    This is the second time Cuomo has released an ad using AI to make a Mamdani puppet say what they want.

    Crazy how Americans are scare by the word socialism. Like, Canada is a social democracy and it hasn’t turned into Stalin’s USSR. People just live longer, healthier and kids don’t risk to get shot at school.

      Crazy how being against fascism is also terroristic in America. Like hating Hitler and thinking the things he did was wrong is just one example that can get your rights stripped and thrown into Guantanamo.

    (I watched the whole ad)

    Yeah…

    I mean, I’m a local ML tinkerer. I’m practically an AI-loving extremist on Lemmy, and this is just… weird? Even if I was a New York Republican or whatever, it feels like a clickbait supplement ad your boomer uncle’d send you from Facebook, complete with emojiis.

    I think this is why many like Trump. For all his antics and trolling, it’s often authentic, where this feels like an alien trying to figure out what a young adult would tweet.

    I’d say Cuomo needs to be authentic, too, but that’d probably be even worse, heh.

      ML tech isn’t bad, just like blockchain isn’t bad. It’s the gross capitalist opportunism happening around it that makes it overpromise (to the detriment of quality), overbuild (to the detriment of the environment), overuse (to the detriment of the economy), and overstimulate (to the detriment of mental health) while stealing the hard work of basically all of humanity up to this point (like then or not, the material reality is that these companies should be compensating artists and authors alike for their work being used for training).

      And with all that power, they do THIS fucking shit with it.

      I’m all for local LLMs to be assistants, autocompletes, and reference librarians; but just like the web, they were better when you had to be a fucking turbo-nerd to get them working.

        One unique thing I’ve observed is that big firms, especially the US ones, seem to miss all the cool innovations coming from LLM research papers… unless its in house, of course.

        So it’s also insular corporate ‘don’t innovate, scale up’ culture kind of poisoning them too. They don’t have to be so expensive and big to be useful tools.

          Also the fact that a lot of the big firms really seem to be just interested in it as a way to get more user data. People will share some pretty sensitive info with an LLM that they wouldn’t otherwise provide.

          Running locally is definitely the way to go, if you’re going to use them.

    We can now confirm that Cuomo’s Facebook feed is so AI slopped he sees this as perfectly normal

    Turns out the algorithm was the brain worms we made along the way, or something

    trump is advising him Cuomo on his campaign…

    That’s how out of touch neoliberal all, they don’t see voters as “us” regard of how we vote. We’re poor and low class, they have more in common with trump than anyone who would actually vote for them

    That’s why they’re so out of touch and keep losing to actual fascists. The fascists at least play to their base.

    The hilarious thing is the ruling class couldn’t find a better bullshitter in a city of 10 million people than Cuomo.

    “see, I’m a socialist, some people need to get tricked while others get the treat”

    Crazy seeing an ad like that come from someone who calls himself a democrat. The kind of low denominator bullshit the GoP peddles to the inbred part of its base.

    He then proceeds to scoop up multiple sweets with both hands, before screaming and shouting the word “defund” when a child dressed as a police officer approaches the same house.

    Why did that make me laugh
