I mean, sure, but that’s really easier said than done. Good luck getting good mental healthcare for cheap in the vast majority of places

The interesting thing though, is that technological life continuing leads to more entropy faster, not slower.

Is your argument that we should use generative AI to mislead people? To make fake videos and images and such to use as “proof”?

This is just that zizek quote

I love heat pumps I love heat pumps I love heat pumps

(I agree! I do love tech connections. Although I’d argue that knowing how heat pumps work can be quite beneficial ^^ at least in my case)

Why would anyone want to watch AI generated content? What’s the point? I get using AI generation as a tool but if there’s no human intention behind it, just a pure algorithm, why even bother?

Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo

Frankly at this point self-diagnosis shouldn’t be as demonized as it is. Because getting a diagnosis is, 1. Expensive, 2. Involved as all hell sometimes, 3. Not all professionals being great, and 4. In certain countries cough the US cough, it gets you literally put on a list

I say this as someone who is diagnosed. Just preface any statements you make with you not being professionally diagnosed and that you think you might likely have it and such, and you should be fine. Ultimately the point of the diagnosis is to help you. If you feel like the autistic framework is useful to understanding yourself, use it.

I wouldn’t call bread or yoghurt prepared instead of processed personally though, they’ve been through multiple chemical and biological processes.

Ultra processes foods is something that tends to be more appropriate I think. That’s stuff like chips or fast food. Though even that I consider fine to eat in moderation, and I, personally, do. Though I agree it would be better if I completely cut those out. I just tend to eat a lot of pre-made foods due to disability reasons (frozen pizzas, pastas, and the like)

But yeah, I do know that the US has some very lax food laws unfortunately. So maybe that is a big part of the difference

I feel like this is you fighting phantoms. I highly doubt anyone would want to actively help someone die instead like, referring them to a psychologist or therapist or something

I guess it still leaves store-bought bread out I guess. Or yoghurt. Or milk

But nah, I really do think it’s extreme. Pre-made food isn’t bad for you

Either that or I’m just being European, idk

People didn’t use to call those AI images. They used to call them images with a filter

Sure, some form of machine learning was involved, but so was your Google search for the previous decade. Unless one specifies what one means by AI, I still stand by my statement

In addition, OP’s image was still real, even if it had a filter on. A lot of people’s images have such filters on, especially since often they’re applied automatically. That’s the whole difference and the point

So I see people arguing whether this is AI or not and I just wanna say that

What people should take away from all of this is that we’re rapidly approaching a point where we’re simply unable to accurately determine whether something is generated or not. And we, as individuals and as a society, are not ready for that. We’re heading into a different world, and we better prepare for it, as well as re-examine our relationship to art and images before we’re forced to do so by the circumstances

That’s mostly what I was referring to in my latter paragraph, yes

But the important takeaway is that it’s not the core of what pornography is

seeing violence is probably worse than seeing sex

Yes, I mean, one is (ideally) about two (or more) people enjoying time they have together in an intimate way, the other is about hurting one another maliciously. I certainly prefer one of these things to be more prominent than the other

There is a discussion to be had about stuff like objectification and porn that doesn’t depict people like, consenting, and such, but at least in an ideal I’d much rather have media that focuses on pleasure and love than hate and suffering

“you keep messing with that thing and it’ll fall off and you’ll turn into a girl”

On one hand, fucking horrible thing to say on a child

On the other… probably would not have the effect they would intend on a certin chunk of the population lmao

And nobody forces you to have kids, you know? If anything that’s just saying to make sure to make choices that you will be happy with in your life

As you grow you will keep appreciating the growing amounts of personal development

Eventually you think back to when you were worried about turning 25 and you’ll think “why would I ever wanna be 25 again? I had so much less knowledge and experience back then”

Lmaoo building the Bob Semple tank, now that’s something

And herein lies the core of the issue of “business is a warzone/you need to be ruthless/social darwinism shit”

It’s in the business’ best interest to treat their employees well

If you have no allies, who are you left with?
