Extra vile considering Mamdani’s still super popular and the election hasn’t even happened. Reminds me of the blue push to act like progressivism is done and support right wing pieces of shit like gavin newsom when the party’s rightward shift has demonstrably been incredibly unpopular and has cost them multiple elections

I always thought that either the republican party would split into fascist and ultra-fascist, or democrats would go far-right. So glad I get to see both while they all unite against anyone and anything to their left :D

“I AM ONLY POINTING OUT THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF GATEKEEPING APPS BASED ON THR ABILITY TO SEE PEOPLES NAMES. AND THAT THEIR COMENT HISTORY IS RIFE WITH REMOVALS AND BANS- INDICATING THEY ARE A TROLL.” False. You and everyone else started on them before other apps were ever brought up, and I’ll admit that was kinda silly for them to get upset about. But don’t act like this is about that when it’s very clearly not. And all you have to do to get comments removed or get banned is disagree with the mods of any major instance, like by saying trans people or Palestinians deserve rights on a .world comm or not liking fascism or the taliban on .ml. Doesn’t mean shit about whether or not someone is a troll or a sock puppet, but go ahead and research it since they and I are living rent free in your head rn.

“NOTHING IN MY COMMENT HAS ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH TRANSGENDERISM IN ANY CAPACITY.” Then how come people being misgendered is just a difference in opinion to you? Why did you get so upset about them just correcting a case of misgendering? If you’re cool with trans people, surely you’re cool with pointing out when somebody gets misgendered and won’t freak out if somebody does

“Who downvoted me? My words need to be respected” is a hell of a way to misconstrue somebody wondering why correcting a blatant case of misgendering got them shit tons of hate. Again, why the hate for that unless they’re against respecting trans people? This isn’t any more clever than when Nazis say “oh everyone is a Nazi to you” while flying a swastika. The fact that you think disrespect is the proper response to respecting trans people says a fucking lot about you and all the other cissies in these replies.

Are you done? Or have you not gotten tired of defending and downplaying transphobic bullshit on the Internet?

Nothing screams mature like one or two dozen comments dogpiling someone who corrected what looked like super blatant misgendering. Why is it so important to dogpile somebody who corrected misgendering? Why not just move on like a normal person and not act like downvoting someone for pointing out misgendering isn’t weird?

In the off chance you’re not arguing in bad faith here, seriously what’s the point of this? Somebody corrected some misgendering that looked blatant and pointed, and didn’t even have that strong a reaction to it, and you and like 20 others downvoted and dogpiled them for it. Why? And it started before lemmy apps were even brought up, so that’s not it. If you or anyone else who downvoted think trans people deserve respect, why are you spending so much energy punishing someone for respecting a trans person’s pronouns? Explain how downvoting someone into oblivion for correcting misgendering does anything good for trans rights

Very convenient how you skirt around why people are actually downvoting the person saying you shouldn’t misgender people. When the way people “see the world differently than you” is that they think trans people’s identities don’t deserve respect, they’re not owed a respectful response

Imagine whining about this person being disrespectful when you’re wasting this much time and energy excusing misgendering xD that person screwed up, you don’t have to be a dick about it. They were blatantly, obviously misgendering. What are you trying to accomplish by defending that?

How do you see the world differently to them? Go ahead, say it

What’s good about the Tulsi Gabbard here? Unless you just mean she (like all the Trump appointees) is the worst person for the job and it’ll make the country collapse faster lol

Be careful licking the CyberBoots, they corrode and explode if you look at them wrong

A perfectly guided opinion. You do get why the CEO likes Trump and left the fediverse while staying on Twitter, right?

Btw tell me why they left mastodon and bluesky, and why they’re still on Twitter. gimme a good reason that isn’t him being a Nazi

Found the Nazi :D

You know sucking off CEOs won’t make them treat you any better than anyone else right?

“No you don’t get it! Supporting trump isn’t really supporting trump! Just bc the CEO likes Trump’s policy and endorsed him doesn’t mean he endorsed him!”

Normal people don’t jerk off Trump like that. Dude is blatantly a Nazi, if you can’t see it that says a lot about you

Literally even a single thing at all would be nice

Wrong community for this. Idk of a lot of PC game (or general game) communities, but you should post this there

It was wrong of me to assume you were using it in the wasteful, mindless ways a lot of people use “ai” stuff, I’m sorry for being an asshole about it. Afaik you running stuff like that sometimes isn’t any more wasteful than you spending that time playing games that push your hardware to the max, and I hadn’t thought about that before those replies.

I’ve been really worried about how shady and powerful open ai is and how many people are starting to use it to write science papers and cheat through med school and shit, but other than all the ways corporate “AI” is horrible there’s a lot of cool and fun applications imo, and I’m sorry for assuming you were supporting sam altman’s shenanigans

BTW if you unironically think that original art inspired by previous works is actually comparable to a computer scraping and slapping random bullshit together, you don’t know jack shit about art or the “AI” you so desperately need

Hey if you can’t actually make a solid argument for why “AI” is actually fine, there’s always calling the other person insane :D your use of an LLM isn’t any better or less cringe just bc you don’t use chat gpt, you’re still outsourcing your thinking and decision making to a computer, and you still use a fuck of a lot more power than you should on something that is ultimately stupid and pointless. Your life was fine before “AI”, why are you acting like this is some good or helpful or necessary thing at all?

None of the things I mentioned are even close to as horrible as AI is in those ways. Either you’re being disingenuous bc you think you need chat gpt to think for you, or you just have no idea at all what “AI” is and really need to do a lot of research on how harmful it is. Comparing CGI render farms to AI servers? Comparing human inspiration and paid for asset packs to a computer rearranging existing, stolen art? You’re not serious are you?

Remind me how much electricity production lines, phonographs and CGI use, or how much they rely on art theft simply to exist, or how they pose as an expert on a subject and feed people misinformation, or how they allow people to literally stop thinking and let it write everything and form every opinion for them?
