The Greatly Exaggerated Demise of SSI: A Rebuttal to Premature Eulogies https://t.co/SUvrtN16Uy

Great article, Gabe. This is how I feel about SSI, too. If I end up wrong, I won't feel bad for trying.

@WallStreetSilv And that salary has to stay higher for the duration of the mortgage--can you guarantee your income will stay higher for all 30 years?

@reneehwilliams I'd love to go and see another feature there...

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@paulballen Furthermore, the best commits are those where you get to remove thousands upon thousands of lines!

@mimistitchcraft @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec No, I'm not. I didn't use the AI or edit the photos, nor is anyone forcing these women to change how they dress or to take their photos down. They literally don't have to change a thing about themselves.

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@mothtoaflame13 @BiSigmaMale @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec No, you're wrong, not me. Not my AI, and I don't use it. I haven't altered anyone's photos, I haven't violated anyone's right to consent, I didn't reach out to anyone with doctored images.

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@mothtoaflame13 @BiSigmaMale @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec It's disrespect to add clothes to the image?

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@mothtoaflame13 @BiSigmaMale @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec They're sharing their photos PUBLICLY. I'm saying that they need to protect themselves and to do that, they need to keep their photos private.

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@BiSigmaMale @mothtoaflame13 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec I'm not, but these women are asking people to by wearing revealing clothing and sharing their photos publicly.

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@mothtoaflame13 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec I'm not looking for these pictures and I didn't ask to see these photos. These women post publicly and then they're surprised when their image is on people's feeds.

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@mothtoaflame13 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec Posting the photo publicly IS the consent for others to look at the photo. If you want to manage consent more than that, then you need things like passwords and paywalls.

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@mothtoaflame13 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec So it's not gross to let people ogle your half naked pictures but it is gross for people to add clothes? Do you hear yourself?

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@CalliopeStormb1 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec Absolutely. How is it any different than telling strangers on the Internet that they are wrong?

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@CalliopeStormb1 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec That is such a tangle of contradictory statements and values that you must feel like a pretzel.

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@CalliopeStormb1 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec Haha, I wouldn't ascribe upstanding citizen motives to 4chan, but you missed the point--this is no worse than someone saying "do you want to wear that in public?"

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@CalliopeStormb1 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec So these women should post extremely revealing pictures that scream "ogle me!" and then yell "not like that" when someone suggests they dress otherwise? No one is allowed to share their opinion about someone's publicly posted behavior?

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@CalliopeStormb1 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec If they don't want their photos to have clothes added, then don't post them on the Internet. People have been modifying photos on the Internet since photos on the Internet.

This is basically their auntie pulling them aside to say, "are you sure you want to wear that in public?"

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@CalliopeStormb1 @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec This AI tool was not created to show people general differences in dress, it was created to show what a specific person might look like if they dressed differently.

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@TateOrtena @TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec You ignored the part where I said they can wear what they want to wear. If they don't care what others think, then why is this such a big deal to you?

[Mike Ebert @mike_ebert]

@TexasAmerica @JackPosobiec This isn't about force, this is about showing people an alternative. They can still choose to dress and act however they like, but now people can see what could have been.
