  Why is this is n shitpost? Go crosspost this to /comics or /memes or whatever, it’s great.

  So I guess past experience, basically? We’ll see. Political violence is not justifiable, but no one really likes that orange prick except his little goon army so we’ll see how long the sympathy lasts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have become all things to all men⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t necessarily see any proof of this, either. I’m not sure where this narrative is coming from, it’s very strange.

  Oh yeah? It’s great for porn, Goldman Sachs, you bunch of suit wearing degenerates. I bet a lot of people would argue that’s pretty freaking useful.

  This is just not true and courts have rules the opposite of what you’re spewing for ages.

  I thought you were being racist until you said that thing about public transit, so we’re good 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Windows 11 'AI Explorer'? Everything you need to know about Microsoft's upcoming defining AI PC feature (including it always watching you)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Canonical have a long history of making decisions for corporate reasons, then using their popularity to try to force the larger Linux community to adopt their way of doing things.

  Currently, they’re pushing their closed source Snap packs, which are frankly inferior to the open source Flat packs, but it’s just the latest example of their shenanigans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe’s ‘Ethical’ Firefly AI Was Trained on Midjourney Images⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay so that cuts it. Every single AI engine should be open source as they ALL use our collective knowledge. They should be treated like libraries, as publicly owned stores of knowledge for everyone’s use

  I thought maybe Firefly was the one exception, although I suspected some kind of shenanigans. But nope. These corpos stole our collective knowledge and culture and are now ransoming it back to us for profit.

  Try Biotene.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that SLS, an ingredient added to most commercial toothpastes, causes canker sores⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true! In the US, I use Biotene. It’s unfortunately somewhat expensive, (I think I pay around $6/tube), but I will fork it over for no fucking canker sores.

  People learned Chrome. What’s the difference? 80% of folks need to know where the browser button is and that’s about it. The rest of them are savvy enough figure Linux out.

  I’m a little confused. What’s the point of this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She Was Supplementing Her Income⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Look, I’m not going to argue. People are incredibly emotional about this and it’s exhausting. What I’m expressing are not “my ideals.” I don’t give a fuck about stupid sex work. Like, at all. But a lot of people are taking a very adult oriented view on this and not thinking about the kids’ rights to have a safe relationships with adults that are not complicated by sex. Go ahead and down vote and say what you will, my stance is not radical or strange. Being a teacher doesn’t mean you need to live a chaste life, but if something you do outside of school directly affects your students, you should probably consider a different career. Like I said, part of a teacher’s job is “think of the children.” That’s why teaching requires a license, there are ethical standards that need to be followed. It’s definitely not for everyone and that’s why no one is forcing anyone to be a teacher.

  Also, the teacher from the article agrees she cannot do both at once, probably because she understands it’s not an appropriate situation. You all are furious with me, but I’m not really sure who you think you’re white knighting for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She Was Supplementing Her Income⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “Think of the children” is literally what a teacher’s job is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She Was Supplementing Her Income⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well you sure as hell aren’t going to hear any arguments from me on that one. I think that’s the real story, here. That woman was making an embarrassingly small salary for her service. Missourians should be ashamed of themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She Was Supplementing Her Income⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not advocating enforcing any “conservative” ideals. I’m not sure where you all lost sight of the fact we’re talking about children, here. They are not in a place in life where they can make healthy distinctions about sex like you and I can. They should be focused on other kids their own age. If you introduce a sexual angle into the power dynamic of a teacher/student relationship, how on Earth is that going to improve the child’s life in any way? The kids’ lives are what we should be focused on, here, right?

  Anyways, you can get mad all you want at my, frankly, appropriate and reasonable viewpoint here. The teacher herself stated she knows she cannot do both at once. Like, she knows that. She’s not asking for you or anyone else to come gallivanting to her defense because, as a teacher, she understands it’s not appropriate ('cause it’s not).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨She Was Supplementing Her Income⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  She was teaching high school. Those kids would get access to her videos one way or another. Do you honestly feel like that’s a healthy situation for anyone involved? Like, get real. I understand your perspective, and in almost every other profession it would not be a problem, but in real life, you don’t put kids in a situation like that, it’s not okay.

  Oh, okay. Well you should tell IBM that, they’re clearly confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Authors Are Furious After Finding Their Works on List of Books Used To Train AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup! My ideas about what should happen are so far removed from what will actually happen they could be Planet X.

  But that doesn’t make me wrong, dammit!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Authors Are Furious After Finding Their Works on List of Books Used To Train AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My friend, there are already numerous open source models out there. It’s a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Authors Are Furious After Finding Their Works on List of Books Used To Train AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No it’s not, it’s exactly the same thing. What if you go to an AI image generator and tell it to make a cat in the style of Picasso, Van Gough, and Todd McFarlane? What then? Who’s art is it “stealing”? Is it not creating a transformative piece of work? That’s exactly how the human brain works. I think the real issue is the greedy fucks hoarding the models being closed source projects and trying to bleed everyone else for access to them. The models should be available to anyone for any reason since they used the common knowledge and general advancement of society. They’re like a library, and they should be public like libraries.
