This is the difference between being attracted to prepubescents, and being attracted to minors who have undergone puberty:

Prepubescents do not have the physical sexual maturity that human beings should be attracted to. By definition. Being attracted to them shows a profound disturbance in normal brain function.

Being attracted to a 16 or 17 year old shows much, much less deviation from normal human sexual behaviour. Again, by definition. Going through puberty = becoming sexually mature. Now, notice how i said “being attracted to” not “hanging around the local school trying to pick up minors.” It’s illegal for a reason. Kids need to be protected from much older adults who know how to exploit and abuse them.

who said i’m debating anything? there are actual terms for these things you know.
throaway1988··on Lost Jack Kerouac story found among assassinated mafia boss' belongings
i’m not! you are immediately accusing people of supporting child abuse based on literally nothing.

It will be able to tell what ISNT ai! & what is sloppy or cheap AI meant to make a quick buck.
throaway1988··on Why an abundance of choice is not the same as freedom
We have the choice to be free for a time and then beaten or killed? no?
throaway1988··on Why an abundance of choice is not the same as freedom
Yeah, technically we’re always free to do whatever we want. Other people are the issue, not our ability to choose.

Once AI gets good enough, we will be able to tailor it. It (our agent that we personally use) will tell us what is AI and what is not ai generated, if we wish it. But until then, it’s a disaster zone. A holocaust for integrity lol.

If you think this is naive and optimistic, ask yourself, what more valuable technology would there be than an AI agent thats legitimately accurate? It will replace search, it will replace gui. Just tell it what to do.

throaway1988··on How the AI Bubble Will Pop
exactly. AI is inherently more useful in its form.

throaway1988··on How the AI Bubble Will Pop
idk, how many people in the world have been programmed with a massive data set?
throaway1988··on How the AI Bubble Will Pop
he’s describing conditions that exist for every area in the world that actually experiences winter!
throaway1988··on How the AI Bubble Will Pop
true but AI replacing search has a much better chance of profitability than whatever value Nft’s were supposed to provide.
throaway1988··on How the AI Bubble Will Pop
Google search won’t exist in the medium term. Why use a list of static links you have to look through manually if you can just ask AI what the answer is? Ai tools like chatgpt are what Google wanted search to be in the first place.

throaway1988··on EA Announces Agreement to be Acquired by PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners
i mean the new owners are going to jettison everything that doesn’t make money sand hyper optimize the rest even more. It’s basically the end of EA, even such as it was.

Elliot Rodger was also given a copy of “The Present” by his parents in response to his emotional distress, so i think it’s fair to look at his home as a place of emotional neglect, possibly bullying.

edit: The Secret, not The Present

throaway1988··on People got together to stop a school shooting before it happened
it doesn’t help, that’s for sure. it breeds violent power & revenge fantasies, at minimum.
throaway1988··on People got together to stop a school shooting before it happened
violence happens in other places. i think it is typical child behaviour, just in a place where it’s not hard to find a gun.

Lol. Well someone at EA saw the writing on the wall. This is going to be a bad acquisition by these vultures.
