You didn’t comprehend what I wrote.

You disagree with what? That this is a bleak time for the concept of humanity?

I agree with the sentiment, but purchasing a photo of oppressed people enjoying a small comfort in the middle of a destroyed city feels real bad.

A bleak time for the concept of humanity.

Clicking on the link and having it advertise “Licensable Picture” gives off an even more dystopic aura, and makes it all that much worse.

This comment contexualizes Meta‘s propaganda about AI, which the article doesn’t do. Mentioning Meta‘s AI blitz along with the secretive nature of this would have strengthened the article IMO.

Appreciated.

The article clearly says very little, except this:

But what Meta did with all this data is unclear.

No shit Zuck doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. The point is this article says very little and reads like a Fox News quality fear piece. Futurism is better than that.

This seems like it’s Meta testing the boundaries of contemporary chatbots so they can refine their stuff so they don’t continually get sued. Given the absurdness of modernity, where people are using these bots in-lieu of other social interactions, this seems like a worthwhile stress test. Assuming they share the findings and don’t sell them which is likely asking too much of a corp.

This article, and especially the headline, seems like it’s fearmongering without substance. It’s like the headlines from anti-science tabloids describing an research article in the most biased terms possible. Thus, this article leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Am I missing something?
