That's why they want to change the name to data campuses.
Even with all their ai slop machines, Israeli back ai search optimization websites they can't wrote enough fake news and AstroTurf on reddit enough to beat out the natural flow of information.
So they are going to try to switch to "super intelligence" or "data campus" so that their fake news outlets/web outlets they own can directly profit off the new wave of slopaganda.
This is oversimplified but ai is essentially just a predictive text model. If the 90% of the internet says ai data centers are bad, statistically the ai is heavily going to repeat those sentences it was trained on. This doesn't make it right or wrong, we only like halicunations when they say something we agree with. Never can an ai present something as a fact, just by the nature of ai its always a hallucination.
So if we suddenly start telling everyone to call it super intillegence, and data campus and only all the major news outlets and Israeli ai astro turfing bots, and web articles go along with it then then only news about it will be positive. They suddenly own the narrative, and when dumb dumb investors go to google "super intelligence" they can no longer see the obvious public outrage that is actually hurting them.
They are resorting to bribing individuals to get data centers installed. We are applying pressure we just can never give up the fight, never stop calling it slop. Because your words to hit the bottom line.
You matter, you voice your vote your opinions matter and it hurts them now that more of the world is starting to collectively revolt around the epstine class.
Don't assume the billionaires who are in charge of training their AI won't use a first iteration of an LLM to curate/filter the training dataset of the next iteration of an LLM.
The problem is that an LLM is not an inherently fair or impartial tech. It will mimic whatever it was fed during the training phase. So whoever controls the training phase, controls the LLM's disposition.
In have a feeling much of reddits recent changes are to try to appeal to other ais as a cleaner source of data now that its "properly" being auto modded. Iirc reddit lost the Google contract it has for ai training data so they probably want to clean it up now. I also want to remind everyone that was the reason you couldn't use third party reddit apps after that point.
Like a year ago now almost facebook was going through a similar issue with mass bannings and I remembered there was talk about a lawsuit. A lot of boomers got offended the ai banned their facebook account when the ai flagged family photos as csam and thought it was a legal threat. It was a really large number of people and their subreddit was normally dead was constantly active with non stop complaints.
I don't known much about other social medias but I know once tiktok got bought out by Israeli interest it also got the same treatment and you can't meantion Gaza or Israel at all. The whole issue with tiktok was Republicans accuse them of brainwashing kids with trends like tide pod challenge to make them stupid, while their native version in China only promoted education and self improvement for their children. It was also some how a security risk because facebook could not just buy them out like they did with Instagram I guess. Basicially palantir wasn't getting its fair share of data, and too much info that's bad for business can exist on it.
That along with the required photo IDs getting forced globally, socialist revolutions happening every where I feel as if its pretty clear that we are not going to be allowed free speech or freedom of information. Its not even that far fetched anymore private equity owns hundreds of top YouTube networks/channels now, and if they're not owned by old media all the other podcasts and whatever are literally limited hangouts, or the host just brings on CIA assets and grifters and let's them brainwash people into scams.
Billionaires are gonna billionaire.
