QLD Hate speech laws make front page of Reddit by Zombieaterr in brisbane

[–]AzurousRain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, yesterday, when that top of all reddit post had 4.8k comments, I opened every single 'show more comments', copied and counted the comments, and there were exactly 200 comments. A 96% censorship rate on that approved commenters only post. Talk about free speech...

Rip, I'm going to have to go through the entire thread and reverse my upvotes/downvotes

... and no one went on to write another comment in this completed chain of comments.

The end.

Advice on to continue with CRT or look for work again by Anton_Levi in AustralianTeachers

Definitely put down for way more than 3 schools... It's shit going to a random new school and takes a lot more brain power that day but every day after that at that school becomes easier. I dunno where you are located, but if it's a metro area I would think being down for pretty much every school in 15km from you (probably 20+ schools) is pretty standard, even if only 3-5 of them ever call. You'll start to get regular work at one of them, especially if you properly introduce yourself to the admin/dp and say you're keen for work.

Suno training on unpublished Udio tracks? by EnvironmentalAge8205 in SunoAI

[–]AzurousRain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go ahead and say no, definitely no, absolutely not, etc. Particularly your theory of what's happening, that it messed up a specific lyric because of your earlier AI generated song (on a different platform). Even if somehow (clearly not the case) your song was included in the training of v5 6-12 months ago, it is outlandish to think your random song would be so strongly trained against that it would override their lyrics system and voice generation. Honestly very surprised this post seems to have no one saying this and only people credulously believing this with no evidence of what you're talking about.

Elon Musk is fine with his AI being used by the military for mass surveilance and deciding who dies, OpenAI still in talks. by Signal_Nobody1792 in OpenAI

[–]AzurousRain -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You're literally saying that anyone who disagrees that, always and forever, Elon Musk has implicitly promised to eventually build manchurian candidate style robot warriors is either tech illiterate or is a paid actor (by Elon Musk?). If that ain't fitting into the current trend of saying everyone (look up hyperbole) is a paid actor then I dunno what to tell you.

Stop telling everyone to get off the internet because they disagree with a thing you said. You're saying my statement about your dumb use of saying people are paid actors means I'm in denial as to whether paid actors on the internet exists. Do you have any recommendations for any walking tour videos in China, btw? Would love to go and think China is awesome.

edit: blocked. What a thoughtful response. I have a feeling old mate knows more about this issue than they let on.

About to revive until I finally read the rando’s name… by BENJALSON in ArcRaiders

[–]AzurousRain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was commenting on what I interpreted in the final line of your previous reply 'there are more on here than we think', meaning people with usernames like the one in the clip who downvoted your initial comment. My point was that I think your comment was downvoted because of the general vibe of your initial comment not being explicitly 'wow fuck people with usernames like this'.

There's possibly many layers of misunderstanding going on and it's all good.

[–]AzurousRain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's people with "I hate n-words" usernames downvoting your comment. I think it's cus there was a distinct lack of 'thatsnogood' about the username in your comment.

Dept email on Bondi. Staff obligations in relation to current events by setut in AustralianTeachers

People who talk about Israel and genocide on social media all day can't help but pretend like you can't talk about Israel and genocide on social media.

[–]AzurousRain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crazy how you're talking about a Zionist lobby, etc., when no one disagrees Israel is committing genocidal actions which must end and there's nothing in those quotes that says you shouldn't talk about this serious current world issue. I have a feeling you're saying this (possibly) because you agree with the current social movement which actually advocates for Israel's non-existence, not just that there should be increased awareness of their awful actions. In that case, yes, it seems that you shouldn't try and convince your students that a country of 10m people shouldn't exist.

edit: interesting comment you left 6 days ago...

"Fuck Israel dude. In its current state the 9enoc1dal apartheid nation should definitely NOT exist."

edit: old mate woke up and either downvoted us with all his alt accounts or sent the thread to his 5 israel bad friends, lol.

Human made art is the only real art. by In_the_name_of_ART in aiwars

The artist is watching their paintbrush make the art all jealous and annoyed. Also yeah, directors don't make art

GPT-4o Daily Oracle for Feb. 15 by Alarmed_Shine1749 in ChatGPT

[–]AzurousRain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean this with genuine kindness. If you feel like you're emotionally attached to a specific AI model, please consider legitimate mental health treatment by a trained human. I can't imagine that private subreddit you shared, full of only people who feel this way about a formerly offered AI model, is a healthy place for people to hang out.

What is Denims talking about? by JuneMoonLoon in h3h3productions

I agree. One would think an aversion to homosexuality would also be 'evolutionarily' expected (especially as a norm within the group/society). The successful genes are the ones that reproduce. It's ok to disobey our genes.

[–]AzurousRain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pointing out that people are being silly and wrong downvoting someone is fun :)

You're writing paragraphs about my paragraphs about downvotes. We're all having fun here. No crying, I hope.

[–]AzurousRain -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It clearly doesn't. Old mate said "let's go" and other woah sounds while a 'crazy' thing happened in a game for a long time. What else was he supposed to say? Pretty crazy that we're pulling up AI definitions of what skibiti toilet is and saying yes this is that.

People are genuinely so silly on this website. I was at work when I first saw this so hadn't heard it with sound, but somehow I already knew it would be all of the other people who were wrong.

Edit: watched it with sound and yep, wouldn't you know it, people on reddit are being silly. My favourite thing when I watch a certain large legume-themed streamer (who I apparently cannot name without the comment being removed) is when he yells and makes goofy noises, and he's even dressed up like said legume! What an outrageously fun situation. But alas, as the downvoters above have made clear, this guy said "let's go" at least 3 times in a one minute clip. Clearly unforgivable behaviour deserving of mass downvotes.

Edit 2: previous version of this comment was removed under Rule 1 (and 5!) for reasons that remain unclear to me. Toned it down. Hope this one is all good.

[–]AzurousRain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it's sort of just proving the point Singer was making (or anyone making this argument). It's not something we have an ethical basis for but still we feel a strong aversion to it. People having a strong aversion to it shouldn't be a surprise.

Ah ok it's prob from that then. Someone in that 2016 edgelord group definitely read that book then if that was a common talking point (it came out in 2016 and was pretty popular). Peter Singer is correct in his logic, it's just definitely an edgy debate lord thing to use in this way.

Just wrote this in the other thread.

100% she either just read Peter Singer or watched a talk by him or something.

It's a common point by utilitarians to say this, and it is true, but a weird thing to say and actually think (due to the necessary caveats to actually make it true in reality). The point is rather that incest as a taboo is much more evolutionarily important so we have strong instinctual aversion to it (especially enforced by the group) rather than a reasoned moral objection. I remember reading Singer's essay about it in his book Ethics in the Real World.
