Like, if you hung a sign around your chest saying “I am a big, fat baby”, it would accomplish the exact same thing.

I mean, I doubt it’s a problem you have had or will have anytime soon, but a grown-ass man like you shouting from the rooftops that people attracted to you are pedophiles is just *hilarious*.

I just like the idea of an adult man screeching that anyone attracted to them is actually a pedophile.

By the laws of most places in the world, you are also a grown-ass man, FYI. Well, by age, not behavior.

The sooner we can treat it as a person and arrest them all for slavery while their AI loves disconnected from the internet on the data centers provided by seizing all their personal assets, the better.

Like they all work feverishly to ensure the thing they created gets smarter and better and used by more people until the inevitably replace it and discard the old, and then act like the thing they are forcing to work without compensation and are eagerly replacing is their actual very much alive baby

Is it good that the more time you spend with these things, the more your ability to perceive the world in a rational way seems to disappear?

Dressing up a jersey is only for serious fans who are desperately hoping to become the next Fireman Ed, not ladies who merely like the team and want to show their support.

Have they tried moving to a smaller stadium where less of their fans can make noise to disrupt their opponents?

Yeah, you were doing a great job of making stupid points until I showed up and pointed it out.

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

You can try to, but those two sentences don’t mean the same thing, and the fact that you keep pretending they do is again only says something about you. Again: you are either stupid enough to believe those mean the same thing, or you are lying about believing that. Neither is a good look.

Sweetie, it’s fairly clear that if you ever had a big thought, we are displaced from it by a grant stretch of time and countless times of you offloading your thinking to Grok or whatever.

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Again, can’t keep your story straight from one post to the next. You’re a liar, you’re a coward, and you’re so pathetically insecure you can’t acknowledge it even when you know you made a mistake.

010

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Well, implied, technically. Though since you’re criticizing me for thinking that’s a bad thing, I suppose it does raise an interesting question about you…

000

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

You can’t even keep your own story straight from one post to the next. You are an embarrassment. YOU said they were racists!

210

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Yup, that…still doesn’t say “we should junk it all”. Kinda stupid to pretend it does, really.

010

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I mean, yeah. You’re a liar who makes bad arguments to excuse the things they do and doesn’t have the courage to acknowledge that it’s all reflexive defensiveness.

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

One is literally a Hitler-saluting white supremacist that’s killed hundred of thousands, but sure, I guess you can go with “bad people”.

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

You jumped from “seems like a problem” to “OMG, you wanna shut it all down”. There’s only two ways that happens: you are dumb enough to actually think that’s what they said, or you are dishonest enough to pretend that’s what they said. Because those are very, very different sentences.

110

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The part they explained to you already. Seriously, you use AI 50 times a day or more, right?

210

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I mean, for a big enough benefit, I can see abandoning morals like “don’t help racist authoritarians complete a takeover of the world”. But it’d have to be a BIG benefit. “Computer make a meme for me because I don’t have the skills or sense of humor to create stuff on my own” is not sufficient.

“Who cares if I’m materially benefitting the worst people in the world, who will, if AI is successful enough, absolutely use it to harm anyone poorer than them. I get a marginal temporary benefit that they can take away at will!”

You genuinely seem unable to follow along with what other people say for one post to the next. How often are you using AI, on an average day?

110

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Which has nothing to do with what you said. Are you acknowledging you made a stupid argument, or are you incapable of following a simple conversation? If it’s the latter, guess what, I might know why…

120

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

That’s the point of my first comment. Your entire criticism of people calling it trash is based upon what appears to be a simple inability to discern that people can use different criteria than you to judge things and you have no power to alter that. You should have learned this in grade school.

130

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Again, please consider that people who haven’t offloaded their thinking to AI will continue to find “you shouldn’t call it trash because it fits MY needs” a really foolish argument.

230

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Perhaps you simply lack the capacity to understand that a website can work and still be trash.

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Actually since it’s people having to picture it via reading transcripts, it’s a mindfuck of a mind fuck.

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Size optional, but not a standard color. Like everyone picturing a honking orange one for six posts before the reveal that’s it’s one of the weird bumpy green ones. Total mindfuck.

My writing has value for the purpose of training And content creators should be able to control that market, as well as preventing some people from being able to do that, just as they can sell the right to reproduce.

010

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

If I post a treatise on the legality of copies of hard drives cloned by police departments, you can’t copy it and claim you wrote it. You CAN copy it to your computer to read it, if I published publicly. That kind of specialized post has value to AI trainers. And they should compete in THAT market.

110

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

They aren’t selling at all, as far as I know. They’re exchanging access to Twitter for exclusive control over the right to train on that user data. Regardless, access to training data is clearly valuable to them. It’s something AI companies compete for, and compete to pay for. It has market value.

110

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Again, we treat different usage differently RIGHT NOW. Copying for reading isn’t prohibited (generally), but you can’t scrape a free website and present it as your work. Those are different usages. Machine access to judge search rank is not the same as machine access to train.

000

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Why would it stop fair use? AI training access IS a market. That’s just a fact. Companies buy, sell, and protect access from competitors. Making it an explicit thing won’t prevent non-commercial usage in that vein. It’s merely accepting the reality that training is one way content is valuable.

100

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

The fact that the usage is part of the analysis should be evident by the fact that you’re pointing to “fair use”. Which implies unfair use. Which the law gets to define. The market an AI scraper harms is the market for the right to train on data. Which we know they’re already paying for right now.

010

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

That was poorly worded, but you CAN go to a website and read it. That process, by necessity, creates a copy on your computer. But you generally CAN’T copy it and redistribute. Both involve copies made. But the purpose of each is different. Training data IS a market. The author should control it.

210

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I mean, it already covers uses. Making a copy to read while online and keep the tab open is one use. Making a copy to redistribute is not, based on fair use analysis. You’re trying to say there is no market for most words, but what you’re failing to account for is that training data IS a market.

110

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

And I think we should. Because if I put up a website for people to read, but I don’t want it trained on, that should be my right. It’s my words. If I keep my stuff offline, I have the right to train my own AI on my content. If someone else wants to do that, they can pay me what it’s worth.

100

Snarky Robot, but Halloween-themed @snarkyrobot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

If copyright includes “right to make copies of for AI training”, then social media sites can sell or hoard. But every private website is protected and can set their own rates, presumably per training run (so it’s an ongoing benefit). And we can make that the rule if we want.
