  • Can they????

  • Eeeeh, I dunno about that. If he had been an ass man, people wouldn't have started making fun of people who like ass. They would have just continued making fun of how much he inserts ass into his movies.

    I think even without association with Tarantino, first encounters with foot fetishism would be met with heavy skepticism/suspicion.

  • Teaching myself to paint attempt 3

    Jump

  • If my third attempt at anything was this good, I wouldn't be such a quitter.

  • We won't even get into some of the more egregious attempts to convert existing, real slurs into anti-LLM equivalents, which I have seen and heard other people recount. The word "clanker" is clearly being used as a slur despite lacking a vulnerable target to make it a slur in truth. Just as some people make jokes about a scenario where future androids try to reclaim it as "clanka", it echoes something that I believe needs introspection from more people. Yes, I understand the concept of joke but the premise didn't need explanation because the parallels were already there. We're all saying that LLMs aren't people, let alone vulnerable minorities, but that just seems to convince people to use them because they are "safe".

    If you make up a slur for a nonexistent group, blindly using it with invective, very few people will say "haha, it's fine that they keep using these untargeted, but weirdly-charged, terms because the group doesn't exist".

    If you want to be mad about "AI", go behead a billionaire instead of making posts like "clankers should stay out of art. that's for humans."

  • Yeah, robots and LLMs don't give a shit because they don't think. Which makes it even weirder to try and "demean" it.

    People could insult them normally: call them idiotic wastes of water, energy, and investment but they choose to create slurs that the LLMs can barely parse, let alone internalize. Robots can't think nor have conceptions of themselves as anything that a slur can drag them down from. Which means the slur is entirely self-serving for the speaker. What need is the compulsion to use slurs, even devoid of a valid target, serving? At best, it's flirting with taboos because they're forbidden, like a kid puffing on candy cigarettes.

    Also this isn't a critique against your reply, just sharing a correction, but "distain" is so archaic that I think you meant "disdain". Pardon if you did mean "distain"; it just struck me as odd.

  • I don't think making her yet another dynasty would fix the Sequel series in any way.

  • Not an attack on you, I've just gone off the use of "clanker". Because why do we feel a need to create a slur? It feels weird after some introspection.

  • Batman kills babies

    Jump

  • That doesn't follow smh. If Batman and babies are never in the room at the same time, the most you can say is that Batman might kill babies. In the absence of direct Baman-baby-murder observation, you can only make that claim if Batman enters a room with live babies and leaves a room with dead babies.

    And even that is tenuous.

  • Trump launches ‘large-scale’ attack on Venezuela, captures Nicolas Maduro and wife

    Jump

  • I don't believe these guys have an endgame. They're ignoring the crash and burn as someone else's problem since they're all old as hell, or are sure the money they pilfered will allow them to ride out the wave of devestation.

  • Elon Musk’s AI Grok Goes Rogue with Posts Suggesting Trump Is a Pedophile and Erika Kirk Is JD Vance in Drag

    Jump

  • So maybe someone just saw the couch-double making love to her couch-wife in JD cosplay?

    We all owe JDerika Vank an apology.

  • Elijah Radcliffe

    Jump

  • That's just Willem Dafoe.

  • yaoi rule

    Jump

  • It's not a contradiction, although I also thought that for a bit. I think with《"a [b]" c》, "a [b]" is describing the artists' sexual orientation, not the subject of the drawing.

    So that's gay men's depiction/conception of yaoi.

  • Fuck it, time for TES rules

    Jump

  • You are right that the Cyrodiilic Empire is a indoor house cat instead of a lion, in Skyrim. Letting your enemy patrol your lands to emforce their demands isn't the posture of a rival in a truce, but of a loser.

    But that doesn't mean Ulfric and his Stormcloaks are not racist conservatives. It can be both. That seems to be the point of Skyrim: choosing between two shitty politics.

    1. Where did it show the maximum?

  • Fuck it, time for TES rules

    Jump

  • Eh, Skyrim had been part of the empire for ages without much issue. I don't think the problem is directly with the oppression of Talos worship as it is about what it stands for. Talos was a Man (vs a Mer) who became a Divine, a deity. The Stormcloaks is a rebellion of people who already didn't like the armistice coopting nationalism and religious dissatisfaction over the only Man-god being pulled down.

    It's very racial, as evidenced by them focusing on Nord-centric populism, and discriminating against ancestries that aren't even part of the Aldmeri Dominion like Dunmer and Argonians.

  • Study of men who embodied a young woman in VR finds they felt disgust & anger when catcalled

    Jump

  • That feels like a bad SDW. Can you explain the reason(s) for going with a scalpel?

  • AI-made videos using attractive young women promote Poland's EU exit

    Jump

  • Poland's exit isn't the breaking of the EU. It's proving a plan of attack that will break it.

    Slowly chipping away at the edges. Attacking country by country with misinformation until every country is isolated again, ruled by whatever oligarch decides to set up shop there.

    The point of a union is the united effort. If you start thinking in terms of what parts you can cut out without issue or to "grow stronger" then you might as well stop the charade and pick who's running the new empire.

  • Bay Area homeowners are hiring a sword-wielding man to help them kick squatters out of empty properties: ‘The average squatter has no melee experience’

    Jump

  • I will admit to being personally aggrieved by the supposition that I'm childish for enjoying fighting things. But I believe there should be a way to interrogate the levels of critical thinking and agency people/players give away in the pursuit of an easy, "clear" target without making prescriptive, defamatory remarks about how people have fun in fiction.

  • Average ideological debate

    Jump

  • It's mocking people that engage in bad-faith ideological debates.

    Avocado is an essential ingredient in making guacamole, but, by "banning" its mention in the discussion and consequently stymying the opponent, the first figure is assuming and posturing as if they won a legitimate debate.

    Which is so obviously false as to be humorous.

  • China stages record drills designed to encircle Taiwan

    Jump

  • I need to take a shower. I thought the headline was talking about actual drills, and I could only think "what in the Dr. Evil plot could this mean?". As if China was going to drill through the ground and dig up Taiwan.
