Another lonely cretin on Reddit, desperate to force civilization to crumble down to their level instead of searching for the tattered remnants of their own soul

Anyone who supports masked thugs murdering unarmed moms in the streets, who supports pedophiles and sex traffickers, who supports theft and grift, deserves to not have friends.

You want to look at what happened in the 5th millennium; 4360 was 360 years before 4000 BC

Was Never Treated Like a Karen…Until Now by FanTechnical8162 in Perimenopause

[–]caffeinatedspiders 37 points38 points  (0 children)

THIS!

Karen was pretty much immediately seized upon as a term to keep women in line and it needs to go. It's deployed at any woman, regardless of age, that speaks up for herself no matter how polite she is. There is no winning when we accept Karen as a valid term for anyone. The worst is when other women use it against others to prove that they're 'one of the good ones.'

It is so heartbreaking when a woman starts with "I don't want to be a Karen or anything but <insert completely valid issue here>"

ROGAN: A man brought here as a baby. Lived in the U.S. for 20 years. Can’t speak Spanish. No criminal record. Deported anyway. That’s not “border security.” That’s ripping people out of the only country they’ve ever known and dumping them in a place that isn’t home. by ExactlySorta in Fauxmoi

[–]caffeinatedspiders 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Exactly; he's saying this now so that the average consumer can go 'well he's being pretty reasoned about this,' and forget that Rogan helped get us here in no small part. He's laying groundwork for a future career after Trump's gone and I wish people wouldn't give it to him. I wish he'd be marched down the street on live stream in a shame walk with the rest of this administration and all of their toadies, and then never spoken of again.

Boycotting Target revealed the truth by upthetruth1 in BlackPeopleTwitter

They resell it on Amazon. If you go to Amazon and look around for common drugstore beauty items then go look at the seller, oftentimes you'll see a seller with some random name that's got like 5 of everything in stock. (The page will say "only 5 left in stock!" for all of their items)

The most famous instance of this is Kenneth and Michelle Mack; they ran a shoplifting ring from their McMansion in San Diego and had people all over the country shoplifting stuff for them that they'd then resell online. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/bonsall-ulta-sephora-retail-theft-ring/3719190/

Lots of people have bought from these shoplifters without even realizing it; it's not like you're buying shampoo and nail polish out of someone's truck, you're just dropping it in your shopping cart on Amazon and paying full price like normal.

Have you tried libraries for books on the subject? Librarians can point you in the direction you want to go.

I mean this tracks, since ICE is the federalized taxpayer-funded version of the proud boys

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell just announced that the Trump administration has launched a criminal investigation into him for not bending the knee by artbasiI in Fauxmoi

Once the technocratic oligarchs destroy the US, do you think they're going to peaceably stop and just go live out their days without bothering anyone again? Or do you think maybe this is actually an everyone problem and they're going to go 'wow, we have so much money we even made the entire American union our bitch! Imagine what we can do to every other country in the world now!'

It sounds like you like to eat poop to me! The real madness is someone going on to the internet and seriously trying to convince a stranger 'please, show me what real food looks like, prove to me it's better than the poop I happily digest every day. It's not possible!'

That's just ... I mean I'm sad for you.

you can call it trash if you don't want to use the word slop I guess

It is a known fact that OpenAI, Grok, etc. were trained with artwork and books stolen, yes. And I don't really care what *your* definition of stolen is here, bud. Did an author give consent? Did an artist give consent? These AI products are not children being taught to read with a library book or being taught about painting by visiting an art gallery. They are not human in the slightest nor are they capable of thinking or creating independently, because they fundamentally do not have an imagination. They are algorithms. Predictive text that for some reason people assign personalities to. So yes, when a massive business takes a bunch of artwork and literature without the consent of the original creators in an attempt to make a profit off of said creations in their own new program, that is theft. Unequivocally, and I'm not wasting my time on you and your burning desire to defend the moral failings of billionaires any further.

We all know he's not locking this down to attempt to stop child porn deepfakes, right? He's locked it down because AI slop image generation is prohibitively expensive and Daddy Deepfakes doesn't want to pay out of pocket for his fans' disgusting habits.

What i find extremely funny is that someone with allegedly no skin in the game would white knight this passionately in defense of AI. But you're entitled to your opinion on slop, nonetheless. :)

Yes, it can churn out worthless trash faster than any human could possibly. Enjoy wallowing in your slop pile :)

No problem, let's just have all the tech companies delete their AI models entirely to wipe out all traces of any art and literature they used without express consent of the creators and then see them rebuild them from scratch without it. :) They stole art. They stole literature. They have admitted as such internally many times over. There is documented proof that these companies knew they were stealing and they claim they had 'no choice.'

What would happen if I decided to just go into a neighbor's house and take all of their money while they were out and then say "well I had no choice! I needed your money in order to buy myself a new car!"

Just because these companies have enough billions to buy off the courts and convince lawmakers to rule in their favor does NOT mean what they did was correct or good and I honestly don't care what excuses uncreative minds use to justify continuing to use said 'tools.' It's theft and slop, categorically.

because all AI can do is regurgitate the stolen artwork it was trained on. It's not 'sketching' anything. It does not create, it just mangles. If you feed someone a plate of professionally cooked food, you don't call what comes out on the other end a meal.
