I stand by my opinion that learning systems training on copyrighted materials isn’t the problem, it’s companies super eager to replace human workers with automation (or replace skilled workers with cheaper, unskilled workers).

I mean it's the heart of the issue.

OpenAI isn't even the big issue regarding this. It's other companies that are developing and training specialized LLMs on their own employees. These companies have the capital to take the loss on the project because in their eyes it'll eventually turn into a gain as long as they get it right eventually.

GPT and OpenAI is just a minor distraction in regards to what is being cooked up behind the scenes, but I still wouldn't give them a free pass for that either.

It doesn't take too many traitors to the party to ruin any attempts at passing progressive legislation sadly. Even if it's not the usual suspects like Sinema or Manchin someone will always step up, and if they don't get voted back into office later then they'll just cash in those connections with a lobbying firm.

There are merits for it and against it. My biggest concerns would be privacy regarding data scrapers .

Regarding poor behavior, I really think that ultimately comes down to moderation on the platform. I've only had a few poor experiences but I am also someone who sometimes sees certain threads as dumpster fires and refrains from joining in or refrains from responding when I feel there isn't any form of discussion or chatter to be had. I can understand that it likely happens more often than not but I also believe that moderation is the only reasonable way of curbing it. Moderation teams have to make it clear that the behavior is not welcome and that it will be dealt with.

Someone leaked their discord and there were a lot of instances of them discussing grooming as an avenue to creating their "perfect high value male" or whatever they called it.

Would've thought FDS had been shut down by now after the grooming scandal.

Not sure what anyone expected. This is just how conservatives are. These people have no morals or beliefs other than doing whatever is best for them at the current moment in time and they won't even bother to disguise or hide it.

What do you want them to do besides increasing security?

No one wants to vindicate the guy by preemptively taking action against him for the uprisings that haven't yet occurred even if we're absolutely certain that they will in fact happen.

Biden is retiring after this term. Even though he has the power and can offer valid reason for enacting an official act against Trump I don't think he wants to be responsible for sparking any sort of conflict or be known for it after he retires. The man has done a lot already, this isn't a burden that falls squarely on his shoulders. It's our burden as a country.

Walz is what gives me hope.

Harris taking up the candidacy was great. It felt good to be listened to but the hype wore off quickly as you realized that the party itself had not changed, only the face. She's also been quietly changing her stances on some issues, shifting around center right. The Biden-Harris administration does have its own achievements but it tends to feel like the rest of the Democrat party where you're voting more so for ideals which may or may not be implemented. Walz is more than talk though and it's not like he hasn't faced some of the same hurdles that other Democrats have either.

Walz is entirely what keeps me from feeling like I'm just voting to keep Trump out right now.

A lot of people seem to be missing the point.

There is nothing wrong with sex work or having an OnlyFans. There is absolutely a lot wrong with the fact that the top athletes of our world who perform on the top athletic stage of the world are destitute to the point of having to fund themselves this way. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe anyone should have to use this as a last resort either but it's very telling of society as it currently is when these people are having to do so.

He's probably nervous regarding GOP fearmongering.

Any attempts by him to shore up security around the election will be labeled by Republicans as tampering and he probably doesn't want to be responsible for anything to come out of that especially if he's going into retirement after this term.

Obviously they're going to fearmonger regarding election results anyways despite being the ones who are more than likely going to attempt to alter the results but it'd still be adding fuel to the fire that he'll have to deal with. Don't really need to have the entire discussion on Republicans, their lack of logic and Democrats sometimes not quite being up to the task of dealing with the dumb fuckery put forth by them.

He'll have my utmost respect if he goes above and beyond to do this anyways though.

It's a shitposting meme. The poster has this pinned on their twitter:

That said... I have heard horror stories about poor theater staff finding cucumbers after the 50 shades premiere. Some of it was just people memeing and trying to prank but I'm not entirely sure about all of it.

Even if AI was absolutely impeccable it will always feel better to use products that involve real human beings.
