Eh, yeah but we don’t have the numbers to remove content left and right. Better to have mediocre content right now than 1 really good post every 2 weeks

Exactly, and it begs the question too, where’s the line? If you draw a stick figure of your crush with boobs is that a crime? Is it when you put an arrow and write her name next to it? AI just makes that more realistic, but it’s the same basic premise.
Distributing it is where it crosses a hard line and becomes something that should not be encouraged.
all good points, and I’ll for sure say that I’m not qualified enough to be able to answer that. I also don’t think politicians or moms groups or anyone are.
All I’ll do is muddy the waters more. We as the vast majority of humanity think CSAM is sick, and those who consume it are not healthy. I’ve read that psychologists are split. Some think AI generated CSAM is bad, illegal, and only makes those who consume it worse. Others, however, suggest that it may actually curb urges, and ask why not let them generate it, it might actually reduce real children from being actually harmed.
I personally have no idea, and again am not qualified to answer those questions, but goddamn did AI really just barge in without us being ready for it. Fucking big tech again. “I’m sure society will figure it out”
Agreed. To me, making them is one thing, it’s like making a drawing at home. Is it moral? Not really. Should it be illegal? I don’t think so.
Now, what this kid did, distributing them? Absolutely not okay. At that point it’s not private, and you could hurt their own reputation.
This of course ignores the whole fact that she’s underage, which is on its own wrong. AI generated csam is still csam.
I really like the GPL license for that reason. Take it, use it, be merry. But don’t you dare use it in a closed source project, and you have to give me credit
Oh man if you don’t recognize xkcd… You’re in for a treat reading through them all
It’s also weird to think that you either have to cope with a community - or that the community must change because of your tastes. Just don’t take part in the community - or join a different one or start your own community that’s more to your speed. People enjoy different things, we don’t all have to take part, and we can create our own groups
You can, but you do have to buckle down, and I know that’s a cliche. It took me 6 years to get a 4 year degree. 1st year I partied too much, and I wasn’t emotionally ready. 2nd year I went to a smaller school, a 2 year college and it made a huge difference. Smaller classes, more one on one time with the professors. by the time I finished the 2 year school I was finally ready for a 4 year.
I had moments though. I thought about dropping out early on. I remember talking to a mentor saying I’d be fine if I did, and that I had tried. They looked me squarely in the eyes and said “Bullshit. I know you could have tried harder”. That hit me hard. I was surrounded by parents who supported me and said I probably did everything, to have someone call me out like that, it really hit me hard.
You can do it - if you really dedicate yourself to it. College is not easy. It’s not fun. I have nightmares about finals even now, a decade later. But I don’t regret forcing myself through. I wasn’t an A student, I was a solid C student, but it was worth it.
Exactly the same. Everyone told me I was so smart in High School, I’m so incredibly smart, I never needed to study. College hit and I failed my first year. Big fish, small pond for sure.
High School (and college probably) should have set up time for teaching me how to study, and high school teachers (and my parents) needed to back off saying how smart I was. Or at least back it up. “I’m glad this stuff comes so easily for you, be ready for college though, because you’ll be surrounded by people just like you, and they’re expecting even more”
We don’t even know if this is for Firefox yet. As far as we know this is a completely separate entity selling adspace on other websites and places completely separate from Firefox. They have said literally nothing about doing anything like adding ads to Firefox.
Let’s cross that bridge if and when we get to it. Otherwise this is all just a slippery slope argument. Yes, they can add ads to Firefox, but they have not done that or even implied that they might do that. If they do that, we’ll deal with it then.
Mine went off in high humidity when I showered and forgot to turn on the fan
Nothing proves a backup like forcing yourself to simulate a recovery! I like to make one setting change, then make a backup, and then delete everything and try to rebuild it from scratch to see if I can do it and prove the setting change is still there
Exactly right there with the not worrying. Getting started can be brutal. I always recommend people start without worrying about it, be okay with the idea that you’re going to lose everything.
When you start really understanding how the tech works, then start playing with backups and how to recover. By that time you’ve probably set up enough that you are ready for a solution that doesn’t require setting everything up again. When you’re starting though? Getting it up and running is enough
Way way way too early to say we need to ditch firefox.
What we know is that Mozilla, firefox’s parent, bought an ad company with the stated goal to make privacy friendly advertisements.
Also this week (I believe, maybe a bit earlier) Firefox announced that they are holding to manifest v2’s rules for adblocking, that they are encouraging ublock and other apps to still block ads.
Firefox needs money to continue development though to be competitive with Chrome. Ads are the only real way to make money on the internet. There is nothing that suggests that they are adding ads to firefox, to me it sounds more like they want sites to use their privacy focused ad service to fund their development of firefox because they weren’t receiving enough donations - which makes sense.
I’m not going to ditch my browser of 20 years over fear that something might happen. If something happens like that, then sure I’ll change to something else. Remember though, all of the alternatives are chromium based, which is mostly controlled by Google. By giving up Firefox you’re allowing Google to make their monopoly, because Firefox is the only other real browser engine out there.
So, rather than be reactionary, I’d say let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and see where it goes.
I searched everywhere, that’s the highest I have, make sure you’re not opening the thumbnail though. The actual is 2048x1648
I can’t wait to see how Ubisoft will tank their brand more when they try to take this down
I remember the hardest part about studying in college was that no one taught me what studying was, and never showed alternatives. Movies just showed people reading the book and looking stressed, so that’s what I did. It wasn’t until later that I learned studying could be quizzing yourself, doing example problems reading over homework to see what you did well or didn’t do well, or listening to lectures again, or anything.
I wish we prepped kids more for college.
I love that you reversed it, when it should be “how terrible do Americans have it where we have to commute so far just to get to work”
Someone gave you an honest, well thought out comment and you went to “there is no where left on the internet”.
The saying stands. You you smell shit while walking around, there was probably some shit around. If you smell it all day, check your shoe.
Congrats! Going from Texas to Portland, think about transit going into it. In the right mindset for less commute, but play your cards right and maybe you won’t even have to drive to work!
