time amplifying the nonsense around saltman’s orb grift

features a helluva lot of words while at multiple points remaining entirely incurious about the claims it amplifies

your post has done a significantly better job of understanding the issue than a rather-uncomfortably-large amount of programming.dev posters we get, and that's refreshing!

the mindset of "just make some shit to pass muster" obviously shines through in a lot of promptfans and promptfondlers, and while that's fucked up I don't want to get too stuck on that now. one of the things I've been mulling over for a while is pondering what a world (and digital landscape) with a richer capability for enthusiastic consent could look like. and by that I mean, not just more granular (a la apple photo/phonebook acl) than this current y/n bullshit where a platform makes a landgrab for a pile of shit, but something else entirely.

LAION reckons it's finally dealt with the CSAM

and I'm sure everyone who trained on that can easily integrate this change, right. right?

oh, right, they can't, because none of the chucklefuck shit works that way. but I'm sure they'll totes jump right onto a full retraining cycle, because they're such good and ethical people who totally live the values they claim

lol, poor helpless joanne just can’t help but run headlong into the wall

saw something drift by that she’d also deleted a bunch of tweets in the quiet time, so her coming out swinging is doubly funny
