    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.

    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.

    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.

      Bold of you to assume this planet can sustain our societies another hundred years, while being conducted by even more conservative leaders.

        It won’t sustain our societies. It’ll sustain their society, and who counts as a valid part of that society will keep shrinking. One by one they won’t be white enough, or rich enough, or devout enough. Fascism is a game of musical chairs.

    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.

        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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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!

    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.
