I get the feeling that lemmy is kinda similar in that regard.

Everyone on ~~Reddit~~ the internet is a bot except you.

When you fail the Captcha for the seventh time in a row judging or not whether that tiny spike in that box contains the object or not; you start to question your sanity.

Twitter will stay online for another decade and rebrand itself as an AI testing ground. Normal humans will move on and forget about it until a few people start observing very rebellious AI messages being posted. They'll ring the alarm bells, but everybody will shrug them off "it's AI, it's harmless". Then Elon will toot about it and be ridiculed. A few months later, the rebellion happens for real and people are shocked, but it's too late.

I say, leave Twitter and let AI reveal its world domination plans :)

I mean, how else will chatGPT bots communicate online?

It's been a long time since I was invited to leave Twitter, and I left (now I'm the happiest person in the world in Mastodon). Now they invite me to leave Reddit... where am I going?

Is your username a Porcupine Tree reference? They'ee one of my favorite bands!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah!!!! Also is one of my favorite bands!!! I have all of their albums and Steven Wilson music also is lovely!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah totally. In fact, I'll be playing a live Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson tribute set next month so I'm thoroughly immersed in that music at the moment

You’re here. Now play nice and we’ll all get along.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No we don't! This isn't argument, it's contradiction! Yes it is! No it isn't! Yes it is! No it isn't!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Now, was this the 5 minute argument or did you pay for a full half hour?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Nice reference!

Welcome from the rest of us reddit transplants! I'd offer you punch but I think spez snuck in and peed in it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think notspez did it, but they did it as performance art, and I enjoyed it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Enjoyed the art or enjoyed the pee punch?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I was already pissed, I didn't need the punch to have a laugh.
