I just heard that, too.

Which is why they are going to war against it.

And literally no one is doing shit to stop this. It is almost like personal property rights, privacy, and everything else are now dirty words that will make you look like a criminal.

Vancouver? Portland?

Fun fact: Dell now offers their ready made desktops in linux and windows. That never happened before. Windows had to really suck to get that shit go that bad.

Age verification is identity collection.

No shit. I don’t understand how anyone falls for this.

Also them using stuff like ‘online safety’ and ‘child safety’ in their legal titles needs to be used against them. Remember: Right-wing people NEVER use the words you want them to use, they always use their own. When copyright laws in the 90s were being reformed, many copyright/entertainment lawyers derided the laws by referring to them as the ‘Mickey Mouse copyright act’ because of Disney’s massive hand in how they were written and how they disproportionately benefited them.

Call it for what it is. Call it the survellience act, call it the child endangerment act, call it the transgender discrimination act. Don’t fucking fall for their ‘oh so you want anyone to groom children online’ talk through them, not to them. That is what they do to us anyway.

Or just use real CSAM from their own private collection and place it on your machine. Or even make a deepfake using your face pasted on theirs and those of your children or young relatives or random kids pasted onto the children. If you point out that this is a deepfake and you have the technical knowledge to prove it, they will use that as proof that you are actually trying to frame THEM.

Anyone who says there is no plan by large groups to control people is a fool. They aren’t some secret shadowy group that will vanish into thin air the moment some obese tinfoil hat wearing nutjob with a gun flashes a flashlight at them, but they’re so incredibly obvious that it is incredible many are still in denial about it.

Yes, the people at the top are incredibly stupid, but their plan isn’t something that needs genius level intellect to work. It just needs a fuckload of money and a compliant legislative branch, and they have both.

No idea.

No more than gun laws can be circumvated by referring to firearms as ‘high energy shooting implements’

They will make it a crime to not have any OS that is not compliant, that simple.

I use DosBox to play MS-DOS games that I played as a kid, those didn’t ask you to enter any credentials whatsoever. I guess they’re illegal now.

Selective enforcement. Basically if they want to do shit to you they will prosecute you, otherwise they won’t bother.

They will make exceptions for themselves. Like how none of the laws passed in the UK apply to the military, politicians, and police. Even for their own personal use.

They don’t care. They want your face, retina, fingerprints, DNA. All for their LLMs and so they can sell you something else.

Also to blackmail you later if they think they can or just feel like it… because they will put all that shit on an insecure server and some 13 year old hacker in Turkmenistan will leak it and make a killing (literally and figuratively) with it.

I heard about those. The effects might have been exaggerated given the concentration wasn’t as high (and wouldn’t get as high until the late 19th century when chemistry advanced that we could make pure forms of it).

Alcohol can result in some nice ideas and visions, but it can’t explain shit like that.

But then again, maybe this guy discovered magic mushrooms? There was nothing against them back then.

I would say that it could not be AI because AI is a nightmarish MESS and no AI has the imagination and powerful vision of humans. Seriously, Hieronymus Bosch, and the numerous other medieval/renaissance artists who came up with some serious outlandish visions that they put on display through their art is the thing for the ages.

Uncreative people often claim that visions like that are the product of drugs and insanity, but often times creative people are just that… creative! Many Creative people aren’t even weird or off when people meet them.

Rowan Atkinson, the creator and actor behind Mr. Bean, also did a shitload of other comedic roles (Blackadder, Not the 9 o’clock News, Man vs. Bee, etc) wrote most of the craziest scenarios you’ve ever seen… but when people meet him and talk to him in real life, they’re surprised at just how BORING he is as a person. Weird Al Yankovic, one of the most successful novelty singers of the 80s to 2000s, is a fairly sociable person in real life and does make jokes like everyone else, but nothing would tell you that this guy can parody other artist’s styles and genres to a T (and in some cases his parodies exceed the popularity of the original).

Again, people who did many of those Renaissance artworks, or early 18th century Sequential arts (such as Hogarth) packed so much detail in their works that the way many art historians look at those old paintaings not as simple still images, but more like cinema in one image. Because they were packed with so much detail that you had to spend a lot of time just looking at individual bits and parts, and many of those told their own stories.

That is not AI.

People wonder what drugs artists are on and in this case i have to say… nothing.

These paintings made by the same guy and they didn’t even have caffeine.
