Edit it was

remember when sony did the same to microsoft

the first one is definitely rough. i really liked the story beats but it is the clunkiest of the bunch. 2 and its spinoffs are all excellent though, the levels really shine in those. try out the tourist mode too.

so the real-world id requirement is also user protection? play store is basically an info stealer at this point.

they’re going to make it more difficult too. you basically need to enable dev mode a second time, then for every application that can install ap, you need to re-approve then wait 24 hours.

ew yeah

well here it’s not a grey area since 2012. it’s explicitly a different thing according to our supreme court.

to your last point, i think there’s research that shows that people tend to act less on their urges when given an outlet. same as with violence. in fact i think that there’s even some that says that people who commit the acts do it because what they get off on is the sense of control rather than the characteristics of the victim.

that said, yeah we obviously shouldn’t be encouraging creeps to act on their urges. i also don’t know what the situation is in japan but it’s possible that in their “shame-based society” as someone put it in the thread, calling someone out on it is enough to discourage it in a way that doesn’t translate. in that case the translation is also wrong, but in the other direction; it should be harsher.

that wasn’t my intention. i just think the rules are different with drawn material, that was what i was trying to illustrate. the law also distinguishes the two, at least where i live. i know that varies greatly by country, and there’s the question of whether the artist is using reference, but considering how unrealistic most hentai is wrt proportions and poses that feels like it would stick out.

i mean… i’ve seen that kinda porn on furry sites. there’s a whole subgenre. usually the animals can talk, but they’re still animals. as in, not anthropomorphic.

not that i really want to continue the discussion (we agree that SA is bad and the people doing it should be put in prison) but isn’t this a bit like saying furry porn is pretty much the same as bestiality?

not intrinsically, at least not for long. in most of europe it was legal up until the 90s and there were even porno mags that ran specials.

…i do compulsive late night wiki walks, before you ask how i know that. i had a period where i read up on what happened to the “flower power” generation with all their “free love” stuff and that came up. i tend to do breadth-first search so i just read through articles while opening all the links in the background, then go down a level, etc etc. when a term like that comes up on a wiki page it triggers your fight-or-flight response.

i don’t think this is normalising, is it? if anything the tone of the tweet almost makes it feel like they’re offended that the two things are being compared.

oh i am anti as all hell. i have knowledge of how the models tend to work, how the training is done, and how reasoning and tool use is implemented. that’s why i never use online models and check the datasets of local ones.

but like… the idea isn’t bad. it’s just that the way people use it is to steal information, burn through massive resources, and atrophy their knowledge. just like how the idea of a block chain, or a uniquely identifiable digital token, isn’t intrinsically bad, but the biggest use was grifting.

a model trained on consensually acquired data, using only renewable energy, run locally, can still achieve useful things like quickly finding information from a loose query, doing bulk edits, making templates and placeholders, or offering suggestions. it’s just that it would take longer and not be hype-worthy. so no for-profit entity does it. that’s what makes projects like the ai horde interesting.

it’s the curse of getting into something early and it becoming a global issue; i did a course on machine learning in 2014 and have tinkered since then.

like imagine getting into blockchain-based systems because of git in 2007. can’t talk about that stuff at all now.

whenever i see “onii-chan” written out nowadays i mentally translate it as “hey bro”

especially in the context of an in-universe character saying it, yeah

i will always take the time to explain things i find interesting to people. the benefit here is that i can now much more efficiently break large models as well when i come across them. helps me add anti-ai clauses to websites, cv’s, and repos i publish.

yes

yeah, it’s a great way to see the limitations of these systems. just like ctf and ioccc.

dual booting just makes things more difficult. windows likes to silently change things in the bios and on disk drives it manages, basically pulling the rug out from under linux. you can mitigate it by making linux aware of the fact but that’s not the default behaviour, because again dual booting isn’t really recommended.
