Clearly competent moderators have some sort of effect, or these stories would not exist. If self-moderation worked, then the dangerous canning post mentioned in the article wouldn’t have gained any traction.
Without competent moderation, the ability for users to manipulate or derail communities grows. A voting system is entirely subjective, and a bad or dangerous idea can set roots if enough unaware people give it the votes.
I am aware that moderation is also subjective, but competent, knowledgeable mods can help guide a community, or protect it from targeted harassment.
Also, they’re the ones with no life who can devote their time to monitoring the community. Most people spend a few minutes at a time visiting a community. That’s not enough time to verify every post in the last 24 hours, and vote for them all accordingly (depending on the size of the community of course),
Then just move to the suburbs where your 100k is worth more… and where the 100k jobs don’t exist… or the commute to the 100k jobs is over an hour each way… dummy
I understand that the 3DS and Vita are older handhelds, but it still doesn’t feel right to refer to them as ‘retro’ yet.
Especially I’m the case of the 3DS, it was essentially the latest platform before the Switch.
I’m not staring down the barrel of my own aging mortality. YOU ARE!
Porn has existed forever.
Onlyfans is a type of porn consumption.
A stiff, plastic, clammy-skinned woman with anime proportions isn’t about to replace the social intimacy that people get from OF.
And yes, I know that there are some really good AI gen’s images out there, but it’s a different market entirely.
And if I want porn, there are a million sites for images and videos that don’t require a machine to steal the likenesses of a thousand women to output the most generic bland porn I’ve ever seen.
If AI is going to replicate the social and porn aspects of the industry, so you really think the creators aren’t going to exploit horny idiots out of their money?
That’s the thing. I wasn’t a knower.
I live in Australia, and can recognise one person of the nine mugshots I’ve seen today.
This is the first I’m hearing about mugshots, and the thumbnail image of the knockoff Purge killers was my first impression. I’m about as unknowing as you can get.
I think it is easy to dismiss “people” as dumb or uninformed, but people generally have pretty good instincts before their news outlet of choice starts spinning.
I think it makes them look deranged.
Seeing the mugshot thumbnails before reading the title, I assumed it was a story about a couple of crazy murderers.
I know with context that these people are evil trash, but I don’t think even for the Ill-informed that a smiling mugshot conveys innocence..
While I am no fan of the NYT and other news site’s pricing models, I don’t think that this goes against “protecting the press”.
Journalists do a job. They research, compile, draft, and write articles in their own voice (or the voice of the news outlet). They are paid for this work.
OpenAI wants to scrape the words off news sites so that their language model can regurgitate them for free.
This is the AI Art thing all over again. Creators should be paid for their work.
Not sure I vibe with this. Just from the trailer it feels a little generic story-wise, and the gameplay felt like a MOBA, which I’ve found is fine for the length of a match, but don’t think I could handle for a whole game.
So your suggestion is to not play the open-world part of the open-world game?
