Can I ask, what are your thoughts on 1984?

Errors such as this have been occurring by human hands for decades, while adversarial networks and language models capable of making the same error have only been available for a few years. As such, attributing all such errors to AI is foolish, as humans have already proven capable of making the same types of mistakes.

This kinda shit is as old as computers.

Hell yeah, I think it’s time to take out some Nazis myself. I’ve still never played the sequel or Young Blood.

Focusing on one part of your response that really rubs me the wrong way, you believe artists don’t need to be compensated for their work?

So… Final Fantasy, Oblivion, Inscryption…

Well, my main concern is the characterization of this as “piracy.” It’s not like image generating AIs are reproducing their actual films, right? Sure, it could be used to produce similar artwork to comics or stills or something, but it’s not gonna recreate the substance of the media. Yet, that’s how they’ve chosen to classify it, and I worry that it could set a precedent that could be used to sort of sidestep fair use protections.

Cool. Counterpoint: The primary point of failure in the DualShock 3 was a small foam sponge which was the only thing holding the small ribbon cable coming from the battery in place. One of the most smooth-brained design decisions I’ve seen in my life.

“Midjourney has made a calculated and profit-driven decision to offer zero protection for copyright owners even though Midjourney knows about the breathtaking scope of its piracy and copyright infringement.”

That… sounds worrying. It’s not hard to imagine a success here eventually being extended to criminalize any and all fan art as “piracy.”

Every autistic person I’ve met has had more empathy than every Republican I’ve met.

Man, fuckin’ Sony does it again. The PS2 is the last time I had a positive thought about their hardware. Not even just consoles, I got a Sony Blu-ray player years ago, and it was an absolute waste of money that has the distinction of being the first piece of tech that wasn’t a console or a computer to plague me with crashes.

That’s not playing both sides, it’s just not an extremist perspective. That’s like saying driving a car without running down cyclists is playing both sides.

Seriously surprised no one has said this yet, but overzealous companies sometimes flag mobile ISPs just for being mobile ISPs. I have T-Mobile as my home internet provider and I deal with this fairly often.

I take it as a sign of less than great security. Users on mobile ISPs tend to change IPs a lot, meaning implementing blocks like this is lazy and unhelpful. At best, they delay a bad actor until they flip a switch. At worst, they impede or completely block legitimate users such as yourself.

Well, they do keep making it worse. I just had to reinstall the os because 24H2 broke my whole system. The fact that I can’t translate my Playnite setup over is literally the only reason I haven’t moved to Linux.

If a “Ben Shapiro destroys” video doesn’t break any rules, then what’s the issue with it being monetized?

The issue, my friend, is that such videos often do break the rules on hateful content and on misinformation (though those rules may have also been removed after 2020), but are still able to be monetized regardless.

What I’m doubting here is the claim that this kind of content is somehow disproportionately pushed to people who have no interest in it.

Straw man. You may have had that argument with someone else, but no one on this comment chain ever made that claim but you.

My personal experience doesn’t support the claim that right-wing media is being disproportionately pushed to people who aren’t interested in it.

They didn’t ever make that claim, that’s just your straw man.

The person I was replying too didn’t mention Left or Right and neither did I.

Question: are you really this dense, or just acting in bad faith?

Silencing your ideological opponents is ethically and morally inferior and I don’t care what your supposed motivation is.

“I want to eliminate all of insert racial or religious slur.”

“That’s bad.”

“I want to stop that person from saying and doing that.”

"That’s exactly as bad.*

Ah yes, the classic “lOOk aT tHE TOlEraNt LEfT” argument.

Or is it maybe this one?

Or maybe it’s both. Ya know, because they’re the same argument. This exact argument has taken so many forms in the past decade, and it’s always founded on the same fallacy. It’s a false equivalency.
