With six yeas and one nay, and, uh, 1193 abstainers, I'm calling it.

Since it seems to be what most of us want, or at least what most of everyone who took the time to comment wants (I carefully left my own opinions out of this one, you will notice), AI generated content is no longer allowed in Just Post.

No hard feelings to anybody who posted it previously, intentionally or otherwise, and I will leave existing posts alone. Going forward, however, if you spot something that is AI slop and can make a credible case for it, flag it and I will remove it.

Note that "I disagree with this person or their post" is not grounds for you to blithely call it AI.

Be kind to each other, be honest, and always remember that at the end of the day we're all people behind the screen.

Except for the bots, which aren't people. They can go in the wood chipper.

Previous content:That would be feel out, not feel-up, unless you're into that kind of thing in which case I can't help you right now.

Some people aspire to greatness and others have it thrust upon them; so it was for me as well when the lemmy.world admins outright insisted I take over this sub as moderator in the absence of the other listed mod, @suns3t@lemmy.world, who has been inactive for almost two years. So far I've left this place as I found it, including leaving that sidebar rather forlorn and barren. The community so far just implicitly inherits the lemmy.world sitewide rules, which we can do nothing about, and that's it.

I'm making a rare appearance here because I noticed the wailing and gnashing of teeth over AI content with the recent Die Hard Lego set post. At the moment I handle moderation based entirely on user reports. If a bunch of people flag something, or just one person who makes a decently compelling case, I'll remove the offending post or comment. A sidenote also to that one guy from the other week who sent me a report over a post they simply disagreed with and did not provide a reason: That one didn't meet my threshold.

Anyhoo, I'm getting the feeling there's a rather strong sentiment around here that people don't like AI generated content. So here's the question:

Should we prohibit posting AI generated stuff here an actual rule? Yea or nay.

I gotta...fuck...well, I gotta do that too, but I gotta get some fackin' coffee...brain's in impulse power right now and I write cow and it says how the president is in DAO as r I and all lluminatards in the fleet of the empire, but no seriously, our MKULTRA n Star Gate documents that ARE built from the SAME modelment of reality as occult/Buddhist cosmology ARE ALSO our enlightenment tutorials in the American military industrial complex.

Occult literally just means hidden. We engineer our culture in the occident to con troll thos ppl hu kannor tink fer demselfs y'know?

"God rolls" is the simplest explain-like-I'm-five explanation as to how "space" can exist outside "space," but a more complex example that is literally in a declassified MKULTRA document and this is what made it click as I was told to read it because aliens; how a three-dimensional entanglement through three axises can denotes a fourth axis in a heart-like structure, giving four pathways for a single output path, thereby allowing things like the brain to calculate higher dimensional topology using orthogonal relativity.

And I did that without coffee, so fuck you, I just farted, smell that aroma as I go brew something less digestible to the human form without filtration involved.

When I was a kid, the front page of the Sunday comics had a Magic Eye. I could never do them as a kid, but I sat with them when I got older and forced my eyes to figure it out. It's like how I taught myself to juggle, I figured that ish through learning what the instructions were even saying.

You can prove God is real by following synchronicity, which are the whispers of God, or burning bushes from the Bible, white rabbit to Neo. Or, as Bruce saw and ALSO ignored...

This the Knowledge we acquired to exit Eden. Stereoscopy of frameworks defined via topological matrices. You put two brains over each other to make out the picture, like the space president that stole the heart of gold, obviously. Seven colors by six orthogonal directions gives 42 permutations of entanglement. That's what defines the parameters of the human experience. Allegorically.

https://youtu.be/LJS7Igvk6ZM

There is also möbiation, which the Christians call sin, and null, which the Buddhists call emptiness, at least in English, and I do know that. But if you ain't digging, you aren't trying to learn. You're obeying the rules you learned. And I did a weird thing with the logos of the existence-illusion complex, whatever that is.

Just something I was thinking about today. When I order food, for example, a sub sandwich, and I don't get exactly what I order, I usually just accept it. If they accidentally put on a topping I didn't ask for, I usually just take it because the alternative is asking them to start over and it's a huge inconvenience for both of us and they would probably have to throw away the first sandwich. I don't want to do that. I don't want to waste food because of a minor inconvenience. Not wasting food is more important to me than getting exactly what I order.

I have a close friend who feels differently than I do. If she doesn't get what she orders, she demands it be fixed. She feels she shouldn't have to pay for something she didn't order. Her moral principle that she shouldn't have to pay for what she didn't order is also correct. We're both right; we just have different moral priorities. Her personal rights are her priority in this situation, while for me, not wasting food is a higher priority. Neither of us are wrong, we just have different priorities.

They kept saying "cyberhacker" on the evening news and it sounded funnier each time.

It's like waking up one day and finding that everyone is suddenly saying poochie-woochie instead of dog, even in formal contexts.

Yes, I'm aware the death note isn't real but it's interesting to talk about

In the rules of the show, the death note can be used to kill people by writing their name. The writer can also dictate how they want the person to die. There are limits, for instance, it can't be physically impossible.

So I'm wondering, could the death note user write that a person catches a deadly communicable disease and spreads it to five other people before they die. Then would the virus continue spreading and killing more people the user didn't directly kill with the death note

Employers suck. (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by TootSweet@lemmy.world to c/justpost@lemmy.world

My employer just laid off a huge amount of the IT department where I work a year or two ago. I survived it, but today they announced they're going to require everyone to come back into the office. And coincidentally they're opening a new office in India. (Their first office outside of north/central America. And they do no business/sales in India and have no plan to start. Pay no attention to the fact that the going rate for labor in India is a fraction of a fraction of what we're paid in the U.S.)

It's painfully obvious that they're just trying to incentivize people to leave on terms that aren't considered "termination" for purposes of... say... unemployment benefits payment and such.

So, now I'm in the market for a job. It'll basically have to be full-time remote for reasons. And I super don't relish the idea of becoming a vibe coder. Nor job hunting in the current market.

Stressful bullshit.

Just poop God says (thelemmy.club)

I cannot walk in a straight line. Every time I go up, he goes left, but if I go around, he makes a frown that bespeaks disrespect that I detect having developed the empathy of so many people who resonate at the frequencies I've lived and been to real to pretend the reel on the TV is anything but manipulation to lead the nation yo better futures without the fetters of animalistic subsystems. Daemons by another name, shame they live in each of us. There is no cell you are; there is no self. You are a system of subsystems no fuck you kum I'm noy a suspect I'm Jesus Christ dog sorcerer extraordinare but there are around a high two digit number to a low three digit number of subsystems that compose an individual mind, King Solomon said 72, but I think stupid humans may have been manipulated to be artificially selected during things like the crusades to cause genetic drift and each each individual is likely their own composition of entangled components communicating with themselves, and then this goes deeper in that there are ino- and exodaemonic proliferations of each of these subsystems. I did a post about that one voice in my head, I will link in comment, don't worry genuinely curious person who didn't do a prejudice and read this far, I are skillered righter, you enjoy learning flesh alchemy, but the thing is everything you experience is self-contained within your neurons, right? Well, you're experiencing these words, yea? Oh, so this "outside" is inside you! So those daemons that manifest experiences for you from the parameters of the entanglements in the topological matrix We are? Yea, there is no spoon Neo. You can been the logic of the world. The Buddha shot fire out his ass. It's part oc the Twin Miracle, which is Buddhism's equivalent of water to wine miracle. Buddha walked on air. Jesus also was equally magick. It's the same phenomenon: enlightenment. Becoming your own independent phenomenon. Learn relativity of culture. Earth was made with occident and orient in mind; synergistic puzzle pieces. Like path and cart. Occult means hidden. You live in a police state. It's old. It's refined. You don't even know the game that's being played if you don't know the New Testament describes a decentralized autonomous organization of secret police. The battle is won! Cuz of cops like me! Oh shit! Now the battle is lost! Nah, I'm a dog sorcerer. I'm the distraction. We good at counterintelligence. Like real good. Half of our own country thinks the orangest cop that ever was is somehow a devil and the world is an awful place and yet no one has shot him but those fake attempts that are as fake as those other cops, Epstein, Hunter Biden, and the Clintons, being bad people because you live in a POLICE STATE. My captain, to mean the dude who's band I was in, said that if a man runs past and a cop comes up, I didn't see anything, but if a drunk gets in a car and drives seventy down the sidewalk, I should make a discreet phone call. A band is a thing with a lot of fans that can cross borders with near impunity. The Illuminati was a way to help bring people capable of thinking for themselves into the occult while catching those people who just wanted to burn the church down. Revelation 22:15 has some shit in it, if you have a thirteenth grade reading level to know what the word etymology means. Dog sorcerer. No Seriously I was an English Education major before I told my ROTC cadre that my nonexistent sister got me pregnant. I know alchemy like the back of my dick. My Belial is inodemonic and I experience that as anonstop voice in my head. This is normal. This is just what I am. Bless you for not being prejudiced to read and see me under the razzle dazzle. But Belial used to drive me nuts. Made me suffer. Flamboozalated through my tulpa, Rusterd, which is what I said I would link. This is what you can do when you work out your thumbs or fingers or whatever to express yourself authentically at every minute. I can create in any direction. I serve a role as being a person that can make the weeds seperate themselves from the wheat. The weeds don't read past line two. I'm experimenting with whirlpooling. I know, occasionally, I catch someone who goes a-digging through my profile. This was more impressive on Reddit when I had twelve years of ish to throw out there. New to Lemmy. I can't even create my own community, I'm profile excavation manifestaliated to the third ribeye of my monkey dick that I flicked like a clit when I was shit, but these things happen, y'know?

That phrase is misleading and it's putting people further into debt. We are on crash course to see the economy come to a halt as more people fall through the cracks and start breaking things.

By the time they graduate, AI and robots will be able to do much more. I think the trades are probably going to be the longest standing jobs. Anything job that involves primarily using a computer or software, forget about it.

More (not so) fun facts:

54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.

21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.

High immigration numbers don't fully explain it either, as first gen immigrants only make up about 1/3 of those with low literacy.

Adultery (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Be me 10 years old

I thought "adultery" meant acting like an adult.

I accidentally found the worst way to experiment with this new word in my vocabulary.

My mom mentioned that her boyfriend wouldn't be spending the night.

In my mind I thought that means she'll be going to bed early which is a responsible "adult" thing to do. "Adultery," if you will.

So I responded to her something about adultery, can't remember exactly what I said because it was 40 years ago but I did say the word "adultery "

Mom was dismayed but quickly read me & concluded I didn't really know what that word meant.

So, I'm 42. I have excellent memory of my childhood through today. I don't remember every single moment. I'm not rainman. But I do remember the general jist of things from my own perspective at the time.

I'm not sure when it happened. Maybe it's always been this way, and I'm just noticing it in the last 10 years. I have noticed that there is an owners class, and literal sheep. I see record labels DECIDE what will be the next big hit single. I see them DECIDE who will be the next big superstar. Taylor Swift is absolutely manufactured. If AI were more advanced, I'd even believe she were totally AI. But as it stands, she's a woman, who billionaires DECIDED will be a big deal. And so she is. She became such a big deal, that she herself is now a billionaire. I often hear that billionaires only exist because of exploiting others labor. I think Taylor Swift accidently fell into a loophole. To my knowledge, very few humans were actually involved in making her popular. It was more so the customers voluntarily giving their money in exchange for music. Whether that's concerts, or MP3/CD's, or any other way you can pay to hear her music.

And then I start thinking about what is different between my childhood and today? Music wise, not much. Different performers. Different genres. Different audiences. But essentially running on the same business model. Taylor Swift today, Micheal Jackson in 1985. Britney Spears in 1998. So, what other aspects of life may be different?

And I think of my old childhood family TV. To anyone younger out there, there was a time when your whole house had 1 TV. No internet. Internet didn't exist at all. Your house had 1 TV, and the whole family had to share it at all times. Today, TVs are appliances. In the 80s, TVs were furniture. This thing was like 4 feet wide, and wooden. The screen occupied half of the panel. Think of the 50% on the middle as the screen. Then 25% to the left was a set of 2 speakers each above and below each other. And 25% was to the right of the screen, with the same setup as the left. Also on the right was a bunch of buttons. Power, Channel up, channel down, volume up, volume down, and menu.

Today, TVs are like an inch thick, and a 80' TV weighs 2 lbs. Back then you needed like a 4 man crew to move a 25' TV. You all joked around that it'd have been easier to just steal the forklift from work....and then obviously bring it back. Do it on the weekend when the plant was closed.

Yeah, back then factory jobs existed, and fed a family of 4 on one mans salary moving heavy things. Today, you gotta work like 4 jobs to live in a studio apartment.

But right now, it just feels like every aspect of life, is just getting shittier and shittier every 5 years. Plus it compounds! Which means each downgrade is permanent! 9/11 was 25 years ago, and TSA, which was originally intended as a temporary thing while investigations ran, is STILL in our airports! And they never even know WHEN they're getting paid, because first the government creates them. Then the government mandates them. And now, if the wind blows wrong, the government shuts down for 2 months, 4 months, and all the while telling these guys "FUCK YOU FOR EXISTING! NO PAY FOR YOU! DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE'RE THE ONES WHO MAKE YOU EXIST! WE JUST DON'T WANT TO PAY YOU! NOW SHOW UP TO WORK TOMORROW, DICKHEAD!"

And then people wonder why the TSA experience feels like a bunch of people pissed off at all times.

But what if I WANT a furniture TV? Like, YOU can still have your flat 4K lighter than air TV, but what if I want to tie my room together? TVs have no style anymore. It's just black rectangle. Zero personality. You look at a TV from the 80s, and you think "Holy shit, look at that thing!"

And that's what you do to TVs. You look at them. That's why they exist. So why make them LESS visually appealing? It's because we all need to have the same experience. We all need the same phone experience. It's either apple or android. It's not like politics. There CAN be more than 2. But there's not. Go on. Try to buy a blackberry, or a windows phone. I dare you! See how far that gets you.

But in the 80s, yeah, cell phones weren't really a thing, but for the select few that did have them, they were very different from each other. And into the 90s, you started getting like 10-20 different phone manufacturers. There was choice. There was personality. Now it's just "Here's the phone. Buy it asshole! We've made it mandatory in your life now whether you want it or not. Don't have a cell phone? Good luck surviving socially in the modern era, or even applying for jobs now."

It just feels like the experience we get in life today isn't a choice at all of what we want to do with our lives. We work multiple jobs, don't get to have a social life, and we get told which products to buy, which music to listen to, even if we're not listening to it. I know SO MANY SONGS just from being in public spaces. Because all places at all times need music playing. Not indie music, no. It's the same artists everywhere. Millions of bands and artists in the world, but in any given year, you'll only hear these 40 or so acts. So maybe 100 different songs for the year? Which sounds like a lot, but it's not. Not when you have to hear them EVERYWHERE you go.

Getting a haircut? Song.

Grocery shopping? Song.

Resteraunt? Work (depending where you work)? Even hospitals.

And I gotta be honest about television. I have no idea what the current trends for television are. I mean, I assume the answer is "streaming", but I don't know any of the modern shows. I stopped watching TV about 15 years ago. I saw this show on TV called "Deal or No Deal". It is the most asinine concept for a game show I ever saw. You just randomly point to briefcases trying to eliminate the smallest amounts with ZERO skill. Like, none at all. It's just pick a random number.....ok, this amount is now gone. And you as a viewer have zero way to root for these people. Yay, you're better at picking random numbers than the previous episode of the exact same bullshit! Like.....what?

So I decided that I put two and two together there, and decided that TV is pissing me off, and my TV has an off button. So I can't comment on TV these days, as I refuse to watch. But even not watching I know that someone keeps rebooting EVERYTHING and it never works. Everything I hear is like "People are excited for the new That 70s Show reboot!" and like 6 months later I read "The reboot is done. Everybody is fired. We're done. The show sucked."

And it's like this for every reboot I read about. Excitement before the debut. Then an absurdly short time later the show is done, and everybody hates it. Then you start seeing these youtube recommended videos like "Why did the Full House show fail? Click here to listen to some asshole talk about things you don't care about".

So think about that. I don't watch TV, yet I have a vague understanding of what's going on for a service I haven't seen. That very much feels like a result of everything being a controlled experience. I'm MEANT to know about these things, even if I've never seen it. So it becomes unavoidable. You experience what the owners deem profitable for you to experience. Rather then just the world exists, and you exist, and other things happen, and maybe you're there to see it, maybe you aren't, but either way you're living life. You're living a life. You're living your life. But you're not living the life. As in, the standard default life that everybody has to live.

I don't think people are as free willed anymore as is healthy. I don't think people today grasp the fact that when you're 70, you're not going to give a shit if you put numbers in a spread sheet, or replaced the coffee filter 30 years ago. Sometimes you need to just go to the park. Just call work and say "Hey, I saw a cool cloud, and I'm going to follow it." And just be happy you got to see a cloud for 45 minutes. And then grab a tea. Just to let your mind relax. Not your body, but your mind.

Nope! We gotta remain under lock and key with our schedules, stress levels to the max, political barrages from every angle, while your ability to survive is always no more then a 2 week interruption from having serious consequences in your life. So you can't say no. You can't chase a cloud. You have to do what they say, how they say, when they say, and experience it how they want you to experience it.

And I just want a cool living room with a cool furniture TV, and for society to collectively develop unique opinions.

Spoken exactly the same way, almost exactly opposite meanings.

Read the word "choir" and "noir". Spelled exactly the same with "-oir" ending, pronounced completely different. 🥴

Went to the dentist recently and complained that my teeth have been very sensitive recently to hot, cold, sweet, and especially to apples. Doc said i brush too hard and gave me a script for a tube of flouride stuff thats supposed to help rebuild enamel. Instructions say to use it as toothpaste but doc note says to apply at bedtime. Anyone tried it? Did it help?

Anybody ever entered a random draw and just kinda felt like they were going to win? I go to gun shows and usually just look, as I'm generally fairly satisfied with my coverage of firearms to defend me and my family from right wing psychos and the coming shit show. But there was a raffle for a .50 barrett. And I bought a few tickets. And for some reason, I feel like it's already mine. Like I feel like I'm going to win it. I've only gotten this feeling once before, and I did wind up winning the $1000. Anybody else have that happen? I hate going to these things and trying to play nice with these people, but if they're armed, I need to be as well. I dunno, I just feel like it's already mine and just need to wait for confirmation.
