Incriminating how. Are you gonna tell me the guy made google searches for CSAM after installing TOR. For a supposedly tech-savvy guy that doesn’t make any sense.

So we’re at the stage where AI generated images are completely indistinguishable from real ones so long as you add a bit of graininess to it. Lovely, wonder how long that’s been the case…

Turn up the volume on your fake sci-fi engine sound composed by Hans Zimmer.

Only reason it’s so jarring is the context has people parsing the whole list as language and they weren’t expecting to have to abruptly parse a mathematical expression.

My dog is very cat-like in that she enjoys her personal space. She also enjoys your personal space, and will abruptly invade it when she feels like, just don’t think that gives you permission to do the same to her lol.

Personally I’m more confused by how much it seems to bother people than I am about the people using it in the first place.

Chill with the fedposting. You know you’re not actually anonymous here, right? You’re putting yourself at risk. People have had the FBI knocking on their door for less.

We’re all criminals one way or another, some of us get away with it and others don’t. If I were a corrupt cop fishing for a reason to throw you in a cell I’d find one in short order.

I did this after my first girlfriend broke up with me… in middle school. This is insecure adolescent boy behavior, anyone doing this kind of thing as an adult is maladjusted.

What is he forcing? Are you forced to read his comments, engage with his posts? Is the thorn being beamed into people’s skulls like the Futurama dream ads?

Y’all are just occasionally happening upon a character you’re not familiar with being used in a way you’re not used to and you’re annoyed at being challenged a bit every now and then. He’s not “forcing” anything.

Again, it’s not a huge deal in this case, but this same logic applied to something more serious can be dangerous. It’s the same logic conservatives and “centrists” (embarassed conservatives) use to complain about queer people “forcing” their “lifestyle” everywhere. They’re just annoyed at having to acknowledge their existence.

Thorn guy: exists

You: He’s forcing his new alphabet on me

This logic seem familiar to you?

Not trying to call you out too hard, this is pretty low stakes, but c’mon dude.

Wouldn’t it be better to just make that information available on request? Make it known that they can retrieve that information at any time, but they don’t have to if they prefer not to know.

I haven’t heard of anyone who isn’t famous suffering from long covid to this extreme.

Gee, I wonder why you might be more likely to hear about a famous person with a rare condition than a random stranger with a rare condition. It’s a real enigma!

But bad systems create the incentives. Chalking it up to “bad people doing bad things” is a shallow analysis that does nothing to address the underlying problem. If you replaced all the “bad people” with “good people” you would see the same problems re-emerge due to the perverse incentives created by the profit motive.

That’s their right

Have I discovered a rare pro-capitalist user of lemmy.ml?

Even if it were the case that they didn’t want to be there, “just following orders” is not an acceptable excuse for committing a genocide. The morally correct thing to do if you’re compelled to service in the IDF is to refuse and face the consequences, because they cannot be worse than the moral injury of being tasked with the murder of innocent children.

I think part of it is that a lot of straight people who are allies but not as familiar with the queer community feel strange about using the word queer, thinking that it’s a reclaimed slur that they wouldn’t be allowed to say if they aren’t themselves queer. They don’t realize that the queer community has collectively decided that no “pass” is needed for the word queer.

If NYC uses ranked choice voting in the general as well and Cuomo learns from his disaster of a campaign then he might try coalition-building with Eric Adams or others to pull off a win by getting neoliberals and MAGA to gang up on Zohran. It’s a headscratcher for me because I never expect neoliberals to learn from their mistakes, and yet they might actually feel forced to because they never fail to pull out all the stops against progressives, let alone an actual socialist.

There was a spate of news articles recently about AI feeding people’s delusions to the point that they start thinking they’re the chosen one, emphasising that it was happening to people with no prior history of mental health issues. It was supposedly linked to an update to ChatGPT that made it even more sycophantic than usual.

It’s a mix of sensationalist media and moral panic with just a hint of truth IMO. If people can fall for scams, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theories then they can definitely get pushed off the deep end by an AI saying “yes and” to their every thought.

Capitalists have always repackaged and sold our liberatory art back to us, that isn’t new.

“The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” Is a quote paraphrased from a saying attributed to Lenin.

The writers are genuine in their messaging, the corpos just don’t care. When someone slips a revolutionary message into the stream of “content,” the appropriate thing to do is to consider it, turn off the TV, and act accordingly.
