- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 months ago:
Theres several reasons
Part of it is good old fashioned bigotry
A big part of it is the systemic advantage the Electoral College gives Republicans
And of course there’s the matter that Traitor Trump voters don’t have standards while the rest of us do

If you arent calling it mickey mouse, it would actually be fine from a copyright perspective. What youd get sued for is the character design itself being too similar, which is a trademark/IP issue
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 3 months ago:
The law being violated there is trademark, not copyright
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 3 months ago:
But what it outputs IS transformative, which- of course- is the e primary use
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 3 months ago:
Transformation is in itself fair use is the thing. Ytp doesnt need to be parody or critique or anything else, because its fundamentally no longer the same product as whatever the source was as a direct result of editing

What you shluldve wanting is some Phillipino employer to pay the lady what shes worth, and the American business to hire an American

Sucks to be them. Stop enabling our owner class to hollow out our economy even more

Capitalism is not a meritocracy the second someone fies and passes on their money

I posted this in a thread, but Im gonna make it a parent comment for those who support this bill.
Consider youtube poop, Im serious. Every clip in them is sourced from preexisting audio and video, and mixed or distorted in a comedic format. You could make an AI to make youtube poops using those same clips and other “poops” as training data. What it outputs might be of lower quality (less funny), but in a technical sense it would be made in an identical fashion. And, to the chagrin of Disney, Nintendo, and Viacom, these are considered legally distinct entities; because I dont watch Frying Nemo in place of Finding Nemo. So why would it be any different when an AI makes it?

What of the images random people generate from software like dall e? Those are made from the same training data, and what this poicy does to them is make media creation more inaccessible even though the technology exists. Also, copying a book word for word by hand isnt/wasnt plagarism, its unlicensed duplication. Plagarism would be changing just the proper nouns and pretending like its a completely seperate book
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 4 months ago:
This, exactly. AI is generating new images. Oh whoop de do, they did it by mixing a bunch of pixels. As though making an image out of tiny photos isnt literally the same thing and considered transformative. People just have a double standard about a program instead of a person doing it. (Except for that subset kd online artists, they’re just bezerk about copyright and credit in general)
- Comment on The AI-focused COPIED Act would make removing digital watermarks illegal 4 months ago:
Most everyone from corporations to tumblr artists will be opting into that. While it doesnt guarantee an information dystopia, it does enable it
I download images from the internet and remove watermarks to edit them in youtube videos as visual aid. I add a credit to the description because Im not a cunt, I just do it to make the video look better. I dont monetize content. Utterly and totally harmless, and would be illegal with such a label
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
It doesn’t improve it. You could argue it makes it worse since I often face social rejection from the left for it…for some inexplicable reason. But I don’t simply choose to hate or not hate something, the same way one does not simply chose their sexuality or gender or race or emotions.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
After a certain point, you have to realize your bully is either incapable or unwilling to engage in that empty. At which point, your option is beat or get beat

Cold confort knowing we’re a minorty and Ill very possibly have to seek asylum by new years
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
You’re letting your heart get in the way of the mind. I got to enjoy knowing my grandparents abused my parents. My maternal side in particular revelled in spewing hate at demographics including myself and abandoning all the values they claimed to hold dear for their pentacostal magat cult. Needless to say I do not have the same issue.
Regardless. If you really care about defending people’s rights, you need to be able to look people like your grandparents in the eye and say “No, you’re wrong, and should suffer for it”.
And old people arent cute, not sure where you got that

You’re right, but to play devil’s advocate; that’s extremely unintuitive and took me to my 20s to figure out
- Comment on Mona: Australia women's-only museum files appeal to keep men out 6 months ago:
Because that totally won’t immediately be abused for transphobia. Like, I get the complaint, but think through the implications for five seconds
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
I hate them because i have to constantly be afraid of them.

Why is it you think we cant recruit the same way

They’ll just abandon democracy and go for force if they lose. We’re past the point of law, brawn and control are what matters rn
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
Why arent you afraid of them though, they really will do actual terrible things
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
Why the hell do you want them on our side? Why dont you want to destroy them? Thats exactly what Im asking about, where is the hate?
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
Let me help you, its always all on purpose. They are as deep as the hostile npcs in a video game and worthy of even less moral consideration
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
Okay but my point is why aren’t there nearly as many hateful liberals
