Whether it's plausible that a sexy blonde nurse would love Christ, ICE, and flashing her boobs for strangers is secondary to the fact that many, many people want to believe it is.

That's such a well written burn.

I'm torn. On the one hand this is like the third useful thing I've read that so-called AI can do. If the tech can only be used to help folks with disabilities, help medical research and diagnoses, and defraud MAGAs, I'd stop being so mad about it. On the other hand, idiots aren't only available in that sociopolitical group and the affluent princes of Nigeria locked in unfortunate inheritance lawsuits are surely planning a surprising comeback with this tech.

I'd question the success that "millions of followers" implies. I think the majority of people who follow such a profile on Insta will know it's fake. Maybe not initially but they will figure this out. There is s tendency for people on the left side of the political spectrum to scratch each other's eyes out over narcissisms of minor differences. On the opposing side, people are more likely to stick together no matter what. We are about ten years in to the MAGA movement and we are just now seeing worrying cracks in an otherwise often comically unified great leader facade. So even if a user figured out this boob flashing nurse is fake, they won't unfollow because the ends justify the means to spread the message. And continuing to follow is not an indication of abject stupidity but another win in the column of owning the libtards for them. And even among the paying morons on the OnlyFans knock-off, there will be users who know this is fake but our Indian medical student is scratching their itch. People jack it to anime as well. People want to marry the Eiffel Tower.

To Meta’s credit, however, emily_hart.nurse’s life on Instagram was relatively brief. In February, Emily’s account was officially banned after Instagram flagged it for “fraudulent” activity, though her Facebook account is still active.

Another piece of circumstantial evidence that Meta is just ugh.

Anthropic is like tough tiddies the US government is doing the same shit to us.

Before we gloat too much - and let's be honest, we all wanna - CEOs tend to be of a certain vintage. I remember how I could program the VCR and my parents decidedly could not. Old folks' opinions may be less relevant here.

Bringing all these tools in is basically giving magic beans to cave people. How would they know how to use them effectively? All the while trying to figure out if they are indeed magic. This, sadly, could just be the anomaly before the numbers go up. This isn't proof positive that it's all horse shit just yet. It's just confirmation that the peddlers are overflowing with it.

Absolutely. Thiel-backed is a red flag hoisted on a flagpole whose tip reaches just below the ISS, whose width is at least 1000 football fields long, which is illuminated at all times by 5000 spotlights, and which is simultaneously and counterintuitively on fire despite the lack of oxygen at that altitude.

I'm also getting my tax advice from Gonzo on LinkedIn.

What a sad state of journalism. Celebrity posted something on social. Opinions are divided. Commenters said this. Others said that. Thanks for looking at our ads.

She may be right, I dunno. I'm criticizing the publication and quality of the story, not the actor and alleged AI influencer.

Thank you. I already had sexual intercourse today. But I appreciate your concern. I'll take your thoughts on the matter to my eLderS oF tHE fEDivErSE meeting and see what I can do for you. But temper your expectations; we were so happy to have picked you as a random victim to torment in our effort to stifle free speech, I don't think much will change. In the meantime, give a thought to the adage that if you think you're only surrounded by a-holes, you might be the a-hole.

A new account? Bitching about being banned? This must be credible.

If they don't know that they're committing a mortal sin by spamming other communities, I say let them. When they get to the pearly gate and ol' Pete is like no guys y'all punched a ticket for downstairs, they'll know they fucked up.

Is there something wrong with making a new account to make a discussion post about a video?

If the video is from a platform whose algorithm thrives on controversy, is presented in a context of controversy, on a new account, it's at least suspicious here on the lemmyverse.

So you've been thinking about joining the fediverse but it was this video you wanted to share with us that finally made you pull the trigger? It's a sequence of events I find inherently sus.

Is this not a forum website?

Yes, it is. And as such it is sometimes abused by people with ulterior motives.

This is ridiculous behavior.

That is both your prerogative to think so and a matter of opinion.

I've been respectful and open to every single person I've responded to. I am not creating drama or name calling.

Your eagerness to engage virtually any comment on this niche subject is what I find suspicious. It's the eagerness you also see by people who abuse Lemmy for rage bait.

If there's drama being created on this post, it's because people can't stand Mutahar. And I agree with them! But as someone who refuses to be an ideologue living in an echo chamber, I watch content from sources I don't agree with too, and I discuss it. I don't get what problem you have with this.

I don't know who that is and don't care enough to find out. I refer you to my criticism of the source of the video. My suspicion, which I have to say your comments have not diminished, is that you created this account and this persona to generate more views to feed the algorithm on YouTube and not because you wanted to have a serious discussion about the subject.

Correction: so you made a new account on this instance and then posted it.
