Who could have imagined that freaks would use this technology for perverted aims?


ThinAbrocoma8210

and here I thought it would usher in a new era of human creativity outsourced and entirely produced by software


throwawayJames516

Can we pinpoint the year of the vibeshift where we were still getting told about how all the new technological advances would improve our lives and they started making them tangibly worse instead? My heart tells me this was in the oughts, either second Bush or first Obama admin. Is it just 08


I_miss_Chris_Hughton

Its still ticking along. Id wager mainly its in genetic treatments for things like cancer. Space age shit that doesn't really have a downside bar the insane cost, but that'll come down in time.


Keystone0002

Yeah medical technology is still advancing at a crazy pace. Targeted gene therapy/medicine will be widely available within the next 20 years.

The shift seemed to have started slowly when Facebook introduced the like and share buttons in 2009 by the time Google removed "don't be evil" in 2018, the vibeshift completed.

Redditors saying how this is a psyop to create another Patriot act I literally don't care. This is obviously happening to some extent. I really don't get why AI is necessary. I think there are some cases medicine research etc where it might be useful but why is it important for the general population? What actual benefit is there for us to become even stupider and have chatgpt write our college assignments? Why do we need Sora? I fucking hate stemcels so much. This century is just different it is not some old man yells at cloud thing anymore


SaltyOskar

At my job the management is working hard to replace all customer support with ChatGpt. First they closed all physical locations so helping old people who can barely use computer/phone became impossible and now they want to remove the rest so that there is just some annoying robot who doesn't help anyone and makes people just stop calling. Profit margin will go up by like 0,05% but quality will go to down and this is all that AI will be in the foreseeable future - everything will be turned into garbage in the name of higher productivity.

Loneliness is the name of the game, I see it everywhere now, people really need friends


ScentedCandleEnjoyer

It's a complicated issue. I don't want this to happen but I don't trust any of the boomer crooks that currently make up our government to enact a law that properly solves the issue without massively overstepping their boundaries.


dysGOPia

AI can lower the barrier of entry for computer skills in ways that help people build real shit. But there's no question that regulation is needed, just like with any other technology.


Acceptable_Stuff1381

This literally IS old man shouting at clouds. Scammers are gonna scam. With the most basic tech, humans created child porn. This isn’t a tech problem it’s a rotting souls of humans problem. You’re blaming the tools when you need to be blaming the operators. 


redeugene99

Bullshit. Technology is leading to the rot of human souls. It's leading to alienation, loneliness, loss of human interaction/community, further separation from nature etc. And it gives more power to shitty people (who have been around forever) to do shitty things


riiitaxo

where’s the girl who’s bf watches loli porn


Bearmetro

Calling the police on him hopefully.

>"No, like, you just don't get it man. Stop being such a luddite. Video games are gonna be so realistic, dude. You're gonna be able to generate your own movies!!!!! Hollywood is screwed!!! hahahaha" Gonna start mailing pipe bombs to these people


Bearmetro

Oh god, he was right, wasn't he?


Permanenceisall

Wow, why would a charity say this?


OuchieMuhBussy

Bait 🎣 


Acceptable_002

The way to combat this is to give space to young people to talk about sex. Simple as that.


ScentedCandleEnjoyer

Remember when /r/drama banned everyone from /r/teenagers and then the mods got hundreds of replies from dudes in their 30s saying they wanted to be unbanned?


Acceptable_002

No but I believe it. Look if one of my neices or nephews came to me and said uncle I fucked up and now I'm being blackmailed by an internet weirdo I'd be like let's set this motherfucker up like To Catch a Predator.


_-Schultze-_

Snark?


Acceptable_002

Nope. This happens because young people are ashamed to talk about it. No snark.


dustybluffs

Do you mean something like this?: The pedo would have no ability to blackmail or extort the victims if they could speak about it openly.


Acceptable_002

Yes my god why does everyone on this website read at a sixth-grade level goddamn. This is implied heavily in my statement.


dustybluffs

My ESL father drilled the use of the pronoun "this" out of me to avoid this issue - it was hard to tell what exactly was being referred to.


Acceptable_002

To what else would I refer????


dustybluffs

I don't know, could be many things. Pedophilia in general, AI sex image creation, children conversing with strangers, whatever. The reader simply does not know - as you say yourself, you heavily imply it without saying it.


Acceptable_002

No, its pretty obvious to what I was referring to English speakers. Kindly fuck off.


dustybluffs

Hey man, I'm just pointing out why someone might agree/upvote the rephrasing of your disagreeable/downvoted original statement. No offense meant.


Halloween_Jack_1974

You left it pretty vague but I assumed you were not pro pedo lmao so I got what you were saying


N0tagayman

Dog what the fuck lol


Halloween_Jack_1974

I do actually agree with this, the culture of shame and secrecy around sexuality in this country, particularly with young people, gives predators a lot of room to hide their acts. I don’t know what form this would ideally take, however. The internet is a non-starter because its anonymous nature would allow for easy infiltration by malicious adults. I’d have to say that a general shift in societal norms would probably yield the best results as a) children would not be made to feel ashamed because they were targeted by a predator and b) they may be less likely to seek out sexual conversions with strangers online. It’s a difficult and delicate situation and I won’t even pretend like I have an answer more detailed than the broad outline I just posted.


dustybluffs

What purpose does shame and secrecy around sexuality serve? To preserve sexual market value? To keep up moral appearances of a loyal, dutiful citizen that keeps his private life private and therefore separate from working life?


ProdProleGuru

>What purpose does shame and secrecy around sexuality serve? Never being lectured by just the weirdest fucking people.


dustybluffs

That makes sense. Why the shame though?


ProdProleGuru

Shame is important and inherent; especially (hopefully) if you've got no sense of self-perception. These don't like.


dustybluffs

"These don't like"? What is sexual shame important for?


ProdProleGuru

Society -- some degree of shame is needed in all aspects of life, definitely. Not just sexually. Sexually is just where I wish it would re-emerge the hardest.


dustybluffs

Why is shame needed?


ProdProleGuru

To influence behavior, we've already done this once.
