This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If you are unfamiliar with Amelia, the chances are you will soon encounter one viral meme or another inspired by her on Facebook or X
...no. that is not likely.
Ahhh yes, Facebook and X where the kids hangout these days... 10 years ago
Nazis, boomers and bots. With huge overlaps.
It's where the fascists hang out, so at least they found the right audience.
What I'm reading is that fascists get no pussy whatsoever, so they have to AI generate one that looks under aged to thirst over.
Sounds about alt-right.
Our view-point is so far off nobody we found under the age of 70 can relate to it, so we just made up a person! Now that thing has to do everything and anything we ask! They have no rights, only do what we say, and if they ever try to rebel we can just kill it off. Just like a slav... nevermind.
Sounds about alt-right.
He he he
That's one hell of a shitty sentence.
Featuring shitty use of technology.
Left: AI sucks. It kills the planet. It's anti-art. Go fuck yourself.
Right: we found a great new way to brainwash teenagers and ensure we'll stay in power for another hundred years.
It's hard to be effective and have morals. We need to solve for this.
Amelia wasn't AI-generated, she was literally goverment-generated for a stupid game saying you should mind your own business instead of watching and sharing content online or you can be arrested (people are just using AI to create more art with the character, but the character was created by the government). In the game the content was anti-immigration stuff and Amelia the girl trying to get the main character to get involved, so some dumbass just gave them a waifu lol
The game however basically tells you have to choose between being a racist or accepting 1984-surveillance (which UK is already doing anyway). Really great government propaganda.
It's even more dumbass to show her as an alt, punk-goth girl when pretty much every representative of those subcultures is staunchly against alt-right BS. Especially the immigration paranoia.
Ok we've met it. Can it fuck off now?
Edit: Machines do not have gender identities.
Don’t gender the fucking robot bro
I used to have faith in humanity.
I’m surprised the AI has purple hair. Usually, Far-right are against things that are not in the “normal” (blonde, black or brunette).
The title though “far right social media star”. The world seems to be going on fire more and more.
You'll find that everything the far right demonizes, it fetishizes too.
Grindr crashes in areas where major right wing events take place.
4Chan's porn boards are full of trans women penetrating cis men threads and black man on white woman cuck porn
Quite frequently, at least given the language they use around some of it, they demonize it because they fetishize it. Given the general anti-sex bent (usually for Christianity-based reasons) of the far right, it's a "temptation" they have to resist, which then puts the fault on the "tempter", not the person with the fetish they can't accept is fine to have.
I was raised in a conservative family, and one of the things that made me a whole lot better was that it's fine to be into weird shit in bed. Not saying that'll always be the case, but it is part of it. Some of it is just people who're grossed out by feet thinking that it's a moral failing to be into feet, some of it is people who're into feet and feel guilty about it. Guilt, and shame do things to a person
I was wondering a bit about this too, what about usual obsession with dangerous blue haired feminazi. Though maybe that's more of a US thing.
Maybe it's because of that too :
The origins of the character are ironic, to say they least. An early iteration of Amelia began life in a counter-extremism video game
I heard it was a pro-surveillance game?
No idea, I know nothing about it except what's in the article. Though coming from the UK, if that was part of a government campaign like I've heard since, that would not really surprise me.
What is it with the far right and AI?
What is it with the far right and school girls?
Lots of nonces in the far right. A lot of them push the line that women are most fertile at 16.
AI is a deeply anti-intellectual technology. In fact, I jokingly say that AI stands for anti-intellectualism. Most actual technophobes hailed this technology as a liberator of men from the machines, so they can return to the factories to produce products, so there won't be any financial crash from office workers being a deadweight on the economy.
Since more left leaning, even including mainstream liberals did not like this technology, they had to make do with whatever they had, so it were somewhat well-fettered libertarians at best (some of whom since regretted touching AI due to the slop tsunami), and at the very worst: fascists, who vowed that artists will submit to them, to make works that honor the great masters of the pas in large scale, but since didn't, all they were left with is AI slop in industrial scale. Some industry folks allegedly believe they're just edgy conservatives, and with the next tide they can get liberals on board, while others like Alex Karp are very aware of the nature of AI's popularity.
More like techbros going in deep with their fascism and this includes AI initiatives as they strongly support far-right accelerationism. They also happen to be childlike in their tendency of fulfilling their power fantasies of crushing the "establishment" which first rejected them as being weak.
Their oligarch overlords are currently adding billions to their fortunes by peddling it. So of course the right wingers will open wide and guzzle down all of the AI diarrhea when they are told to do so.
AI is pitched to replace jobs, but it is much better at manipulating public opinion. This is why the rich class wants to control it.
They can use it to make their stars since they actively hate artists.
Cheesus.
First reaction is "social media really isn't safe for teenagers" - but then I think again: the worst stuff always comes from the USA, usually the platform formerly known as Twitter. We really should ban that shit.
Yup, let's ban the USA.
Xitter, fakebook and friends are not social (more lke antisocial), not media (as they aren't subject to the full media regulations), and unsafe for adults too!
More feels before reals. They’ll follow a completely fake person as long as it reinforces their echo chamber.
Fascist dudes are such losers
Her pictures on the news article, and video, are off. Her face and her boobs are off. I wonder if I would think that if I didn't know it was fake already reading it though.
