Hey yall I really want to make some more LGBT+ friends and this is really difficult where I live currently so if you are also in need of some friendship send me a message!
people understand that Spanish speakers speak different dialects of the Spanish language but don’t understand that black people speak a dialect of the English language
saw a variation of this conversation on twitter earlier
I just want to state for the record that this is completely uncontroversial among linguists. It’s the first day of sociolinguistics class.
I miss when we lived in a time where I wasn’t worried about accidentally engaging with ai slop
ever since the Sora app was launched not even a week ago, it is #1 app downloaded worldwide, videos are scary realistic, it took 2 days before someone made child sexual abuse material with it. It’s invite ONLY and someone already made csam.
fuck ai.
I agree with your frustration but… csam requires actual real children to be harmed. This is an important distinction. The making of porn via ai does not harm actual real children. Therefore it is not csam. Even if the porn depitcts a child.
You can have whatever opinion you want about ai being used to depict a child being abused - find it morally reprehensible, disgusting, etc. But please realize that it is not equivalent to actual, real csam because there are no real children being abused.
“no real children are being abused”
ai can only create from pictures and videos of real children.
children are seeing other (ai) children play with adult toys because adults are making this content and it can be used as material to groom them. that’s what they do. predators use snuff films and porn to show and normalize it and that’s why I consider these ai videos csam.
stop being like “WELL ACTUALLY this isnt csam bc its just 9 different real children to make this ai so that doesn’t count”
Not to mention that AI can be and has been used to make CSAM of real, existing children and has been sent to them. Jenna Ortega made the choice to leave social media because she was being sent AI CSAM of her as a 14 year old. And I believe that was her receiving them as an adult. There are so many kidfluencers now, which is a totally separate issues, but what happens when these kids who are likely to already be sexualized by their audience and parents for views, then have to deal with getting AI images and videos of them being sexually abused @’d straight to them? There is no way you could ever convince me that that isn’t CSAM.
my dad is currently building a shelf for his power tools in the shed. beautifully poetic - without the tools, he would have no means to build the shelf; but without them, there would also be no need to build it in the first place. the snake bites its own tail. if the tail was makita compact circular saw
I saw some weird ass conspiracy video thing today of like ‘we were never meant to have access to yeast, that was cultivated in a lab and it harms us’ bullshit and I was like well first off there’s no such thing as 'meant to’ and second of all um? the long history of acquiring yeast from beer foam stretching so far back ??????
….you can acquire yeast FROM THE AIR.
If you want to make sourdough started from scratch, the process is 'mix water, flour, and maybe sugar if you’ve got it, then WHIP IN AS MUCH AIR AS YOU CAN’ and let it sit. And this works. Because there’s yeast there. In the air.
Not only is there yeast in the air, it’s on a bunch of fruits, too. Ever rubbed a blueberry, plum, or grape, and it was slightly darker underneath? That thin film is wild yeasts. There is also yeasts that live on human skin (and not just pathogenic ones!). We are never without yeasts.
You do not have access to yeast; yeast has access to you.
yknow how the greener parts of apple skin are tan lines from where leaves and branches obscure the sun? I’m surprised I’ve never seen anyone utilize that for printmaking
