It's true, but I do I good Linux?

SeattleRain ,

How do you get to the level where you think Linux is good.

SeattleRain ,

Does anyone have a realistic idea of how this happened? I get Google has been fallen off for awhile but they're still a multi billion dollar company.

SeattleRain ,

So like a quit quitting revolt.

SeattleRain ,

I'm honestly glad he got slapped with such a huge bill. Maybe it will prompt other corporations to start putting real money into the open source projects all their billion dollar businesses are built off of.

SeattleRain ,

To be fair, this is what every single company is doing right now. Stallman tried to warn you!

I hate to defend Sam but Scarlet does not have a patent on a bubbly mid western accent.

SeattleRain ,

That's not proof of anything. It's the most well known reference to a "AI Girlfriend" in popular culture that there currently is.

This reminds me of when the Fine Brothers tried to trademark the word "react" or when Paris Hilton did the same thing for "That's hot".

SeattleRain ,

Well maybe Scarlet needs to start pay royalties to millions of Midwestern women. Because she didn't come up with that way of talking on her own now did she?

SeattleRain ,

Why are Americans so obsessed with emasculating men?

SeattleRain ,

If the genders were reversed you'd think it's weird.

SeattleRain ,

The Alt right victim complex never ceases to amaze me.

SeattleRain ,

OP has never watched "Ping Pong Club".

SeattleRain ,

Well yeah. Just because something makes you really uncomfortable doesn't make it a crime. A crime has a victim.

Also, the vast majority of children are victimized because of the US' culture of authoritarianism and religious fundamentalism. That's why far and away children are victimized by either a relative or in a church. But y'all ain't ready to have that conversation.

America has some of the most militant anti pedophilic culture in the world but they far and away have the highest rates of child sexual assault.

I think AI is going to revel is how deeply hypocritical Americans are on this issue. You have gigantic institutions like churches committing industrial scale victimization yet you won't find a 1/10th of the righteous indignation against other organized religions where there is just as much evidence it is happening as you will regarding one person producing images that don't actually hurt anyone.

It's pretty clear by how staggering a rate of child abuse that occurs in the states that Americans are just using child victims as weaponized politicalization (it's next to impossible to convincingly fight off pedo accusations if you're being mobbed) and aren't actually interested in fighting pedophilia.

SeattleRain ,

It's not whataboutism, he's being persecuted because of the idea that he's hurting children all the while law enforcement refuses to truly persecute actual institutions victimizing children and are often colluding with traffickers. For instance LE throughout the country were well aware of the scale of the Catholic church's crimes for generations.

How is this whataboutism.

SeattleRain ,

They're not two different things. They're both supposedly acts of pedophilia except one would take actual courage to prosecute (churches) and the other which doesn't have any actual victims is easy and is a PR get because certain people find it really icky.

SeattleRain ,

I know, why do people act like recording shows and skipping ads is at all a new thing. If anything it's harder to avoid ads on streaming platforms then broadcast TV because you can still record broadcast TV and skip ads.

SeattleRain ,

Just mandate work from home, that will fix it. Whoa COVID proved it works!

SeattleRain ,

Were they trying to protect ChatGPT from all the bad and convoluted answers?

SeattleRain ,

Meh, /g/ on 4chan which is where this post is from, is mostly bitter racists angry that can't pelt everyone with racial and homophobic slurs in the community. They literally think banning hate speech in CoCs is akin to brutal Stalinist oppression.

SeattleRain ,

They're banning it because they blame tick tok for the pro Palestinian movement. Zuck and Google have been spying on users for decades.
