Halm, who according to his social media profiles just graduated from Harvard, tweeted that he’s simply in the arena trying stuff.

"I just wanna buuuuuuuuilllddddd" goes the annoying little fuck even before he's asked any questions about social impact and such

“The goal is to create the most addicting & personalized image recommendation system. V1 is as simple as possible. Future versions trained on current data will enable even more personalized images & user interaction in image generation."

just fuck right off

couple things:

  1. in the article it turns out he isn't even actually generating the images, he just created 187 AI images and it rotates through them
  2. one of the most insane things about our society right now has to be that someone can come out and say "the goal is to create the most addicting thing" and expect praise for it :/
  3. a woman made a version with men, "FriendOrFoeAI", and the twitter replies (and her replies to them) are amazing

Would you still find it in bad taste if it asked "Do you find her attractive? Yes/No" to fine tune mating preferences rather than the crude "Smash or Pass"?

Yeah I saw (1). It mostly made me almost chuckle in the “I’m actually wincing inside” way (I’m not even surprised at that kind of grift anyway, I’ve just seen too much of it from coiners)

To (2), heh. Yeah, it’s pretty wild.

(3) I saw, but didn’t see the replies because i refuse to give birdsite logged-in view metrics. My tiny part in helping nosedive Felon Tusk’s shittery. But it in turn means I can’t see replies, because they intentionally broke reply-visibility on loginless display

I more meant my post as to the person instead of the “product”, but I guess I wasn’t really clear about that, mea culpa

Oh I wasn't commenting to criticize you -- just adding more insane context for people who didn't feel like reading the full article lol

Fair enough :)

Because workthings I’m in super literal mode all day and don’t tend to read tone/subtext by default
