"we hate HR ladies" makes sense in the context of "HR ladies will probably frown on us coercing our subordinates to attend ketamine fueled sex orgies where we invite children and our female colleagues to get raped by redpilled men to prove they're cool"

It also opens the door to actual traffickers or possessors of CSAM to claim everything is AI generated when they actually had a child in their basement they exploited for a year. It encourages killing child victims, so recognition to a real child can’t be matched in court.

Reading this tough op-ed by Alison Pill made me feel that we need to have the same conversation about the ethics of using child actors as about the ethics of professional football: Why are we willing to let people be irretrievably harmed in the name of fun?

Opinion | What Child Actors Understand About Hayden Panettiere (Gift Article)

We might have worked on different sets, for different directors, in different eras, but every child actor bears the same recognizable wounds.

“You sure do read a lot” “Why are you reading in a bar” “Whatcha reading” “It’s so funny when women pretend to read in public to look smart” “I bet you don’t understand one third of that book” Things men who were strangers to me have said to me while I was reading. Why are men? Allowed to speak

Imagine actually writing down all this shit, then getting it published. We already knew that misogyny, "parental rights", pedophilia and transphobia was a circle; it comes from viewing children & women as subhumans. No matter the starting point, it spirals to the same maelstrom of horror.

the guy who made up this fake syndrome very openly believed and said that CSA was "normal and harmless" and that children who were sexually abused should be forced to remain with their fathers no matter what. he wrote a book about "sex abuse panic" that was cited by the founders of the FMSF.

Ask yourself who benefits from defining heroism as engaging in individual, physical danger in rare and highly visible circumstances—that is, acts that most people don’t have the opportunity to perform, and many people *cannot* perform.

many people are weirded out by the new WICKER movie starring Alexander Skarsgård and Olivia Colman but I honestly would rather watch a romantasy with a odd-looking main character covered in baskets than pretty much any horror film where people are routinely cut up or murdered

I think early on there was some natural curiosity in seeing if generative "AI" was going to be beneficial. I think we caught on that a) it wasn't going to make our writing better, b) it was all based on stolen work anyway. Any writer using it at this point is lazy and/or looking for an angle.

I write about people who became famous for saying and doing horrible things so I routinely get asked this question. "Did they really believe it?" Look, I get the curiosity, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what's in their hearts. They put evil into the world.

Marisa Kabas came up with the best take on noise like this (much, much more diplomatic than I would be):

Telling a machine that can’t perceive that it can’t perceive won’t make it perceive that it can’t perceive. It can’t make you be the best version of yourself because it doesn’t know what that means, nor does it know what it means to aspire. Just because some are given a human name and users are taught to address it collegially doesn’t make it real. You cannot force a machine to become human. You’re stuck, for better or worse, with your fellow humans for perceiving your aspirations. Perhaps the problem is that you don’t like how humans perceive you.
