I get fash ads on facebook claiming that Qatar is invading Europe. I report them every time I see them

She Ra was superb on that front, but representation matters even if its done badly

It does now and has for years, but at first they didn’t realise how stupid Kool Desktop Environment sounded

“It’s too fast” is a really really dumb argument against AI

Wow, op got pissy!

I use servers extensively, for several communities (some small like my weekly RPG game servers and my book club, some much bigger like the AI art servers I’m on), all of which have multiple channels which are used for different things. Correct me if I’m wrong but afaik Signal (and Molly which I’d previously not heard of) doesn’t do that

It being closed source is unfortunate, not being very privacy friendly is certainly not good but I don’t think there have been any major leaks have there?

I know ideally one wouldn’t use Discord at all

Why? What have they done that I am unaware of?

I buy most of my games on steam simply because it makes running them on Linux so damn easy, and I remember the bad old days when it was hell!

I use YTS for movies, and then TorrentGalaxy, BTMet and sometimes BTDigg for everything else

how??? How does someone wanting it less but having more money to throw around that you mean they want it more?

If I want the handle fizz I’ll pay about $10 if someone wants to pay more then they want it more than me.

No, if someone is willing to pay more than you they may want it less but also value their money less because they have a lot of it, or they may think they can use it to make more money than you are willing to pay for it. capital=power, not desire

VLC?

Extra spicy, hut the kind of spicy you get on your anus after shitting out a too-hot meal

Not everything anti-Ai is luddite, some is just poorly thought through or downright incorrect, this is absolutely a luddite take

Then it is horrifically badly written. Maybe get an AI to give it a once over?

Top quality luddite opinions right here. Plenty of fear and oprobium being directed against the technology, while taking the kleprocratic capitalism and kakistocracy as a given that can’t be challenged.

Absolutely that, and fascism

Steve Bannon was quoted as wanting to create an “international network of nationalists”

Direct your ire where it belongs - at capitalism not technology

You’re fundamentally wrong and presenting a bad-faith argument in an insulting manner. Please shut up

This is why humans are involved in the process. Your counterargument is shallow and flawed

What’s that got to do with the price of fish?

My entire point is that people are blaming AI when the problem is… not AI!

Why not?

No I agree. Keep going… Why are you therefore daemonising AI rather than focusing your ire where it belongs?

That’s a… Random comparison

You’re so close. Keep going. Where’s the root cause of the problem?

Your complaint here is entirely with capitalism and has nothing to do with AI. It’s a legitimate concern, but it;s fart larger problem than new ways of making pictures. Aim your opprobrium at the correct targets

There’s nothing to elaborate on. It’s a stupid position put about by luddites and perpetuated by people with no understanding of the subject. It’s so not on target it’s not even wrong!

tools to strip the best parts of humanity away from us so that AI can do creative activities like poetry and art

Yeah that’s a bullshit take on AI

Wow, that’s a… take I guess

I don’t know, if gnome were better we might be able to answer that😛

Yeah but then you have to use gnome when you could be using kde

I use Mullvad and have never had a problem… but they have just stopped allowing port forwarding if that matters to you

And?

The original Doom and Doom II still unironically kick arse. There are updated engines that allow fancy things like looking up and down the the mouse but other than that (and maybe making the graphics prettier) there’s very little you could do to improve those games

Oh, well if we’ve come this far let’s get on with it!

I was discussing trebucheting politicians off the white cliffs of Dover earlier today on Discord. Not gonna do that either. Sadly.

Seconding Anna’s archive. Amazing resource

Also a valid point
