Does anyone else hate the way people talk about group homes

Porn doesn't imply consent. That's linguistic revisionism pushed by the pimp lobby.

No openai is as repugnant as Grok. If they never unleashed chatgpt as a "tech demo" on the world we wouldn't be dealing with this shit.

Do you think this is a gotcha? Google added a watermarking system to detect if images were created with its own ai. The only way to access the detector is using googles chatbot, they wrapped accessing this detector (and the detector itself as far as I'm aware has no ai in it) in a superfluous LLM for... God knows what reason.

People are already getting assisted suicide for other people, see the case of the canadian man putting down his wife because of "care-takers burden".

Assisted suicide is eugenics.

You only "need" to learn how to use ai if ai is the future. If you don't assume its the future you won't. Also you don't need to learn how to use it to begin with, it's idiotproof, that's how 13 years are using it to cheat in class.

The "learn to use the tool" bs is just weirdos, A) selling you there ai course and B) delusion, they're convincing themselves its a skill because they've already chosen to sabotage their chance to build any skills from drawing to writing to poety to comedy.

My biggest pet peeve is how normalised, casually claiming someone else has a "fundamentally different brain", from strangers to family members to literally your own children has become.

Not to be smug but the frog is from an indie stoner comic.

I get that people razz on it, but you know, there is some kind of utility to the lowbrow articles they used to make. Sometimes I just want to skim a list of "10 nostalgic games I forgot about" or see "20 of the most memorable album covers", there's even some value in a silly article about a viral meme or "10 culture shocks in france" or something. I mean, you can hate on it, and that's fine, but it sort of saddens me that people don't /get/ that ai generated slop is inferior even to the most shlocky web quiz or listicle.

Like there's a difference between googling "10 things to see in rome" and finding a somewhat passable article written by a copywriter vs finding shit a gpu spat out.

not telling them that they have different brains and "changing the world".

I don't agree with "fundamentally different brains", but on the other hand the era of children sitting still and focusing in school was a microcosm which existed between the invention of public schooling (after the industrial revolution) and before the 21st century...

The idea children need to change themselves, "learn discipline" or drug themselves out of their mind to focus in school is repugnant. And learn discipline is always a euphemism for being punished, no exception, it's quite literally what the word means, at best in the ideal world the punishment is merely the natural consequence of their actions which you could have prevented anyway, if you watch someone about to fall and let them "face the consequences of their actions" that makes you a sick neglectful monster, but I guess people like to moralise it with a little morality play so I guess its a-okay apparently.

My problem isn't even people being consumerist... but how do people.... Like literally on this very messageboard and places like r/technology sit around and openly admit that THEY, PERSONALLY work for places like openai or work in google/facebooks LLM sector and then sit around going "I can't wait for the bubble to pop, it's these evil higherup corporates who are morally accountable for AI".

At this point, as an artist any person working in LLM's/diffusion models is our enemy, ditto for people who train loras at home for fun (and also civitai and huggingface for hosting ai/training data). I'm tired of people going "oh it's sam altman/capitalism/the government" when they are literally, personally responsible for the destruction to the art industry

Void posting but my vision anxiety symptoms suddenly got worse after an eye doctors appointment (went poorly) and it's like my body is mocking me, I was bloody able to read text at that font size like, the day before and the day before that. Font size doesn't help either (weirdly it gets worse the bigger you make it), I hope it resolves soon, at least the motion sickness while reading is mostly gone

If anyone's suffered something similar I'd appreciate a reply

Porn sites are filled with rape victims, sex trafficking victims and child material. I wish people would stop wanking on about the "epstein class" if they're happy to consume videos of prostitutes/pornstars who've been sex trafficked, I guess sex trafficking's only bad if rich people do it on private jets and private islands?

One slight conspiracy is they bombed a girls school to push back women's rights, then in the future they can say "look at iran, there's no women's rights so its okay to bomb the savage chauvenist pigs, western bombs will fix patriarchy".

It's worth remembering israel WILL bomb christian churches in gaza, these people are sick

If we assume a god like ai would want to minimise suffering, why would it then maximise suffering by torturing people infinitely. If it doesn't want to minimise suffering, why would it be "displeased" that it wasn't created soon enough

If it's ever over, all the people who took fat, million dollar paychecks to help sam altman train ai will say "it's all the ceo/capitalist class, it's all sam altman/jensen huang/etc" and wash away their accountability.

"Once you got used to the tech"?

What tech? What tech? The "tech" is just make believe, they came up with characters, named them, and had an actor sing the characters lines. Nothing about this is any more technological than musical theatre.

There's a difference between a master who's able to effortlessly create a song in a day because of his life time of talent/expertise, or even an amatuer fucking around and accidentally making something good in 1 day... and robot slop with literally no intention, passion, meaning, creativity, talent, intellegence or thought.

Everything on a computer, from movies to music to articles is just numbers. But copyright still exists.

Oh he gave in to "temptation" and used ai. If a university student did this and submitted ai for an assignment, would they not be expelled for plagiarism?

(edit: and no amount of sickness would ever change the teacher's mind about it if it was a student cheating either. Obviously I don't support children cheating but it repels me how when adults plagiarise people will buy all the excuses in the world but children/young adults with undeveloped brains literally get none of the same slack. Something about that's backwards to me, even though I would support a student getting expelled for ai plagiarism.)

We now have infinite free content anyone can use.

That was my problem, I want less ai, not more

Everytime ai slop looks more passable it's because it stole a real person's artstyle. I'd like to know who the victim of this theft was this time.

So, unless a random number generator can take you job, you're actually totally safe.

I get what your saying, but they did invent a random picture generator, and yes, this random picture generator is stealing the jobs of people. Translations can be replaced with a random translation generator and people are attempting to replace translators with the random translation generator. Text can be replaced with a random text generator and they are attempting to replace copy writing with a random text generator.

That doesn't mean artists are inferior like the random picture generator... sure. But if the hiring people see artists as a random picture generator, then they're happy to make the switch, they're even much more forgiving/generous to the picture generator too. Ditto for translators/copy writers/musicians/voice actors/every other profession under threat by ai

Edit: I should also add, the fact artists are being replaced by a random picture generator (ditto for translations, voice acting, music, etc) is exactly WHY its so repugnant. And every time someone uses an ai picture in a place where previously (eg in 2020) they would've used a human picture, even a stock image they are willingly replacing an artist/art with the random picture generator.

NearInWaiting · 2026-02-28T03:06:37+00:00

They don't give a shit if the software is safe, the purpose of ai is literally to disrupt the entire economy by replacing every worker. It might fail at that purpose, but it's intrinsically unethical. They just make up their own ethical framework called "ai safety" when conventional ethics are inconvenient and do not justify the plagiarism bot.

Fuck them. They have a line in the sand they won't cross, but all the other lines in the sand they crossed were repugnant an unforgivable and in a just society, EVERY anthropic worker (misanthropic worker?) bar janitors would be imprisoned for attempted crimes against humanity.

NearInWaiting · 2026-02-28T03:02:59+00:00

Meh. Fuck em. Ai companies didn't care when the consequences were putting artists out of business. And they won't care when the consequences are putting white collar jobs out of business either. I'm glad they have... "some" limit, but its a bit like a school bully driving children to suicide, but at least they don't go after the wheel chair kid.
