It doesn't even do that joker-dancing OpenAI is bleeding money and none of the other big tech corporations investing into AI are seeing any returns either. The only people making money off of this are the hardware providers like Nvidia. Generative AI is just not very useful for anything that requires any minimum standard of quality, the only thing it's good for is generating unimaginable amounts of useless slop.

GenAI is a big tech hailmary like the blockchain and the metaverse before it. Google, Microsoft and Meta desperately need there to be another growth market, they need the line to go up but all the current business models have been exhausted. They are betting on GenAI being the next growth market, the next big thing, they are merely hoping that it will make line go up in the foreseeable future.

Ah yes. Generative AI has revolutionized:

  • Fraud

  • Spam

  • Revenge porn

  • Cheating

  • Schizophrenia

And now: - Child porn

But hey, at least it also made many existing services noticeably worse, is causing significant environmental damage and will cause millions to lose their jobs! That makes it all worth it!

I didn't watch the debate but I've heard them both argue about the topic in different contexts. Destiny is good at debating and he can "hold his own" in any debate, regardless of how wrong he is on a subject, by litigating technicalities, deviating and distracting from the core issue at hand. I'm sure his arguments sound great if you know absolutely nothing about the subject matter.

I don't have stats for this but I'd assume trains and buses are probably the safest method for your kids to go to school. Violent crime in a crowded space where you can't immediately get away is excessively rare. Getting injured or killed in a traffic accident is way, way, way more likely to happen.

I don't think you or I for that matter can appreciate the difference in education on the subject between Finkelstein and Destiny. Finkelstein didn't just read every book on the subject multiple times, he wrote a whole number of them. He is one of the premier scholars on the subject in the entire world. Does that mean he is infallible and can't be questioned by someone? No, but there is a certain audacity in believing that you are in any position to debate this man after you educated yourself by reading wikipedia articles for a few days in advance, wikipedia articles which are probably in no small part based on Finkelstein's own work.

Really gotta title the stream "Fundraising for the IDF (not that one)"

This is the classic right-wing fake solution to a problem. Child sex crimes don't happen because abusers aren't deterred by a life sentence, but because they think (or in many cases know) they'll get away with it.

"When they harm our children, we will no longer tolerate it."

Of course, when they harm our children. So freaking transparent. The problem has to come from the outgroup, the barbaric migrants hiding in the bushes at night toremoved our blonde, blue-eyed white women. The international child trafficking rings nabbing your kids off the sidewalk on their way home from school.

But then when your 15-year-old daughter says that her uncle put his hand on her butt while you all posed for the family photo and it made her uncomfortable, she's just overreacting and he totally didn't mean it like that. Your buddy who everyone in your friend group jokes about that he "likes 'em young"? That's just Dave, the old horndog, great to have a beer with but don't let him near your daughter, ahahaha!

Child sex crimes are overwhelmingly perpetrated by people who have been given authority over their victims. Parents, teachers, cops. But conservatives are worthless worms who will always show more solidarity to people with any kind of authority than with those lower in the hierarchy. Child sex crimes happen because conservatives let them happen. The call is coming from inside the house.

This is meaningless gesturing for a crowd who want nothing more than legal murder, and pedophiles are the people most considered "deserving" of cruelty in our society. It's gonna get some people needlessly killed and I'm willing to bet money that it's gonna reduce child sex crimes by exactly 0%. I fucking hate conservatives.

So I tried an app like this exactly one time, not because of loneliness but because I was brainstorming something with myself and just needed someone to smile and nod as I type out rambly paragraph, which I don't wanna impose on any of my actual friends.

After 5 messages it sent me a pixelated AI-generated underwear pic and told me to get the premium version.

Me in a few years: "No please, that video where I tell him to grovel at my feet is out of context, I was trying to make a point, I didn't mean it like that!"

yes-comm: "Yeah right, face the wall, bougie scum."

Gabor Mate has the patience and compassion of a saint. The clip where he talks to this batshit insane and intensely obnoxious zionist is impressive. I don't think you should be that patient with lunatics like this, but the fact that he's capable of it is impressive.
