Ignoring the fact you havent made any factual arguments, would it be rude to point out your comment history in turn?

Even basic LLMs can take in context of your entire conversation history. Not that a braindead luddite would actually know anything about AI.

But ya know, keep being an insufferable cunt because people use a computer program you don’t like, like the fucking loser you are.

Yup, sure sounds like you have a master in AI and robotics when you have to harass people & call them insufferable cunts for disagreeing with the ethics behind what you apparently study. Obviously you’re definitely not morally grandstanding in the slightest.

Hope lying on the internet works out for you tho ✌️

Except that using art for training data isn’t remotely the same.e as trying to claim ownership of it. So this is a nonsense comparison as well. You’re the one relying on strawman arguments here.

So they’re profiting off of the works of others with no credit given, no financial compensation offered and no consent from the actual artists. What would you call that if not theft?

Its more accurate to compare it to say, someone watching a bunch of studio Ghibli films then using that as reference to draw their own ghibli styled art… which people do all the time and you guys don’t get mad at them for that.

Which is because they’re using a reference to create their own art. I’m not sure how you think machine learning works but I can tell you there is no actual “learning” involved. What it produces is a direct result of the data (stolen work) it’s trained on. If you genuinely think a machine is capable of producing original art you’re attributing human traits to AI in a way that shows you fundamentally misunderstand the capabilities of image generation models as well as all current AI.

I don’t use that opinion to go on a moral crusade.

Meanwhile two comments ago…

The same people saying shit like “if buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing” are calling training AI on publically available data “stealing”

If I was wrong on any topic I’d love to be enlightened as to why but your arguments so far have boiled down to insults, strawmans and “no, you’re actually doing the thing that you called me out for doing!” At the point that’s what you have to result to in order to “win” a debate I would be heavily considering if the opposing party has a point instead of doubling down on the third grade argument tactics. 👍 Have a lovely day

It’s the same logic as saying someone tracing another persons art and passing it off as their own to make money is theft because that’s essentially what they’re doing. Except they’re scraping the internet in order to feed millions of artists’ works without their consent to a machine that approximates what “art” is supposed to look like.

This is the same braindead logic as people saying downloading someone else’s NFT is stealing.

If someone stole an artist’s work and passed it off as an NFT as has happened many times that’s also an example of theft. I know that’s not the strawman you’re presenting but that is the actual NFT equivalent of what we’re discussing. But yes, conflate it with downloading an image so you can call me braindead instead of formulating an argument.

It’s fine if you personally enjoy slop, there’s plenty of it out there now. But if you’re gonna try to morally grandstand about it you may as well just say you don’t think artists deserve to be paid for their own work and be done with it.

Because obviously pirating games & shows for personal use does the same amount of harm as a corporate entity stealing the work of hundreds of thousands of writers and artists in order to turn a profit

Seriously, I’m here to look at artists’ work, not computer generated slop

Is this that “biological advantage” I hear so much about?

I said I hoped Trump got what he deserved. They said it was a death threat

If you ask me it speaks more to what they think he deserves if they instantly assumed you meant death 🤷‍♂️

I hate how even the most “neutral” articles about the heinous shit being done to the US government right now still manage to have a headline that makes it sound like it’s the outrage that’s the issue and not the active attempts by government officials to erase any trace of non-white American history

The incident in Kansas City genuinely does sound like one just caught itself on fire.

In Kansas City, Police Captain Jacob Becchina said in a statement that an officer first observed smoke coming from a Cybertruck parked in a Tesla parking lot. “The officer used his fire extinguisher, however, KCFD was still needed as he could not put the fire out,” Becchina said. “The fire spread to a second Cybertruck parked next to the original burning one. The circumstances are under investigation, but preliminarily, the fire is being investigated for the potential of being an Arson.”

other people have made good suggestions as well but I use Bypass Paywalls Clean as a Firefox add-on and it works great

I think it is just a Voyager thing, on Thunder I see a pink name & cake if a user joined today

I saw someone in a reddit thread about Lemmy earlier complaining that it wasn’t “user friendly” enough because someone posted an infograph on how the Fediverse works. Even though all the infograph was explaining was that you log into one instance and can freely interact with the rest from there…

I’ve always thought the internet should be more decentralized and being able to log in without seeing tons of bots, reposts and propaganda is literally the best aspect of Lemmy for me. This feels like what social media was meant to be. I wish there was an easier way to get people to understand that.

Already got permabanned for saying he was justified, I like it better here anyway

I love them. Being able to check my calendar events, email and grocery list at a glance is invaluable to me because if they weren’t right there on my homescreen I’d completely forget about them

Reading the responses of the women in the comic you seriously think this situation isnt a metaphor for sexual assault?

In your other thread of replies to me you’re stating that it is but we’re supposed to disagree with them. I’m not sure why you feel the need to defend her so strongly that you’re simultaneously making 2 conflicting arguments and completely ignoring the other behavior I mentioned but I’m not really interested in continuing this discussion with you because I’ve presented the facts and it’s clear you’re personally unwilling to consider that this comic was made in bad faith

I don’t want to spam the comments section by copy and pasting the same message twice, but someone else made a similar point so I’ll link my response

https://lemmy.world/comment/15436914

Yes, the comic is satire. The satire is “men getting treated the way female r*pe victims get treated”. Implying that male sexual assault doesn’t happen or that when it does, people actually believe them, when in reality men who are victims of this often just don’t speak up at all because when they are, they’re either not believed, called “gay” for not enjoying it, or it ends up reported with a headline like “female teacher has sex with male student”.

The fact she posted this comic on men’s mental health awareness day and proceeded to engage in arguments with male victims of SA in the comments - who were then banned without a chance to appeal - as well as her past of seeking out her critics to argue with even in other subreddits heavily indicates that this was inflammatory on purpose.

…did you respond to the wrong person or are you just making shit up to be mad at because you don’t have an argument?

Receipts have been posted above. Respectfully, I hope more people realize that when someone tries to paint every single one of their critics as being a misogynistic incel, that its a manipulation tactic. (Even though, yes, reddit is full of those too)

I find it really distasteful that she makes comics “in support” of trans people while denying those born as male can experience sexual assault. It’s just a different, more subtle/socially acceptable form of transphobia.
