Read it last weekend in one sitting, really enjoyed it! Loved the tension between Genris and the druid, and I really liked the campfire scene when it touches a bit on the history of the Deerwood rebellion. Would love to read a story featuring a young Genris in his prime πŸ€”

You know the grand wizard is sliding into his DM's to let him know that "not all masks" are bad

lol jfc the orange turd is focused on so much winning for US enemies that there's nothing left over for the poor maga cucks Each and every American citizen is failing their forefathers and the ideals that made the US great. Entire generations rolling in their graves. Stand up or give up #june14th

"Let them eat cake" This is a club that you're never going to be a part of. In times like these it's good to pick up hobbies life crafting, woodwork, diy, etc. Here's a great starter project: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZhZ...

Just make it so that the board has to step down and can't open new businesses or sit on other boards. BOOM, overnight you'd find that corporations are FAR more concerned about operational integrity. The board is ultimately responsible for the actions of every company action or representative.

Why invest in a fortune 500 if some dude in his basement can create wealth alone. How is that even valuable if anyone can do it? Part of value is created through a LACK of accessibility, which is totally upended by AI or AGM lol

Pretty sure this is by design... Putin is Xi's bitch, Trump is Putin's bitch, the MAGA movement is Trump's harem of bitches. The winner is the big C in BRICS. If the US wasn't so illiterate, perhaps they would be able to read the writing on the wall. American exceptionalism died decades ago.

@mark-carney.bsky.social we need to make local investments a no-brainer. Over 50% of SME's have 4 employees or fewer (I have 2 of them) and unsurprisingly, private investment at that scale is virtually non-existent. The elbows up movement needs to adopt a grass roots approach.

It feels like in the social media and AI era, style is prioritized and rewarded. It doesn't matter if it has substance, as long as it has enough style to pass. But without substance, all style is empty and meaningless.

Sure, and I would imagine that more people are willing to pick up a camera than a paint brush, and by the same token, more people in the future would be willing to ask LLM's to do things that help sharpen our minds (thinking, problem solving) or something we do for enjoyment (reading, imagination)

Trump was quoted to have said that there is nothing Canada can do or say about the tariffs. If Carney didn't go, it would not only be seen as disrespectful, but also weak. If he went and accepted a bad deal for Canada, even weaker. He went, had them laughing and agreeing with him. It's a start

Ive been reflecting recently about how this is the scammer/grifter era and how in the past, youd need to put considerable effort into learning how to scam. It required dedication, a mentor, trial and error... It would be tough Now, its compressed into a 60s reel and delivered to you without asking
comment in response to post
lol even now, going to trial doesn't mean you're charged, please show me the case where someone is doing time where it's proven they 100% unknowingly held some form of censored data. Regardless, in the eyes of the law, they might be guilty for possessing it. I'm here to talk AI, not semantics
comment in response to post
Dude your obsession with semantics is not chill lol
comment in response to post
as a general reference to Meta stealing data, yes. Do you not realize that the document you just shared references stolen data or contextualizes the human behaviour involved with the data?
comment in response to post
The movie is never legal or illegal. The act of making it might be. If it has censored material, the act of holding it might be. Selling it without permission might be. Seriously, what's so hard to understand?
comment in response to post
LET'S RECAP SHALL WE My take: - Gen AI has moral and ethical implications - Training Gen AI on stolen data is bad You take: - Discussing moral and ethical implications is a luddite argument - Training Gen AI on data isn't bad as long as it's not Child Porn
comment in response to post
You are obsessed with whether ones and zeroes are legal or illegal and it's weird because laws and legality always involve humans. I don't think you have the legal expertise to justify your arguments. You were the one who changed the subject to the legality of the data lol jfc
comment in response to post
Illegal data IS illegally obtained or created data lol they are the same fucking thing. Seriously... show me the laws that says what data is legal or illegal... it always involves the HUMAN act of CREATING IT or OBTAINING IT or KNOWINGLY HOLDING it. You are arguing in bad faith and you know it
comment in response to post
YOU were the one who claimed that they weren't training it on "illegal" data, with some stance that since they aren't using child porn that it should all be chill. Your same argument applies against you "we don't know what is there but it must be good"
comment in response to post
I'd also like to circle back and focus on some flaws in your points here. A) Data is not legal or illegal, the act of obtaining, distributing, or creating data is. B) All law is contextualized by jurisdiction, and law doesn't determine ethics. C) We don't know the extent of data it was trained on
comment in response to post
And I would argue prompting is closer to design than it is engineering, if we are going down that road
comment in response to post
The term was literally created by the industry who is also peddling it.
comment in response to post
lol yes, that's true. Words have meaning, and perhaps I used some wrong ones or poor grammar. So what's your point in regards to our original discussion? Your pseudo intellectual approach is not going to work here. What is illegal data? Are you a lawyer? Which jurisdiction are we talking here?
comment in response to post
Real BDE would be to take a lesson from @bethesdastudios.com and shadow-drop all $200 billion tomorrow πŸ†πŸ’ΈπŸ‘€ ball is your court, Bill. They cap income tax, cap social security contributions, but there ain't no cap on how much wealth you can hoard or how much cash you can leave to your estate? Trash.
comment in response to post
There is literally an on-going lawsuit about how Meta torrented terabytes of data illegally. They stole data to create a commercial product that would directly compete with the people they stole from.
comment in response to post
lol as an engineer it's so incredibly disrespectful to call writing a sentence "engineering"
comment in response to post
Innovation does not happen in a vacuum. It's contextualized by the capitalist systems that profit from it, and by the humans that use it. When you consider Gen AI is trained on illegal data, the moral and ethical questions just get even more complex. This is nothing like the printing press.
comment in response to post
That's fair, but I still disagree. I'm not saying that the tech is inherently bad and I'm not arguing against new tech. I'm saying our human condition is to take the path of least resistance, and unlike other tech, this one can replace thought process itself, the very thing that drives innovation
comment in response to post
For sure, what I said was a massive generalization. There are plenty of religious people or people with faith that are intelligent and make good decisions like getting vaccinated or listen to scientists and doctors
comment in response to post
I'm not a luddite lol I'm an engineer and entrepreneur who is obsessed with tools, tech, and innovation. Comparing a discussion on ethical implications of Gen AI to quotes from some religious nut-bag who was bitter about losing their income is disingenuous at best, if not down-right naive.

I don't think people realize that their brain releases dopamine when they are angry or mean or have an outburst. You can quite literally become addicted to being a little piece of shit lol

lol from the producers who brought you FUCK BOY ISLAND, we're proud to introduce CARDINAL SIN, where the Catholic Churches Hottest Cardinals battle it out in a game of Grace, Gumption, and God πŸ™ Airs Sunday at 11am on FOX

100%. It devalues all human effort. We respect things that we can't do, won't do, or aren't willing to do. Human laziness should not be underestimated, and in a world of gen AI, we will learn to be lazy. If we don't NEED to think, we won't. Thinking takes up precious resources, after all.

Doesn't surprise me, religion and information are like oil and water.
