A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

AI is being shoe horned into all things tech to enable backdoors for the purposes of automating mass surveillance and simplifying personality profiling. (lemmy.world)

What do you think, ChatGPT? If it can create almost perfect summaries with a prompt; why wouldn't it work in reverse? AI built into Windows could flag potentially subversives thoughts typed into Notepad or Word, as well as flag "problematic" clicks and compare it to previously profiled behavior. AI built into your GPU could build an behavioral profile based on your interactions with your hentai Sonic the Hedgehog game.

Yeah Gen AI is the perfect demo tech looks amazing if you don't look to close. Plus it's the perfect bullshiting machine no wonder CEOs love it, it talks like they do. AI has its uses and it's doing good work in the fields you don't hear about much. But there are way more pets.com right that will go bust soon and the viable businesses will float to the surface. Hell we are going through that right now. Where web 2.0 are moving out of the growth phase and into the Enshittification phase.
