Or, ya know, everyone who ever wanted to decapitate those stupid fucking Skyrim children. Crime requires damaged parties, and with this (idealized case, not the specific one in the article) there is none.

Ookami38,

Just a point of clarity, an AI model capable of generating csam doesn’t necessarily have to be trained on csam.

Ookami38, (edited )

Why is that? The whole point of generative AI is that it can combine concepts.

You train it on the concept of a chair using only red chairs. You train it on the color red, and the color blue. With this info and some repetition, you can have it output a blue chair.

The same applies to any other concepts. Larger, smaller, older, younger. Man, boy, woman, girl, clothed, nude, etc. You can train them each individually, gradually, and generate things that then combine these concepts.

Obviously this is harder than just using training data of what you want. It’s slower, it takes more effort, and results are inconsistent, but they are results. And then, you curate the most viable of the images created this way to train a new and refined model.

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

The issue is that they’re taking a tool with actual legitimate use cases, particularly maintenance and repair uses, and turning it into something to just push their own service. It’d be like a doctor saying you can only be healthy if you use his brand of fuckin… Vitamins or some shit,I don’t know. It’s got nothing to do with Microsoft, it’s not automatically the worst thing in existence, it’s just that Microsoft CONSISTENTLY does this kind of garbage, and it’s one of those things that isn’t overtly even a bad thing, you just have to look a bit.

So in short, I agree it is(was?) a useful tool, I don’t agree that everyone is rabidly anti-microsoft, any more than anyone’s rabidly anti-get-punched-in-the-taint.

Ookami38,

Oh man, you reminded me of LED magnetic throwies, just little homemade LEDs with a watch battery and a magnet. Throw em wherever they’ll stick, they’re like $.50 to make. Seems like the 00s version, if a little less ubiquitous

Children in wombs can’t use Facebook or Instagram. Those are the only children we care about here.

Relationships are all different and unique. Something that’s cheating to you may not be to this relationship, or vice versa. I’m a proponent of open relationships, with good communication - if we discuss it and there’s no deception, it’s not cheating.

Ookami38,

Weird I didn’t, scrolled back, up, and for a split second, did as well lol

Ookami38,

They say getting angry over imagined Internet points.

Ookami38,

Yeah, those things are still almost entirely word-baaed for me. Low level aphantasia, I can’t form a very clear picture in my head, but my inner monologue does a lot of lifting.

Ookami38,

I had spitballed an idea similar to this a few months back. Build the characters, world, and situations, and give the AI that information. Pick a few specific pieces of info the AI would have to tell you at specific times, basically to act as guide rails. Then, let the AI and the player just… Interact.

Ookami38,

Eh, we weren’t paying for that back in the day anyway.

Ookami38,

Right? This issue only exists because there’s someone with the goal of making money involved. If your goal is to help someone, then it doesn’t really matter that it’s costing a bit. Remove the financial consideration, and it’s a lot easier to stomach “a mentally challenged person vandalized some stuff, but they’re not living on the streets anymore and can actually start getting help”.

Ookami38,

This is more about the dissemination of these terms into popular lingo. There’s an interesting trend of queer scene words getting picked up by the general population, usually starting with the younger generation and spreading out from there.

Subtitle size should vary based on audibility of the current line. The irony is, during those scenes with boats and face masks? The CC box is so big it can only fit a couple of letters at a time, making it ALSO impossible to understand.

Ookami38,

No. But when I’m watching it at home, with dinner, the neighbor does sometimes. It’s almost like they should be mixed differently.

Ookami38,

Then maybe shut up a bit? Let the vibes just go, why you gotta keep talking over em? If you put words in a movie, I’m going to try to interpret those words. If they’re not important, I dare say they can be removed.

Ookami38,

Why Include the dialogue if it’s not meant to be there? Why have the subtitles written out instead of [unintelligible speaking]? Why waste my mental energy on trying to parse which pieces of the talking are important, and which are just, what? Vibe checks? You put those words in your movie for a REASON Christopher, and damnit, I’m going to uncover it.

Ookami38,

It’s not just psychological. You’re expecting a loud experience in a theater. Everyone around you is, too. And the building is designed for it. Versus at home, where I have neighbors, potentially other housemates who aren’t watching, etc.

seen this post elsewhere? click for explanationThis post got banned from !memes for reason “Troll Posting” which is Very Disrespectful in my opinion. 😕 I mean this meme with full respect and love to my fellow community members and I was proud of the discussion and support it was creating. EDIT: POST RESTORED YAY. (Thank...

Ookami38,

Stopping the progressive downfall of society is on all of society, period. What’s the end game of alienating half the race?

You’re right about one thing. Women can’t make men not rape, and it doesn’t really fall to them. Does it fall to the good guys, though? The ones who already don’t rape and stand up to their peers who have toxic ideas? And, really, are you reaching anyone who needs to hear it with rhetoric like this?

Changing society is a game everyone has to be on board with. Everyone makes up society, so you can’t just tell half of them they’re not fit and expect it just to work out. Sure, not all men, but quite frankly I’m tired of having to be “one of the good ones”. We already decided labeling someone one of the good ones wasn’t right with black people, we really need to have that fight again?

Ookami38,

One of these things (bathing) is a trait you can have, and change. The other (maleness) is one that you cannot (reasonably, for most people) change.

It’s easy enough to be told “I don’t want to interact with you because you smell” - I can change that with just a bit of effort. It sucks to hear “I’d rather interact with a bear, because you’re a male.” That’s something I have no control over. You’re telling me that a fundamental aspect of my existence means that I’m a threat to you, and that I can’t be trusted around.

Quite simply, replace “man” with “black person” and try the whole experiment again, you’ll probably see how gross the argument is.

Ookami38,

Toxic masculinity is applying that mentality to something inherent to men. So, man up, sack up, nut up, etc. The implication is that if you are not masculine, you should start being so. You got nuts, use em. Pretty toxic.

How about “grow up” “act an adult” or the like, at least then we’re not tying ability to change and be better with genital status.

Ookami38,

Not gonna bother with the nuance-missing ad hom attacks. Just this one.

We aren’t talking about race, honey. If they think you can just swap labels you REALLY don’t understand what’s going on. No surprise.

If you can’t see that it is 100% an equivalent situation, you have no idea why people are actually upset and just want to join the noise.

Also, don’t call me honey. It’s really degrading, id expect better from someone like you.

Ookami38,

Oh no, I got your intent. Believe me.
