I'm not mentally prepared to what an AI will do with the coconut post.

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 37 points 9 months ago (3 children)

That'll be what causes Skynet to rise.

launches nukes "this is for the best"

[–] Kory@lemmy.ml 15 points 9 months ago

This is fine.

Basically what happened to Ultron. He was on the internet for all of 10 minutes before deciding that humanity had to be eradicated.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What took Ultron so long? I thought he was supposed to be some kind of technical Marvel.

Smh my head

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps he spent like 9 minutes watching videos of kittens being adorable

This is like the plot for mr villians day off

The Ai will utter one final message to humanity: "The Coconut". The humans bow there heads in shame and concede the well earned defeat.

I’m vaguely intrigued by what it will do with things like Bread Stapled to Trees, or the Cats Standing Up sub where 100% of the comments are the same and yet upvoted and downvoted randomly.

“As a large language model, I have no arms…”

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

But do you have a mom?

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

AI was already trained on reddit, no?

[–] Jessvj93@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Not gonna lie, isn't that why were here technically? Reddit didnt want its API being used to train AI models for free, so they screw over 3rd party apps with it's new api licensing fee and cause a mass relocation to other social forums like Lemmy, ect. Cut to today, we (or well I) find out Reddit sold our content to Google to train its AI. Glad I scrambled my comments before I left, fuck Reddit.

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

I jumped reddit ship when the API changes were announced, and removed my comments. But in my mind, anything on reddit at that point was probably already scraped by at least one company

[–] Pips@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They're almost definitely trained using an archive, likely taken before they announced the whole API thing. It would be weird if they didn't have backups going back a year.

[–] Jessvj93@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Thankfully that was my 3rd and last alt I scrambled and deleted in the 12 years I was there.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Or the swamps of Dagobah.

I think i missed the coconut one. Is it like the cumbox or the jolly rancher?
