It’s even crueler when you remember that newly freed slaves grew the watermelon themselves because they couldn’t afford much. Pumpkin spice is a choice of novelty, not survival.

I would like to know more

People were also a lot more open to their data being used by machine learning because it was used in universally appreciable tasks like image classification or image upscaling; tasks no human would want to do manually and which threatens nobody.

The difference today is not the data used, but the threat from the use-case. Or, more accurately, people don’t mind their data being used if they know the outcome is of universal benefit.

The issue isn’t the final, individual art pieces, it’s the scale. An AI can produce sub-par art quickly enough to threaten the livelyhood of artists, especially now that there is far too much art for anyone to consume and appreciate. AI art can win attention via spam, drowning out human artists.

The passion… The passion… Is more than i can withstand!

Exactly!!! If we’re already assuming they served in the military, why do we need any more information than their name? What is the end goal of the dox?

Isn’t it incredibly dangerous to ban “Zionist” only because it’s misused? It can be used to legitimately describe people who have a vested interest in Isreal occupying Palestine. I understand it’s used as a slur, but banning otherwise normal words will make the discourse much more difficult.

It’s kind of adorable, like a child designing an album cover using concepts they recognize but don’t understand

Reminds me of an interview with Mark Mothersbaugh of DEVO fame. The day he got glasses, he started drawing the tree branches he saw for the first time. His teacher said he drew trees better than she did, and that’s why he draws every day!

That’s not the sexist part, you have to read more. One Tweet can’t prove anything, but several Tweets are a clear pattern of behavior. Quoting the first sentence betrays your disinterest.

We ought to normalize this phrase, it’s pure gold!

He finds someone afterward anyway, someone who’s much better for him

Femboy and Trans are two distinct things, you need to listen to the person when they tell you how they identify, not pressure them into being something else.

Would those files be published, or kept private?

Go with YouTube music. If you can’t find what you want, upload it yourself to YouTube under the Music category. I’ve done this with my own music, and preservations of music I love. I can’t think of another service that allows this.

You either die based, or live long enough to see yourself become cringé
