"There is something revealing in the gap between the masculine fantasy of protection and its reality: the fantasy requires a stranger, an obvious villain, a moment of uncomplicated heroism. Reality asks a man to believe a woman over his friend."

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

the purpose of a movie is not to tell a story. the purpose of a movie is to show you something that blasts your tits clean off. sometimes that involves a story but not always

Milo tried very hard to understand all the things he'd been told, and all the things he'd seen, and, as he spoke, one curious thing still bothered him. "Why is it," he said quietly, "that quite often even the things which are correct just don't seem to be right?"

tumblr text post by spiribia: I think it's fine if somebody describes a piece of media as life changing and earth shattering and bone shaking and it doesn't do much for you. I don't think the person who said that owes you an apology or anything. that's just the nature of people being different people

This is also why the administration made sure to tell everyone it was AI that blew up the school in Iran. Somehow the fucking idiots who keep pushing AI are either unable or unwilling to realize they're being used to cover for this shit. "IT HAS USES!" Yes, being blamed for killing kids.

people are always saying anti-AI arguments don’t understand the full nuances of the technology. which is correct. but only because it stole everyone’s work, exists solely to get you fired, has made the entire internet unusable and has been forced on everyone without consent

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

Iconic part of my childhood was watching the Carol Burnett show every week and watching the cast try not to break during moments like this. THIS moment? My entire family was on the floor, dying laughing. RIP Bob Mackie, who always understood the diva assignment.

he's saying the quiet part loud here, ai allows white filmmakers to control racial and ethnic minorities in an attempt to make them appear complicit in their own racist slander. paul schrader likes ai because it allows him to have a black actor that he owns.

The reality: Men do not need to put on a dress and go into a public restroom to abuse women and children. They usually just go home. Or don a clerical collar. Or wear a badge. Or run for office. Or play pro sports. Or they just do it at a political conference. Wearing pants.

Actual adult people who work in the mainstream press talk to this guy and take him seriously. He's a white supremacist, yes, but he's also just a premium sexless dork.

Richard Hanania: The point of a game like Grand Theft Auto is to identify with the character.

By making a female character, the new game will be promoting autogynephilia.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with that, and if they make her bisexual then the game won’t necessarily be unhealthy.
