MODERATORS
unfortunately feeding the beast was normalized long ago
there was some resistance in the early 2000's but we got lazy and want cheap flights, easy ways to pay for shit and real time maps so gave it all up for lolz
those didnt generate slop and steal from creators
generative AI is different
i think it can be useful in some situations but i think it should be trained ethically
There was no need to steal, people willing gave access into every facet of their lives from banking to socials to spotify.
We were generating the slop and feeding it to the beast on a grand scale for decades, now the beast is vomiting all the slop back up.
