Yes, unfortunately.
Yes, unfortunately.
I think there might be a connection between poast-dot-org and poa-dot-st. The latter is a Neo-Nazi Pleroma instance. I haven’t seen any proof that the domains are connected. Might not be.
It connected all the conspiracy weirdos too, fwiw.
Every time Picard asks Data a question.
Look, you’re the one who set the Louvre as the standard for what is or isn’t art. If you want to keep moving the goalpost, by all means, explain what you actually think makes something art.
If inclusion in the Louvre is an obligatory status to be considered art, then makeup is absolutely art.
Nobody said anything anti-gun. This is a legitimate statistic.
If it feels anti-gun to you, it’s probably your conscience asking you if this is an acceptable side effect of unlimited gun rights. Maybe listen to that voice and think of an answer to that question.
Somebody really needs to do something about this kid.
The author of the article is right not to believe this claim. The author can say that their software was intended for whatever noble uses they want. We know from experience that software has mainstream off-label use.
Is BitTorrent really a tool for downloading community content like open films and Linux distros? Because that’s what the creators say it’s for. It’s not untrue.
Is Jellyfin or Plex a tool for organizing your ripped collection of CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays? That’s what the developers say. It’s not untrue
Is Tor a tool for protecting dissidents? That’s what they say it is. It really is that. But is that all it is?
This tool might be useful for identifying sex trafficking victims, just as a nudifying app might be useful for identifying victims of involuntary pornography.
But on the other side of this is that nudifying apps are more likely to be used to create involuntary pornography, and makeup-removal apps are more likely to be used to harass women.
No reason to ban AI technology or anything, but no reason to pretend that tools like this aren’t used for off-label and sometimes nefarious purposes.
I’ve edited people’s makeup and faces as part of the process of learning Photoshop, so I understand what you’re saying. There are perfectly normal applications for this.
The issue is intent. A lot of men think that women are “lying” when they wear makeup. They think that the most valuable quality a woman can have is natural beauty, and treat makeup as trickery.
There’s no shortage of men who think “You’d look better without makeup” is a compliment too.
An app like this would inevitably be used to help streamline the process of harassIng and negging women online.
There’s also the matter that women can put great time and effort into their makeup, and having someone remove their hard work from an image and throw it back at them is quite insulting. A makeup artist is still an artist and they likely don’t want their peers wielding tools designed specifically to nullify their work.
It shouldn’t be illegal or anything. No law against being an asshole. But it isn’t an app that will be used with good intent in most cases, and we should definitely pay attention because the “modify pictures of other people’s faces and bodies” use case for AI appears to have the potential to do a great deal of harm.
Toddler is age 1-3, so they are just about done.
Funny how they argue that they are content neutral every time someone calls them out for having Nazi customers, but they are more than happy to censor for capitalists.
You’re not going to hire a white man to play the little mermaid.
Don’t you tell me what to do.
Well, the gigantic pile of low-end audio I ripped using yt-dlp begs to differ. Half a million tracks so far. Perfect for my OpenSwim headphones. Tiny mp3s to maximize my 4GB of storage, and shit quality to match what I’m getting from bone conductors (which are, for no compelling reason, compatible with FLAC).
I swim a lot, and have a lot of free disk space, so I promise this makes sense.
It’s true. There’s a guy I used to follow on Twitter years ago who was an excellent shitposter. Can’t even remember his name, his username was some unpronounceable jumble of letters.
Fell down a flight of stairs and died at 30. Complete bullshit.
Some bangers:
“Guns don’t kill people, nothing kills people, people can’t die”.
“Get your fucking hands off of me, I’m a thought leader!”
“Every morning my boss shoots me in the head with a Smith & Wesson snub nose revolver, piercing my brain casing and killing me instantly, but do I stop going to work? No. Because I hope to do the same to employees of my own some day.”
I can’t even remember his first name, but I can remember these.
Yes, it’s a torrent site. Yes, it’s called Torrent Galaxy.
Is it related to the real Torrent Galaxy? Probably not.
It’s a breaded, fried baseball cap.
$700k was calculated assuming T&D and 2024 dollars, so you’re doubling down on math I already did.
The total budget for the suits in 1967 dollars was $100K/suit.
Just drone strike the debate. No survivors. People want both candidates off the table, give the people what they want.
