I mean, sure, but that’s really easier said than done. Good luck getting good mental healthcare for cheap in the vast majority of places

Why does legality matter? Laws are set by the government, why do you expect a fascist one to be beholden to them?

The interesting thing though, is that technological life continuing leads to more entropy faster, not slower.

Is your argument that we should use generative AI to mislead people? To make fake videos and images and such to use as “proof”?

This is just that zizek quote

And you need to keep in mind that targeted harassment campaigns are perfectly content twisting and manipulating the truth. I have plenty of experience with shit like that from my personal life. So I do not put a lot of stock in info sourced from places like those

In addition, I highly doubt the founder would have been this deeply affected by the harassment if she actually was a person that didn’t care much for the animals or others and their opinions

Yeah sorry if I don’t believe this when the source is fucking kiwifarms

I love heat pumps I love heat pumps I love heat pumps

(I agree! I do love tech connections. Although I’d argue that knowing how heat pumps work can be quite beneficial ^^ at least in my case)

Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What’s the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there’s no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?

Me a haiku.

Frankly at this point self-diagnosis shouldn’t be as demonized as it is. Because getting a diagnosis is, 1. Expensive, 2. Involved as all hell sometimes, 3. Not all professionals being great, and 4. In certain countries cough the US cough, it gets you literally put on a list

I say this as someone who is diagnosed. Just preface any statements you make with you not being professionally diagnosed and that you think you might likely have it and such, and you should be fine. Ultimately the point of the diagnosis is to help you. If you feel like the autistic framework is useful to understanding yourself, use it.

Except it would still have severe consequences if it’s intelligence. Especially if it may label the person as a traitor

Where? In my country there isn’t less variety, no

Britain was also broke after WW2, and couldn’t really afford, nor did they want to, keeping India

So in a way India’s freedom was fought and won violently, it just wasn’t mainly India’s violence

You need to rebuild roads to maintain them every couple decades anyway. That cost is already baked in, it just depends what you so with it

People didn’t use to call those AI images. They used to call them images with a filter

Sure, some form of machine learning was involved, but so was your Google search for the previous decade. Unless one specifies what one means by AI, I still stand by my statement

In addition, OP’s image was still real, even if it had a filter on. A lot of people’s images have such filters on, especially since often they’re applied automatically. That’s the whole difference and the point

So I see people arguing whether this is AI or not and I just wanna say that

What people should take away from all of this is that we’re rapidly approaching a point where we’re simply unable to accurately determine whether something is generated or not. And we, as individuals and as a society, are not ready for that. We’re heading into a different world, and we better prepare for it, as well as re-examine our relationship to art and images before we’re forced to do so by the circumstances

That’s mostly what I was referring to in my latter paragraph, yes

But the important takeaway is that it’s not the core of what pornography is

seeing violence is probably worse than seeing sex

Yes, I mean, one is (ideally) about two (or more) people enjoying time they have together in an intimate way, the other is about hurting one another maliciously. I certainly prefer one of these things to be more prominent than the other

There is a discussion to be had about stuff like objectification and porn that doesn’t depict people like, consenting, and such, but at least in an ideal I’d much rather have media that focuses on pleasure and love than hate and suffering

“you keep messing with that thing and it’ll fall off and you’ll turn into a girl”

On one hand, fucking horrible thing to say on a child

On the other… probably would not have the effect they would intend on a certin chunk of the population lmao
