Luminous5481 "Murder All Zionists" [they/them]

it won’t be much better in the US if the government has their way. age verification, blocks on porn sites, restrictions on VPNs, this is all stuff that’s been done or is currently being done. it’s a slippery slope that’s only going to get worse until the internet is an experience that is carefully curated by the current administration.

jaywalkers

well jaywalking is automotive industry propaganda, so I wouldn’t do shit about it. I’m not even kidding. cars were killing people, and that didn’t look good for the new auto industry, so they did the usual US politics thing and did a PR campaign to blame the victims for cars running them over. then they paid politicians to pass legislation they drafted that criminalized walking anywhere where the auto industry thought they shouldn’t. if I had a choice, I would take most of the money from the inflated US defense budget, increase public transportation as much as possible and useful, and then outlaw personal vehicles in cities. the roads would be torn torn up and left as single lanes for emergency vehicles and public transportation. the rest of what used to be roads would be turned into green spaces for people to walk and socialize, and do some community gardening.

what was left from the defense budget would more than pay for universal healthcare. everyone would be happier, healthier, and less people would die from vehicle accidents or respiratory cancers.

TLDR: jaywalking is capitalist nonsense.

How’s that working out for you, chief?

it’s working fine. thank you.

the argument you are using enables corporations to steal the work and labour of individuals.

so your problem is with capitalism, and not this fictional “theft” of art.

It is the argument that means only middle class wealthy individuals get to make art.

nobody is stopping anyone from making art.

It’s a shite argument, and it’s been debunked a ton of times.

if that makes you sleep better, then you do you. I don’t really mind if some liberal I’ll never meet wants to claim nonsense that’ll never affect me on the internet. ideas are free, they belong to everyone, and I’ll keep copying and using digital media in whatever way I want.

Well I could have said your post history shows the intellectual subtlety of a three year old child with a sledgehammer, but I don’t like making fun of stupid people when it isn’t their fault they were born idiots.

If only there was some kind of solution to be found.

Says the slopper :slopper:

I know exactly what it means, I was using it sarcastically to make fun of your rather stupid argument.

All AI companies are criminal operations.

Even if someone is being gracious enough to allow you the argument that copying is theft, which it is most assuredly not, it wouldn’t make anything a “criminal operation” because, by law, it isn’t a crime. It is a civil offense.

But surely something has to be said for taking ones work, repackaging it, claiming it’s yours, and selling it as a product, no?

sure, and that something is that copyright and intellectual property is capitalist nonsense. nobody “owns” ideas, and the only ethical issue with AI is that nothing should ever be sold, whether it’s made with AI or not.

here’s another pithy, cliched statement for you. copyright and intellectual property is capitalist nonsense that should be ignored. ideas can’t be owned. what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours. nobody owns any media. the only ethical issue with AI is that nothing should be sold, whether it’s made with AI or not.

piracy isn’t theft.

well she’s christian, so I’m assuming it’s not the pedophiles.

why would they? is there a compelling reason you have that it needs to be changed?

Seems like a good reason to do it. The Western world has said fuck you to Palestine, time for them to say fuck you back.

Oh sorry, can you not read? We can read it for you if that’s the case.

You do know you can wash both sides, right?

With that kind of money, why even come back? Definitely don’t bring it in cash, you get stopped by the cops and they are legally allowed to rob you. Then you’ll spend years fighting in court to get back whatever they haven’t spent.

Why would every journalist focus on the Epstein files? You do know there are other things going on in the world, right? And since the Democrats don’t intend on holding anyone in the files accountable anyway, even if they retake Congress, what exactly are you hoping a journalist is going to accomplish?

The fascists run the table either way. The only thing they let us do is pick whether they wear red or blue.
