I think Tay will be taught in AI ethics-type courses for generations to come.
I wonder whether it’ll be in the context of “hey look what happened when AI had no guardrails”, or whether it will be “fuck we should have seen this coming”.
As horrendous as the content it was spouting was, it was highly amusing to see the project nosedive so spectacularly quickly.
In fact, the “Ukraine war” title doesn’t really do it justice then does it.
Maybe they should rebrand it, call it a different War, maybe something that reflects the whole World that gets involved. If there’s been a couple before, just stick a number 3 on the end. Sorted.
A great question. I was going to call it a “thought experiment”, but as Wikipedia more succinctly calls it, a “philosophical concept”. I’m wary of jumping to the paradox of tolerance as a device to handwave away violence against anyone.
It’s an important point to consider and it raises vital questions that challenges my own argument, but ultimately the rights of the human override any philosophical ideals.
In this instance, I would much rather preserve the rights of any person - arsehole or not - rather than subject them to sexual violence because of a perceived difference in political opinion.
Thanks for your reply, I appreciate your insight.
We still disagree, but I genuinely appreciate the additional context you have to offer. I’m not wholly altruistic, I think Fuentes is a massive piece of human garbage.
But, he is human - and with that, is his right to human rights.
I don’t like him as much as the next person and that is an entirely subjective opinion, but levelling the same kind of hatred and lack of compassion effectively makes you no better than fanny balls Fuentes is. It’s a dangerously small leap from <I don’t like what this person stands for> and therefore sanctioning sexual assault, to <they don’t like what I stand for> and therefore sanctioning sexual assault.
I suspect we’re on the same broad page, but our means are vastly different.
You and I are on such vastly different platforms that you’re one of the few people I don’t think I can find any common ground with. Whereas I agree one’s own qualified rights end where others rights begin, I consider basic human rights to be absolute, and certainly not influenced by whatever political views you do or don’t share.
By extension, the abstracted opinion of “I think it’s funny that <a group of people I don’t like> <experiences something terrible>” is borderline fascism in itself, and your position is cancerous to any anti-fascist movement you’re involved in.
It’s whatever floats your boat at the end of the day. I’ve seen people with unique usernames being super chill in one community, and then appear in another spouting off like they’re two steps away from annexing Poland in another. It’s wild.
I do my absolute best not to block people or communities though. I worry that my account will just end up as an echo chamber for whatever I’m interested in, and I’ll just end up disconnected from the Real World™️, as tempting as it sounds sometimes.
Sometimes seeing and hearing shit that wasn’t top of your agenda keeps you grounded - but it’s an entirely subjective view.
e: community clarity.
Nah it wasn’t. Although I really should listen to more of her stuff.
Seriously though, what is the deal with trying to stop others from doing the exact same thing that you are doing by speaking in the imperative form?
It’s a comment section after all.
Stop trying to police language.
dat irony tho
Thanks for taking the time to reply, but:
Many of us heard it back in 2016, but the media
I lost interest after this. Someone’s talking about normalising the sexual assault of a group of people - as likeable or dislikeable as they may be - and all I can see is some “I told you so” word salad?
I’m sorry if I’ve picked you up wrong, but I’m happy to be corrected.
Do you hear yourself?
quality burn
Though I would still like to go. That architecture looks fantastic.
I suspect the answer lies in paragraph 4, where I’m making the assumption that the scammers make contact directly with the buyers, and invite a payment to be made to the scammers rather than the brokers.
I suppose in a strictly legal sense, the brokers are off the hook then as they’ve no idea the scammers have asked the buyers to send a payment.
It’s scummy as fuck all round.
Man I miss Eudora back in the day. I used the mail client in SeaMonkey before I just started using my phone to check mail.
The 90s and 2000s were a simpler time.
Absolutely agree with you - I think perhaps Kamala was too safe a pair of hands and didn’t generate enough excitement - but then I’m too old for watching fancy headline grabbers (though Ed Davey’s approach to Lib Dem vote grabbing at the GE this year was highly entertaining) so to me, a boring but competent candidate is good for me.
I suppose I only brough up her gender and his sexuality because they both share an “outlier” characteristic that Republicans in general aren’t too fond of.
Nice to hear from you fellow Brit!
auto-gay
Sounds like a really bad transformers opponent.
Speaking from across the pond, I think Pete would have been brilliant… but then that’s hardly part of the job description any more is it? A breeze block with the ability to talk shit and grift would unfortunately be a far more electable candidate this year.
Plus, if electing a woman was too troublesome for people to handle, what would happen if they fielded one of the gays!!!?!??
It’s a disgrace really. Either Pete or Kamala would have been a safe pair of hands.
Man I’m sorry to hear that. I’m not going to pretend to know how you feel or give you hollow “I understand” or “it’s going to be okay” promises because I can’t back them up, and yeah the next few months are going to be proper shit.
All I can tell you is that having known you for half a dozen paragraphs on a phone screen, I already care about you more than that bumbling punchable arse piece that is going to make life difficult for a couple of years, and I think it’d be super cool if you stayed around a while.
I can’t promise you wonders, but I do hope you find your way.
I’m not sure where you’re going with that comment but I’m going to interpret it in the least-charitable way possible and assume you’re talking about suicide, and that ain’t the path to take, friend. Reach out - that omnishambles of a cockwomble isn’t worth it.
If you’re talking about moving or leaving the country, then good luck with that too 👍
Andrex is much cheaper, if admittedly a little less satisfying.
Yeah fingers crossed. I’m rather hopeful it won’t. That would really suck.
For all my sarcasm around what the war will be referred to in the history books, I’m hoping it will be a footnote in history and not one of the future’s biggest Wikipedia pages like the last one was.
