- Comment on Microsoft patents system for AI helpers to finish games for you 1 day ago:
I honestly love this. I find it interesting to spot the times when games do this. I think the Mass Effect elevators was the first game I really noticed it in, but some games are really good at hiding it.

Already has, but loading screens are too quick now to make it worth actually doing.
- Comment on Indonesia will quit Trump's Board of Peace if it does not benefit Palestinians, Prabowo says 2 days ago:
Anyone who joined the board of peace expecting it to benefit anyone but Trump, or thinking it was anything other than an open invitation to bribe him, is unbelievably ignorant.
- Comment on Is there a place online to ask for Non Money donations? like books, jerseys, or whatever? kind of like go fund me or kickstarter without giving someone money kind of like a gofundme donations thing? 3 days ago:
Not exactly what you’re looking for I don’t think but you might check for local Freecycle groups.
- Comment on U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material 1 week ago:
What if it’s a collage of AI generated art pieces? Technically the artist did the same amount of work as someone making a collage of human-created things.

Just google it, I’m sure it’ll be fine.
- Comment on U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material 1 week ago:
I mean, you could make the same argument for paint brushes for traditional art. Or pencils. There’s a really big difference between someone using a tablet and an Undo hotkey to draw something digitally vs. someone making something with AI. One of those clearly requires a ton of skill; one does not require any.
- Comment on U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material 1 week ago:
I wonder what percentage has to be created by a human to be eligible for copyright. For example, if someone generates an AI image and then changes a few pixels, is that human-created? What if they over-paint 30% of the image? 50%? What if someone creates something in Photoshop from scratch, but they use Photoshop’s in-built AI driven tools to enhance it?
Either anything that uses AI in any capacity is uncopyrightable, or there has to be a line somewhere, so… Where is it?
- Comment on wild 1 week ago:
It’s just a video game breeding system. Like you’re trying to make the human with ideal stats by combining other humans’ stats. Funny that Real Life mimics video games like that; good thing there’s no single entity behind it, or Nintendo would sue.

- Comment on LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next? 1 week ago:
That feels like a weak argument, revenge porn is a crime, so is illustrated csam.
Not everywhere. If it’s legal where the admin lives and legal where the server is hosted, you can’t really make this argument. You could make the argument that it’s morally wrong, but like… the point is that it’s a possible point of contention, and not as cut-and-dried as you suggest.
- Comment on LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next? 1 week ago:
Also the ideology of a nsfw community is a straight-forward issue.
You’d think so, but like… What about disagreements over what type of content should be allowed? Should they allow AI generated stuff? Revenge porn? Illustrated art depicting minors? Specific extreme fetishes?
- Comment on UK fines Reddit $19 million for using children’s data unlawfully 1 week ago:
Q4 Revenue grew 70% year-over-year to $726 million. 2025 Revenue grew 69% to $2.2 billion. Q4 Net Income $252 million, 35% of revenue. Source
But that’s cool, I’m sure 19 million will teach 'em. I wonder how much they sold that data for.
- Comment on Zuckerberg’s “Fix” for Child Safety Could End Anonymous Internet Access for Everyone 2 weeks ago:
This, really, is what gets me about billionaires. Literally any of them could have just faded into obscurity years ago, lived a life of abject luxury and never had a single worry. Or, they could have spent like 10% of their wealth on improving things for society as a whole, and everyone would have loved them for it. But no - they all had to just focus on hoarding more and more and making things worse and worse for everyone else. It’s fucking baffling to me.
- Comment on Man Opposing Data Center Arrested for Speaking Slightly Too Long 2 weeks ago:
One could note that, since this man was arrested and so far none of the folks named in the Epstein files have been, they consider speaking for a few seconds past the allotted time to be a worse crime than sexually abusing children for decades.

I initially misread that as ‘gynecological and medical history’ and it put an entirely different and quite unpleasant spin on the whole story.
- Comment on Can't believe it's been renamed for a year now! 3 weeks ago:
Yeah… “We can’t undo all of the unprecedented shit the previous admin did because it would set a precedent for future admins” is just about the stupidest argument I can think of. Tear it all down and start from scratch, clearly what we have isn’t working.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 3 weeks ago:
I learned about it from a story I heard of someone who traveled from the US to Thailand, saw it on the menu at a restaurant and ordered it, expecting it to be the sort of fried rice you’d get in the US at an Asian restaurant. They were unpleasantly surprised.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 3 weeks ago:
Notably, Americans are not the only culture that does this.
There’s a Thai dish called ‘American Fried Rice’ for instance.
American fried rice is a Thai fried rice dish with “American” side ingredients like fried chicken, ham, sausages, raisins, and ketchup.[1] Other ingredients like pineapples and croutons are optional.
At least in any part of America I’ve been to, this is certainly not something you can get here.
- Comment on Can't believe it's been renamed for a year now! 3 weeks ago:
It’s fucking embarrassing, honestly. I hope whomever is president next reverses all of the BS executive orders. Like, day 1. You could argue that there’s far more important things to be doing than changing the Gulf of Mexico back to being the Gulf of Mexico, and you’d be right, but doing it on day 1 (along with everything else - just write one executive order that undoes every EO from the prior admin) sends the (important) message that there was nothing of value done by the prior admin, and the legitimacy of the administration is not even being entertained for a moment.
- Comment on Whats the best way to clean up 15 years of stuff around the house? 3 weeks ago:
If you’re moving, then set some firm boundaries: You will have 1 moving truck (or whatever you’re using) - if it won’t fit in the truck, you can’t keep it, full stop. If there’s something that won’t fit that you absolutely must keep, you’ve got to remove something else to make room for it.
Take it one room at a time, or even one quarter of a room at a time. Don’t cherry pick things to remove - just start at one end and remove everything. It either goes in the dumpster, or it goes in the truck, but it can’t stay in the house, and you’ve got to choose one. There’s no “We’ll decide on this later”.
- Comment on The Duality of Lemmy 3 weeks ago:
The newer monster hunter games try to explain it away as functionality conservation efforts, telling you that the ones you’re killing are throwing off the local ecosystem, but it falls pretty flat when they also pit captured ‘research specimens’ against you in the arena they built explicitly for that purpose…
- Comment on Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting after you die 3 weeks ago:
Hey, none of that. Around here, all content is valuable, low-effort and shitty or not. As long as it was posted by a human; fuck AI.
- Comment on I literally can't even afford dinner everyday in Paris! 3 weeks ago:
That’s cool. I hate that we have to vote every piece of media through the ‘is this AI?’ lens now, but glad to hear it’s legitimate.
- Comment on I literally can't even afford dinner everyday in Paris! 3 weeks ago:
The colors in the key don’t even match the colors in the graph, is this just AI generated garbage or do you have actual sources to go with it?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Can’t speak from personal experience but from what I’ve heard, it’s more about the concept / theme / emotions than the actual act itself. People (at least, the vast majority) who are into it don’t actually want to experience it in real life; just like with many other more mundane fetishes, it’s more about the fantasy and how it makes you feel to imagine yourself in that situation, and more nebulous concepts like the idea of becoming a physical part of another creature, or the imagined feeling of closeness, constriction, warmth, safety or comfort from being inside something’s stomach. Obviously not things you’d experience if it actually happened to you, but that’s not the point.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m not super familiar with the exact specifics, but my loose understanding is that if it’s ‘soft’, the subject survives relatively unharmed. If they die in the process, it’s ‘hard’, whether that’s due to being chewed, asphyxiation, or dissolved (or anything else). (There’s a subcategory called ‘disposal’ which is… exactly what you think it is, following that digestion.)
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I hate that I feel the need to mention this, but…
“Vore” doesn’t necessarily imply ‘torn to shreds’; it could be as simple as being swallowed whole. It comes in ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ varieties, with the former being non-destructive, and the latter being… well, what you thought.
