‘The freedom to choose not to host it’ is such an insidious way to frame censoring opinions you don’t like on your platform. So the tankie triad can censor anarchist opinions, and that’s fine, because they’re just choosing to not host your content’?

You’re right, at least if you divide continents by being separated by surface water on all sides.

Ah yes, the most rational Lemming claiming that removing content isn’t censorship - rather than arguing that censorship can be good, actually

I think Lemmy is beyond the eyes of the law. At least, hopefully.

Ah, my apologies. It was unclear

Excuse me, censorship is not good in any way. The people should have the power to decide what they want to see, and what they want to say. Not government officials nor private platform owners.

I totally agree that the rest of it is nonsense, I was just commenting on the what it is/what it does bit

When was this written? Also, it’s not entirely untrue to say that we know what electromagnetic force does, but not what causes it. They say it’s a ‘fundamental force’, which is basically way of saying we can’t further reduce it to explain in terms of other stuff. We don’t know what any of the fundamental forces (electromagnetism, gravity, and the strong and weak nuclear forces) really are - we can only describe their effects on the world with maths (‘what they do’)

The reason is that humans are expensive, and they don’t want to spend their time programming simply if they can get an AI to give them a functioning project with much less time and effort - at least, commercially.

Two consenting 16 year olds having sex is neither child abuse, nor illegal in the UK.

I’ve heard several different reasons, which one is it for you?

1. Copyright
2. Water usage
3. Appeal to tradition
4. Lack of creativity
5. Something else?

Also, are you against all AI (such as NPC AI, chess robots, intelligent vacuum cleaners, etc) or specifically LLMs/generative AI?

Didn’t you hear about the scandals with Steam and Itch with traditional centralised payment processors? Decentralised payments like crypto are a method of solving that issue.

But it introduces barriers. It’s much more of a faff to do this than just use your own face, and they’ll probably remove the feature now people have made it public and force you to upload an identity document.

This is all terrible for privacy, and for the decentralised nature of the internet. For years it’s been being chipped away at, but now entire parts of the internet are going to be locked behind a few age verification services, and entirely inaccessible for under 18s or privacy conscious people. This is really bad for information freedom.

I was just referring to the last part

Of course, I just meant the last part

Is this a reference to https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/583:_CNR?

The most the payment processors can do is refuse to work for them. All the free games will still be available and they’ll have to find new payment processors.

Showing opposition is good, if they find the community is so against this maybe they’ll not grin and bear the nonsense of the payment processors. They could move to new payment processors, or use crypto to pay.

I can’t wait until AI video is good enough that you can input a book and it outputs a movie which is as faithful as you like to the original, you can change how all the characters look, etc
