A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I have a very very real problem with this oversimplification of very distinct tech viewpoints.
Like, what, you dont think information should be freely available? You LIKE the model where information is locked down with hefty fees? Because that's what the actual "tech bros" want.
This is at best ignorant and at worst just hateful.
monetizing empathy
You Cave Johnsons...!
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you.
I think only a handful of people could remain principled in spite of having attained wealth, power and status. And it is not that power makes one greedy, I think a person who attains success becomes surrounded by sycophants and yes-men who like to gain access to the successful person for the sycophants' own use.
I'm going in the opposite direction.
I'm recognizing how much we've been herded like sheep just to make rich people richer, and I'm fighting back in the ways that I can.
People like 2025 guy have never held thoughts like the other 2, they were always self serving cunts. They just kept a facade till they depended on others, but once they joined the rich fucks club, they dropped the facade.
This is why I always tell employers up front to never put me in, nor consider me for, management tracks. “I like to work in the trenches.” I have no desire to be among these corporate people.
What tech are we talking about here, theres a billion different pieces of software out there all doing drastically different things.
The first one is a hacktivist, the second one is an OSS dev, and the third is a tech bro. So not really a pipeline since there are still hacktivists, OSS devs, ans tech enthusiasts (also most tech bros started in finance)
That feels like saying evolution isn't real as there are apes, great apes and humans at the same time.
I'm that, but in reverse, a bro tech
It's not a pipeline. 2018 and 2025 guys either had 2014 guy killed or they ruined his life and forced him into suicide.
Yay I love AI slop, keep feeeding me AI slop I fucking love it, I fucking love AI shit memes, they are definitivelt not obviously AI, and definitively not slop
I wonder how somebody can completely miss their own message like this. Or maybe somebody made an original image and then a techbro made this AI slop as a duplicate to spite them.
How can you tell it's AI generated? This is a real question because I legitimately have trouble recognizing AI that doesn't have egregious issues like mangled fingers, and unfortunately I think recognizing AI content is going to be a survival skill in the next decade.
The artstyle. I have learned (through experencie, more than through actual research) what artstyles AI uses, but I can't point out exactly what are their characteristics, they just give me a special type of uncanny valley vibes. In this one, the eyes are what stand out the most because I do remember more memes with that type of eyes, but I think I have also seen these face shapes in other AI memes.
Edit: The two people who hate me for not liking AI, make yourselves seen, I'm aware of your downvoting in comments!
Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You think you can identify AI because you only take into consideration the AI that you're able to identify.
Every time you get tricked into thinking AI is an actual person, you don't realize it so you don't factor it in.
I swear, a lot of the AI hate these days really outs how ignorant people are about the world they live and how illogically they go about obtaining or verifying information.

Well, yeah, when I said I learned the artstyles that it uses, I meant the low quality, barely polished ones that most people use to make AI slop.

The hate is because people will not only post slop, but it will be mass-produced slop because they have to spend ZERO time and effort on it so across different people the artstyle will be similar and, therefore, predictable.
Edit: Fixed formatting
The fun thing is, old AI slop helps new AI slop look more believable. The main tells is line work and fonts. Chat GPT has a very distinct art style, with a lot of soft lines and generic fonts. It's also extremely consistent. You could look up a dedicated sub for Chat GPT memes to get a feel for it. Then you'll start to loathe it.
I need it. I'll pay for it even!!
