Showerthoughts

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

AI companies don't see normal people at all. They're too busy worrying about keeping the scheme rolling or trying to birth the digital god they think will give their life meaning.

Revelation 13:15-17

And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

This is always a fun game when the next scary trend rolls in. Ok, so: "... image of the beast might even speak... " could just be the LLM console interface, but LLMs don't really have an "image" so... tenuous.

"... causes all... to be marked..." Could refer to having "AI" in your resume/CV.

"... on the right hand... " gonna go with mouse RSI from typing less in IDEs and mousing around more.

"...and on the forehead..." since you're thinking less your brow will spend less time furrowed, so like a botox injection between your eyebrows.

"... no one can buy or sell without the mark..." Would be market paralysis waiting to see if the bubble will pop, but AI stans don't fret.

That's pretty funny

"Image" I take to be the AI itself if true. The reason is:

Man is made in God's image

GenAI is trained on man's outputs, etc. It is literally made in the image of man (this is a strong theological argument against allowing AI to generate sacred content or giving it human rights in general)

The first beast has a wound, this has been ascribed to Donald trump

The second beast could be Elon Musk with his image being Grok

I'm not saying that Trump is THE antichrist, but he is certainly AN antichrist, and these patterns could appear (prophecies can be fulfilled multiple times before they are finally fully fulfilled)
