For the next big Twitter-killer social media network, our trademark bad idea is that we're not gonna let users enter alt-text:
Instead we're just using an LLM to identify what's in the photo.

@foone instagram already does that for Stories iirc

@foone and the LLM is only trained on pictures of bananas, so it mostly just says “there are no bananas in this picture”.

I suppose that given the absence of consideration for content licensing here, someone will be training ML on our goodwill alt-texts, if they're not already doing it.

@cJ oh they are absolutely doing that and have been for years. It's free training data

@foone You need to think bigger.

The real killer feature is: You won’t have to type any of your own posts, we auto-post for you based on a model we trained on your private messages with friends and family.

@foone apt-text ? Is that a CLI tool to download text files?

That's just phase one.
Phase two we protect your identity by taking those descriptions and feeding them into an image-generation AI. So you can't be identified from your selfies with your cat, as you're not technically in them

@foone this makes me think of that YouTuber that would do covers of songs by translating them from English back to English through 5 other languages

@foone Unless they trained the AI on you and/or your cat, which could happen if you were eg Jason Scott or his even more famous cat

@foone but we should go one step further and don't post the picture at all, just the alt text
