"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I have been thinking about this for a long time. Why is it that it bothers people if others see them naked?
According to the scientific worldview starting from 1800, the world is real. That means that things you can touch, exist. And things that can not be measured don't exist. Also the things of interest in the world are those that are "conserved quantities", like if a hypothetical variable jumps around randomly, it's not a good data source because it's volatile and random. The things that matter are masses in space and time, because those are continuous and don't jump around rapidly. Masses in space and time can only be modified if you work on them (and that requires effort), and no significant change can be brought to masses by purely thinking about them (no "spooky action at a distance", no "telekinesis") or wishing for their change ("wishful thinking" is seen as ineffective).
That makes me wonder: Why do people freak out so much if i think about them? If i think lewd thoughts about somebody who didn't consent to this, why do people not like that? What difference does it make to them if i think about them? What difference does it make if i look at a picture of them naked? By purely thinking about them, i can not change anything meaningful about reality, therefore it shouldn't matter, right?
because nudity is tied to shame
Well that, I have to say, is more a social thing that we could do very well without. People shouldn't be shamed for nudity, ever
I'm not defending these apps at all,just a comment on how most cultures see nudity now. It should be way, way more normalized
This, of course, especially goes in the US where some people seem to have the idea that if a child sees a boob, they will be mentally damaged for the rest of their lives
Especially considering that many states have "open carry" laws for guns, but not for boobs.
Exactly.
I have no problem with kids seeing boobs, they'll be fine. Kids handling guns, that I have a problem with, like the little 8 yo girl who got an Uzi pushed in her hands by her dad and and instructor and immediately proceeded to accidentally shoot the instructor in the head because she was wholly unprepared for the recoil.
That instructor and father were examples of retards, and I'm not apologizing for using the word.
