What you’re saying is that you don’t want to give users tools to curate their feeds, and your answer to them wanting those tools is for them not to view those feeds at all if they feel the content is unsafe. An interesting take. Where on the internet does that work?
I curate my feed. However because of the lack of an algorithm I don’t get suggestions. This means that I (and likely others) scroll through the everything feed repeatedly.
But I’ll do you one better. Lemmy doesn’t prevent users under the age of 18 from joining so long as they are 13 or other (just like other platforms). There’s a reason that most if not all websites curate for NSFW content, and it’s to make what the public can view with or without an account safe for children who are likely visiting those sites. That’s the reason Facebook won’t let you post half nude photos publicly. It’s the reason Reddit has NSFW tags. You’re preaching to the choir as far as users curating their content. NSFW tagging is literally a tool to use to curate the content you see. If your argument is that posters have no responsibility for what content they post that’s just logically wrong. No laws work that way. It’s literally why platforms aren’t being held liable for the misinformation spread by their users. I’m not complaining about random anime lewds. I’m pointing out that they are not safe for work. So they should be labeled as such since that is the status quo for not safe for work content. In the same way that a lot of content related to the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Palestine are labeled that way.
If you’re gonna be stuck on what the user should be doing rather than treating all of these items the same as far as what they are then you’re gonna have a bad time because I’m not entertaining that. I curate my feed and I don’t scroll the Everything feed at work, but that doesn’t mean I think other users shouldn’t be able to.
If you’re smart enough to recognize this technicality, you’re smart enough to see that history says not picking him after the primary already has been declared and no other candidates have been campaigning for the democratic party in this lead up is a bad idea. I’m done here.
Why ask him to step down if they can choose someone else. He is the official candidate as voted for in the primary. The primary is over. And if you’re gonna stick your head in the sand and believe that people are going to just vote for whoever they happen to put up as a democrat I’m gonna need you to look back on the 2016 election like I said because we already know this has happened before. If you think it can’t happen again you’re part of the problem.
When I say I don’t have control over that, you know I mean that I am not in control of the feed or what is in it. Jesus. Can we not pretend that I am in control of what is posted to social media? Because you know this isn’t necessarily about self control. If it were news sites and broadcasters wouldn’t get in trouble for what they show.
"Normal countries don’t have"I’m gonna stop you right there. Because what I am asking is how it works for this election at this time with our constitution, laws, and regulations. Because that is what is pertinent now in the event that he steps down.
As for the bit about them voting for any democrat on the ticket (we know historically that’s not what happens), this is literally what happened with Hilary Clinton. It caused so few people who otherwise might have voted not to vote that we got Donald Trump as president for a first term. It’s not about confusion. It’s about people being disheartened enough to think it doesn’t matter. And believing in the super majority of democrats who will vote so they don’t have to. Because not voting is a form of protest.
People would still know. But the whole reason the media is playing up the age and health of the president currently is to convince people not to vote. And it’s working. There are people in this country who voted for Trump in protest because Bernie Sanders was not ok the ticket.
Then nothing here on Lemmy should have an NSFW tag at all. But you know that doesn’t work. Because you can have a feed that’s completely fine and then scroll randomly and find a bunch of porn posts back to back. If you are posting content to a platform you are responsible for that content and what it shows. That’s literally why we have any tags.
This is like arguing that because it’s legal to show graphic content of war or similar on the news it should be allowed with no warning on any website. There’s underaged people everywhere on the internet. Sites that have graphic content as the main content censor accordingly. Why is Lemmy any different?
I either turn it off completely or I leave it censored. I’m not saying there aren’t options. I’m saying a work environment would not consider it to be safe for work so yes it should be censored with a NSFW tag. The everything tab sometimes is perfectly fine and other times has back to back posts like that. I have no control over that. Neither does anyone else.
Make complaints to your congressman’s office. Those texts are illegal and should be reported.
I’m still willing to hear a viable candidate and how that would work less than half a year before an election. In order for us to have another nominee we have to do something to get someone else to put their name on a ticket. That actions might create a bit of a loophole where any party could run a lame duck candidate in the primary, won, and go on to basically pull that candidate for “cognitive decline”.
What I believe will happen, based on our laws and our history, is w.ell have another Al Gore moment where the vote gets split and we get a Republican as a result. And since right now the Republican is Donald “I touch 13 year Olds” Trump, I’m gonna ask you why a sane person would choose to let Trump become president.
There was a lot of stuff that could be publicly viewed that was still under copyright or similar. We spent a good 20 years having artists developed and distribute portfolios online to be marketable to firms. And now the firms have essentially taken their work for free, used it in a way that there aren’t really any protections against legally speaking, without any warning, and monetized the models to make money. All while cutting those same artists out of jobs because the LLM is cheaper.
The ultimate goal is you don’t take something someone made without their knowledge, use it to make profit for you and then tell me to get rekt when I want what I should be entitled to.
These artists aren’t a monolith. Most of them aren’t even unionised. This tech had a varied history but to most of the public this tech is like a year old. They want protections. They want to continue in the career path they made sacrifices to follow. They want a lot of things but the point is regulation would be a good start.
What is the ultimate goal of Generative AI? Because I don’t see a way forward where it’s unregulated use will be beneficial with no detriments to the people upon whose work it was built.
Children do descend upon large amounts of sweets in the same way that insects do. That’s all I’m saying.
I see plenty of memes labeled NSFW. I sometimes assume they’re porn and keep scrolling. Sometimes I recognise the image even through the filter and I’ll click on it. I find this very confusing. It’s not a bad idea to have two different terms. But I feel that that might get lost in the sauce as the term has already gone critical mass. People will probably start to use them interchangeably.
That’s wonderful. But perception is everything. Could the HR lady walk past my desk, see me scrolling Lemmy and flipping through image after image of half nude cartoons? Is that still safe for work? I think you’ll find they feel the same about works of art in enough businesses that none of these images are safe for work. In an art gallery? Sure. In a dental office? Probably not.
Barter. Between artists. That kind of collaboration happens all the time and people are deliberately ignoring it so they can justify AI LLM’s.
This is a deliberate misunderstanding I have seen repeatedly. They don’t mean the AI stole art. They mean the training data used to train the ai stole art and is now being used to lever artists out of the workforce because it’s cheaper.
At the point where you are offered some other form of compensation, I believe that would be considered a bribe, which is also illegal.
Yes. And to be clear I don’t think this is a good thing. I’m actually very much against the courts deciding the preview of what is lawful conduct for the president within his duties to the Constitution and what is not.
Comparatively though the pro and regular size of the 7 do not give me hope. The 8 is fine but I haven’t been reading up on the 9 rumours yet.
You’re a waste of time. Good day sir, ma’am, or theydy.
