Blue states should just drop all gender/sex markers from state documents.

Which is by design.

These people hate women, all women. They want to punish women for being the “wrong kind” of woman. Too tall, too buff, too smart, short hair, no makeup, too fat, too skinny, too tan, etc

They hate trans women specifically because we prove the lie that is what the patriarch is built on, as well as how insecure they are when they do find us attractive, but they are more than happy to use the excuse to attack cis women as well.

It’s why they always use “what” and not “who” when trying to do a gotcha about trans people. They don’t see women as people, and they already have a definition in mind: “Thing I want to fuck”. These people regularly revoke womanhood from any woman that doesn’t appeal to the male gaze.

The problem is that the vast majority of people don’t understand the tech or what it’s capable of.

And for once, this is kind of a real “both sides” argument.

The pro AI side is delusional and think LLMs can do anything, or will “eventually”. You also have a bunch of fascists pushing the tech because generative AI is useful for propaganda in a number of ways and they want to use it to make shitty media because actual artists have generally been anti-fascist.

The anti AI side is more right, but they still buy into the bullshit about what the tech can actually do. They also think AI is going to take all the jobs even though it fundamentally can’t. They ignore that while some companies might try to replace workers they quickly and quietly reverse course and rehire people.

And I’m basically convinced that a lot of the narrative of how the average anti-AI person talks about it is driven by the AI companies because it helps them sell their lies about what the tech is capable of.

Also, both sides ignore that most of the reports of layoffs because of AI are just companies that are using AI as a cover to not freak out investors, but they aren’t actually replacing workers with AI, just reducing the number and overworking the rest.

Cachy, actually

Also, Reddit admins regularly suspend/ban anyone marginally on the left when we say we will defend ourselves or when we express opinions about certain dead fascists or in my most recent suspension: Said the confederate leaders should have gotten the same treatment they gave to runaway slaves.

Reddit only bans fascists/conservatives when they do something that could get them in legal trouble. But anyone on the left, and especially anyone queer, even slightly arguing we might need to defend ourselves from their violence with our own will get banned extremely quick.

Remember: Reddit didn’t take down subreddits dedicated to perving on children until it got in the news.

I’ve gotten suspended from Reddit for hurting fascist’s feelings, most recently because I said what I wished had happened to the leaders of the confederacy.

Reddit will let blatant hate speech and active calls for violence against minorities stand as “not violating any rules” and the only reason any of the subreddits aren’t overran by that crap is the individual subreddit mods remove comments and ban people, but that only goes so far as they are all unpaid volunteers.

The kind of people that do get banned by Reddit for being bigots have to say stuff that would actually get them in legal trouble, and usually those are the ones that are actively threatening specific people all the time because they think death threats are an effective debate tactic when they don’t know what they are talking about, and they never know what they are talking about.

Those people end up being a special kind of asshole so when they come to Lemmy they end up doing the same, but with federation they tend to endup more on the openly fascist instances that most sane instances don’t federate with.

I could see a way for it to work, but this tech certainly isn’t it and you’d need to balance the size of the model for memory use and performance.

Except you don’t need a neural net to do this, nor would you really want one for it because it would be incredibly slow unless you use the GPU to run it which might be a bit busy running the actual game. It’s like a “make game run worse” option.

In game AI can be pretty sophisticated even without the addition of neural nets which could be OK with determining strategy based on player action, but really isn’t going to be good for the entire control.

This kind of thing is only useful as tech demo for playing platformers and the like with the same inputs a human player would, basically more like a bot.

For stuff like dirt/stone/brick/etc textures I’m less strict for the use of generative stuff. I even think having an artist make the “core” texture and then using an AI to fill out the texture across the various surfaces to make it less repetitive over a large area isn’t a problem for me.

Like, I agree that these things gernally are ethically questionable with how they are trained, but you can train them on ethically sourced data and doing so could open up the ability to fill out a game world without spending a ton of time, leaving the actual artists more time to work on the important set pieces than the dirt road connecting them.

Also, fellow sociopath.

The first image is how trickle down actually is. None of the money actually “trickles”, but pools at the top, or in this case gets siphoned to their tax shelters.

The only trickling that happens it the rich practically peeing on the rest of us.

It’s one of the reasons I haven’t considered getting an autism diagnosis. I’m pretty sure I have it, but even talking with the doctor I get my ADHD medication from she agreed that while it can be helpful to “know”, there isn’t much else outside of that.

It’s not like my ADHD where I can get a prescription that helps me manage the symptoms. If I just work on the assumption I have it and use that to process things and know when I’m getting overwhelmed and how to deal with it, and also stop masking all the time, then I get the same benefit that I would from an official diagnosis without opening myself up to more discrimination or fascist targeting.

Between being queer and having ADHD I already have enough things they want to throw me into gas chambers for.

Well, as far as Lemmy goes most of the people who came over first are people who are technically and privacy oriented. Issues with Reddit causing several exoduses (I think I spelled that right).

What has historically pushed people to use Linux is the same driver for pretty much anything fediverse/activity pub. It’s the early adopters that are going to shape the discourse for a while. I think Reddit was the same way at the start as was Digg.

Your average non-techie is less likely to want to figure out how to use Lemmy over just dealing with the other things the corporate sites are doing. Not that there aren’t non-techies on Lemmy, but it will take time for them to overtake the techies by a significant degree, if it happens at all.

I’ve seen so many Windows users come out of nowhere to shit on Linux when gaming comes up. There was the whole thing where a bunch of alpha testers got banned on Ashes of Creation a few weeks ago and the discord just had like half of people in their discord throwing hate around.

Also accusing Linux users of being cheaters… as if game cheats are made for Linux.

Even if there is a slight performance loss, I feel like for the vast majority of games it’s basically irrelevant, especially since most of the examples I see are like maybe 5-15% worse if it’s worse at all.

If you are still over 60FPS then I don’t really see why it’s that much of an issue. Even having 165hz monitors I don’t really notice much difference above 100, as long as the frame rate is consistent.

And as far as I’ve seen for AMD performance will be equal to if not better than Windows. The only issues I’ve seen with performance are Nvidia, but it’s been improving and seems to be “good enough” from what I hear. Also, the more people who switch the more likely that will improve even more.

There are women who are also pro Linux.

I’ve used it off and on since the early 2000s, but switched full time last year when they were threatening to put the AI stuff in windows.

Also, being queer and the fear of how many companies are bending the knee to fascism I am concerned with privacy.

As a lesbian I can say with certainty that men without beards don’t look like women.

No, he meant It’s only problem when we are mad.

They persist on insecure anger constantly. When they are mad it is automatically justified.

I fled a republican controlled hell hole because I’m queer. Even if flying was in a normal situation I wouldn’t be going back there anytime soon.

I’m “lucky” in that I haven’t really been close to my family for a verity of reasons, but I have friends who are and it does suck for them.

How have I not heard of this one?

I did hear about Light No Fire from the No Man Sky devs. Looks impressive from what I’ve seen so far on it with it’s supposedly literal Earth sized world.
