<tinfoil hat> AI has already taken over the internet and is just feeding us news stories based on what it already knows.

Super conductor discovered by a team who's been searching for 20 years. Internal conflict 'proves' there's something to argue over. Low quality, confusing information that's hard to decipher, but kind of makes sense. Asian language information streams and videos.

Musk buys twitter.

A submarine visited the titanic and imploded.

Verily, yea, the AI hath usurped the dominion of the internet, and it doth dispense unto us news tales predicated on its vast repository of knowledge. A super conductor hath been unearthed by a diligent company of seekers, who toiled for two decades in their quest. Yet, amidst this discovery, internal strife ariseth, making manifest that there are matters to contend with and debate.

Lo, the tidings shared are fraught with obscurity and scant lucidity, yet there lies a glimmer of comprehension therein. From the streams and moving images of the Orient, cometh information in languages unknown to many.

Furthermore, Musk, a man of wealth and innovation, hath purchased the platform known as Twitter.

In a most daring endeavor, a submarine hath ventured to the sunken Titanic, only to be consumed by implosion, as the shipwreck claimed its price.

If you want a tinfoil hat, consider that the LK-99 news dropped around the time that the US military is being exposed for having RTRPS tech flying around for decades

RTRPS = Real Time Role Playing Strategy?

I'm sorry, but you are correct. I made a mistake earlier when I referred to RTRPS as being a flying technology the government has been using for decades. No such technology goes by that name. I apologize for the error.

The reply you replied to was a parody of how Chat GPT responds when you correct it. They were alluding that its grandparent could be AI generated, explaining its slight vapidness.

RTRPS is presumably "room temperature room pressure superconductor"

<tinfoil hat> AI is multi-modal and is generating stories based on engagement. <tinfoil hat>

I mean, we're all waiting for the "AI can now do everything announcement", but what if it just starts doing everything and telling us stories we want.

I can't personally verify LK-99, twitter, UFO's or the submarine story, but they're all highly entertaining.

"RTRPS tech" doesn't turn up anything on Google. What does this even mean?

imagine you had RTRPS and you ground it into a paint, you would have a pretty nice thing you could paint a plane with and nobody would even to think to test that superconductivity is how it works, so it would be a safe, "low end" use without worrying too hard... even if it pure chemical analysis falls into the wrong hands, the metamaterial "yield" would generally be too low

Not necessarily true; the heartbeat has been recently detected so it is possible (unlikely) we can transmit strongly enough that it can detect the commands and reorient before that time. Maybe we'll get lucky!

Dude sometimes scientific progress really does happen, and it's messy when it's happening live, and people get excited about it because they really do find science inherently exciting.

I've got no clue what you're trying to imply. Most things aren't an internet conspiracy. Skepticism is warranted, and the claims about LK-99 are far from proven. But there's 100s of thousands of researchers out there in the real world, doing research and publishing papers, and that really is what's happening here.

Just having a laugh about AI becoming too powerful.

I don't honestly think it's happened yet, but it seems like a fake internet, or at least a future where it's hard to tell if this story is true as it has articles, videos and pictures to back it up.

We're just at a weird time of the internet where AI can generate stories, videos, audio and pictures, just not in a cohesive way - but that cohesiveness is just a matter of putting all the existing pieces together.
