It’s crazy that you can read the individual attackers names (in the linked referenced other page), visit their social media profiles, see their happy family pictures, while they’re out there shelling other people and families.

And then you see even stuff like

- mother, on June 28, 2022, a day after the terrorist attack in Kremenchuk, reposted a post about “The Deadliest Plane - TU-22m3.” Missiles from such a plane hit the Amstor shopping mall;

Insane.

Holy mother of misinterpretation and misrepresentation. Did you not read their comment, did you not understand their comment, or did you choose to ignore and misrepresent it?

because the pedestrian had been jaywalking

can’t have something unexpected non-standard in city traffic after all, that’s not allowed!

Over the last 3–4 months, we have observed that CPUs initially working well deteriorate over time, eventually failing. The failure rate we have observed from our own testing is nearly 100%, indicating it’s only a matter of time before affected CPUs fail.

damn

when you had to

Everyone HAD to do it. ✂️

Putin, Trump, and Musk. They’re doing the same thing. Lying without restraint, freely, at every opportunity.

"The European Commission offered X an illegal secret deal: If we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us.

Maybe we can translate that claim to what may have happened?

“The European Commission asked X to conform to regulation protecting its citizens or face fines.”

How about adding a check mark to the money icon? I think that fits better.

Name 💵✅ or Name 💵✔️

As if to say “has money”, or “spent money”.

Hello. This is the EU grammar police. Please fix your typo. Thank you for your cooperation.

Looks like he’s getting sucked in and will disappear

I certainly didn’t expect an acceptance speech…

Lol, they added a “Location” to the winners (winner characters)

I guess it’s more about the characters than only AI-generated images.

In a CNN article titled, “The first Miss AI has been crowned — and she’s a Moroccan lifestyle influencer,” fashion journalist Jacqui Palumbo writes, "Meet Kenza Layli, a Moroccan lifestyle influencer who hopes to bring ‘diversity and inclusivity’ to the AI creator landscape.

That’s the real problem, isn’t it? Not the original character contest, with a clear setting. But others promoting the characters as if they were real people.

There is no artistry. […] It’s all a bunch of fake stupidity and I can’t understand why anyone would care at all about this, much less deign to critique it from a feminist perspective. It doesn’t seem worthy of spending the time analyzing it to that degree.

I really don’t get this take.

If they’re crafting prompts and iterations they are crafting. If they’re crafting them according to artistic concerns on the output, there’s artistry.

It’s a different kind. But I don’t see why it would be immediately disqualified just because it’s something different.

It’s much closer to creative/producing arts than it is to classic beauty pageants.

Why would a girl feel pressured to look as good as an image that doesn’t have actual bones or organs or skin pores - not even fucking gravity.

If you can interpret it as an image of a woman then there is correlation. What they are sourced from doesn’t make a difference.

Do you think photoshopped images or makeup also don’t change perception and consequently influence beauty standards? Those are also not based on the inherent physical properties of the original bodies.

They shared sexually explicit images in whatsapp groups. You consider that similar to having personal thoughts nobody will know of or written stories?

“were completely terrified and had tremendous anxiety attacks because they were suffering this in silence.”

Have you dismissed this quote? I don’t know where to start explaining how it’s different from what you described because of how far off it is. I have no idea where the baseline is to argue from.

Humans are a social creature. We form groups, and want to be part of groups. Teens are especially vulnerable with a developing personality, social norms, and social belonging. Breaking norms and violating common personal barriers and control of self-expression and self-presentation is deeply violating in a vulnerable phase of life.

They didn’t create a personal collection. They shared in their social groups.

I find it baffling how much criticism/this stuff goes around and gets published. Which may not be surprising, it’s central to the current politics, people are invested, and press is always interested in stuff like this. Hysteria and social media trends were a thing before too. Press always rides on about the same thing until it’s over or something better comes along.

But with Russias huge investments in destabilizing the western nations with stuff like this, I have to wonder how much of it is caused or extrapolated by its involvement. Especially when I hear/read “on social media” in press, where Russias primary focus lies.

There’s no simple or single answer in a complex world. But Russia is certainly looking at this in a very satisfied way. It and what follows with the election may very well be the culmination of many years of destabilization efforts.

We’re not talking about pedo stuff here.

Do you want an explanation of why creating and sharing sexually explicit material of other people without consent is problematic and damaging, and especially for children?

If I were holding the most bitcoin I wouldn’t feel the need nor want to mine more. One could do better with that kind of money. In this case, even doing nothing would have been better.

“That pain was worse than childbirth.”

First time I have heard that as pain classification in an article.

I’m not surprised unlisted content would show up. A single public or leaked link means unlisted is discoverable elsewhere than the primary listings. YouTube can’t solve that. The private alternative setting already exists.

The problem with law solutions is that they only work as far as the law and prosecution reaches. Maybe the western nations will agree on common policies. Like they do on copyright for example. But will China follow? Russia? Smaller countries? Will the prosecution be active or realistically possible?

Laws are important as agreed upon baselines. But they’re no technical guarantees. They’re quite limited on a public, accessible Internet.
