I think their point was that the hole has to go all the way though for it to count topologically
The vagina ends at the uterus, and milk ducts don’t go all the way through either
- Comment on Our dancers have infinite curves 2 weeks ago:
You have posted so many of my favourite memes on Lemmy. Absolutely top tier shitposting 😭
- Comment on How YOU Can Make Cops Stop Uhaul Nazis 2 weeks ago:
Thats entirely possible, in which case the approach will probably have to change.
Though it does feel a lot sillier to imagine nazis all bulkled in in a van or bus like children on their way to after school practice
- Comment on How YOU Can Make Cops Stop Uhaul Nazis 3 weeks ago:
I always appreciate productive, actionable information and suggestions over quips and taglines.
The important thing is doing anything we can to achieve material improvements to the problem, I’m glad you agree :)

Thanks for your input! I’ll have to take a minute some time to go to the web interface and just look around db0 and see for myself whether it feels like a good fit for me, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

If you can think of somewhere more directly relevant to cross post this please feel free to! :)

Yeah, I’m not really mad at that. I don’t think it changes my sentiment towards generative ai, but I don’t mind people finding ways to create their own fun and roleplaying or whatever
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 weeks ago:
Generative ai and machine learning are pretty broadly considered different if adjacent technologies if I’m not mistaken
forbes.com/…/the-vital-difference-between-machine… probably not the best source, I just grabbed what came up
They don’t really do the same thing, and have different types of outputs compared to one another, even if both use a neural network of weights or whatever
As a person who has spent a huge amount of my life making art I think the idea that it will get more people into art is naive, and I think being devoid of understanding artistic principles it makes poor reference compared to anything else, which is part of why artists communities loathe generative AI. I follow tons of artists online and they all periodically have to stop and vent their frustration.
A youtuber artist did a whole video explaining how finding reference on the internet is now borderline impossible due to ai content, and after problem solving explained you can avoid that problem by only looking at images older than when gen ai became widespread. It reached a pretty big audience and was extremely well recieved by artists, broadly, hate gen ai and want nothing to do with it 😅
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 weeks ago:
I think the appeal of seeing stuff that people make is that it reflects the humans who made it.
I’m generally not especially interested in what an algorithm produces, at least not in the same way or for the same reason as I am things made by people.
I don’t know what gen ai could produce that I would sincerely find good.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 weeks ago:
Is that generative ai or machine learning? I really don’t have the same issue with machine learning
Its not just llm’s, I find calling ai generated images “art” frankly offensive and demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what art is and why anyone should care about it. But my issue is really just generative ai
I don’t really think people have an issue with machine learning, it’s useful for all kinds of stuff, and doesn’t really come with the same ethical problems as best I’m aware, so I have no reason to complain about it.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 weeks ago:
That is genuinely really interesting, I didn’t expect it to be db0. Thanks!
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 weeks ago:
Huh, I wouldn’t have guessed db0, interesting. I’d kinda considered exploring db0 as a future instance but maybe its not such a good fit for me. Thanks for the answer!
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 weeks ago:
That doesn’t really help me or add anything to the conversation. I already have views on ai, I was really just asking about the dynamics and cultures of different instances because I find learning about those cultural differences interesting.
I’m personally not a fan. Its a commercial product built on the theft of intellectual labor by creatives and the primary selling point of generative ai is that it can replace the people who do that creative labor. I’ve tried using it at various points and it straight up made stuff up and ended up not helping me find what I was looking for at all. I tried to use it to generate practice text I could translate into Japanese for language learning and it constantly used words other than the ones provided- words I didn’t know in japanese.
It has hypothetically useful usecases, that I pretty much never see anyone actually implement, and it feels very clear that the only reason anyone is investing in it is because it can reduce the need to pay actual humans, generating more money for people who already have tons, while wasting huge amount of electricity and resources.
Telling me, apropos of nothing, that having a stance other than neutral is “stupid” doesn’t add anything, give me anything to consider, substantiate any stance, provide any details, etc. I don’t really need to know that you think I’m stupid for not liking ai.

Huh, thank you for the additional info!
- Comment on Anon describes experience 3 weeks ago:
Lol, yeah somehow that would sink even lower. It fucking drove me up the wall when I was a kid
- Comment on Anon describes experience 3 weeks ago:
I had a math teacher at my stem highschool claim that the touch screens on the ipads worked by heat and that if you touch them too much the screen will get too warm and stop responding
She also told students their computer was slow because they had too many desktop shortcuts, or hadn’t emptied their “trash” files.
There was also an argument we had over whether something was actually a 3d vector or multiple 2d vectors but I don’t wanna dredge my memories for the exact details, it was dumb.

I appreciate that it seems like you considered my perspective :)
Hope you have a nice day!
- Comment on Anon has a dream 1 month ago:
Men often struggle with isolation, poor self esteem, and mental health issues, telling them they deserve their misery and loneliness only feeds the hateful behaviour you take issue with.
It’s currently men’s mental health awareness month. We can do better than antagonizing the mentally ill, isolated and suffering for our own emotional gratification at their expense. Its actively counterproductive to fixing the societal issues their toxicity creates, and its also needlessly cruel.
