WKMG Chief Meteorologist Candace Campos tried to post a reel about the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecast for the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season. Instead, the post was removed.
Real intelligence is so 2024!

And has done it to many and fucked their businesses over with no customer service and no access to contact anyone yet meta keeps charging their accounts while they have waited months for a response. The news channel also tried to contact them and they are still waiting too.

(104,554 posts)She requested a review; the automated reply said they'd respond "soon"; they still haven't. It seems to be AI making crappy decisions, and Meta doesn't employ enough humans to check or review the results (many others have similar experiences).
Whether it's just crappy tech, or if they've tweaked their AI to suck up to climate change denier Trump, who knows? They've decided they don't need to reply.

Meanwhile, some basement-dweller could co-opt her image and voice to create a naughty and/or subservient bot, which would probably fly below the AI radar.
social media is a scourge

(28,954 posts)people thought I had already slid into some cyber hole because I availed myself of the tools I had available, locating files by incredibly byzantine and time-consuming means, establishing connections with researchers around the world, and exploring a new frontier. As time passed and social media platforms gained popularity, I was appalled at how much commercialism had corrupted it. I deleted it all eventually, keeping only a mere whisp of an online presence so I dont miss birthdays.

I guess DeSatan wants them dead: no warnings, no vaccines, no FEMA, just die. I guess the National Guard will roll by calling out, "Bring out your dead!"
