  • AI FARMING. WHAT DID YOU LOOK LIKE IN THE 90S

    From MRO@VERT/BBSESINF to All on Sun Mar 22 23:58:32 2026
    So there's this new thing that's happening on social media.
    People with a lot of followers are posting videos "mom what did you look like in the 90s'. Celebs are even doing it.

    People are saying it's for Ai to farm data so they can do facial recognition And age progression. I'm sure it's happening someplace.

    yep.. people are basically "working" for free in various ways now on social media. doing surveys, telling their parents eye colors and hair colors and other things to say "hey look how i turned out!" .. they have to make the census compulsory because people hate doing bullshit for free and then they give away all sorts of stuff online..

    same with discord.. which is likely the source of an AI model for guessing people's ages based on how they talk, what about, their interests, etc. and you can pretty much guarantee it also has a nice little graph about whether people "think incorrectly" ..

    even on here, likely owing to the prevalence of that sync web interface, any link i post is immediately scraped by AI .. which obviously means the whole message was.. they all were.

    ah well..

    Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to kill you.
