  In your defense, there’s a lot of social pressure to go to BYU within the Mormon church, and most high school kids don’t have the experience and knowledge to navigate the official and unofficial propaganda. I just happened to luck out that my parents pushed me not to go to BYU

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're just scanning for the bear...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense for the school that expels women for being assaulted. As if I needed another reason to hate BYU

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans rarely refer to the US as America⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not wrong, I was just poking fun at the original comment making a hyperbolic statement about hyperboles

  I’d bet that a lot of it comes from how pervasive advertising is; we’re constantly bombarded by ads that use that kind of language, so it’s worked its way into everyday language

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans rarely refer to the US as America⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The irony of saying that only the US uses hyperbole

  This is why I just never talk about brand-name products online, I don’t want to seem like an advertising shill account (I’m just here to get into heated political arguments and shitpost)

  I’ll recommend things to people I know IRL, but very rarely will I do it online

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok AI still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because with harm reduction as the goal, the solution is never “give them more of the harmful thing.”

  I’ll compare it to the problems of drug abuse. You don’t help someone with an addiction by giving them more drugs, you don’t help them by throwing them in jail just for having an addiction, you help them by making it safe and easy to get treatment for the addiction.

  Look at what Portugal did in the early 2000s to help mitigate the problems associated with drug use, treating it as a health crisis rather than a criminal one.

  You don’t arrest someone for being addicted to meth, you arrest them for stabbing someone and stealing their wallet to buy more meth; you don’t arrest someone just for being a pedophile, you arrest them for abusing children.

  This means making AI better, more realistic, and at the same time more diverse.

  No, it most certainly does not. AI is already being used to generate explicit images of actual children. Making it better at that task is the opposite of harm reduction, it makes creating new victims easier than ever.

  Acting reasonably to prevent what we can prevent means shutting down the CSAM-generating bot, not optimizing and improving it.

  We could feed the pedo AI more training data and make it even better!

  No.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It sure is, babe!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Buddy,

  Also, credit unions don’t have insurance on your savings, banks do. There’s plenty of other reasons to not using credit unions. And saving $25 Fees ain’t it lmfao.

  Not a lot of ambiguity in that statement.

  But please, keep defending the banks and some of their most predatory practices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It sure is, babe!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You realize some do?

  Your original statement was that credit unions don’t insure your savings, full stop. Don’t spread misinformation and then try to backpedal when you get called out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It sure is, babe!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, credit unions don’t have insurance on your savings, banks do.

  In the United States, this is just blatantly untrue:

  Established by Congress in 1970 to insure member share accounts at federally insured credit unions, the NCUSIF coverage is similar to the coverage provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Credit union members do not need to apply for share insurance coverage as it is provided automatically when they join a federally insured credit union. Each credit union member has at least $250,000 in total coverage for share accounts held at a federally insured credit union.

  From https://mycreditunion.gov/protect-your-money/share-insurance

  Your ignorance is hilarious though.

  My first thought was about potentially protecting encryption, with all the privacy-invading laws that are popping up here in the US and abroad, but after skimming through the bill it seems like they could still use the “but criminals use encryption” line
