Vibecession Forever @ghazelleberner.bsky.social · 13hI agree, but the implication of "hollow shell on wheels" is that that they're more than slightly misrepresenting the shown stunt. They did something somewhat impressive as a one-off stunt. Admitting that doesn't mean I love Elon, yet some people on here can't admit that. 030 0
Vibecession Forever @ghazelleberner.bsky.social · 13hI suspect there's probably not, but I just think it's silly to imply it's "fake" in the way that people are doing. It's fake in that they are not shipping you a car that does anything like this anytime soon. But I don't doubt they were able to build a one-off. 240 0

That is all by design, but it didn't come about from the IRA or any Wagnerian bot farms. 1235 0

Reposted by Vibecession ForeverWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 14hIt is now broadly accepted among so many people - frankly, so many of YOU - that the way to prove any claim is to get a critical mass of social media likes and shares behind it. If you try to insist that false things not be treated as true, you’ll change little, but you’ll ruin your reputation. 315411 0
Reposted by Vibecession ForeverWill Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 14hI’ve honestly been wondering where Sky went and this explains it perfectly.

Vibecession Forever @ghazelleberner.bsky.social · 15hI still think you're not really understanding what I mean by incentives. You aren't rewarded by AI if you use it to make and spread misinformation, but you are rewarded by social media if you use it to make and spread misinformation. 110 0
Vibecession Forever @ghazelleberner.bsky.social · 15hI guess I don't necessarily agree that that's "the point" of AI, depending on what you mean by "information." And I think there's a marked difference between someone intentionally creating misinformation using AI and someone asking an AI chatbot for information, which was the original point here. 100 0
Vibecession Forever @ghazelleberner.bsky.social · 15hI'm saying that the point of AI isn't to make and spread misinformation, but the point of social media is. If you had AI without social media, it wouldn't invent social media in order to spread misinformation. But even before AI, social media was the most powerful vector for misinformation ever. 100 0
