I don't know of any software platform where that would not happen.
Even with a text-only platform people can still post URLs to unsafe content.
I think OP is referring to some kind of automated scanner but I'm not sure there are publicly available ones. I guess using them would come at a cost - either computational or $$. And even so, there can be false positives so you would probably still have to check the report anyway someday.
If the code base is arcane enough, code reviews won't matter. You just won't understand at all what is happening there. And the "Martin" will probably pressure you to accept anyway by telling the bosses "I can't work, they won't accept my code reviews".
Absolutely. Just yesterday I tried asking stable diffusion to draw me "An elephant and a monkey dance while two cheetahs drink punch. The elephant and monkey look very happy. The cheetahs look bored."
It drew me two elephants with monkey hair and two cheetahs. No punch, no dance.
If what you ask is somewhere in the bank of images it will draw it. But if what you ask is a situation the AI has never encountered before in any image, it will fail to invent it.
If all artists used AI we would be stuck on a loop of content that is not novel. Years from now we would stop seeing amazing incredible art. There would be no evolution at all in the styles.
I am glad that there are artists who continue to draw without AI even if it must be hard for them.
Sorry if I missed it, but do you have a specific example where the proposed help was denied by the maintainers? A case where they clearly acted against it such as a merge request denial, prematurely closing the issue or explicitly telling contributors to not contribute on that?
Given that it's still a newish project I do not find it abnormal to have broken features though I understand that it must be frustrating to have to deal with issues like that.
If a benevolent user were to work on fixing such bugs perhaps the problem would get solved ? Maybe once the new contributors catch up, one of them will make development in that direction ? Or do you believe there is really no hope for the project in that regard ?
From the AMA you linked it sounds like the Lemmy maintainers are just two and are unable to deal with all the missing features. They made it sound like it might stabilise in the future and they are still trying to make it scale.
I read their reply as this : there are many things to implement and moderation is not a priority compared to other features. Do you know if someone made a PR about adding more moderation features? Was it accepted or turned down?
Similarly doing nothing more than asking for more details on the technical problems we are struggling with, without a firm grasp of the existing issues with Lemmy or the history of conversations and efforts we’ve put in is not good faith either. We’re not interested in people trying to pull a gotcha moment on us or to make us chase our tails explaining the numerous problems with the platform
This is understandable but leaving platform is a big decision and the technical reasons are not really clear. Or at least they are not really crystal clear from the posts I have read. As end users we don't really have much of a choice except to trust you.
Personally one example I have is the lack of moderation tools. I have read numerous times that it was a problem. But I do not know what it means practically speaking - what is missing exactly.
You do not have to explain it and I am not asking it of you. But I just want to say that I feel like there are details that sound to be very relevant to your future decision but are yet undisclosed. Or maybe I just missed them
Thanks for all the work into making Beehaw what it is today. I joined during the Reddit exile and I'm happy to have found this community. I hope it continues to thrive
There are big misconceptions about game development jobs. People tend to think that implementing X or Y feature "surely can't be that hard". They have absolutely zero experience in game design or game programming and yet they take on such a condescending level when you read their posts.
Programming is hard. Balancing is hard. Developing a game while you have a whole player base against you is hard. The game industry is most infamously known for its crunch times and high turnover rates. And yet players do not respect that.
Whenever a game gets released at all, it's such a ton of work that have been done. Even if the game turns out to be not as fun as people wanted. Or even if there are bugs. In fact, i am sure that half of the people that complain aggressively will never do something that impressive in their life, ever.
We should be in awe and respect our fellow devs because this job is one of pure passion.
I see your point but to me that's no different than finding movie stars pretty or find a character from a comics to be hot. It even happened to me to find the character of a book to be hot - although there's no picture, just text. And, honestly, I don't see how that's bad.
No, what is bad in that app is not that men get sexual feelings for AI images. What is bad is that there's this big button "smash" that objectifies women, effectively treating the gender like sex dolls. It also doesn't help because these images are surreal - with features that women do not have in general. If you train your brain to pick up on these fake pics with big breasts, you will perhaps also be selective in real life and find nobody.
That's the two biggest problems I see with that app. But I don't find anything wrong about liking an AI picture by itself.
In that context that word is clearly meant as a synonym to "bang", "fuck" or penetrate. Definitely not to crush an insect
There are several words that would be suited to say "you find her attractive". Like "love" or "like" or just a heart emoticon. No need to have a paragraph on that button
You imply that men are soft compared to women. Don't you find that sexist?
My personal take: misogynism should never be tolerated. Same for misandry, because it is no better than misogynism. We should strive for gender equality and treat each others as equals (including non-binary genders).
Saying how men are inferior or worse than women is never constructive or even helpful against the patriarchy. On the contrary it might even fuel the hate in some persons. That's what I think anyway.
If you have ever printed a photo of your SO, haven't you ever thought "Yeah they are pretty on that photo" ?
How would it be any different for men who look at a picture of a women ? No matter the medium used (ink, pixels..).
Yeah, these pictures do not come from real people. But they do remain pictures. If you look at AI generated images of beautiful landscape, you will still find those landscapes to be beautiful although they have been generated by AI.
The looks is one of the possible drive for sexuality. It's probably the most obvious and most accessible one. Now there is a big gap between sexual desire and serious relationships - people can find someone to be sexually desirable (as in, they probably wouldn't say no to a sexual experience assuming they are free to do so) and yet not want to get in relation with them
I think we should not be rejecting our sexual impulses. We have all the right in the world to find people to be sexually beautiful or not. It's best to accept it than to say "Stop it ! It's bad to like a woman because of her curves!". However, we should be aware that our impulses are just that - impulses- and that it should never become obsessive ; and we must always remain respectful of the other persons, including their privacy (it would be disrespectful to stare openly at someone just because we find them pretty)
I really don't like this idea that "men should figure out what women find attractive". This goes against the idea of being natural - it puts useless pressure on men who are not able to find a partner, as the implicit message is really "You could not find a partner because you don't know what women find attractive".
I mean, if I were to say the same sentence but with the roles reversed "women should figure out what men find attractive" you would most probably call me a sexist. See the problem?
Here is what all men should know : attractiveness is a matter of taste. As long as the guy is healthy and respectful, eventually he will find someone. Knowing that, he should get confident and not be afraid to propose dates.
Even if the commit message is concise, there is a difference between what the patch does on a technical level and what the end user will see as a result.
IMO the solution is to link each commit to an issue or a ticket - some high-level description of the feature the commit implements - but there still has to be someone who makes the effort of making sure each commit is linked to a ticket and who nags the devs when they forget to do so..
I don't know of any software platform where that would not happen.
