I don’t mind condescending to AI salesmen.
If boss Kolanaki can’t replace you with AI, then why is AI passing your classes for you?
I get you want to burn the system, and yay, I love burning things, but it’s kind of irrelevant to the point being made.
It’s just funny that the simple one would win. It’s like a whitebelt getting a technical win against a judo master—it’s just funny that it happened.
Both of these frog images are the work of people, though, which is something AI can’t give you, so…
What is the objective criteria?
and now here you are agreeing that it’s a bad comparison because you think I made it.
No, I think it’s a good comparison. You just don’t understand why I’m making it.
Again, deliberately obtuse.
If a boss thinks it can do the job itself, let it do the job itself.
How does this disagree with Kolanaki, exactly? You’re repeating them.
suggesting that any and all criticism towards any woman on the internet simply must be based on her gender
I haven’t said that. In fact, I specifically said “I wasn’t critiquing their points.”
I have to think you’re being deliberately obtuse. This is actually why I’m being condescending: I don’t think you’re an ally. You are, in your own way, doing the rhetorical ducking and weaving that I’m pointing out.
For example, did I say that gamergate participants were career politicians? Do you think I think they had the ability to pass laws?
then I’m fundamentally asking the same question as you. Why are these people spending so much of their energy defending her?
Uh. Sexism is bad, I think. I believe I’ve been told that.
If you disagree that sexism is happening, then okay. This still answers your question. What more is there for me to do here? Would you like me to give this answer a 4th time?
Lower level math classes still ban the calculator.
Math classes are to understand numbers, not to get the right answer. That’s why you have to show your work.
Does your intimate knowledge of the civil rights era include how people use issues in euphemism to lie about what actually motivates them? You know, the whole reason I even brought up that example.
I’ve never seen this before
That doesn’t even remotely appear to be what is happening here
Okay, realize for a moment that the fig leaf strategy is specifically meant to capture people like you. I know it doesn’t seem that way; that’s the point of them hiding their intent. I’m not critiquing their points, I’m asking why they’re spending so much energy on this. I’ve seen lots of comics I don’t like. I scroll past them.
Here’s a question: Gamergate. Was Anita Sarkeesian really that bad a journalist? Or did people hyper-fixate on her shortcomings for months longer than necessary as a way of damaging the reputations of her and feminism broadly?
You and I both know now, today, that gamergate was bullshit. But did people—maybe you’re very special, but I don’t mean you, I mean people—know back then that “ethics in games journalism” is not really what those people were upset about? Because I don’t know if you remember, but gamergate was pretty popular for a while.
this doesn’t really answer for me why the defensiveness is so over the top
I think they’re attacking a woman they don’t like. That’s in the subtext of my other comment.
I’m not making prescriptions, man, I’m just telling you how people use the word. You have to think about how people use hyperbole.
Mid is often used in reference to things that are culturally popular, and so is a way to denigrate them. In that way, the person is saying “actually, Marvel’s not that good,” or “eh, it’s not really worth your time,” or “you seem kinda stupid for liking trash media so much.”
In other contexts, ‘mid’ can mean ‘average’ just fine: “Not good, not bad. Worth one go around, maybe.” That’s why I said it does and it doesn’t.
Do you remember when Star Wars Episode 7 came out and droves of people had very serious and legitimate criticisms of Rey being a Mary Sue not clearly motivated by Rey and Finn being women and black “DEI hires”? Because I do.
Harassment is a bit more complicated than whether the criticisms seem legitimate or not. Another example: “forced bussing” was an argument republicans invented years ago to appeal to racists who were no longer allowed to say the n-word publically. But that argument was really about “safety,” of course, obviously.
What does this have to do with Pizzacake? I dunno. I do know that posting a comic of hers is a remarkably effective way of getting lemmy’s beehive to start buzzing.
Uh… to whom?
It does and doesn’t.
It means ‘middle’, but to be ‘middle’ in a world of greats is to be lame and worth very little.
Think about it this way: when someone says something sucks, no one ever corrects them “nah, it’s mid,” like in a positive way.
Ah, I remember having these arguments about whether Star Wars 7 should have let Rey be a woman. Uh, I mean, a Mary Sue.
She has an only fans??! o.O zomg
Thanks lemmy566567 for letting me know! I’ll check it out right now!
People hide their AI usage to avoid hate -> making less people aware of the depths of what it can be used for,
This does not follow. People who despise AI still talk about what it’s capable of. In fact, they probably talk about it more.
Actually, hate and anger spread throughout a population far more easily than genuine interest and novelty. I would think our distaste for it would actually be very helpful for propagating information about it.
you should also know why it’s a good tool for misinformation.
Okay, you’re right that it doesn’t suck in that specific way. But spiritually, it sucks very much.
You’re not really talking about counter-propaganda, though, you’re just talking about people… giving up the fight about it? Because it’s annoying to some game devs? When does the action come?
Keep in mind, any counter-propaganda strategy must involve its (AI’s) eventual dismantling or full, legal banishment because a democracy cannot survive a technology that wears people’s skin and drowns out other voices like this. Democracy cannot survive a Dead Internet.
But really, these technologies have little to no bearing on the debate around AI,
They do in the sense that all of them are driven by neophilia and big tent people horny for cash and power. Bitcoin would have been a paradigm shift had it been adopted by society, but it would have been a worse society. Because Bitcoin sucks.
#1 doesn’t have anything to do with liking it, though, that’s just… knowing what it is. I know what it is, and I dislike it. Like a bad movie, it’s really easy to do.
It will make it easier for them to claw AI technology for themselves
Okay, but why do we want it? What does it do for us? So what if only corporations have it: it sucks.
Do you remember bitcoin and NFTs? Those didn’t pan out very well. They were solutions looking for problems. What is it about AI that I should be excited about?
I’m implying it’s undesirable.
some tools are force multipliers in that action, and thus useful in that case.
Sure. And removing those force multipliers from play can affect the state of the game.
When we get enough hammer murders, then we can talk about restricting hammer use.
How… does… AI… solve the problems of corporate AI? What is the strategy?
Uh. Yes.
You are looking for reasons to be upset. Knock it off.
If you must hear me say it: women should stop raping men. There you go. Mission accomplished.
