I’m sorry, who said you aren’t allowed to talk about it? I know a few Haitians who moved to the US and they are great people.

If they need money honestly Tencent is better than a lot of the alternatives who might be willing to invest.

- Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates 2 months ago:
Something like Microsoft Word or Paint is not generative.
It is standard for publishers to make indemnity agreements with creatives who produce for them, because like I said, it’s kinda difficult to prove plagiarism in the negative so a publisher doesn’t want to take the risk of distributing works where originality cannot be verified.
I’m not arguing that we should change any laws, just that people should not use these tools for commercial purposes if the producers of these tools will not take liability, because if they refuse to do so their tools are very risky to use.
I don’t see how my position affects the general public not using these tools, it’s purely about the relationship between creatives and publishers using AI tools and what they should expect and demand.
- Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates 2 months ago:
Those analogies don’t make any sense.
Anyway, as a publisher, if I cannot get OpenAI/ChatGPT to sign an indemnity agreement where they are at fault for plagiarism then their tool is effectively useless because it is really hard to determine something in not plagiarism. That makes ChatGPT pretty sus to use for creatives. So who is going to pay for it?

What vegan thinks you can turn a cat vegan? That’s like thinking you can turn a cat hegelian or something.

While I agree that using copyrighted material to train your model is not theft, text that model produces can very much be plagiarism and OpenAI should be on the hook when it occurs.
- Comment on What does dying from all causes mean? 2 months ago:
Then shouldn’t it either be changed to “of any cause” or terminate after “dying”.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 2 months ago:
I think the Berlin Interpretation is quite outdated and was not even good at the time, but I will defend it on this one point. It does not provide a threshold for what is and is not a roguelike, the Berlin Interpretation just lists criteria that are important to consider when determining how roguelike something is. The heap paradox is an exercise for the reader.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 2 months ago:
A roguelite is ostensibly something that has enough features of a roguelike to be noted, but not enough to be considered one. And I’d argue there is way more to what makes a roguelike than permadeath with no meta progression.
Also Slay the Spire has less meta progression than Issac. Hades is in a whole nother ball park.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Thank you. One reason I stuck with ee instead of one of the other instances I made accounts with was that eventually this place was the only place I could go where I could still see content from all the instances I wanted to see. I couldn’t just make an account with one of those instances because they were generally defederated with one another.

- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
Yes, some people being pushy and judgemental is the real travesty. Not animals having their autonomy and lives taken. I didn’t realize we were supposed to coddle people who we see partaking in grave abuses.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
People also continue to benefit from the work of slaves in the past and even present. What’s your point? Do you think slavery is ethical? Is someone choosing to avoid products created from slave labour not a more ethical choice?
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
I became a vegan at a time in my life where I was close to being homeless. It might be hard for some people to switch to a plan based diet (veganism is more than a diet) depending on their access to a grocery store or food bank or people who can’t choose what they consume such as children, but it is definitely not a luxury.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
I’m tired of hearing this phrase inappropriately used in such a cynical hedonistic fashion. 90% of the time I hear it, the person is using it as if to say “All consumption under capitalism is equally ethical.” Of course they don’t seriously believe that, but because they aren’t saying what they mean perhaps it allows them to maintain this cognitive dissonance.
People with this mindset would not be useful post revolution without reeducation. Y’all are just jealous of the parasitic class and would not want to make a better world if it were even a minor inconvenience to you. If we simply eat the rich and loot their coffers what we will be left with is a bunch of worthless financial instruments and the reins of the exploitative industry, and we must do more than simply grab those reins and be our own slave drivers.
- Comment on Zionists doing a rave to block aid trucks at Ker Shalom crossing while Palestinians are starving 8 months ago:
If the protesters in these other situations were blocking fleets of ambulances and firetrucks you might have an equivalency.
- Comment on Dave The Diver Surpasses 3 Million Sales 10 months ago:
We should clearly turn people who have more children than your average shark into Soylent Green, because clearly they don’t ethically matter anymore. Maybe we can even feed them to sharks.
I’ve never played this game but keep showing how much of a clown you are.

Murdering fish okay. Murdering sharks unacceptable. 🤡

I use it sometimes, but used it regularly for music until I busted out an old iPod.
- Comment on Microchips 11 months ago:
These men are both enemies of the people, we shouldn’t make one look good by comparing them.
- Comment on Survive the zombie apocalypse 11 months ago:
Probably the handgun, body armor, jeep, and flashlight. On the first few days the jeep will offer mobility and storage, while the flashlight is necessary for maximizing the search for gear. Handgun and body armor to give you an advantage over your fellow survivors. Then acquire a boat, food, containers, and other resources and become a pirate. I might consider a fire axe or crow bar necessary if everything wasn’t glass doors and easily breakable locks.
- Comment on Nothing good 11 months ago:
This almost sounds like a prediction of contemporary meme culture where every situation or emotion is conveyed though a shared collection of phrases and images.
- Comment on Real Love 11 months ago:
It’s actually irrelevant whether or not you buy a product made from slave labour, the product is already made! How much product is made is completely independent of how much gets purchased, because that’s how markets work!
- Comment on Bread 11 months ago:
I love the end slices but hate when they are cut so thin that they fall apart in your hand.
- Comment on Bread 11 months ago:
I doubt the end being there makes much of a difference, it’s already sliced and air can easily get into the cracks. Plus you’re always taking the front piece which has supposedly had the most contact with the environment, so it doesn’t have much of a chance to go bad. Furthermore by reaching your grubby fingers around to sneak a middle piece you probably pose a bigger risk of contamination to the loaf.
I’m not convinced this method keeps bread longer until it’s put to the test.
- Comment on YSK that SLS, an ingredient added to most commercial toothpastes, causes canker sores 11 months ago:
I use an SLS toothpaste and have never had canker sores but I agree it seems silly to add it when even a small dab of toothpaste creates an unnecessary amount of foam with proper brushing.
