Full of ads, trash and pollution

Yeah, seems like a pretty accurate depiction of our future.

Is this a drug joke I’m too square to understand?

Best I can do is abstract and discussion. Take it or leave it.

Not only was My Sharona explicitly inspired by a 17yo girl the guitarist was dating, the name of their second album was “…But the Little Girls Understand

These guys were pretty on the nose about what they liked…

Only band that was even more on the nose was Oingo Boingo with the song “Little Girls”, though I guess the singer said it was meant to be some kind of sick joke intended to offend.

Also a random coincidence, but apparently the parody song “My Bologna” was what kickstarted Al Yankovic’s career.

IIRC it was something like a fraction of a fraction of 1% that was CSAM, with the researchers identifying the images through their hashes but they weren’t actually available in the dataset because they had already been removed from the internet.

Still, you could make AI CSAM even if you were 100% sure that none of the training images included it since that’s what these models are made for - being able to combine concepts without needing to have seen them before. If you hold the AI’s hand enough with prompt engineering, textual inversion and img2img you can get it to generate pretty much anything. That’s the power and danger of these things.

This did happen a while back, with researchers finding thousands of hashes of CSAM images in LAION-2B. Still, IIRC it was something like a fraction of a fraction of 1%, and they weren’t actually available in the dataset because they had already been removed from the internet.

You could still make AI CSAM even if you were 100% sure that none of the training images included it since that’s what these models are made for - being able to combine concepts without needing to have seen them before.

I watched hbomb’s essay on Pathologic recently and got recommended a bunch of vids about Fear & Hunger as a result, so it left me wondering if there are more of these games that are grueling to play but which are fun to discuss/watch essays on…

Posting about this in a place as left-leaning as Lemmy really won’t positively impact Fuentes in any way. We just get to have a good laugh at the fact that he and other Nazis are complete buffoons.

This was me when I accidentally killed a Whimsun early in Undertale and didn’t bother resetting because I thought I could still get a pacifist ending as long as my LV hadn’t gone up. Though at the end of the day I guess it was fine since I got to test all the mean and flirty options that I hadn’t picked before.

I’m not old enough to have used Limewire myself, but my dad used eMule to download some songs and movies that we liked in the early 2000s.

Still, at 24 I’m basically middle-aged in internet years.

For a more succinct answer:

It’s obviously tongue-in-cheek, but it gets the point across lol

Not to sound like a Twitter wokescold or whatever, but Shaun does this all the time. A cishet white guy from England who won’t be affected in any way by the outcome of the U.S. election, yet constantly tweets and retweets about how the Democrats and Republicans are totally equally bad and voting makes no difference.

But when we look at what Republicans are doing and saying like…

  • Trump saying he’ll be a “dictator for one day”
  • His lawyers arguing that a president killing an opponent should be considered an official act protected by law
  • The potential Republican vice-candidate bragging about shooting a puppy and other farm animals
  • Reports that DeSantis enjoyed torturing people at Guantanamo
  • Multiple Republican politicians and pundits calling for the eradication of trans people

I think this take doesn’t hold up. It’s no coincidence that many of the people with this mentality are also the ones who’ll be minimally affected by a Republican presidency, if at all.
