  I mean, the blame clearly lies on whoever created the fucking situation in the first place. I hate the trolley problem.

  Please, Saint Luigi, help us to get rid of all billionaires. They truly are a cancer on society.

  Well, it might not have happened with chimpanzees, but it happens all the time with humans. So I see it more as a good allegory than a true story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Henry Symeonis⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Take five chimpanzees. Put them in a big cage. Suspend some bananas from the roof of the cage. Provide the chimpanzees with a stepladder. BUT also add a proximity detector to the bananas, so that when a chimp goes near the banana, water hoses are triggered and the whole cage is thoroughly soaked.

  Soon, the chimps learn that the bananas and the stepladder are best ignored.

  Now, remove one chimp, and replace it with a fresh one. That chimp knows nothing of the hoses. He sees the banana, notices the stepladder, and because he is a smart primate, he envisions himself stepping on the stepladder to reach the bananas. He then deftly grabs the stepladder… and the four other chimps spring on him and beat him squarely. He soon learns to ignore the stepladder.

  Then, remove another chimp and replace it with a fresh one. The scenario occurs again; when he grabs the stepladder, he gets mauled by the four other chimps – yes, including the previous “fresh” chimp. He has integrated the notion of “thou shallt not touch the stepladder”.

  Iterate. After some operations, you have five chimps who are ready to punch any chimp who would dare touch the stepladder (or curse Henry Symeonis) – and none of them knows why.

  Ohh, I had forgotten about this. Fabulous. They’re only from 2017. I would’ve sworn they were older.

  Yes! That’s also him.

  Thanks for the correction! The name felt odd, but I got distracted and couldn’t verify it.

  Then you will be happy to learn that the author Shunji Ito has a lot more disturbing stories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Honest Opinion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I am torn on that. If it’s a company making money off of it, despicable. If it’s an open source model used for memes? I’m fine with that. We shouldn’t act like artists follow some magical calling from god. Anything anyone creates is built on their education and the media they were exposed to. I don’t think generative models are any different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Honest Opinion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Text, sure. But I don’t get the hate towards AI generated images. If it’s a good image and it’s not meant to mislead, I am completely fine with AI content. It’s not slop if it’s good.

  That’s kind of the point. A constant barrage of stupid and dangerous shit to keep you enraged until you burn put. You cannot stay enraged for four years and nobody will care to do anything if it’s a constant stream of small and big steps to fascism. They’re not removing all liberties at once, but in a lot of steps so that it becomes impossible to agree on which step becomes the straw to break the camel’s back.

  I really like that. It’s nice to just finish a story, instead of milking it forever.
