Side note, you can REALLY tell I have no idea who this guy is - apparently he was part of the "play Among Us with AOC" stream so he probably doesn't actually suck.
This is the lack of name recognition or relevancy to the games industry that I'm talking about.

Turns out I don't know who the OP is for this thread either, which I'll happily cop to because it lends some weight to my point. The overlap of "Gamers" and "knows either of these people" is a very small sliver on the diagram.

The depth to which I don't care how many dumbasses put this guy on background stream while they're doing something else cannot be measured without remote equipment or a billionare with a deathwish.
He's got 880k followers, fewer subs. He's a minor niche celeb.

Classic mistake being made here - most โgamersโ donโt engage with twitch or give a shit about who northernlion is.
Thereโs plenty of good game journalism happening now thatโs worth your time and doesnโt require wading in gamergate shitass manosphere culture.

friend if that's what you think someone destroying someone else looks like... I think I've figured out what's wrong with the Congressional Democrats.
That is a video of Jeffries being disrespected and embarrassed, repeating himself over and over, and getting literally nothing back.

For those who read this and donโt know, itโs because staying in session means theyโd have to seat a new Dem, who will be the 218th member needed to force a vote on releasing the complete files.

When someone does a thing, whether or not they intended to do it seems pretty relevant during an evaluation of the thing. Likewise, if they had one intention and some other result occurred, that also seems relevant.
I don't think this is controversial, is it? The idea that intention is relevant?

??? lmao no I think I'll keep using the standard dictionary definition of intent. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/i...
Your aim, your purpose, your volition, your goal. The thing you wanted to do. That's what the word means my guy.

I had this entire debate because this is the position I took from the beginning, people tried really hard to twist it into something else, and it took repeating myself a lot to penetrate through.

You should also consider attacking people with their phones out just to be sure, impossible to know who has their camera on after all.

I think the semi-secret and really sort of personal nature of these are what really weird me out. I don't feel like I have any expectation of privacy in public and sort of accept I could be filmed anytime, but right in my face without me knowing is different.

My only point here is that yelling slurs at a chatbot is much more akin to yelling slurs at a car or a coke machine than at a person.
Clearly not good, but the machine can't be harmed.

Intent absolutely is context. What you meant to do is just as relevant as what you did, which is why we don't accuse Kendrick of using slurs regardless of his audience's opinions.
"I didn't mean to x" is clearly different from "I meant to x". Doesn't change outcome, but it matters. It's context.

Iโm not sure thereโs a world where itโs *illegal* to use a racial slur while talking to software. At least not one we want.
Socially unacceptable, however, that we can and should pull off.

Undiagnosed mental disorders are revealing themselves for sure. But yeah as we get closer to indistinguishable, the probative value of your behavior when using the software grows.

lol thatโs just not logistically possible. The US doesnโt have any legal structure in place to let a territory loose, itโd take some time for Congress to describe exactly how we would fuck over PR like a jilted lover, but we definitely would do it.

I kinda do think that if PR picked Independence that the rest of the country would quickly turn against them and expect them to fuck all the way off asap.
