"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yeah, you just agreed with me.

You're reading bot content and content that's boosted by algorithms in the hands of companies run by billionaires

Most real people despise rich people

It was like that on Reddit, where exposure was a function of other people up voting this shit. Sure, there were bot farms, but I argued with real people who thought this nonsense. This was before ChatGPT had us app arguing with their magic 8-ball.

More proof: Trump won reelection, didn't he? Sure, he only got 49.9% of the popular vote, but doesn't that further demonstrate that there's a lot of people who think being a billionaire makes you smart?

Trump did not win.

The US is not a democracy. The progressive parties have zero chance of winning.

Put a progressive in the televised debates and give the people rank choice voting, and you'll see what the people actually want

The US is not a democracy, but 77 million people voted for him. You can't ignore that.

There are, in fact, millions of people who worship billionaires and I don't know how you think you can deny this. Just yesterday during Thanksgiving I had to listen to my sister's mother-in-law defend this man, she isn't a chatbot and she isn't being boosted by an algorithm. The US is full of temporarily embarrassed billionaires that want to be just like Musk or Trump.

It's about 30% of people. That's too high, but not high enough to win an election in a democracy

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But, high enough to rule the country. Especially when they're also the ones with all the money.

Liberal democracy can never overcome them. You need something more revolutionary to overthrow the system they've rigged.

Yes. And the progressives would have the popular vote if the US ever became a democracy

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

That's irrelevant because it won't just "become" a democracy without a revolution.
