I can stop eating bread, going on lemmy, quit my job and get a new one, etc. There’s a reason we do the things we do, nicotine has legitimate value. I know OP is a troll but nicotine is a lot less addictive than so many other very unhealthy things people do every single day without batting an eye. Only thing actually bad about it is the smoke in the lungs.

yeah the comment per day graph is not doing too hot. Subscriber count may be rising but comment count is constantly in the valley.

To answer your question about quality: it matters because it’s not real. The act of producing something of quality is what makes us better people. It ties into motivation to be better. Computers automating repetition doesn’t hinder that (as much, it does affect learning curves). The notion that computers be used for an output that would normally require creativity is just throwing away the essense of creation, the end product is not the only thing that benefits us. There’s no objective to why it was created, an AI writing something that evokes emotion is a party trick. All it really does is promote consumption and demoralize innovation, and ironically it hides behind innovation as the end-goal of the project. It’s just dead. One of the most beautiful things within creating something of value is the very process of creating it, having the passion and desire to do so, and the will to bring it into existence. AI is a cursed attempt at trying to replicate this process, and by lifting that kind of burden from a human inhuman.

It isn’t even a gamble though, he makes a lot of fuck ups but he literally can’t afford to fuck up that bad. It would cost him less financially to settle than it would the enormous backlash from actually trying some shit. On top of that if something were to coincidentally happen to the family, he’s be just as screwed. If someone raped me and threatened to harm my family if I told anyone, and they were a huge public figure harboring Trump’s level of distrust from people, then hell yeah he’s going to court. All threats would be made public and extremists would be watching any news on my family like a hawk. That girl needed a better lawyer.

I read that in the link @PrinzMegahertz kindly provided, but she should have gone forward with it anyway. If anything remotely bad were to happen to her family Trump would actually be fucked.

I’m on 6 rn, nice dosage, just don’t overdo it you’ll be fine

he what?

Yeah that’s how I felt too. I remember being excited about g+, then I also remember aggressively turning off any association to g+ because no one was on it and it kept pushing it in my face. Come to think of it gmail was similar, invite only and that, but it wasn’t forced even at release and they made it look a lot nicer than what yahoo and hotmail had going on at the time.

gay people magic. beware

if they can’t then GTFO. (and I say can’t knowing full well it means “don’t feel like lifting a finger”)

pretty much like /u/ on reddit

@ always looked wierd to me tho, it’s more of a surname if that makes sense

Well we they could just be centralized in their own decentralized instance lol

lol wtf, does that just slightly photoshop faces? Cuz technically that would be true

or is it some next-gen facemaker

If they add user-level defed, I’d be pretty on board with defederation being used for stuff like bot farms.

As it stands, with the current lack of user-level defed-- defederating is a server/user-whitelist, server-blacklist function.

Ideally I think it should be a server/user-whitelist, user-blacklist function, where a server-blacklist is reserved for botfarms/illegal content.

that first one loaded
