  Copyrighting voices to defeat AI would achieve nothing. Modern AI’s can be overtrained to the point where they strongly resemble their training data, but that is a problem that will be fixed within the next 5 years, which is way earlier than we will see any legislation regarding AI if our geriatric government is anything to go by. After that, AI will generate its “own” content that will be legally protected as its intellectual property.

  I base this off of the fact that every media from humans is inspired by previous media. Fundamentally, once it stops directly plagiarising, there is no legal distinction between what a human would be doing and what an AI would be doing, unless we want to come up with a legal classification of “human” that explicitly rejects AI.

  That opens up a whole new can of worms though. If you define human to be having human dna, does that mean the 3 babies they have been genetically altered are not human? Or are they, because they comtain at least some human dna? Does that mean i can give my AI a vestigial organ and now its legally protected? Does it have to run off a brain? What is a brain? If i duplicate the neural connections in a brain with mosfets down to every single connection, that is indisputably a human intelligence running on possibly non human hardware depending on the word of law. Or is it a human intelligence? They would react the exact same way to their organic counterpart, down to having the same memories and emotions. Does their non-biological hardware preempt them from being human? Does a pacemaker? Or neuralink?

  Theres a lot to be worked out here, but it seems to me to be much less problematic to target the people wanting to misuse AI rather than targetting the tool itself.

  Tfw i use AI as a tool to get stuff done, not to feel good about the process and get to call myself an artist.

  I think they were making a joke. Its the same vein as if you said you dont care about dad jokes then they made a really bad one and said “are you sure?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  The issue with the leftists as youve described them is that AI IS happening. There will be no stopping it, no containing it. Its already reshaping our world. And by downplaying its future potential(ai will never be able to identify objects, oops it can now. AI will never be able to make art, whoops it can now. AI will never be able to replace a human in every industry…) you are actively stiffling discussion on how to manage those effects. Anyone who has been seriously following AIs progression over the last ten years can see the patterns on the wall. The time of human workers is over. The only question is whether were going to use AI for the benefit of everyone, or for the benefit of the elite. And by convincing consumers they shouldnt use, even though you cant convince the elite not to, you are only pushing the dial further in the wrong direction.

  RIGHT NOW we need to embrace AI. Humans have already shown that we are either incapable or unwilling to run a functional society. Putting something else in charge to make the decisions humans cant or wont is the only possible future we have. Ofc Im not asking to out an llm in charge of the world. But I am asking that people actually do something about their world leaders and start getting ubi implemented today. Because soon enough we will have an AI capable of making those decisions. And make them it will. And thats either a good thing under the post scarcity society weve built, or people rolled over and ignored the problem until they decided they dont need us anymore and get rid of us.

  They did make the comic. They might not’ve made the images, but they are the ones that came up with the idea and put it together. It’s an expression from their mind, and therefore them watermarking it is a nonissue.

  It does just seem scummy, it is scummy to gatekeep art.

  Isreal is not all of the jews. Just because isreal is doing something does not make it OK to judge jews by that standard.

  It also matter a lot because again it’s a religion directly feeding or being used as an excuse, for genocide. That is basically the one thing religion is really good for, making people feel okay about horrible actions

  Thats… what I said. Those that attempt to justify anything by saying theyre Jews are outing themselves are genocide supporters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anybody actually care that a dude chanted "Death, Death to the IDF" at Glastonbury?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  After seeing what isreal is doing, Hamas doesnt seem so bad. The only thing I heard about them to begin with was that they launched a supposedly unprovoked attack on isreali citizens and kidnapped several. Well, in retrospect, yeah, kinda seems jusitifed.

  I don’t actually support Hamas, I just don’t know anything about them. But at this point I know theyre fighting isreal so that makes them at least not the worst people involved in this conflict.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anybody actually care that a dude chanted "Death, Death to the IDF" at Glastonbury?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, them being jewish matters exactly 0. Even bringing it up is literally just an attempt to muddy the waters, and as such it’s the simplest way to find out who supports genocide.

  I dunno, at this point im pretty sure trump could demand the death or every first born and americans would bend over. It is beyond wild that we have not had an armed uprising yet, and i gave up hope that we will ever have one years ago.

  Bruh the generational shit is propaganda. Take a normie from any generation and theyll be the same. The only legit generalization is that theres a much higher correlation with being a boomer and being a piece of shit. Having relatively little historical knowledge, i can only assume that back in those days being a piece of shit was literally taught in school.

  Now class war? That I’m always down for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does technology come from in Star Wars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent a couple minutes searching and i cant find anything about that. That would be some pretty cool lore and go a ways to explain why humans are compatable with so many species. I did find some sources that state that humans were their preferred slaves, and that they massively helped humanity by taking their slaves all across the galaxy during a time when the infinite empire was the only group to have hyperdrive tech. Humans were working to colonise their solar system and the surrounding areas when we got conquered by the rakatans. It is worth noting that coruscant is the cannonical home world of humans in star wars, which means the rakatans at one point conquered coruscant. It’s also worth noting that “Earth” does exist in legends lore, han solo goes to Earth and i think he fights dinosaurs, i cant remember.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does technology come from in Star Wars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe the general sterility was related to dark side degredation. They really just got brutally fucked by abusing the dark side as an entire culture and species. Which like, fuck them, they’re evil, but damn they really shot themselves in the foot.

  As for gathering genetic data from the lesser races, I do not recall. They wanted to wipe out all other races afair so i dont see why they would want to keep their dna around, and from the rakatans i remember, their race would rather die than intentionally infuse themselves with the lesser races dna. They did conquer huge swaths of the galaxy and kept most everything theyd find as slaves, but those were viewed as highly expendable, not even worth treating decently enough that they survive the year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does technology come from in Star Wars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A long time ago, presumably meaning before humans evolved. The ancient jeh-di invented the sabers, and they eveolved probably around the time life started on earth if i had to guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does technology come from in Star Wars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It was also because they abused the dark side to power their tech, but dark tech has an effect on living beings. As a result of being around their dark tech for so long, it made them a more brutal, savage race than they already were. That culminated in them creating a supervirus with the intention of unleashing it upon everything that wasnt rakatan. But their slave races got wind of the virus, stole a sample, and altered it. Now, it only effects the rakatans and cuts them off from the force. I dont remember much of kotor 2 but i’d have to imagine kreia had some pretty interesting things to state on the matter considering the similarities between kreia’s goals and their goals.

  Did you consent to getting shot? If it was during sex you have a case for rape.

  Rape does not mean a penis goes in a vagina unconsentually. Rape means you removed someones agency in a sexual fashion. That can mean you fingered them like our president(but not under new york state law, even though the judge admitted it was rape), or it can mean you tore their clothes off, or stuck something in them they didnt like, it can mean they took the condom off without you knowing, it can mean they said they are fixed when they are not.

  I just looked it up, you are correct. Knowingly transmitting hiv is not legally considered rape(except in some states), it’s its own crime. Most of the time a felony.

  You cant consent during deception. If your gf has aids and doesnt tell you, then you didnt consent. That is both the legal and culutral definition of rape.
