No, traffic for reddit, even negative traffic, is still traffic. They are only doing this to draw people further into the walled garden

Most don’t even copy it to clipboard, they’ll inject it to the dom directly

Best answer. Got motherfuckin Daft Punk for that movie. Have never rewatched the movie but listened to the soundtrack hundreds of times

Not just coming back, in a week! (For futurama at least)

All of those the artist knew what they were doing and how their art could be used to inspire new people.

Artists has no way of consenting to thos before it was done. Their art wasn’t taken and used as inspiration for one person, it was taken and is now being mass produced for the masses in some cases.

You’re not sitting in a lecture absorbing what a professor is telling you and filling out an essay question. Your copying someone else’s homework and changing it a little to come off as okay. In private and for private use I’m okay with that, but these big studios and content creators have no right to do that to artists. There’s no way they could have consented to that.

This is my problem. The tech itself is fine, no one is arguing about training data and making art from trained data.

But the source of all of that data was ripped without artists consent. They did not agree to take part in this. (And no, I don’t think clicking “I Accept” 15 years ago on DeviantArt should count, we had no concept of this back then). Then on top of that people are profiting off of the stolen art.

Yeah, but one went to school to learn how to hone their skills and learn from the masters, the other stole it off of artists who will never see a dime off of it.

Don’t get me wrong, I have fun with AI art, but the moral question that hasn’t been solved yet

It depends on the context for me. As a meme base or to make a joke and you don’t have the skills? Sure. In an art community? No.

Yep, Google decided it was too complicated and removed it all. Dont know how it was too complicated, people just wouldn’t use it if they didn’t know about it. They felt “natural language” would be more useful. Bullshit, I search for “foo and bar” it’ll return me results for foo and ignore the rest

TikTok and them just fuel each other to create fake fomo and it’s so crappy. They target kids so hard and take advantage of them wanting to fit in, and get them to just spend money on crap they didn’t need to buy anyway. Not to mention they’ve pushed fashion cycles to be faster to make people think that top they bought 2 months ago is useless and should be thrown out.

Capitalism in a nutshell. “Yeah it kills the planet and harms others and there may be forced labor involved, but idc, that’s other people’s problems”.

Not guilt tripping btw, just stating facts. I don’t and won’t buy for them.

Temu is just driving the social media impulse “buy buy buy you need it buy it now!!” Culture when in reality their stuff is crap, and even for the cheap prices… You probably weren’t going to buy it anyway. They are really striving in being a shitty company that’s bad for us and the planet.

Good video here that explains more of how they’re just manipulating us to buy more: https://youtu.be/7hGD5Cz_now

Yup, they think they’re motivating us but anyone who has worked food service/retail knows that just demoralizes the fuck out of us. It’s rare enough when a customer actually fills out a slightly positive review, they gotta rip apart even the good ones.

and corporate knows that’s how people think and still grade their employees on it because “you obviously could have done more”. I had one that was “Well the only perfect person was Jesus so you can’t get a 10/10”. Okay but we’re not grading Jesus here Erma, you’re grading me, and my boss isn’t going to listen to that

Satisfactory. I’m well past 1,500 hours.

The factory must grow

It’s all that BS corpo jargon. “Give 110%”, “Do better than your best”. Right, but we’re human beings, no one can be perfect all the time. They don’t care, they have you boiled down to a number.

I did retail for 10 years and I’m damn happy to be done with it. Every time I get a survey though I know in my head what corporate is doing to these people, and I try my damnest to let people know how to actually let their voices be heard.

Leave product reviews, reviews on Google, social media, hell talk to the media, those will all reflect the product itself. But those reviews they send you, those are for human beings just trying to scrape by.

Yup. This all boils down to NPS.

NPS is that 1-10 star system they use. No matter what you think it means, like 5 being average or 8 being good, it doesn’t matter. NPS and companies use it as:

• 1-6 - “Detractor” - the employee was absolute shit and should be reprimanded
• 7-8 - “Passive” - the employee did not go above and beyond
• 9-10 - “Promoter” - the employee did okay

Raises are usually 3-5% only if your NPS average is above 9.

That is it, it does not mean what you think it means, that is how corporate views it. 10/10 does not mean they went above and beyond and I had the best experience, because to corporate 10/10 “iS HoW EvErY cUsToMeR ShOuLd fEeL” even though we all know that’s impossible. If it’s not 10/10 then they did a shit job.

Also note NPS does NOT mean if your issue was solved or how the company is doing. It is purely how you rate that specific human being. Anything against the company the managers will put directly on that person’s head. Literal conversation with my manager went “but they’re just mad that they didn’t get free product”, “well you should have turned that around to make it a 10/10 experience”

For example, if you call Comcast because they added a new fee to your account and you get “Terry” on the phone, she’ll probably tell you there is nothing she can do (because they give her zero power to do anything about it) and that she’s sorry for the experience. This is probably her job, to talk to angry customers, her job is to soothe you over, not to give away money. So you get the survey after the fact and you give them all 1/10 stars because you’re mad at Comcast, and rightfully so. Except you weren’t rating Comcast, you were rating Terry, and that will come up on her review that she didn’t perform her job well enough because you were still angry. Terry won’t be getting a raise this year, and you’ll still have your fees.

Example 2, you go into Best Buy and you are just looking for a simple cable, say a phone charger or something. “Paul” comes over and you’re like “Oh I just need a USB-C charger” and he’s like sure thing, right here, and you’re like great! He helps you check out even. Best Buy sends a survey and you’re like eh what the hell, 7/10, it was a pretty good experience. Wrong, Paul is talked to by his manager in his review on “Why didn’t this customer leave feeling like a 10/10?”, “Paul, we need to talk to you about why you aren’t meeting our customer satisfaction targets.”

Oh and the comments? No one who can do anything will read them. They’ll only be used come review time, and positive ones will be skimmed while negative ones will be picked apart.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk and reading this far. tldr - those surveys are more nefarious than you think, and corporate big wigs think they have all of us summed up in a 10 star system.
