THE INTERNET

@valere j'ai la ref !

[aria@awawa.club]

@valere It's always been like this, if we're honest with ourselves

[aria@awawa.club]

@valere Anyway, pretty sure this picture is AI slop. @LunaDragofelis if you zoom in, you can see the blocks deformed in a very AI way.

[lunadragofelis@void.lgbt]

@aria @valere you're right. Looking at it more closely looks like it's definitely slop.

[valere@hostux.social]

@LunaDragofelis @aria you're right. I came across this image online and reposted it without really thinking twice about it. My bad

[aria@awawa.club]

@valere @LunaDragofelis it makes for a fun irony here, seeing as THE INTERNET is actually also being overrun with slop, in addition to its natural disrepair. Still not okay to post, in any case

[valere@hostux.social]

Since this has been shared quite a bit, a quick heads-up: this might be AI slop. I just stumbled upon the image online and reposted it without thinking twice. My bad!

@valere From ARPANET to TCP/IP to global greatness before being seized by the techno-oligarchs.
Yet another great leap for all mankind that became enshittified in the name of rampant capitalism, power and greed. Now also a tool to spread disinformation in addition to legitimate uses. Trust nothing.

[dryak@mstdn.science]

@AndiPopp @valere noticed exactly the same.

[nico@lepoulsdumonde.com]

@valere so what ? Stop looking at the finger…

[worldtravelerall7@mastodon.world]

@valere I thought it looked like this

[troupier@framapiaf.org]

@valere don't care that's a good one.

[kleines_z@queer.group]

@aria @valere @LunaDragofelis
So AI is the reason for this Meme in more than one way.

[ogjester@pnw.zone]

@valere *See also: society.*

[disco3000@climatejustice.social]

@valere nice detail, the small pillar maintained by a single person in Nebraska in the last 10yrs is still standing

[alpacamale@social.cologne]

@valere Yeah, some of the lines are weird. It's funny, it's not like this would be particularly hard to draw without AI.

[hsza@social.tudbut.de]

@valere @LunaDragofelis @aria this response is best followed up by removing the post ^^

[madness832@mstdn.party]

@valere I have some duct tape!

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

@aria @valere It was.

The OSI folks were complaining about it 40 years ago before it ever became popular.

The majority of the flaws I complain about were glaringly obvious at the design stage.

But corposcum & fascist sabotage means we're stuck with TCP/IP instead.

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

@hsza @aria @valere @LunaDragofelis There is edit capacity that works for images. Why not just use GNU Imp to remake it manually and replace the image?
