  • Isn’t the superhero supposed to come in around the time to stop these people from uniting to achieve social justice? I was under the assumption that the super hero preserves the status quo and any deviation from it is seen as villainy.

    I mean, in the dark knight bane toppled the stock market and promised to give power to the people, and spoke the truth to people about what happened when the joker was alive.

    Whereas batman leverages his generational wealth to undermine a socialist revolution and tries to paint himself the good guy after being called out for lying by “sacrificing” himself to save the city. Whereas in reality he was vacationing in France.

    The superheroes aren’t the good guys. They’re just cops with super powers.

    Superman - the cop that beats up communists

    Batman - the cop who beats up the poor

    Tony stark - the commissioner who promises the ai facial recognition tech will only be used against criminals. After all “you’ve got nothing to hide”. Is the literal embodiment of the military industrial complex. Also has a lot of beef with middle eastern people.

    Spiderman - another cop that beats up the poor but stood up to one CEO so everyone thinks he’s one of the good guys… except that was also only in one of the multiverse places afaik

    Captain America - the embodiment of America being the world’s police force

    The x-men - supported and maintained the genocide and segregation of their own people because it was more agreeable than violent revolution

    Ad nauseam

    TL;DR in a superhero story, OP would be the bad guy








  • Money is so incredibly devoid of creativity it hurts. They see it as nothing more than an extension of the ever present algorithm. It’s so fucking sad. I get that a lot of money is spent on making these systems but why can’t it be for anything more than printing more money. (Yes capitalism, comrades, I get it)

    I’m sleep deprived and have only thought about it for 10 minutes but here’s some ideas off the top of my head…

    1. Use AI to assist in reporting the disgusting content that’s pumped out for kids on YouTube. You don’t want to pay people to review every video so at least get it to report suspicious content.

    2. Train it to spot the signs of fraud to help prevent people falling for scams or identity theft

    3. Specialise it rather than some generalised system that spurts out bullshit. Actually give it roles. A purpose to exist. ChatGPT is not a personal assistant, it wasn’t designed to be one. It cannot function reliably as one. If you want to sell it as that then make it do that reliably and nothing more.

    4. Train AI to assist in accessibility broadly across the internet. A page doesn’t have TTS no problem our AI was made for this purpose. The images have no meta description? It’s all good our AI will interpret what it sees for you. Unable to pass this captcha because of impairment? no worries our AI will deal with it.

    5. For fuck sake design it to want more than immediate satisfaction from the user. I don’t want a one stop solution to an issue I want to discuss it and figure it out. Let it think for more than one second. Let it contemplate over the broader discussion rather than just my last response. Let it speak not simply respond. Let it speak honestly when it does not know an answer or is uncertain. It is merely glorified I/O in its current form. Useless for anything more than asking it which side to butter my toast (and 50% of the time it’d confidently declare that I should butter the crust). If you must burn the climate and doom our children in order to operate a b-movie skynet then please at least let it have the decency and respect to tell me it’s as ignorant as the apes that funded its existence.
