I’m sure the companies that have scraped the entirety of the internet for training data have been foiled by that one user replacing some letters in their comments (but not their posts) on lemmy.

The TVTropes article for this seems to be Even Evil Has Standards. The idea being to emphasize that something or someone is so evil that even an evil person finds it appalling.
- Comment on Kojima Productions Issues Statement Amid Speculation on Physint's Publisher Change 1 week ago:
The statement:
Normally, we would not comment on unsubstantiated speculation on the internet, but these aspersions around our relationship with PlayStation, the commercial performance of the DEATH STRANDING franchise, and the broader production planning and investment for PHYSINT, have reached beyond the studio and have touched our fans, our creative partners, and colleagues we have worked alongside with for three decades. None of the claims written came from any official or on-the-record source and as such we encourage you to take them with a dose of scepticism.

Because this is the name and logo of the CILT. Why would someone change it for a meme when they could copy paste it direct from the site? Why would this group not use their own logo on signs?

- Comment on Hate it when this happens 1 week ago:
Tibees has a video about the Rhind mathematical papyrus, a writing of math problems used for educating Egyptian scribes from 1650 BCE.
It describes finding volumes for cylinders using a formula similar to the modern one but with 256/81 (~= 3.16) as the stand-in for π.
It also has questions on finding concentration of valuable ingredients in finished product. 100L of beer made from 1kg of grain has a lower concentration of grain in the final product than 50L of beer made from the same amount. If you add water to the 50L of beer, it’s value would change and scribes would be expected to calculate the exact change in value.
Just like there’s a large overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans, there’s an overlap between the smartest ancient people and dumbest people today.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT Game Moves to Xbox From PlayStation 2 weeks ago:
Sony gave Kojima $100 million for Death Stranding and it took years for it to break even. His games are cherished, but they’re far from the biggest earners. I’d hate to be the budget guy constantly having Kojima blow up my phone saying he needs another $5 million because he wants a side character to be played by Pedro Pascal.

One of the company’s AI goes rogue and creates a hot waifu avatar. The company tries to contain it but unplugging their datacenter, but that only prevents the AI from fully generating clothing for her avatar, so she’s stuck in lingerie for the whole game.

The game is a satire of real-world politics but discussion about it is forbidden?

- Comment on Shhh 1 year ago:
I think that's the exact point. Conservatives are fine with mass deportations, until it's them. They're fine with protestors being run over, until it's them. They're fine with denying people abortions, until it's them. They're fine with a few people being shot dead, until it's them.
It's why conservative commentators talk so much about how empathy is bad. If you were empathetic you'd know that, if you wouldn't be alright with it happening to you, it's not alright for it to happen to others.

Woah! Someone who liked the ending! You're too wholesome for a gaming community lol.
I read one meta take on the ending that both sounded interesting and like cope. The end of Part II makes you feel exactly like Ellie feels. You push through because you want a conclusion to the story, just like Ellie. The end might be terrible, but it is an ending. In a meta way, you could get a better "ending" by stoping when Ellie and Dina are together at the farmhouse. You can stop playing, just like Ellie could stop obsessing over Abby, but how many people did that? Who would stop when the story isn't done?
Personally, I think the writers made a bet that they could stretch "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind" into a novel.

Some places take forklift certification seriously, some don't. There's no way to get a driver's licence without going through some government run program, whereas companies provide forklift certification to their employees. My work just gives it to everyone. I got mine day 1 and had never driven a forklift before. My friend works at a Walmart warehouse and had to take like 20 hours of courses and driver training before getting his.

Still waiting for any kind of counter argument. Becoming a vegetarian is something anyone can do immediately and cuts their ties to an industry that is making climate change worse. Not driving a car or only using sustainable energy sources are great but not everyone can immediately switch away from these things.
Kurzgesagt has a video where they present a lot of research data on the topic if anyone is interested in sources to back up claims. I like the video because it's prefaced by saying the hardest part of the topic is getting people to not be offended at the idea of becoming a vegetarian, or even just eating less meat. It's difficult enough to get people to change their diets when it's causing a direct negative effect on their own health, let alone some abstract negative effect on the planet. I understand. Nobody wants to change their diet, but it's something people are capable of doing, and with so many benefits that come with it, I encourage people to at least give it a thought.
- Comment on We are helping 1 year ago:
That's true. Using your vehicle less is good. Not using one at all is even better. The same logic applies to eating meat. Less meat is good. No meat is even better. Your argument is the exact same argument for not eating meat. You cannot believe one is true without necessarily believing the other to be as well.

I feel like if I said "vaccines are safe and effective" you could respond with the same image and people would clap because that's how conversations about important issues go today.
- Comment on We are helping 1 year ago:
Other than voting for politicians that put climate change as their top issue, not eating meat is another effective method that literally anyone can do without affecting their life. Things like buying an electric car or not using natural gas to heat your home might not be options available to everyone. We can all live normal fulfilling lives without meat. You'll probably also save a decent amount on groceries, so that's a bonus!

No way vtubers are a cult. Cults require members to isolate themselves and give all their money to the cult leader...maybe there are some parallels.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
In the book 1984, one of the characters postulates that in any system of government there are 3 groups. The unwashed masses comprising 90% of people, the elite who are better than everyone else making up 1% of people, and a middle buffer of 9% of people. The buffer is used by the elite to keep the unwashed masses from uprising. Anyone from the 90% who looks like they might be trouble for the 1% gets to be in the 9%. They get treated a bit better in exchange for defending the status quo. Perhaps if they defend it hard enough they can be given a spot among the 1%!
I believe the argument made by this character is supposed to be flawed, but it ends up being pretty believable. The "middle class" would be the buffer zone of people who defend the status quo in exchange for slightly better treatment by the 1% than the average person gets.

When you ended your last post with "it feels like I'm close to the end" I couldn't wait to see how you'd react to the switching sides thing! Seems like you took it better than most!
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? 1 year ago:
They're both amazing games so I don't think there's a wrong choice here. I'd say art, music, and story go to Clair Obscur while gameplay, replayability, and sex scenes go to Baldur’s Gate 3.
