If you’re coding or whatever this is fine. But I would really, really like my doctors and engineers to be educated by other doctors and engineers.

You frame that as if the same can’t happen if you use AI. At least if you actually do the work you have the knowledge and the ability to research.

Can’t wait to see all the exciting ways this fucks up people’s computers.

Yes, how you socialize and how much it drains you are affected by whether or not you’re autistic and/or ADHD.

People who are naturally outgoing but also autistic/ADHD have the same drive to go out and interact with people, but due to differences in how they act/perceive the world wind up much more drained from the experience (either from sensory overstimulation or anxiety from people being unpredictable). This often leads to seeking out socialization less, even though they are just as desperate for it as anyone else who is naturally more extroverted.

And instead of typing up a paragraph every time they want to talk about it, they say introverted extrovert.

I wasn’t debating anything? I was agreeing with the comment I replied to. I even specified that I don’t blame people who don’t realize they’re reposting AI content.

I’m autistic and burnt out as shit right now, so sorry if I’m missing something that seems obvious to you.

Oops, I guess I was a little too spicy. I agree, we don’t need AI, and using the tools of billionaires instead of real art by human artists is at best misguided and at worst actively harming the people you purportedly want to help.

I don’t blame people for reposting it when they don’t realize it’s AI, it can be hard to tell.

I’m not saying “ding dong the witch is dead” wasn’t a perfect capture of the sentiment, but it’s also really hard to improve on “Lizzie’s in a box” for the sheer ability to send the most insufferable people on the planet into a frothing rage.

This is probably area dependent, but it’s fairly common for food pantries to give you a bag of random food. They usually try to group things that make sense and that people use and want, but they can only give out what’s been donated and what you get is what you get. Letting people actually pick and choose what they want both reduces waste and gives a sense of normalcy.

The reason IP exists isn’t a whatabout, it kinda sounds like you just don’t want to hear about anyone other than giant corporations benefitting from it.

In what sense is a ladder getting pulled up if IP is respected? Anyone can make a new IP, there’s not a limited supply of imagination. You can’t make everyone like what you come up with or buy it, but why should that entitle you to being able to profit off someone else’s work?

The imbalance against giant corporations isn’t anything to sneeze at, but there are just as many (probably more) small time companies breaking copyright law and hoping nobody notices. For example, stealing artwork to print on cheap crap that you sell below what the creator is selling them for. If they’re in an area that recognizes that copyright then they’re going to lose every time, and they’re not going to have enough money to drag it out. After that happens artists can recover all the earnings that were made with their work. Without that the artist is just fucked.

Alternatively, do read it if you’re having trouble cutting back on fast food spending!

On lemmy, a ban can be a few different things:

1. Banned from the instance your account is on. This means you have to make a new account, usually on a different instance.
2. Banned from a different instance than the one your account is on. This means you get banned from communities you’ve participated in on that instance, and that instance will no longer federate with your account. You might participate in new communities on that instance, and people not on that instance on your instance will see your comments, but people on the instance you were banned from and other instances won’t see them. From the perspective of that instance you don’t exist anymore.
3. Not banned from any instances, but banned from individual communities. You can’t post in that specific community but can still interact with the instance that community is on.

Like someone else said, clear as mud, lol.

Using this as a place to infodump because I just learned it: you know how haikus follow a 5-7-5 syllable pattern? For corridos every line is 8 syllables.

Okay for anyone who is fried at the moment like I am, map-wiki IS NOT ABOUT GEOGRAPHY.

Not using Nazi terminology is free

I can co-sign this if we can agree that some types of ‘disagreements’ don’t belong on the fediverse, a la the Nazi bar problem.

I’m into birds, and I prefer the forest too! Warblers don’t hang out at the beach, and down the path of seagull identification lies terror…

Your therapist is a gatekeeping fuckass, congrats on starting HRT!
