The B-plot in Ender's Game tells a compelling story of a couple of young adults nefariously posting their way straight into the Presidency. People want to believe this is how real life works so badly. They'll watch a plutocrat elevated by other plutocrats into an office historically held by plutocrats and conclude "Shitposters on the internet did this".

But to be fair Ender's Game was written in 1985, before the modern internet.

I mean with LLM's it's not hard to have an arbitrary amount of bots posing as users pushing a false consensus on political issues.

It's even easier when the bot accounts are used to falsify advertising data.

Shockingly accurate depiction of what bloggers think they're doing

If worked out pretty well for Curtis Yarvin, unfortunately.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

For Theil, maybe. Howard Lutnick, definitely. But Yarvin and CatTurd2 are both just stuck removed on the sidelines.

Surprise anyone who calls themselves a "nice guy" was never actually nice.

They always say shit like "at least I don't hit her" or "at least I'm not an alcoholic" while missing that those qualities are a given.

I think it's a form of narcissism where they can't handle that their personality is shitty so they project it into the world. They have to use outlandish examples because they're not such hot catches themselves.

I've been to The School of Hard knocks, The University of Life, and Facebook jail. Be very afraid

Look, buddy, if you think jerking off while playing Baldur's Gate 3 is "nothing" that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Meanwhile, War Thunder players be leaking classified documents on vehicles to prove that it isn't modeled correctly in-game.

[–] turdcollector69@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Based behavior, they do it for the love of the game and being correct in online arguments.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago

You had me in the first half there.

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 5 points 1 month ago

I mean I'll take a stack of edgelordy over one tumblrina or Blue Skyer.

Wasn't there some famous quote that went something like "the three things to fear are a moonless night, the sea in storm and the wrath of a gentle man"?

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago

You forgot bottom text.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 month ago

isn’t this the better outcome

dressing up in trench coats and shooting up their school is much worse

or attacking a church

at some point when the armed armored squad busts down your door you will miss "the nice guy"

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think its a little early still.
