I’d say it’s the same as giving kids access to your credit card, only they’re not your kids and they’re dumber than you are.

Baby shark on repeat for 12 hours is the end result of a successful mating call, so I don’t really see the problem here…

Because Republicans vs Democrats has almost reached North Korea vs South Korea status. Republicans want their “democratic” glorious leader and Democrats want profits. And neither care about the people.

Best or worst, aim for No. 1!

From people who have no translation in their own language, yes it is.

Are you still you or is the bed AI taking over?

They’ve rebranded. It’s N.ICE now.

Simple. They get a president to fund and expand their operations.

Me, seeing the raised hair on the arm: “Oh, this must be about calculating the odds of being struck by lightning.”

Reading the comments about tan lines: “Oh…”

Laziness is the way of nature. However, we are rebels, diligently working against our nature.

Arise! Allow no master to control your fate and grasp the means of production!

If we place a tracker on any random person, their route will probably draw them in bed, munching on snacks or splayed on the floor, tired and unwilling to move.

I agree that even if the continent turns into a nuclear wasteland, there will still be people shouting this kind of thing pointlessly into the void.

There’s a thing that was happening in the past. Not sure it’s still happening, due to lack of news about it. It was something called “glamour modeling” I think or an extension of it.

Basically, official/legal photography studios took pictures of child models in swimsuits and revealing clothing, at times in suggestive positions and sold them to interested parties.

Nothing untoward directly happened to the children. They weren’t physically abused. They were treated as regular fashion models. And yet, it’s still csam. Why? Because of the intention behind making those pictures.

The intention to exploit.

I don’t know personally. The admins of the fediverse likely do, considering it’s something they’ve had to deal with from the start. So, they can likely answer much better than I might be able to.

Schools generally means it involves underage individuals, which makes any content using them csam. So in effect, the “AI” companies are generating a ton of csam and nobody is doing anything about it.

Oh, so that’s why Epic’s Easy anticheat keeps having trouble. Microsoft might be using it as a trial run.

Oh so many.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. Current society is flawed as it requires conformity in individuals to serve it when instead it should serve the individual.

The base flaw is authority. It requires the individual to act in a specific way that is consistent with its needs and that will suppress other inclinations. Added to that is nature itself, which doesn’t give a shit about anyone and cares not if any needs are met in any way, at all. Which is further compounded by the simple fact that not every divergence plays well with all the others. So conflict will eventually become unavoidable regardless of the development path.

A complicated part is that not every divergence is good for the individual’s development or survival. So it then becomes a matter of balance in regards to personal freedom in acting as such even though it might be harmful to oneself or others, having the necessary support that allows an individual to make an informed choice on whether to maintain that freedom or suppress it and living with the consequences of the choice and finally, whether to fight against nature’s own form of ruthless culling in order to preserve and develop all the variances that might emerge or allow it to run wild.

It can get very sketchy once you dive into the gritty details and every aspect of the possible ramifications when trying to find a reasonable approach that takes everyone into account.

True. Anger and stress usually lead to a lower life expectancy.

I barely remember this username and I’m looking at it every time I post something.
