friendly reminder that every time someone tries to promote gAI, you can ask "hey, can you please explain why [your preferred gAI] can generate child sexual abuse material?"
@dowellml not to mention the obvious issue that gAI cannot ever figure out literally anything, including integrate and evaluate scientific research (much less *do* the required research to ever begin working toward "curing" anything)
due to an erroreous English transliteration of a German translation of a Latin translation of the ancient Greek, we got a story about Alexander the Great being clever and decisive when, in fact, he was just a dick who fucking cut a really nice sweater in half
@twitchyspoonie fash gonna fash, unfortunately
the internal logic is consistent, fwiw: they don't trust the weak/social inferiors (e.g., anyone seeing a doctor), but do trust fash shit (e.g., useless fash tech)
@dowellml I think folks at the genocide factories can fuck themselves instead of demanding better pay and conditions for doing evil. But otherwise agree.
@dowellml given that a PhD stipend, at best (and long before biden), would allow one to just barely cover the basic essentials for life if one lived frugally, I think we can conclude that paying for insulin, housing, and basic utilities is being terrible with money
@GraceRoe5142 I'd say some might be reading the literature, but God knows they don't look at anything beyond an abstract (assuming they bother reading more than the title).
@lelulolololol I don't even fucking lie (I am a goose. Geese don't lie.) but I can come up with better, unfalsifiable claims that support what they want.
@lelulolololol tangential, but they sound so bad at lying that it feels intentional, just to be maximally insufferable.
like, they could just make up some fucking numbers. "preliminary estimates are 35% of cases are solved using pigtech. and if we can do what we want, all crime will drop 95%."
question on examples of where a "lack of CCTVs prevented solving a crime" - chief Sayles said "sometimes we get caught in the notion that we need cameras to solve crimes" that police can also "investigate the way we started" [w/o CCTVs]
the paradox of SPD not/needing CCTVs ๐
one side: "I like to [REDACTED] children"
other side: "I don't want my [electricity/gas/water/sewer] bills to skyrocket further. Or useless tech that requires slavery. Or to have dangerously loud, extremely hot buildings by my home. Or to never be able to afford PC parts..."
i like how there are gAI "debates" and it's just fascists, pedophiles, and fascist pedophiles on one 'side' and people who dislike ecocidal omnicidal technology-annihilating useless fascist pedophile tech on the other.
What I've come to believe is a large portion of the population thinks that simply considering abstract examples about human behavior is a sign of immorality. If you give them a trolley problem, they wonder why you think it's okay to kill people.
