“I personally have had bad experiences with independent artists, so that means that the wholesale theft of human-produced art for training data, as well as the economic, environmental, and social cancer of the physical hardware needed to generate my oh-so-much-easier AI slop is perfectly acceptable in my morally bankrupt worldview.”

Fixed it for you.

And yet, the very thoroughly documented variation in gender across the vast panoply of nature is somehow unpopular with you.

Shocking, how there’s no accounting for the blind spots in some people’s otherwise intelligent brains.

Well, you win. This is definitely going to be unpopular.

Yeah, but destruction and loss of life isn’t the point. Terror is. If a dirty bomb was detonated in a city, and it contained enough nuclear material to say, cause a 10% jump in cancer outlooks over a 20 year period, that’s not the point.

The point is that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission needs to come out, shut a city down, do all sorts of testing, clean the shit out of everything, and disrupt everyone’s lives. The fear is the point, and as a fear-causing weapon, radiation is in a unique class all its own.

So, free as long as anyone who actually makes a living from their art doesn’t use it?

Sounds very helpful to the global art community.

Spez can eat my ass in hell if he thinks he’s getting any more of my info.

This one’s a shame. Oh, well. Guess Square Enix is dead to me now.

Now do one for identifying things that are free of subscription bullshit!

Oh, wait. Forgot who I was talking to…

OP thinks that people shouldn’t be allowed to have conversations about things they enjoy or that interest them.

OP is obviously not an expert on how communities or social interaction works.

Here’s the study.

Care to prove how it’s not real?

Yup. That’s not concerning at all.

Meta said at the outset that they were fully transparent.

Pass on further delegating my brain to a machine.

“Give us more data so we can take any of the effort out of deciding what to like.” is a big miss for me.

I’ll happily take my 30 minutes of scrolling Bandcamp and YouTube at bedtime for new artists if it means that my preferences and habits are none of your fucking business.

“The videos included DOGE members unable or unwilling to define DEI; discussing how they used ChatGPT and terms such as “black” and “homosexual” to flag grants for termination but not “white” or “caucasian,” and acknowledgements that despite their aggressive cuts they failed to achieve the stated goal of lowering the government deficit.”

Good to know! The last time I looked into it was early last year, good to know it works good for you.

The only thing stopping me from switching is the unreliability of updates to uBlock on forked versions of Firefox.
