    If anyone has the GPUs to self-host LLMs to spam the shit out of them, it’s gamers. Gotta get on an easy-to-self-host project to distribute to the community 😄

    It’s impressive how much people get riled up about not getting porn. I don’t blame them but I also don’t see this as activism, I doubt anyone really spending the time on this cares about possible future censorship that others who are not them may face, they just want to buy their porn.

      This is not about the porn. If you think about it for more than 3 seconds it becomes obvious how this is about the power finance institutions have over morals and society and how religious groups leverage moral panics as a way to weasel in harm and destroy minorities by associating immorality with marginalized groups. Just like pro-life anti choice has nothing to do with saving children, but is about hurting women and controlling their uteruses. Terfism has nothing to do with feminism but is about hurting trans people. Drug wars weren’t about protecting the youth but about destroying the rights of Hispanic and black communities. And a long list of etcéteras.

      This is about defending fundamental rights that will get trampled under the guise of moral and religious righteousness. It’s about power and control. Porn is just the scapegoat.

    Now bombard senators and reps about Palestine, the global South, Africa, Asia, and domestically, rent caps, grocery caps, single payer, comprehensive health, living wages, safe working and living conditions, fossil fuels, climate extinction, taxing TF out of the ultrawealthy and mega corps, chemicals out of food, water, air…

      World peace, end hunger are not entertaining as “How to get an A from your professor - sorority/fraternity party edition” (coming to iOS and Android).

      You have underestimated the power of porn games.

        That’s also why in the middle of the previous century propaganda was mostly aimed at women. That’s killing two birds with one stone.

      “What about” is a fantastic way to breed apathy when people are protesting something. You’re doing nothing for any of those causes with this comment. You’re making things worse for all of those causes, plus the one this post is about. And your comment only tangentially relates to the Community this post is in…

        But how can I be expected to sign the SKG petition, while people in West Sahara live under Morocco’s unjust occupation?

      Everyone has their path into activism and politicization. Last time this happened was when wikileaks got blocked by visa/mastercard, next time, with this experience it may be one of those causes.

        There’s always a gap between “Someone should do something about this” and “I should do something about this”.

        Once that line gets crossed, plans like OP’s post start.

        Yeah they’re starting with something that hit close to home without feeling like they’ll get disappeared or ignored.

      honestly there needs to be a git project that I can clone that uses a local LLM to auto call all of the senators, congressmen, reps, whoever. Also call all of the visa/mastercard callcenters non stop. And I mean non stop. Bonus points to use public figure voices. As in use AI to do our bidding.

        Seems like it would be a good place to start. You’d need to write the bit in order to send the output to a voip service and receive the input from the same service.

        If you could get that going in a container you could spawn a bunch of them on VPSs (finding ones that have the hardware to run local AI would probably be expensive, probably better to use a hosting service if you’re going to scale this).

        I’m sure there are more conversation agent frameworks that people have built (it’s a pretty simple loop to create), but if you wanted to get started this isn’t bad.

      Because Visa and MasterCard might actually change their minds. They are a business and they don’t want this shit if it becomes more annoying to deal with gamers than it is to deal with random whiny Australians they’ll reverse their decision.

      Trump on the other hand is made of his mind and that’s the end of it. Obviously you should still continue to complain because it’s hilarious how upset he gets about it, but that list is never seeing the light of day until he’s out of office, one way or another.

      Protesting against christofascists in the government isn’t mutually exclusive with protesting a christofascist censorship organization. You can protest two things at once, you know.
