Just have the money people flush the system. Can we do something like that? Can we just uh, block the Internet?

I seem to recall that email scams were not super polished because their targets were people who didn’t question too much. I see that this has been adopted more widely.

I just looked it up: Wealth doesnt strongly correlate to intelligence.

…why not just tell grok the item you are looking for and have it send you a link to the best deal???

Pre-AI: Companies spending months of work to be PCI DSS compliant
Post-AI: send your credit card details as a picture in a chat

Even if this purchasing model worked, it doesn’t make sense. You’re telling me that these companies earn commission on these sales and will try to find the best deal ensuring they get the lowest commission possible on the sale? Yeah right.

They will start by skimming the referral dollars and depending on volume but eventually will start taking money to promote specific things.
We are not really at that level will LLM providers but we will be soon. Soon enough Google will more aggressively insert ads into Gemini and not long after that they will start taking money to have the LLMs casually add or avoid specific topics.

The way that they’re coming under the microscope to earn profit it’s going to happen very soon.
As if the AI won’t just buy from whichever company has paid the biggest bribe to Elon for this.

Man, the internet has really just become a propaganda and advertising machine for a handful of billionaires, hasn’t it? There’s no fixing this, is there?

If there is a christian god out there, now would be the appropriate time for a great flood to do a full reboot. You there god? At least give us a sign?

Why does everyone have to die, just because a handful of evil villains have taken over, tho. Surely an omnipresent god can do direct targeting… some well aimed lighting bolts should do it, yeah? Maybe the pre Christian version of the Christian god, Odin will be more helpful to call on?
I think there’ll be a limited reaction as time goes on, these days you see a fair few people getting fed up with the internet as it is now. I switched to an e-ink phone recently and loads of people on knowing they exist seem keen for one for example, people know Big Tech’s products are generally bad for them at the end of the day. People who are okay with the doom feed of algorithmic propaganda and slop will stick with it, but dissatisfaction has produced some pretty impressive efforts, this platform included.

One can only imagine Visa and American Express sent representatives over to Elon with a strongly worded letter and maybe a crowbar.

Please tell me that someone at least asked Elon to show them how it’s done because they were a little confused. I can’t see him not being able to show his superiority by doing it when they couldn’t.
He actually did it and accidentally doxxed himself by posting his address
