If you have no human principles, Hungary. You just have to buy some papers for it. Maybe learn a hard and useless language. But definitely love corruption and the suffering of other humans.

anticolonialist

Unless the “good colonialist” does it!🤣

They just provide a service good enough for the more toxic gamers so they won’t get harassed, nothing more beyond that. They have almost nonexistent moderation, and no longer are developing games.

Or seen the Epstein stuff, and felt incredibly betrayed.

Former rightist here, I not only got my face eaten by the Fidesz leopards (gutted health-care, gutted job security, gutted disability benefits that are now also harder to get, etc), and I remember the day when I’ve read that Fidesz lowered the age of consent to 12 in case both parties are under 18. I thought a “conservative” party would do the opposite, and raise it to 18 with some exceptions. I remember being so angry I couldn’t sleep that night at all, seen the sun rising, and my luck was that I didn’t have school on that day. And after the whole cHiLd prOteCTion fiasco, one of their politician even married an 18 year old he groomed since she was 14. Many claim the low age of consent of my country is only for close-in-age relationships, but it doesn’t stop much greater age differences, which are dangerously popular, because “boys at my age are stupid and don’t have cars” as some of those teen girls would say, others are being groomed with “but age differences are natural” if they were skeptical and didn’t want to run into such a relationship.

I took the whole “child protection” thing seriously. I knew victims. Many of them were my age. However when I had to realize some was just using it as an issue to get me to vote for them, while they themselves were doing it, often way more publicly than how Trump did it.

But we will soon have AGI, and then you can have your very own JARVIS! Don’t you like Iron Man? Don’t you like super heroes? Don’t you like sci-fi? /s

We go high, they go low.

Today on Facebook, a big trumpist just admitted to me that he just wants to see his political opponents suffer (even die), and sent me a gore image.

In theory, UBI.

In practice, it will likely lead to periodic job market crashes due to overapplying to the remaining jobs, and possibly even revolts.

If AI is really as good as its evangelists claim, and the technology ceiling will rise enough. IMHO, even the LLM technologies are getting exhausted, so it’s not just a training data problem, of which these AI evangelists littered the internet with, so they will have a very hard time going forward.

“Why ban bad thing if bad country allows bad thing?”

People are saying the same about raising the minimum wage, implementing labor protections, etc. “Okay, advocate for fair wages, but then that minimum wage job of yours will be outsourced to China/India/Vietnam/etc.!”

Different scale, but just go on and defend your billion dollar industry, because “what if it was open source” despite the open source community would never have the ability and the resources to train these models.

Pleased to take part in creating the scarcity free future by letting hustle bros to ruin art communities, and letting terminally online people to create endless followups to Metropolis Pt. II instead of them sending death threats to Dream Theater!

Which part of “an even worse and scummier form of plagiarism” you didn’t understand?

Okay, then lets ban art generators, problem solved!

1. Your machine learning algorithms are not people. No amount of calling it Alex or giving it a voice stolen from a well-known actress will change that fact.
2. If I traced an artwork or copied GPL licensed code into an non-GPL one, my ass would be beaten by others on the internet.
3. So far, the main usecase of this generative technology is scamming, intentionally creating distrust in the artist community, and an even worse and scummier form of plagiarism, but it doesn’t matter because some shitpost that goes hard, “what if a content creator needs a stock photo?”, and “what if it could be used to resurrect your favorite artist?”.
4. Power imbalance. There’s a difference a young creator not having money to buy a training material and a big corporation wanting to destroy their profession.

From what I’ve heard, sometimes the hacked institutions bow in the form of delaying, or even completely ditching Project 2025-style plans. Other times the institution has enough Russia and/or China ties, that a naive tankie within the group sabotages the whole effort. Yet other times they’re being paid a lot of money and being given certain guarantees (ability of leaving the country in case the hacker’s civil identities become illegal, etc.).

How long until it will be used as a backdoor to hack womeone’s PC?

The cruelty is the point.

We go high, they go low. Taking the moral high ground against these people just end us losing the battle.

Also “pornography” is a harder to define term, and can be “circumvented” by calling it “child erotica” or “child artistic nudity”, and CSAM producers used them to get around anti-CSAM laws while they could. Today some of the distributors try to claim they’re “just recordings of a crime”.

If Biden didn’t support Israel, he would have been smeared as an antisemite.

The Heritage Foundation not only helped Orbán into power, but also learned a lot from their playbook.
