the AI bros are OUTRAGED and wish to speak to the MANAGER

@davidgerard hide your puppies

@davidgerard That thread has done WONDERS for my blocklist.

[drsbaitso@infosec.exchange]

@davidgerard I feel like folks who are functionally illiterate (that is, unable to interpret text-based communications, even through an accessibility tool like a screen reader) are going to have a bad time on a primarily-text-based social networking site.

@davidgerard also, reading through that thread, someone seems to be projecting

Eugen Rochko (@Gargron@mastodon.social)

@bogosian@infosec.exchange @scottjenson@social.coop I’m not head of Mastodon! Have a good day.

Mastodon (mastodon.social)

[mzdravkov@mastodon.green]

@waitworry @davidgerard the admin of each instance is its king. Hence, Eugen is the king of kings.

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@schrotthaufen @davidgerard the fuck?

can you just @ some famous Mastodon guy and then declare yourself "Product Strategy Advisor to Mastodon Core team"?

Like, yeah, I guess he did advise

[steff@soc.femme.cat]

@davidgerard@circumstances.run Is John Mastodon back posting again?

[delawen@floss.social]

@davidgerard Interestingly, he automatically assumed that "loving puppies" means "hating AI" and "loving AI" means "hating puppies".

If he really thought AI was as cute and good as puppies, his thoughts should have led him the other way around...

[johnefrancis@cosocial.ca]

@steff @davidgerard John Mastodon is a distributed being with a shard of consciousness within each regular Mastodon user.

So yes.

@davidgerard "fedi is an echo chamber!"

Uh.....do you know what an echo chamber is? When everyone hates slop generators almost universally.....sigh....I can't explain things to a rock.....

[drevangowan@fediscience.org]

@davidgerard What is hilarious about this is that AI bros could easily start their own pro-AI Mastodon server, but that would require doing some actual work.

[jennyfluff@chitter.xyz]

@davidgerard everybody knows you need to talk to John Mastodon

[gonzalo@neopaquita.es]

@schrotthaufen @davidgerard he is not a good fit for this position, in case this truly exits.

[steff@soc.femme.cat]

@johnefrancis@cosocial.ca @davidgerard@circumstances.run like the spirit of Christmas?

It was my recollection, that John Mastodon was the all-powerful CEO of Mastodon, Inc. who decided to turn himself into an AI agent, and was immediately defederated. SO say, you can still catch glimpses of his lonely isolated toot in the public times...

[beckermatic@pleroma.arielbecker.com]

@davidgerard Is John Mastodon available?

[johnefrancis@cosocial.ca]

@steff @davidgerard I haven't heard that one, but its hard to keep track or even imagine all the possible outcomes of a distributed, quantum, transcendental being like John Mastodon

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@johnefrancis @steff

[saucerlost@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard
For what it's worth I consider myself the ass of Mastodon

[legit_spaghetti@mastodo.neoliber.al]

@davidgerard "See ya! And try not to kill any puppies on the way out!"

[jdp23@neuromatch.social]

@davidgerard hmm ... I often say that Jimmy Carter was a much better ex-President than President....
