i was with you at first but upon rethinking i do think it’s fair to note that there was little to no internal uproar in meta over the myanmar and othe situations. of course there was uproar outside meta. when they said “weird priorities” they meant from meta employees specifically—not progressive or leftist voices in general.
hope me describing my train of thoughts helps :)
To add, plenty of innocent people give false confessions of guilt. It’s a known pattern in human behavior especially under stress and duress.
I have no information to say whether this case is an example of that one way or the other, but just putting that out there.
Using a password manager is a lifesaver for this :) there are open source ones like KeePass and you can sync the encrypted file across devices using Dropbox or similar
in my head these are the same things but im glad you were able to arrive at this conclusion nevertheless
cinematography its called a dutch angle google it
the company now says it allows “allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation”
“trans people disproportionately face mental health concerns including depression and anxiety” ✅ OK in my book
“you are trans, so you are mentally ill” ❌ reductive, hateful, and a flat out lie, but approved by Meta now apparently
Enabling millions of people to jump traditional entry barriers is a good thing
Except often it’s not even traditional entry barriers. Look how bad Google search has gotten, overrun by AI blogposts and advertising slop. Those aren’t entry barriers, those are “hold up, is this even content?” barriers.
But more to the point, the genie is out of the bottle, and no amount of objection is going to stuff it back in.
We regulated the assembly line and gave laborers compensation and safety rights when power tools increased their capacity. So too, we could force OpenAI et al to compensate the copyright holders from whom they scraped data. No one is calling for the genie to go back in, only for the corporatists to stop being the ones with all the wishes.
It’s because AI enthusiasts are genuinely proud and in awe of their work, and those that are still staunchly pro-AI are unaware of how much damage they have already done.
Two key facts:
Freya Holmér does excellent analysis at around the 43:00 mark. She notes that AI represents a story of human triumph, and the innate quality or “coolness” that lies in that. But on the other hand, she explains how generative AI has quite quickly become entirely devorced from positively amplifying human expression. Exceptions to this exist, where people use AI creatively as an extension of themselves, but are exceptions only and not the rule.
I see other threads here discussing “is there even demand for authentic human art?” And those discussions ignore that yes, there is, and that authentic human art was scraped from copyright holders on the internet without their consent. “Is there even demand for human art?” is what is being asked, when the technology in question was immediately bought up and exploited by billion-dollar companies who are gaining immensely more value from generative AI than even the most lucrative AI-artist.
I encourage “AI bros” reading this to look around and engage with the art world. Genuinely. If you have always wanted to be a screenwriter or painter hobbyist, go engage with those stories. Go and see the human experiences, training and techniques that are visible in every line and brush stroke. Creativity is quite a wonderful and powerful thing and I always encourage it.
Then, after you have experienced these works to a new degree, look back. Don’t even ask “is AI good”—because we all agree, it’s an amazing feat. Instead ask “do I want this technology to be monopolized by corporate interests?”

Understanding of the feminine libido has been repressed, not only from science, but from women themselves, until fairly recently.
It’s more likely a field thing. People who work in fields highly dedicated to equity (esp. those working in healthcare) are especially concerned with their language and so create style guides that people outside those fields have gleaned from.
Example:
Women don’t owe you sex, learn and grow as a person

you’re thinking of FECA probably. inauguration vs campaign funds are different things, and Citizens United was about campaign funds.
I don’t need to tell you when your defense makes it quite clear itself lol
showing 6 timestamps does nothing to disprove my suspicions either lol
Removed Comment I think that’s just because the same mod being one of the only few people posting there. My best guess is that his pendulum just swings a bit too far to the other side to the point where he’s sympathetic to those terrorist groups, like a lot of other leftists. by DarkThoughts@fedia.io reason: Leftists = terrorist sympathisers?
YDI from what i can see, sorry homie
cite specifics when doing accusations or get downvoted
id say a good 80% of those downvotes are misunderstanding. something about the wording? idk. i thought they were talking about progressive folks getting outraged at first, not meta employees specifically. almost downvoted but caught my misunderstanding in time
