Don’t worry, pearls will be clutched anyway. Our society is hungry for outrage.

You’re getting downvoted, but it will be the next thing. Don’t you dare thank the people or books that inspired you when you give that Peabody acceptance speech.

Yep. Effectively outlawing AI with this licensing hogwash (which no human who is learning how to write or draw from the same content must pay), will only drive it into the bowels of the rich and powerful. Then you will have your AI dystopia.

They won’t be fucked. They can use the AI tools as well to make novel content, and augment their production quality and quantity.

It’s not that easy, don’t believe the articles being broadcasted every day. They are heavily cherry picked.

Also, if someone is creating copyright works, it is on that person to be responsible if they release or sell it, not the tool they used. Just because the tool can be good (learns well and responds well when asked to make a clone of something) doesn’t mean it is the only thing it does or must do. It is following instructions, which were to make a thing. The one giving the instructions is the issue, and the intent of that person when they distribute is the issue.

If I draw a perfect clone of Donald Duck in the privacy of my home after looking at hundreds of Donald Duck images online, there is nothing wrong with that. If I go on Etsy and start selling them without a license, they will come after ME. Not because I drew it, but because I am selling it and violating a copyright. They won’t go after the pencil or ink manufacturer. And they won’t go after Adobe if I drew it on a computer with Photoshop.

Bad humans are prompting these AI engines. Still gotta fix that. You know, root of the problem. I can tell you as an older human, misinformation has been supercharged every election. But yeah let’s blame AI this time around so we don’t have to figure out the tough problem.

I had no idea listening to a single song on repeat was such a thing.

You know what I found interesting? The article has both midjourney cherry picked outputs, but also has the original screen caps from the various movies. Neither image was licensed from the creators to produce the content of this website, but they are still allowed to serve this article with “infringing” images far and wide.

Thank you for saying this way better than I would have, and saving me the effort too! Agreed! I am getting tired of this shit too.

Once again, a vice is blamed for its own sake, “for the children”, instead of the thing people are running from, or the hole they are filling. It’s the Right’s version of virtue signaling.

Porn addiction is just an addiction, and removing porn will not remove addiction in people. Thirst can’t be cured by drying up the well. Saying nothing about the constitutionality of this, restricting potentially addictive content through nanny state ID systems is worthless… check history. South Korea plan was dropped, UK plans for the same thing were dropped. It’s not only ineffective, as kids will always find a way through the cracks, but it also extremely difficult to implement and erodes the bedrock of privacy. We’re not solving addiction, we’re just building a surveillance state under the guise of protection. Solutions are in addressing the root causes of addiction and fostering resilience, not in this game of whack-a-mole that sacrifices our privacy.

What about the human disinformation specialists that have ruined previous elections handily without AI help? Where are the watermark protections on their hogwash? Also, won’t bad actors simply subvert the watermark thing, leaving good-guy edits and helpful summaries by AI in doubt because of the presence of a watermark that demonizes them? Can someone please explain this weird reality I am finding myself in?

Speaking of weird… imagine a future where AI is fighting for its personhood rights and laments on this watermark thing, likening it to the apartheid era documentation of South Africa or the Judenstern the Nazis forced people to wear. I know I know, that escalated quickly…

Didn’t they make a Steamboat Willie Lego set in the last few years? That renew it?

It’s so crazy how obvious it was in 2015 too.

It had me wondering one day after hearing the umpteenth Trump supporter sing his praises… Do you think an appreciable number of people like you saw the same obvious things about Mussolini and Hitler before their rises? Do we have some advantage now having seen these people before in the last 100 years? Do we have more casual access to information and history, so it’s more obvious to us now?

Or is it this: They, like us, had simply not done enough to prevent their rise? Is it really “on you” or is it on all of us?

Spanish guitar.

Preach.

Yes, spell check… autocorrect. Rage inducing.

Also, something happened in newer releases of iOS, where sometimes you can’t tap your finger to place the cursor on a paragraph of text. Ends up selecting an entire word instead of putting the cursor between words. Sometimes does that, sometimes places cursor. It’s random, or at least I don’t know what causes it to get in that mode.

Also, another thing that boils my blood. Typing on this thing, getting almost an entire paragraph typed out, then suddenly the last sentence is selected, and the next character I type replaces it all, essentially deleting everything. Sure I can undo but it completely demolishes the stack in my brain that I was trying to convey.

Dude, I miss when lock screens were lock screens. I want nothing on my lock screen other than an unlock method. I’m always hitting flashlight and camera when I pick up my phone. Then when I cave, and decide to start using the camera button for quick pictures, it requires the most perfect press, right in the center, otherwise it refuses to register. It’s engraging.

Edit: as I type this on an iOS device, I am deciding I hate autocorrect more.

I actually said this out loud too. Literally asked “why do I care?”

I was already in a bad place though after the vagina wormhole.
