Exactly.

Theoretically, sure there’s potential. But it shouldn’t be getting used as a commercial product in the meantime.
Especially generative. Letting it write, compose, create… All of that is 1,000% a mistake. The kind accessible to the public can’t currently create at scale without unethical access to source material.
It shouldn’t be getting shoehorned into every job possible while it’s still in this pre-alpha kind of state.
Although I don’t actually know the ratio of research use vs casual use, tbf. But this shit gotta be litigated and used properly with proper guidelines, not just thrown out like this.
It’s still way too early for this shit. Our willingness as a species to just jump into new tech should have been tempered to be smarter by now.
Maybe I would’ve been reluctant about those technologies. But I am convinced with data. And so far I’ve only seen problems with it, no actual benefits.

Yes, but there’s zero fucking actual benefit.
Seeing memes posted here that use AI while sitting on it is the most confusing thing to me.
Just… don’t use it, people. The hole burning in AI bros’ pockets will close up if you just stop making it profitable. Even the free ones are making money with ads. Don’t use it, even for a joke.

Invent a new urinal and demand everyone use a shewee-like thing (for aim purposes). Now everyone can enjoy the satisfaction of peeing standing up and we can get rid of all gendered restrooms.
Now what, maga?

Screen those piddly lame ass infected toes, I wish all commercial advertisers straight up instant death. Make one website where people can look you up, and have promotions happen there; but nothing should ever be advertised anywhere outside that.
Advertisement is a cancer. Bad in every way.
Got my yelling at clouds done for today. I offer no further solution, but adverts are definitely just a problem of humanity, not a benefit.
- Comment on If everyone spontaneously became the same race the world would realize that the rich are the real problem 1 month ago:
Or better yet, everyone appears to be whatever the new mono-race is, but in mirrors and other reflections and photos, racists see their least favorite race.
That way they still get to suffer.
- Comment on YSK: This recent war on adult content was mostly started by a single law in 2018, pushed by a few evangelical groups pretending to fight sexual exploitation 1 month ago:
My mom saw the NDT clip where he says God is just a receding pocket of unknowns (I’m paraphrasing the hell out of it because I can’t remember the actual wording).
I think part of her realizes that he is right because while she kinda hates all non-fundie people, she really REALLY doesn’t like him. I’m guessing because she sees that line of thought as a big threat.
But if I ever get into it with her, I will make absolutely sure to bring that idea in to it, just to watch her squirm.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 month ago:
It doesn’t really matter if we think they’re people. It doesn’t really matter if they are. We (all the worthy humans) should treat them as non people.
I can’t see a negative here beyond false identification. If there was an objective, without a doubt way to measure if someone was a Nazi, I would support genociding them (and only them). Proactively. It should simply be as illegal to just be a Nazi on the same level as it would be to murder an entire country’s population.
Turns out that is either impossible or we’re millions of years from figuring out how to do that safely (safe in terms of not harming non Nazis). But the minute we do I’d be on board with punishing them for daring to be born. There is no world of timeline in which being Nazi isn’t worthy of immediate execution.
But since all of that is a pipe dream, in the mean time we can at least celebrate when they get taken out naturally. I wouldn’t like rub it in the family’s face (unless they were Nazis as well) or anything, but I’m definitely not even gonna act sad about it. The more pain they feel as they die, the harder I laugh. Tough lessons suck to learn. Sorry NOT sorry.
As a last note, I think that would be the better world, and it would be defending ourselves from their existence, which is a threat to everyone. As long as that idea is still in someone’s head, no one is safe.

I feel based on the name of the community, some rules would be obvious. But a “absolutely nothing from you, male scum” isn’t obvious.
I posted one there yesterday or this morning, haven’t checked on it, but it’s probably deleted now. No harm no foul. It wasn’t meant to break a rule, and they can do what they want. But I would’ve never even known if not for this post.
But I will be blocking the sub now. Both because I’m apparently not welcome, and because I will probably accidentally do it again otherwise.

Finally, an actual good use of the “chainsaw of bureaucracy”.
But yeah, this needs to be said more.
The problem for me is that it’s hard to see them being more than a potential child molester.
Maybe not so much if it’s like just “the forbidden kink”, but if it’s more of the main show it feels like they’re just so much more likely to do it eventually.
Now I haven’t read any data on it, but it does naturally raise concern to be wary.
But people at large really love an easy target to dump rage on. And I get it, I’ve been in that crowd.
I may have been saddled with a really weird collection of my own kinks, preferences, and desires, but at least all of mine are kid free. And at my age I still call 20-somethings kids.

Every single person who fears anti fascism deserves death. Full stop. President, House, Senate, ICE, janitor. No exceptions.

The math doesn’t math.
Even assuming the drinks cost $3, even if all 60 bought one, that’s $180, not 2 or 3 hunnid.
And that’s not counting the work to do the interviews, as mentioned by others, or counting the work to do inventory and stick the machine, it even the cost of the drinks themselves.
Bro really doin all this work for what accounts to maybe $30 profit on a good day. Which would be ok for a tiny amount of work, but even if he does this at his regular job, is just a decent chunk extra, not a ton.

That’s just copiun. Anybody with anything rattling around in their skull at all just wants IDF to die.

Instead, he should improve humanity by dying. So much easier and everyone would be so much happier.
