One of the top threads on the ClaudeAI subreddit right now: "I am done with this shit" https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1wm5c21/i_am_done_with_this_shit/

@benroyce @pixelate @emma @cwebber The valid uses for AI are very seldom chatbot-based.

[emma@orbital.horse]

@ahltorp

The phrase "valid uses" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

@Aequitas @cwebber I myself am searching for a non-gendered alternative to "whipping boy", because that's the most graphic term for the position.

@benroyce @pixelate @emma @cwebber i’m not going to be surprised if once the bubble pops all of the useful tools that they tried bundling into one package and call it “AI“, becomes their own individual tools.

@alice @cwebber omg I just cackled

@Dangerous_beans @thegrumpyenby @cwebber You don't believe the United Nations? What's wrong with *you*? Typical sighted person. Do the work. https://www.un.org/esa/socdev/enable/comp500.htm

Devin:

nobody has a problem with the disabled community using AI

i celebrate those uses. we celebrate those uses

our complaints are about all the uses of AI that harm society

you know that. you understand that difference

so there is no need to fake a conflict that does not exist

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

@Dangerous_beans @thegrumpyenby @cwebber My screen reader read it, thank you.

> Whereas the concept of a special regime for certain groups has been developed during the last few years by the UN the human rights and fundamental freedoms of marginalized and vulnerable people remain vastly underserved. Persons with disabilities are often affected by this lack of protection, as many of them suffer double or multiple discrimination, due to their disability, their age and social status, for instance.

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

@benroyce @emma @ahltorp @cwebber Did you read the part where I simply commented on how I use AI, and some one came at me for it?

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@pixelate @emma @ahltorp @cwebber

what i saw was you defending your use of AI, and not indicating that you do that because you are disabled

after their remark, *then* you indicated that

that's miscommunication, not malice

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

@benroyce @emma @ahltorp @cwebber Wait, are you not seeing the :blind: in my display name?

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@pixelate @emma @ahltorp @cwebber

yes

and you did not in your initial remark indicate you being blind was the reason for your AI use

"but that's obvious!"

ok. but can we at least say the initial conflict was about defending AI? and that people dislike that? and that if they put in the effort, they might be able to deduce why you are saying what you are saying. but this means the disagreement is simply about miscommunication and not malice?

[pixelate@tweesecake.social]

@benroyce @emma @ahltorp @cwebber Wait that's not obvious? Okay I think this is enough internet for the day, I'm gonna play Magic the Gathering Arena or something. Thank goodness for accessibility mods.

@alice @cwebber If that ever became my job I would just walk away and and let Claude bareback.

[benroyce@mastodon.social]

@pixelate @emma @ahltorp @cwebber

all i am saying is that the world is a nicer place when you first look to see if there is miscommunication involved first, before seeing malice. there is also malice in the world, of course. but again, the point is to avoid agita

@lrhodes @cwebber

it's far worse than that

#reddit is a pioneer in fake #bot engagement

the founders of reddit are on record saying 99% of the first userbase/ comments of reddit were all fakes:

reddit is full of bots. a lot of it is fake

enjoy reddit. i do

but know that you are in a sea of markov chain chatbots -> #GPT

and always have been

@indigoparadox @cwebber This is it, this is the take. This.

@Npars01 @cwebber An industry relying on potential bankruptcy? See Canadian agriculture.

It’s gone from family farms that watched out and supported each other, to little corporate agricultural operations waiting for nearby farms to fail, to allow their expansion.
