So one should just sacrifice everyone elses safety and privacy because you’re bad a recognizing faces? I get that it can be helpful, but you are literally uploading strangers faces and likeness to Meta’s servers without their consent. It’s creepy and predatory.

But steel is heavier than feathers…

They were gonna lay those people off regardless of whether or not they were using AI. The only difference is that if they say it was because of AI the line will go up and they will make more money. If anything, the extra money they make just by saying it was because of AI could easily pay the salary of those being layed off. It’s basically a magic word that gives them free money. I don’t even think wallstreet is even in on the hype and are just pumping it as high as they can so they can make out like bandits when shit hits the fan.

If it was the 100th, the 200th, or even the 300th I would get it. But the 250th? That literally means nothing. It’s like celebrating my 25th birthday as if it’s as big a deal as my 21st or 30th. In reality I don’t even remember my 25th birthday because nobody, including myself, gave a shit.

I’m pretty sure it’s literally just because the majority of those in power right now won’t be alive for the 300th birthday and they just picked the next best looking number they found find.

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely agree with you, but Steam is not the only place with this problem and Steam isn’t the only one with lackluster moderation for it. We literally wouldn’t be in the global political situations were in right now if it wasn’t for propaganda flooding every facet of the internet. Gamers are a minority internationally and most actual gamers think the steam forums are not even worth looking at.

I’m just saying don’t blame only blame Steam. There’s an issue with this type of shit literally everywhere and nobody in charge gives a shit.

I had this weird syncronisticity a few years back where at least once a week I’d look at the time it it’d be 4:04. I’d often say “404: Time not found” and literally nobody ever got it so I started just saying it in my head instead.

The majority of international airports in the US lie within sanctuary cities. The majority of legal immigration in the US occurs within sanctuary cities through said international airports.

I thought they were only punishing those that were illegal? /s

“The majority of people are against this? Nah, we’re right and this is just some kind of extremism.”

I’m aware. I’m just saying that it’d be catastrophic for all of us.

In my opinion, it’s not even meant to stop kids from using the internet. I believe it’s to collect data on people that don’t know any better or don’t care about uploading their ID or face to some mysterious server. The type of people that click “accept all” for cookies when they go to a website and those that live in the “if you don’t have anything to hide than it shouldn’t be a problem” camp. I have a friend like this that whenever I bring it up he simply does not give a single shit about his own privacy on the internet and just calls the whole thing, in his own words, a “nothingburger.”

Explaining this to the layman is honestly infuriating. They just tell you that you are overreacting and that it’s not a big deal. That if you have nothing to hide than you shouldn’t have to worry. An analogy I came up with that sometimes helps is removing all the doors in public bathrooms. If you have nothing to hide than you shouldn’t be worried, right? Are you comfortable with your mom or employer knowing your browsing habits with your ID and/or face attached to it? What about that time you posted a meme to your friends discord server making fun of Donald Trump?

Out of the top 10 busiest airports 6 are in democratic states and/or cities. Out of the top 5 international airports 3 of them are in democratic states and/or cities. If he did this it would literally grind our entire country to a halt.

Brown water means its got more minerals which are good for ya.

In my mind it’s the same idea as burning down your house to cook a burger. Yeah, you cooked the burger, but you literally destroyed everything else just to make it. Or you could just cook it on the stove.

With AI companies it seems they’d rather destroy the planet and poison the internet to a point of unusability just to make their AI models. Yeah, they’ll get their result, but they literally destroyed everything just to make it.

Personally I have nothing against AI and the practicality of it. I do, however, have a problem with AI companies destroying everything to achieve their vague goals of “the future.”

The only place I ever run into people that love AI is on the internet and old people posting “memes” on Facebook. Younger people especially hate AI.

And you’re the main character so you’ll be just fine, right?

That’s so dumb

I love it

S.L.O.P.

Significantly Lazy and Obvious Plagiarism.

I will never undersatnd that amount of cognitive dissonance that MAGA voters have. If there’s one thing the majority of Americans agree on it’s that corporations are ruining lives yet they cheer whenever things like this happen. I remember when the whole thing with Luigi happened and even MAGA had the same mindset as everyone else.

Well in that case, this only reinforces the idea that trying to ban them is an awful idea. If anything my initial definition is what most people in government assume is the only use when in reality they’d be causing a cyber security nightmare.

All I gotta say is if this type of thing actually goes through, working in IT and cyber security is going to be a nightmare.
