@keydelk@fosstodon.org @joachim@boitam.eu There's more to it than that. Has it occurred to you yet that the pushback has become just as irrational as it's hyper promotion? Both sides are depending on emotive appeals that supersede rational analysis. That is not an accidental association. It is in fact the goal. Weaponized LLM's have been deployed to create pockets of mutually adversarial grievances. Primarily but not exclusively China & Russia originated. https://stratcomcoe.org/publications/beyond-spam-bots-the-rise-of-ai-powered-disinformation-machines-and-the-imperative-for-strategic-response/342

@keydelk@fosstodon.org @joachim@boitam.eu The thing about techies is they are typically alphalogicals who believe they can't be manipulated. Which of course means they are among the easiest TO manipulate. They don't tend to score high on EQ indexes, fail routinely at accurately identifying emotive states & triggers in themselves. Making them especially vulnerable to false consensus environments.

@keydelk@fosstodon.org @joachim@boitam.eu You don't have to agree or disagree. But you need be aware that this sort of thing is rampant. One in nine conversations you've had online, on average, in the last six months has been with a synthetic identity you mistook as human. No blame there. I have too. Just with far less frequency because I know what to be on the lookout for.
