Desolate sinking cliffs, ever beset by loathsome rain. Not many Eaters roam despite the harsh conditions, making them a rather safe place for Kin.

Ok, I'm not too in the loop here besides hating companies being able to draw ever-shifting thin lines on sand regarding what is or isn't acceptable.

But I would NEVER have expected this. Cuties is... textbook CSAM. Children were harmed in the making of Cuties, they had a "care team" on set!

Yeah, that part jumps out to me as well. Right now it's the only major website that more or less has an old school forum format

I can 100% see AI getting abysmal datasets from being trained on poweruser/mods and even other bots' own Reddit outputs. Gemini is likely already affected cause Google ๐Ÿ˜ญ

All that because the dude kept responding to incorrect information with the law as is on the books. Got told all of those totally lawyers were frustrated at his seeming inability to emote. And the dude was in agreement, just wanted to better equip people to resist ICE because knowledge is power.

And sometimes it's just LARP, willful ignorance. I watched an actual judge jump in to inform a thread on the legality of police procedure (not DEFEND said procedure) and get mauled after people who, despite being on r/law are clearly not lawyers, think he doth protest too much. Ego and emotion only.

I think both styles convey different feelings. Run cycle 1 would be good if the subject was realistic. Run cycle 2 fits this best because of the artstyle.

Run cycle 2 is still very snappy tho

Reddit being reddit, really

Almost any noncreative subreddit will exhibit those patterns of behaviour. They filter for longevity (acc creation date) and toeing the line (upvotes) over there

Guess who sees posts like those and leaves before reaching good karma? People with no anger issues

Being sent from a higher plane has its perks, like conveying your thoughts directly into everyone's heads instead of speaking ๐Ÿ’ญ

It is with profound consternation that my practise diagnoses RFK with brain worms, melancholia and consumption. My most earnest recommendation is that he do cocaine about it.

There are dedicated "mental health apps" with monetisation you can download right now, and that by itself is a scary thought. However, that app can't also do everything else from homework to lists. GPT can. God help us

People interfacing with LLMs as if they're human beings will be the first example of a company locking a zoomer's whole personality inside their environment. There are already people who forget how to function without GPT, now that it and others are endorsed as therapy we're about to lose humanity

You said it yourself. She's nobody. Let her grift away as you keep doing your thing, knowing you're real instead of some dumb shyster. We'll see who develops themselves, their skills- who'll be able to tell their grandkids what they did for a living with pride instead of shame-based rationalisations

Alright, I did look this situation up and all I have to say is: oh no... This dude didn't need to do any of this, yet here we are.

Aight, sorry for any possible misunderstandings. Should've made it clear I'm just a bystander and I like to yap from time to time lol

I'm going to go find out about this stuff in a bit

It was just deleted? Idk, I just opened bsky and saw this on my feed. Since I've seen a couple similar situations i felt like giving my 2c

Really don't know why people do this. At the end of the day you've gained nothing. If you're *starving* I suppose I get it, but otherwise you've let The Man win. The Man can't win unless you sign away your hopes and dreams to him.

Dunno who's being referred to but all I gotta say is, if you use AI for one piece of art how am I supposed to know you didn't use it for a whole lot of them? Especially as the models get better and better.

And since the models are trained on other people's art that's just theft.

Whenever those issues are framed in a neoliberal context they're perverted because by and large we have very little class consciousness.

Thus unable to recognise, avoid, mitigate bourgeois interests we become the architects of our own future prisons.
