  As a furry, let me assure you that while the furry fandom is incredibly broad and covers a wide range of interests with surprisingly little overlap, perhaps the one thing that unites all of us is how much we despise zoophiles.

  If you’d like to see proof of this, look up Hypnotist Sappho.

  someday soon the bots might also count as a subset

  If you mean LLMs, you should give anything Sam Altman says about AGI about as much credence as you give Elon Musk talking about self driving cars. If you mean Fediverse users who identify as robots, they tend to get really angry if you refer to them as people.

  I mean that’s true of Mastodon also but most of those users are people who are at least one of trans, therian, or programmers, meaning they actually have brains in their heads

  “Redbull gives you diabeteeeees” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it

  But AI allows us to create meaningless bullshit in a FRACTION of the time! You don’t even have to be skilled at doing the thing the old fashioned way to be able to use AI to look competent to someone extremely credulous!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not sure they will⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Turning AI off for a week will not reveal anything to capitalist institutions whose stated purpose is to influence elections that they did not already know.

  What it will do is reveal within friend groups who has a brain that they’re willing to use and who’s been skating by on other people’s brains since long before ChatGPT came along.

  But you’re not, and anyone with at least two brain cells can see that.

  Which is true, and a good argument in favor of diabetics having easy access to sugary things – not having them when they’re needed can literally be life-threatening. It is not, however, am argument for everyone having easy access to them – corporations bet on people getting addicted to them, and sugary drinks in particular give a sharp increase in risk for developing diabetes.

  I mean, the comment also contains a statement of fact that is false.

  The debate over pineapple on pizza is old hat. It’s played out. Boring, one might even say, though for the record I’m firmly on the pro side.

  What’s not played out is strawberries on pizza.

  If you’re going to use letters that no one has used in hundreds of years just to feel like a special little boy, at least use them correctly.

  I’ve heard this said a lot, but I’ve yet to see any evidence that anyone believes it and it’s not just an exaggeration/troll.

  I’m having a little trouble believing even the manosphere is genuinely that deranged.

  It is on paper. You can host your own PDS (low-resource-requirement server that stores your posts). in practice, well over 90% of users use the default PDS, and even if you don’t, you’re subject to the whims of the relay (big-iron datacenter type server that retrieves posts from every PDS and aggregates them into a single stream for appviews to then display) that other people use to look at your posts. Bluesky is the main relay, and they have been known to censor people for the crimes of speaking out in favor of trans people in sports, or being Palestinian. Blacksky, a competing relay, seems to be a bit better, though I don’t personally know much about it. But the fact remains that running a relay server is really expensive, therefore few people can afford to do it, and a relay server is a gateway through which all posts must pass before they can be seen, therefore it’s a censor’s dream, and those two facts together make Bluesky de facto centralized.
