Dang even your cable box is classic!

As an avid porn user, I can’t remember the last time I went to pornhub for any reason.

They really need better bot blocking on lemmy.

Sir. I think you have the wrong number.

And how exactly would this work?

Actually I’ll tell you how this is going to work. Sites like Wikipedia, GitHub, stack overflow, ext will have to force every one of their users to open a personal account and conduct constant verifications to make sure they’re not AI’s.

From what I’ve seen on the internet people don’t like this.

So again it can’t be both, either it’s all free or it’s all paid for. There is no in between.

Look, I know what you want to happen here and I even agree with it on the surface. Cooperations need to pay their fair share and many of them don’t. But I don’t think you understand the implications of what you’re asking for.

Let the AI’s learn for free because in a few years it won’t matter anyway.

We’re on the precipice of a technological singularity and hopefully in our lifetimes the function of a monetary economy will no longer be relevant.

If the authors of the information wanted to get paid they wouldn’t submit their intellectual property to a website that provides said information for free.

Like I said either everyone pays or no one does. You can’t have it both ways.

It houses your brain and absorbers impact… What’s strange about that?

Right but that’s the thing. You can’t have it both ways. Either the information is free or it isn’t.

If it is offered for free who queries that information should be irrelevant.

I don’t understand what the issue here is? Are people upset that companies that own the AI will churn profit from the free data available on the Internet for them to be trained on?

If so, this is a hypocritical double standard. We use the Internet for the free information ourselves. We train ourselves but if a company does it for AI all of the sudden all that free information suddenly needs to be paid for because it’s an incorporated institution?

Y’all need to figure out how free you want this content to be because there’s no in-between.

My screen doesn’t even support it… But I’m also a cheapskate.

It was around 2000 when I helped my parents build a computer from a shop in town. It was an AMD k6 with 512mb of ram and a voodoo3. I used that computer for years and years.

My childhood! Though I was more of a MechWarrior 2 guy.

Man. That sounds like a fun build.

I consider this kinda like the wild West era of computer building. There wasn’t a lot of standardization like there is now and you really have to know how to handle the software because the support wasn’t really there.

Ahhh. Nothing like a little slav jank!

Frank isn’t ugly! Come on! He’s… Well… I like him so there!

You could have shorted your comment. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to deal with this eye bleed.

And I’m telling you that the algorithm isn’t causing this.

The underlying root cause of these things have nothing to do with marketing or any algorithm that any marketing firm employs.

The underlying issues are mental illness and a lack of mental health Care in America Not to mention the basically suggestions we have for gun control instead of laws.

Marketing firms cannot and should not be held accountable for people freely using the internet or any other service that also have mental illness

The relevant conundrum is that they should regardless take some kind of responsibility for this Even if they have no liability.

The fact that you are even talking about stuff like this even if it is out of ignorance and probably naivety is that you are detracting from the underlying issues causing these things to occur in the first place.

This whole thing is nothing more than a frivolous lawsuit specifically designed to make a little bit of profit from a settlement preying on the grief and torment of people who lost a child in that terrible shooting.

They’re not intentionally targeting the mentally ill to sell them guns so they can perform crimes with them.

What’s happening is this mentally ill person was searching things, the algorithm caught on and sent them advertisements to persuade them to purchase more of the things he was looking at.

The algorithm doesn’t really care what it is as long as it qualifies in whatever marketing parameters they have.

Did the algorithm persuade or affect the person’s actions and promoted the crimes that they committed. Probably not. Do these predatory marketing firms have some kind of accountability? They probably do.

But not for the reasons that you think.

My heart goes out to the parents of this horrible tragedy and they deserve compensation for their torment.

But this just feels like a sleazy law firm looking for a quick settlement by exploiting the emotional turmoil this horrible event has caused.

Well, they won’t kill you right away… They’ll toy with you for a while then kill you.
