"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Anthropic Exec Forces AI Chatbot on Gay Discord Community, Members Flee (www.404media.co)

A Discord community for gay gamers is in disarray after one of its moderators and an executive at Anthropic forced the company’s AI chatbot on the Discord, despite protests from members.

Users voted to restrict Anthropic's Claude to its own channel, but Jason Clinton, Anthropic’s Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and a moderator in the Discord, overrode them. According to members of this Discord community who spoke with 404 Media on the condition of anonymity, the Discord that was once vibrant is now a ghost town. They blame the chatbot and Clinton’s behavior following its launch.

Not defending them at all here but there’s no compelling reason for most users to change when discord works and it works well

I understand this but it's also a little "There's no compelling reason for us frogs to get out of this water. It's warm and comfortable". It's inevitably going to boil.

But you're right that there aren't great alternatives (that I know of). I think matrix is out there, but I don't know anyone who uses it.

That's also why the analogy exists, if the water slowly comes to boil, the frogs don't realize until it's too late, just like enshittification.

What happens when it's "too late" for your chat software, though?

[–] moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The same thing as Digg I guess.

digg is currently locked down and will return triumphantly with some kind of shit they are planning and itll be very good its invite only my cousin can get me an invite but he said only if I let him peek at my girlfriend while she changes into her swimsuit. I think the new secret digg will be fucking very great I will let him do his peeking its worth it

I get the analogy but it's just chat software. Discord isn't that important to me that it's going to be a tragedy when it boils and by then, there will (hopefully) be an equivalent alternative we can move to. If not, we'll use something "worse" and it'll be fine.

But until then, it's still the best by a wide margin even if it has a stupid nitro button.
