  • 'It's just this one that is rotten to the core'

    'Oh and this one'

    'Oh this one too huh'

    'Oh shit the other one as well'

    Yeah you're not convincing me of shit. I haven't even mentioned the goddamn digital slavery these operations are running, or how this shit is polluting our planet so someone somewhere can get some AI Childporn? Fuck that shit.

    You're afraid to look behind the curtains because you want to ride the hypetrain. Have fun while it lasts, I hope it burns every motherfucker who thought this shit was a good idea to the motherfucking ground.

  • True, with the acknowledgement that this was their plan all along and the research part was always intended to be used as a basis for a product. They just used the term 'research' as a workaround that allowed them to do basically whatever to copyrighted materials, fully knowing that they were building a marketable product at every step of their research

    That is how these people essentially function, they're the tax loophole guys that make sure you and I pay less taxes than Amazon. They are scammers who have no regard for ethics and they can and will use whatever they can to reach their goal. If that involves lying about how you're doing research when in actuality you're doing product development, they will do that without hesitation. The fact that this product now exists makes it so lawmakers are now faced with a reality where the crimes are kind of past and all they can do is try and legislate around this thing that now exists. And they will do that poorly because they don't understand AI.

    And this just goes into fraud in regards to research and copyright. Recently it came out that LAION-5B, an image generator that is part of Stable Diffusion, was trained on at least 1000 images of child pornography. We don't know what OpenAI did to mitigate the risk of their seemingly indiscriminate web scrapers from picking up harmful content.

    AI is not a future, it's a product that essentially functions to repeat garbled junk out of things we have already created, all the while creating a massive burden on society with its many, many drawbacks. There are little to no arguments FOR AI, and many, many, MANY to stop and think about what these fascist billionaire ghouls are burdening society with now. Looking at you, Peter Thiel. You absolute ghoul.

  • Tell me, is this huge stockpile underneath Al Shifa hospital? No? Not in their 'secret headquarters'? All you found was a half dozen rusty aks, some grenades and a random assortment of ammunition? Being guarded by our good Hamas friends Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

  • They gave the wmd 'intel' to lawmakers who were then pressured into supporting the illegal US invasion of Iraq.

    Not much has changed since then. Hell, the Afghanistan Papers detailed how everyone in the intelligence community knew the war was a lost cause, but it still came as a shock to most law makers.

  • It feels like a bit of 'old internet' died with him, where he's always been an internet optimist and someone who has lived through basically all of it. He stuck to his principles through all of it. And I guess that has become a rarified breed.

    Him taking a step back feels like a bit of that old internet of the curiosity, community and creativity of the early days of the internet go with him. Mind you he's not going anywhere except the people he cares about and I completely understand the choice he made, and I only wish the best for him, so this is just me attempting to explain why it feels so confronting and kind of sad. For me it goes beyond 'oh there just won't be anymore of those videos then', which I can live with although it would be sad to see those go. It's his personality that has, through the entire history of youtube and the many, many changes it went through, stuck to the principles of its first ever users. Be curious, be authentic, and generally just try shit out and see if it works.

    I'm sure that core of the personality he showed on screen will never really go away, other people will carry that torch. But it's ok to be a little sad to see someone wave off like this. It shows us all how much we enjoyed it all these years.

    Also as a MINOR sidenote on the meme, he never refused to explain, you couldn't stop this man from explaining if you tried lol

  • 'Prevents you from moving'

    Buddy I can walk just fine but if you ask my hypermobile and asthmatic ass to run, I'm just not going to. I can't. My legs and lungs are fucked up. Guess I don't get the extra bonus, oh well. Sucks.

    If you're heavy, running can be a real challenge. 'Promoting fitness' isn't done through a braindead scheme like this. Not for people who need guidance and help to get into a body shape they can be happy and healthy in.

    You know who will get the extra bonus? Healthy people who are able to run, and who have no health conditions to begin with.

    You are really, really underestimating the range of disabilities people can have while they can still function at their jobs. And how this braindead scheme excludes people for things outside of their control.

    And also, 'not be a slob'. Am I a slob because I can't just run a mile? You take my legs that bend like a silly straw and my lungs that collapse in on themselves and feel like they're filled with cat litter that is on fire, and see if you run a mile.

    Jfc calling us slobs. Go fuck yourself.
