  • Not expensive? I just checked. It’s 8€/m for me. Which means 96€/year.

    Maybe that’s not expensive for the USAians that earn hundreds of thousands per year. But it is expensive to just remove a few ads that can be easily blocked. It won’t even stop the Google tracking, it just stops the ads on YouTube. An ad blocker will also block the tracking.




  • These are not losses. They’ll just push up the price of goods based on their chance of being stolen.

    You’re not stealing from the store, you’re stealing from everyone else that actually pays for the products.

    Unless you’re stealing from a small shop that doesn’t have the time and resources to calculate price based on theft. In which case, you are an asshole for stealing from a small business.












  • If you approve someone, you don’t need to explain yourself, you would just say “I agree with this guy”. There’s no substance to it.

    However, if you downvote, you are saying “this is wrong”. Which is much different. When you accuse someone of being wrong, you should explain yourself, otherwise you’re being a dick.

    It’s fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.

    EDIT: I’m absolutely in awe that this comment specifically gathered so many downvotes. And this is a good example of what I was referring to. Lots of people downvoted, and 0 ppl said why.


  • Nah. Trump alone cannot drag down the reputation of the whole country. The reason we hate america more now is because trump is so openly corrupt, that we can see how corrupt his buddies are too. And his buddies are the ones that run america.

    The entire GOP is doing everything it can to protect trump from any legal consequences. All the big tech companies openly bribe him to get away with the shit they do. His voters are no longer ashamed of the racist and fascist shit that come out their mouths. Pete hegseth and Co. brag about how much they hate their “freeloading” allies.

    Bringing down the reputation of America is a team effort. You cannot just throw trump under the bus.



  • Well yes, the LLMs are not the ones that actually generate the images. They basically act as a translator between the image generator and the human text input. Well, just the tokenizer probably. But that’s beside the point. Both LLMs and image generators are generative AI. And have similar mechanisms. They both can create never-before seen content by mixing things it has “seen”.

    I’m not claiming that they didn’t use CSAM to train their models. I’m just saying that’s this is not definitive proof of it.

    It’s like claiming that you’re a good mathematician because you can calculate 2+2. Good mathematicians can do that, but so can bad mathematicians.
