GenAI isn’t a bad thing though.

Yeah, sorry

That’s also not rational, but at least it’s consistent so it’s an improvement.

Anyway banning them is impossible, even if one country bans it, all the other countries will still have them - the internet is the whole world, remember? And even then, LLMs would still exist too, and arguably those are far more significant.

Artists aren’t proletariat if their job is “artist”.

Yeah but that should be okay as long as he’s getting it from legitimate places (rarbg, official fitgirl site, cs.rin.ru, rutracker etc).

I’ve not had an AV for like 10+ years, had defender disabled with GPO as soon as I installed W10 and had no issues.

The best AV is your brain. Obviously if you download GTA_6 _(Brazil)_by_xP3tYa1337x.pdf.html with an embedded .hta directly from an IP address in Kamchatka and you have IE installed then yeah maybe you need to give things a manual scan pass with defender or malwarebytes (or just toss it in a VM) once in a while but otherwise you’re golden.

Even most vulns today labeled 0day are either unexploitable or require the user to be a dumb motherfucker.

Trust me.

Where?

I don’t care if it’s harmful to artists. “Artist” is not a real job, it’s something you nepo-babies can do in your free time outside of cooking McRibs or mining Lithium like the rest of working class folks.

I’ve never paid for digital content and I ain’t about to start.

Dw artbros and other corporation defenders will get curbstomped by the closed-source ones instead, not only will you be out of employment, but you will be unemployable without a ChatGPT subscription, and Altman/Musk/whoever will be worth trillions as a result. But at least it won’t be “plagiarism” because the lobbyists will ensure that it’s all nice and legal.

And the worst part is you honestly deserve it for not listening to us.

Also, this is you:

As always, the anprims/luddites/ecofashues are like an anvil to left-wing ideas of progress, we’re too busy arguing amongst ourselves to make a stand to protect open source AI from regulation.

Honestly I blame Hbomberguy personally. People were a lot more open-minded before he tacked on that shitty little AI snark at the end of his plagiarism video.

Incredibly well-put. IP is just land for the wannabe landlords of information and culture.

They are just attempting to squeeze the working class dry, take the last freedoms we have so we have to use their corporate products.

it copies nothing more

it’s just remixes of things that already exist.

So it does do more than copying? Because as you said - it remixes.

It sounds like the line you’re trying to draw is not only arbitrary, but you yourself can’t even stick with it for more than one sentence.

Everything new is some unique combination of things that already exist, the elements it draws from are called sources and influences, and rules according to which they’re remixed are called techniques/structures e.g. most movies are three acts, and many feature specific techniques like J-cuts.

Heck even re-arranging elements of just one thing is a unique and different thing, or is your favourite song and a remix of it literally the same? Or does the remix not have artistic value, even though someone out there probably likes the remix, but not the original?

I think your confusion stems from the fact you’re a top shelf, grade-A Moron.

You’re an organic, locally sourced and ethically produced idiot, and you need to learn how basic ML works, what “new” is, and glance at some basic epistemology and metaphysics before you lead us to ruin because you don’t even understand what “new” entails, before your reactionary rhetoric leads us all down straight to cyberpunk dystopias.

Just don’t use one. Just don’t download anything dodgy and you’re golden.

To the cheer of so-called progressives who never understood the tech and continue to be wilfully ignorant of it the corporations win again.

If the goal is to block out all progressives, won’t you also have to block individual users who are not of that instance, but are still active within?

I’m so sorry. Landlords are absolute lowest of the low, bastards among bastards.

I’ve seen this image pop up now and then for like 10+ years as a meme in the Linux community and never not once did I think this.

Obviously if that’s a confirmed intention behind it, then it’s not okay, but I think you’re overthinking it, it’s just how anime designs are, the characters often look agelessly young.

These look like pretty average anime characters to me and don’t strike me as implying something problematic in the slightest.

Idk I’m an outside observer to weeb shit, but that’s how I always interpreted it at least.

It’s a meme, ya dunce. I don’t think anyone is furiously jerking it to the Debian logo just because it has some poorly drawn animeys next to it.

or perhaps better to be anti-racist in the sense of “I oppose the concept of racism”.

True. To me it is this, and opposition to systemic structures that actively enable it, which often intersect with the same systems that enable other forms of oppression.

I firmly consider myself an ally. I do not know best, and I cannot really take action as I would not know what to do. I fully agree on that 👍

True
