Yes, they were programs that were carried out.

No, they did not prove telepathy, mind control or anything of the sort.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 7 days ago

You can think that, but understand that it is a theory that the government is conspiring to keep knowledge tech the public.

Look, I can't and won't try to change your mind, seems like you have already decided it's happened. But you should understand that their is no evidence to believe in telepathy. That doesn't mean impossible, but if you choose to believe it is possible AND invented in the early 90s that is entirely a you choice. Much like choosing to believe in god.

So sure, believe whatever. Just know that without evidence it will be difficult to get serious people to take you serious.

You sound like queer people in the 80s and 90s.

"What does it matter if one person accepts me? Won't change anything and it just bums me out."

Now, acceptance is the default position for most folk.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 11 days ago (edited 11 days ago)

Well, as a queer vegan. Its really hard not to notice that bigots and carnists say the same sort of things.

"You're just trying to feel special."
"It's unnatural, your gentials/teeth were evolved for a specific use".
"Stop trying to convert kidsto your cult."
"Queer/vegan people always think they are so enlighted."

But more to the point, defeatism is always an easy excuse to do nothing. But individual actions can have ripple effects through generations. Do you think that those at stonewall would expect an entire month celebrating their actions? Enough people making a choice not to support animal agriculture puts the concept out of business. Do I expect that or liberation soon? No. But it's gotten LIGHTYEARS better on both fronts in my own lifetime.

Well, it is a black dog. Keeping it at bay is often the best we can do.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 1 month ago

Fucking horseshit.

These drugs aren't dangerous, and for those that seek them it's often life saving. This isn't "illegal prescriptions" like oxy for a high that fuels drug trade. Seriously, there is no gain for humanity by making life MORE difficult for trans folk. Especially in the UK where the wait list for a prescription is literally YEARS long.

It's super duper disengenerous to call these illegal drug. Their medicine for people with gender dysphoria, and further restricting their access to it is nothing short of cruelty.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 1 month ago

Which ignores the context that getting them with a prescription is becoming a functional immposiblity for trans people in the UK. I support the concept that prescription drugs should not be for sale, BUT it is disengenerous that the prescription process is arbitrarily years long and constantly under attack.

My trans friend who lives in the UK has been forced to get her medication from the web because she has been on a waiting list to get a prescription for over three years now! She actively wants someone with a medical degree involved in her care, but that's literally immposible for her, despite her well paying job. It's easy enough to say "don't break the law" while ignoring the people harmed.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 1 month ago

Forgetting that the law does not equal morality, and that these harmless medications are blocked from a 3+ years long wait list to get legally. No trans person WANTS to use the web for their healthcare, they WANT to have access to regular blood panels and those holding degrees, but in the UK that is simply not possible due to arbitrary meaningless political attacks.

Take your "just follow the law" argument all the way to legalized slavery and realize how ignorant, privileged and foolish you sound.

Trans folk

"Oh what fresh hell is this?!"

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 1 month ago

Yeah but that's a different scenario all togther. Not all men are dangerous rapists, obviously. But enough are prone to assault and SA that it's statistically safer to have some random bear (possibly grizzly or teddy) than some random man. If you don't feel like the random guy walking down the street is dangerous, that's probably because random men on the street don't regularly harass you, which is unfortunately still a very common occurance to most women.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

It's noble how many of you are willing to get philosophical about the rise of deep fakes freeing us from puritan beliefs and readdressing the concept of truth.

While completely fucking ignoring the harassment and extortion of deep fakes. Y'all want to get high minded about YOUR right to free speach using OTHER peoples bodies as a gateway to some utopia, while playing dumb that this is just another form of mysgonstic abuse. If it truly is just you something you are doing in the privacy of your own home, why the fuck do you need other people's media?

Your ideals are built upon YET AGAIN women taking one for the team. The "truth" is immposible to know so YOLO, let's turn any women who made the mistake of being photographed in to porn. Her consent doesn't matter between the privacy of me and my dataset, even if I do upload it and blackmail her a lil'.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

Wtf are you even talking about? People should have the right to control if they are "approximated" as nude. You can wax poetic how it's not nessecarily correct but that's because you are ignoring the woman who did not consent to the process. Like, if I posted a nude then that's on the internet forever. But now, any picture at all can be made nude and posted to the internet forever. You're entirely removing consent from the equation you ass.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

My body is not inherently for your sexual simulation. Downloading my picture does not give you the right to turn it in to porn.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

WTF?

There is a huge ass difference between your personal thoughts and using a subjects social media, a database of existing nudes and AI to have REAL MEDIA produced.

Seriously, not even remotely similar and its frankly disturbing that this is even your thought process.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

It takes years of pratice to draw photorealism, and days if not weeks to draw a particular piece. Which is absolutely not the same to any jackass with an net connection and 5 minutes to create a equally/more realistic version.

It's really upsetting that this argument keeps getting brought up. Because while guys are being philosophical about how it's therotically the same thing, women are experiencing real world harm and harassment from these services. Women get fired for having nudes, girls are being blackmailed and bullied with this shit.

But since it's theoretically always been possible somehow churning through any woman you find on Instagram isn't an issue.

Totally get your frustration

Do you? Since you aren't threatened by this, yet another way for women to be harassed is just a fun little thought experiment.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

There is a huge ass difference between your imagination and REAL MEDIA using my face. This is a absolute bullshit justification.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

There is nothing stopping anyone from using it on my body. Seriously, get a fucking grip.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

Is a picture no different than an immigration? Is CGI not a picture because it used a computer?

Of course not because REAL MEDIA is being produced. Your thoughts never leave your head, these images are being used to harass and blackmail women. Your argument is completely asinine.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

Scroll back up.

Entirely screw off with this gaslighting BS.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

lmao

It's not thoughtcrime you giant crybaby.

But thinking about something and using tools to visualize it are not crimes.

This is SUCH a huge leap. You have a right to your thoughts, not databases, programming and services to generate media.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

You haven't explained anything I didn't already know. Of course it's not psychic nor 100% accurate to real life.

The ai can’t magically reveal what’s actually under your clothes.

But this is flat out bullshit and wildly disingenuous. You're entirely ignoring the fact that when it's posted that no one but the creator of the deepfake knows its fake. Everyone else just sees a nude. You are playing semantics while ignoring the actual harm.

At this point, I just see you as a troll who isn't interested in any sort of good faith discussion.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

LMAO!

Picture me openly laughing right in your damn face. This is such a hilarious use of the word that I can't even begin to take it serious and it's a tragedy that YOU are taking it serious. I'm sorry you feel so entitled to other peoples bodies and likeness.
That is honestly very sad for you.

I'm saying it's wrong to do this because of the harm it causes, not outlawing and executing those that make the code. But that distinction is lost on you because "fascism" is anything you don't like. Absolutely hilarious.

(P.S I am screenshot this and show it to as many people as I can)

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

ITT: Assholes asking "ironically" for deepfakes.

Yeah I get the sunny references, but the reason you are all thinking the same thing is because y'all acting like Mac. Who to be clear, was a giant PoS for asking the question. It should be a big ass red flag when you emulate the gang.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

Uh huh.

But what's the joke? Why is it funny? That people are asking for the link? The reason that so many people are making this joke is because they read the headline and wanted to know which site. So they came to the comments, and quoted Mac because his scene is the most well known reference to what they were doing. This isn't like Dr. Evil, Mac heard about revenge porn and wanted to see, and bunch of dorks heard about deepfakes and "joke" about wanting to see.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Maybe you enjoy acting puritanical and holier-than-thou

Honestly, right back at yeah. Calling me a prude is just your way of playing dumb about the situation. Your "holier than thou" is "understanding a joke more than thou".

That they're making a joke

The joke is that their asking. "Because of the implication" and "one million dollars" are over the top because you're not holding the world ransom and you aren't planning to pressure someone into sex. You use those in situation where it doesn't apply and that's the humor.

But clicking a link is absolutely within the realm of possibility. Like, read the damn article. Lots of people were using the site/app, people here were asking for the same reason. Whitewashing it through pop culture doesn't change that they are literally asking for the link.

It's naive to think that anonymous users on lemmy would somehow never deep fake, nor pursue the content. My comment was to shame those tempted to do so, if you wish to think me unkind for that, so be it.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

As I've said so many times, it's not a joke if you are literally asking. If you are in a boat and tell your GF that she shouldn't say no to you because of the implication, then that's not a joke. And if you come to a thread about banned deep fake sites and ask for the link it's not a joke.Even Dennis himself hides behind this logic that "obviously she is in no danger", but that ignores the real threats women have to live with every day. Women don't get to assume that every implication rape threat is a joke because the risk is too great, it always going to be real to the subject without power.

You already admitted in a different comment that some of the people here were looking for a link. So why exactly are you so upset at me? Is your right to assume it'd always a joke out ranked by my concern at yet another way for women to be sexually harassed? Before it was simply any woman who posted nudes online had to know it would be online forever. But now any woman who has ever posted, or hell even went outside where a camera was now runs the risk of her nudes being posted?

But I guess you feeling hurt over "jokes" is the real problem?!? Like seriously, let it tf go. The lame jokes don't need to be defended and I'm not the jolly joy villian you are making me out to be.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

The scale and ease of use is the real problem. Anyone who would draw pictures of women they know naked to jerk off to is obviously a creep. But that's a creep who had to spend years of their lives practicing to draw realistic bodies. Not literally any person who happens to have a folder full of their Facebook friends.

Like roll the clock back and pretend this is about the dangers of cars running people over. When there is only a couple cars out there it's easy to say "But what about the horses that run people over", but fast forward to today and death by auto wildly outranks death by horse. Horses and car deaths are still a problem, but citing horses as to why car deaths aren't so bad is ludicrous, disengenerous and asinine

Two things can be a problem, but easily accessible deep faking by anyone with a boner and a spare minute is not the same to someone spending hours over a suacy oil painting.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

😂

Okay, now you are just taking the piss. The show is satire about horrible people doing horrible things. Absolutely everything the gang does should be criticized. I'm pointing at Dennis, not Glen.

Look, I'm done here and idgaf what you think, but I'll leave you with an idea. Go to a women in your life you trust, mom, GF, sister or whoever and tell them some lady on the internet was upset about deepfakes and you told her it was just a joke.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

Explain it however you like "some lady on the internet can't take a joke", or give her a link to this thread. Whatever, idc.

But you aren't going to, we both know that.

Tesla fans have taken issue with the word “recall” in the past when the company has proven adept at fixing its problems through over-the-air software updates. But they likely will have to admit that, in this case, the terminology applies.

Even if Tesla sucks super hard, I agree with these complaints. I immediately checked to see if this was a "real" recall or a software one. Since they all need some physical work on them it definitely applies, but I really wish they used a different term for software update "recalls". It's confusing word choice.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

I dont disagree with anything you said, I just think there should be a different, but equally severe term for clarity. It's not hurting Tesla so much as devaluing the word "recall". Make it hurt, Tesla is reckless with the way they ship unfinished products, but as I said before, I wasn't even sure what "recall" meant in this sense.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 2 months ago

One step closer to machine domination.

Like, not even in a joking sense. Ukraine is using a ton of drones, the future of physical warfare will simply be a test resources and production.

I'm honestly not sure if this will be good or bad in the longterm. Absolutely saving any amount of human life is a good thing, but when that is no longer a significant factor, I wonder if we will go to (and stay at) war for more trivial reasons.

f there's a single bone in your body that cares about the lives of your trans friends you will too.

Hey hi, it's me, your trans friend. And you need to put this energy towards protesting Biden instead of leftists. I honestly feel like you are low key getting trolled and missing the point?

Like, seriously, we all know "shithole countries" Trump would be worse on every single issue, including and especially Gaza. But it's six months till the election, PLENTLY of time for a course change by Biden. Absolutely a second Trump term scares the 💩 out of me. So i appreciate where you are coming from, but until it's November, I think pressing Dems and trusting leftists to do whats right day of is the most good y'all can do.

So I lived in the Everett area and worked near the Boeing plant. My ex gf's brother worked directly on the line. One family dinner someone mentioned the two MAX crashes mentioned in the video. He totally brushed them off and said

They were from """n-word""" countries. They crashed it themselves.

He was the most blatant, but the other Boeing folk I knew spoke simmiliarly.

legitimately gender neutral

How many dudes have you fucked?

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

That's okay, good for you! Truthfully I don't super care, but rock on. Just pointing out that everyone who read my question assumed I was talking about men. Dude is absolutely not a gender neutral term, that's just a thing dudes say when we live in a dude centric world where it's assumed to be the default person and they don't want to think about it. Same thing works with stuff like "Hey guys", ask them if they have had sex with a guy.

The whole thing is the same energy as saying white people "I don't see race."

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 5 months ago

No. Sorry, I know you're going for a joke and I don't wanna be a buzz kill. But it's still messed up to deadname. Doesn't matter if they are cis, trans or an asshole.

Look I totally agree he is a massive piece of shit. But so is Caitlyn Jenner and Blair White. Every single person everywhere has the right to their identity and to conceptualize themselves however they wish. And if we make respecting those choices, such as their name, contingent on good behavior that just signals to every trans person watching that we also have conditional respect to exist and function in society comfortable, safely and normally.

I'm not defending Ted, he is a major PoS, but defending the concept that no one can control how they were born and those circumstances should not be a limitation on how any one wished to live their life.

inb4_FoundTheVegan , 5 months ago (edited 5 months ago)

Well I appreciate your collected response, it's very common for these type of situations to turn in to a flame war. I entirely feel you and agree that Cruz is not a deadname situation. But after sitting with and pondering your response all day, I think my real rub comes down to the term deadname like thus? I'll be the first to admit that maybe i, as a trans woman, might be too close or sensitive to be totally objective here. But while I get that you were doing a joke, steaming from it NOT being a deadname situation but treating it as one felt to me as you were thinking it's funny to actually deadname people. And that just sorta stuck me. Maybe my reply had more to do with me than with you, but this is something I've seen a lot lately. It a trans person does something that makes the internet angry, suddenly to a ton of people deadnaming does become fun to them. And I felt like you were going at the same vein.

You're right, we are just two passing strangers. And I don't have to like every comment in the whole of lemmy, but it felt wrong to not say something. Nagged at me when I scrolled away, so I just wanted to clarify. Even though I know those sort of relies only ever get downvotes. 😂

So you go in peace bestie, I'm sending you all the good vibes and hope you have a wonderful day! ♥ 💕
