Generated AI CP should be illegalized even if its creation did not technically harm anyone. The reason is, presumably it looks too close to real CP, so close that it: 1) normalizes consumption of CP, 2) grows a market for CP, and 3) Real CP could get off the hook by claiming it is AI.

While there are similar reasons to be against clearly not real CP (e.g. hentai), this type at least does not have problem #3. For example, there doesnt need to be an investigation into whether a picture is real or not.

Most people use “religion” to mean “organized religion” in particular, and many people further take it to mean christianity and christianity-like religions. Religion is a word that is hard to define, but I think that although there are many edge cases, most people mostly agree on what is and what isnt a religion. My point here is that, just because they are not definable in a strict sense, does not mean the words “religion” and “faith” are “pointless”. They very much have meaning.

Many words are like that: no clear definition but they refer to real things or ideas. For example, existentialism, postmodernism, artistic styles (such as cubism or impressionism), etc. And even many terms in the sciences are like that. None of the words mathematics, physics or philosophy have clear-cut definitions. Hell, i can take this to the extreme. Even words like water or gold do not have a clear definition, in the way that lay people use them. Seawater is water even though it is made up of more than just H2O. 95% ethanol is never called water, even though 5% of it is water.

EDIT: I was wrong. The minimum seems to have been 7 or 8.

Why are the exactly ten, the minimum number required to advance the vote?

Scotland, UK, which is not in the EU.

I wonder if, in his infinite costcutting wisdom, he removed “redundancies” in the twitter stack that wouldve helped it better withstand cyberattacks.

Weird that they said “only” half an hour. Thats a really long time

Youre both saying the same thing!

“A russian VPN is blocked” is what you showed. From that, we can infer that probably all Russian ip’s are blocked.

I am definitely interested.

What is? What do you mean?

I heard that it is the defenseless arctic that is Canada’s weakpoint, due to ice melting.

I just want to rant.

The fact that “the judicial branch is controlled by [insert party]” is a valid and true statement to make, especially right now with the GOP, is such a bastardization of the separation of powers.

Just thinking out loud here.

I disagree with being able to opt out of being quoted, but I agree that one should be able to opt out of having their account visible in the the Quote Post. Or maybe I am misunderstanding what a Quote Post is supposed to be? I am thinking of it as a way to share someone else’s post, but also verifying the the quote wasnt just made up.

I would think, in the US, antitrust laws would apply.

Is this different from Intel and x86 architecture? (Genuinely asking)

Sort of clickbait. Not the most egregious example.

But yes reading that line did make me feel misled.

Sure, but the Landlord’s Game was a critique of capitalism. The $200 was supposed to be wages even in her version.

I agree that that’s useful information. I wonder though, if it is that useful, if Lemmy or the Lemmy app does that automatically?

Plus, even rationally it doesn’t make sense. Even if it is shameful to have a mental disorder, pretending you don’t have it will most likely make it worse (and hence more shameful) than if you accepted it and got treatment.
