You cannot really pollute these platforms any more than they already are imo. The AI slop perfectly resonates with the rest of the garbage there, so it shouldn't make a difference.

how are advertisers ok with this?

Accelerating dead internet.

All I can think of is one of Mr. Lovenstein’s comics… we’re finally free now!

I’m so fucking glad I never made a facebook account. Even years ago I saw it as an unnecessary annoyance; I can’t believe how bad it’s gotten since.

Hey Liv! Sup! Jow menee ees and uus in jujubes?

I avoid any multiplayer game that has bots that you can't filter out and you have to play with them not knowing that they're bots. it removes all the font of any game ever

Maybe we should interact with these heavily. Then Facebook can be abandoned.

"The never-born"

The Slopification of everything. Welcome to 2025.

That's the thing about the Age of Information - it's also the Age of Misinformation. The invention of television was hailed as a landmark in worldwide education and bringing people together. Instead it became almost entirely whatever people were willing to sit through ads for to feed their growing addiction to entertainment. The Internet enabled anyone to broadcast whatever quality of content they feel like spewing out. It's really not even intelligent to expect random content to be true without doing any cross-checking, but few people do. Most just happily consume any material they already agree with, like Patrick sucking up SpongeBob's grandma's cookies.

Obviously this is all stupid and you'll find problems anywhere you choose to look.

The problem I'm finding is this, if Facebook truly is betting on AI becoming better as a way to encourage growth then why are they further poisoning their own datasets? Like ok, even if you exclude everything your own bots say from your training data, which you could probably do since you know who they are, this is still encouraging more AI slop on the platform. You don't know how much of the "engagement" your driving (which they are likely just turning around and feeding back into the AI training set) is actually human, AI grifter, or someone poisoning the well by making your AIs talk to themselves. If you actually cared to make your AI better, then you can't use any of the responses to your bots as most of them will be of dubious providence at best.

Personally I'm rooting on the coming Hapsburg-AI issue so I don't really have that much of a problem with Facebook deciding more poison is a brilliant business move. But uh... seems real dumb if your actually interested in having an actually functional LLM.
