it's funny that the banned creep cannot stop getting in their own way. ppl love to lol at old forum drama, it's a popular vein for low effort content now, but they don't like the aggro commentary, creep defence, and fetish-forward hosting. also admitting he's guy mann like people would watch his pathetic video instead of googling his name and seeing for themselves lmao

what is it with these permabanned freaks and AI?

It's not a lot, but this whole wave of AI Art and ChatGPT has really brought out the insane tech opinion people in a way I haven't seen since Less Wrong and the whole Roko's Basilisk debut.

I thought equating AI as higher function then disabled people was wild, but now you have someone who apparently thought that AI magic would fix depression/brain problems.

I think alot of it is pseudo-religious, they see the emergence of AI as a kind of rapture that will liberate them from the burden of their lives, then they won't have to do anything beyond base hedonism because the computers will be living for them

tbh i think its simpler than this and theyre just computer programmers who feel slighted that people see value in a skillset they dont have, so they want to be able to program their way into being an artist

There’s a lot of current drama in the TG board about this and they recently put out a rule that contains AI talk and stuff to one thread except if it isn’t used in a “low-effort” way, whatever the gently caress that means.

This has had the effect of pissing off everybody on both sides.

definitely part of it. i dipped my toe into the ai thread in d&d (rookie mistake, i know) because they were discussing linguistics, something i have some background in, and it was wild how little some of them understand things that aren't in that rigid binary stem wheelhouse.

this is also why that guy was transphobic i think because he was all 'follow the Numbers' but literally any research you look at shows hormones and gender reassignment surgery and stuff have lower regret rates than like, literally surgeries where the patient would be dead within 6 months without it.

and i dont think anyone is against pointing out real risks and problems with treatments to prospective patients but there's a difference between making sure people understand it isnt a magic hot girlifier, you'll still need to put in a lot of effort to achieve your desired presentation and genetics play a role in how good you'll look, and fearmongering poo poo about pooping out your dick or whatever.

i realize im arguing with a permabanned brick wall in another room but its weird how often guys are like 'just pay attention to the Science... except the science that disagrees with me'

Personally I'm torn between finding some of the new AI stuff coming out really cool, and also absolutely not wanting it to be used to take bread out of the mouths of artists.

Progression in tech always displaces some jobs, but gently caress man, lets not farm out works of human expression out to the algorithm (which are just going to be mismatches of human work anyway, applied via a very complex pattern matching routine).
