I only know the guy from the thumbnails and dead eyes. But this really feels like reaching for a justification to hate.

If you’ve seen (also past tense) any movie by, for example, Bryan Singer, you have consumed art made by a pedophile.

I’m not defending him (I honestly don’t care about him), all I’m saying is that without any context, these kind of statements are kinda cheap and meaningless.

Yeah, if making money is evil, this guy is worse than Hitler!

Cue.

For those of us that are not familiar with all the (future) online laws worldwide, based on what clauses will they be shutting down?

I skimmed the article, but couldn’t find the specifics.

Oof.
“Why? Because Trump”

Can’t wait for these four years to be over. Not because I like him, but because I dislike him being brought up time and again for the sake of engagementbait.

Cars as a service? That might be debatable.

But taking the human factor out of driving cars and trucks is going to save millions of lives worldwide. That’s the inevitable safety progress I was talking about in my comment.

It’s not just the automotive industry that would be worried, that’s incredibly short-sighted. The transport sector, however, should be terrified. The amount of chauffeurs required in a few decades time will be just a few percentage of today’s amount.

And that, in turn, will have major ramifications for the social securities (UBI, anyone?)

But sure, let’s start with the American car makers, so they can lobby against this inevitable progress in safety.

Meanwhile, in the real world, creators just want to setup an account and sell their content. Not having to deal with payment processors, setting up cdns port handling customer support themselves.

There’s enough to complain about how OnlyFans impacts society (like creating fake interactions with customers who think they’re interacting with the real deal). But them wanting a cut for doing all the technical middleman stuff is actually reasonable.

No need for these kind of inflammatory comments, the article itself is bad enough.

If you read the article, you would have seen that, yes, the perpetrator is serving a 20 year sentence.

About that 20% cut - I’m not going to argue about what amount would be fair, but for that money they do handle all the payment, distribution and infrastructure. In that sense it’s more comparable to Steam, Apple, Google etc.

But that’s getting pretty off-topic.

Interesting title.

What could OnlyFans have done to prevent this?

2007

Absolutely.

The only reason Chrome has been slowing down the deprecation of 3rd party cookies is because it would make it harder to do privacy invading tracking, and thus, would make Google less money.

No browser benefits from tracking. Only ad companies do.

Meanwhile, nobody has attempted to give a definition. Lots of downvotes all around though. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I figured zionism had to do with an ideology, not a profession. Generalisations like these are not helping.

Yup, that’s it.

I just told you I I’m not sure of the definition, so asking me what I think it means is pointless. Though I’m pretty sure it’s not a group you can join like ISIS, right?

I’m still not sure what it means, judging by the comments here it (murderer / terrorist etc) it does seem to be used as a slur. So yeah, using the definition instead would be useful.

Yeah, I don’t think they would have been fired if they had just held a vigil without shitting all over their employers brands.

It’s easy to nitpick all the details in the video, but keep in mind that 2 years ago generative AI videos consisted mostly of shape shifting mosaics that vaguely resembled the things they were supposed to be. And now we’re down to “in this frame the 10x10 pixel airplane has a third wing”.

That doesn’t excuse the use of copyrighted material to get to this point, mind you. But to claim that this tech is going nowhere is just a contextless circlejerk.

Saw a great video about this (project is still ongoing).

It’s one thing to claim that the current machine learning approach won’t lead to AGI, which I can get behind. But this article claims AGI is impossible simply because there are not enough physical resources in the world? That’s a stretch.

It’s “funny”, because without that injection from Google, Mozilla would surely die. And the only reason Google hasn’t stopped doing that is because then Chrome (Blink) would be more likely to be treated as a monopoly.

Yay, mob justice!

That’s a a bit too absolute way to look at it.

From their point of view the goal isn’t to abolish human involvement, but to minimise the cost. So if they can do the job at the same quality with a quarter of the personnel through AI assistance for less cost, obviously they’re gonna do that.

At the same time, just because humans having crappy jobs is the current way we solve the problem of people getting money, doesn’t mean we should keep on doing that. Basic income would be a much nicer solution for that, for example. Try to think a bit less conservatively.

I’m not sure how long ago that was, but LLM context sizes have grown exponentially in the past year, from 4k tokens to over a hundred k. That doesn’t necessarily affect the quality of the output, although you can’t expect it to summarize what it can’t hold on memory.

Gotcha. That sucks.

So those calls are not for the benefit of US companies?

Eh. Gen-x here. I still have an hour long phonecall over signal with my best friend over signal two times a week or so.

In my teens I wasn’t too happy about making phonecalls either, but working on a helpdesk for a while sure cured that.

On the other hand, I live in a country with consumer protection, so robocalls are not a thing. And I’d strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger (and GDPR) those companies who attempt to poison and destroy my personal attention.
