The online scrapers just add whatever can be publicly viewed to their datasets. I fail to see how this is any different from actual artists going on the internet to view art to inspire and influence them. Regardless, what exactly do these artists demand? They can't fight technology and win, this is a futile battle that has been fought and lost many times before. AI art isn't going anywhere, it's here to stay and it'll only get better. No amount of anti-AI posts is going to change this. What exactly is the ultimate goal here?
Yea, not interested in a culture war.
Lol you're the one virtue signaling and trying this into something it's not. I'm giving you actual data backed points about a measurable problem and pointing out how you're making it worse.
I wrote multiple times that the perpetrators here should have the book thrown at them. Existing hate crime laws are sufficient for that.
And I very explicitly wrote mutliple times, that you're master plan is idiotic because it doesn't actually address the root cause of the problem. Clearly, the current hate crime laws don't mean shit when these types of incidents are happening and in increasing frequency, not to mention the criminals got away because the cops didn't do shit.
And to cut to the chase, all your long tirade amounts to what exactly? Practically, in practice, in terms of actual policies that you want to see enacted, what are actually you advocating for, what do you want done?
Brief list of common sense policies:
- Ban all foreign funding to religious institutions within the country
- Deport any non citizen residing in the country immediately if they committed a serious crime
- Increase integration and assimilation programs for migrants
- Change the national narrative about diversity from a mosaic to something more successful like a melting pot
- Make it policy for the local police department to explicitly stand in solidarity of the victims in publicly circulated cases like this
- Require secularism and liberal values to be taught at all religious views
- Ban gender segregation at all educational institutions
- Explicitly iterate that blasphemy and criticism of islam and other religions is NOT a hate crime, but a fundamental part of free speech
- Establish a system to make it easier for children and women to more easily report domestic violence and abuse at home and quickly receive help, and add support in languages where islam and other radical religions are more prominent
- Establish a quickly accessible and reliable system to tip authorities about extremism that may lead to violence
Literally any of this beats your master plan of doing nothing to address the issue at a societal level and putting your head in the sand.
Because we can argue about whether 1 billion Muslims, 2 million of them in Canada are bad people or not until next spring, but ultimately it comes down to good or bad policy. Say your piece.
If this all your two brain cells managed to get out of what I said then I think I can understand why you're position is the way it is, and I have no interest in wasting my time any further.
What a clown lmao
The term AI is very vague because intelligence is an inherently subjective concept. If we're defining AI as something that has consciousness then it doesn't exist, but if we're defining it as a task that a computer can do on it's own, then virtually everything that is automated is run by AI.
Even with generative AI models, they've been around for a while too. For example, lot of the news articles you read, especially about the weather or news aren't written by actual people, they're AI generated. Another example would be scientific simulations, they use AI to generate a bunch of possible scenarios based on given parameters. Yet another example would be the gaming industry, what do you think generates Minecraft worlds? The point here is that AI has been around for awhile and is already being used everywhere. What we're seeing with chatGPT and these other new models is that these models are now being released for public access. It's like democratization of AI, and a lot of good and bad things are bound to come of it. We're at the infancy stage of this now, but just like with the world wide web before it, these technologies are going to fundamentally change how we do many things from now on.
We can't fight technology, that's a losing battle. These AIs are here and they're here to stay. So strap on and enjoy the ride.
Being a Marxist in 2024 is clown shit as it is, but voting for Marxist-Leninist party in America is just baffling. The cherry on top is that the clown you're planning to vote for has some mighty interesting policy proposals including:
- Seizing the 100 biggest corporations in the country
- Seize the agricultural and energy industries
- Repurpose the energy industry to generate exclusively renewable energy
- Expand the transportation system with all an electric fleet while no autoworker loses their job and millions of new, good paying jobs are going to be created
- Expand affirmative action discrimination
- Use the assets of the seized top 100 corporations as reparations for black people
- Cut the military budget by 90%
- Abolish NATO
- Support Russia against Ukraine and China against Taiwan
- Abolish AFRICOM specifically for some reason
- Abolish the CIA, NSA, and FBI
- Abolish the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Federal Reserve
- Expose all of the America's state secrets
- End all American sanctions on dictatorships such as Russia, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, etc
- Help aid the destruction of Israel
- Going on purges to lock up the "corrupt elite"
- Cancel all debt
- Eliminate inflation with an "across the board price freeze"
- Ban evictions and cap rent at 10% of income
- Tax all income and assets over 10 million over 100%
- Ban ownership of overseas assets
It's like a bad joke, except nobody is laughing. The fact that there are people out there who are so mind numbingly ignorant of economics, government, social politics, history, and geopolitics that they actually think this brain damaged list of policies is a good idea is just sad. Claudia de la Cruz is so bad that she is unironically worse than Trump, and you have to try really, really hard to be worse than Trump. Literally a turd is better than Trump, so for her to be worse is just... wow. Do better, come on.
There this trend with Americans where they pretend that a presidential election is the beginning of the purge and they got make plans or else they're doomed.
I remember back in 2008 when a bunch of conservatives declared that America was doomed because a Kenyan muslim was in power and that his plan was to crash the economy to the ground with the recession he created... and so they were making escape plans to go Australia or wherever... that didn't happen.
In 2016, liberals famously declared how they were going to escape Trump's fascist regime by moving to Canada or Europe in mass before he starts WWIII... literally nothing happened.
In 2020, both liberals and conservatives declared that if the candidate they didn't want won, they would leave the US to go elsewhere in the West because clearly the country has no future because Trump/Biden will strip them of their rights and run the country into the ground with their incompetence... but nothing happened then either.
Now, in 2024, we have the same candidates from 2020 but more senile and old. Everybody is claiming that if Biden wins he'll sleep walk us into WWIII and if Trump wins he'll turn America into a fascist state. Both of these are unfortunate possiblities, however, will we see a mass exodus? History tells us no, we won't.
But seeing all the dramatic reactions is still pretty funny.
That should be at the forefront of our political discourse. We had Andrew Yang bring make some noise back in 2019/2020, but he was the only one to bring AI, automation, and UBI and he kind of faded into irrelevancy. Which is unfortunate because nobody else is talking about any of these things, especially the dinosaurs we have running for president right now.
I went to a gay Muslim wedding a few years back.
I hate to break it to you, but there's no such thing as a gay muslim. The religion is pretty explicit about homosexuality not being accepted. If you're gay then muslims don't view you as one of their own if you claim you are one. The polls pretty heavily back this notion.
Blaming religion for making people assholes robs them of their agency, letting them off the hook for being assholes organically and allowing the institution to shoulder the blame.
They're not being assholes organically. They hate gays because their religions instructs them to hate gays. Your ignorance on islam doesn't change the fact that islam is what drove these parasites to beat up these girls. Homophobia in islam runs really deep. The faster we address, the less of these instances we'll have in the future. The more you rush to defend islam, the more people will end up being victims of such attacks.
If you condemn and criticize the individuals you would be right: these are vile people who acted out extremist hateful sexist violence. They suck, they should be arrested, tried and have the book thrown at them because their actions are disgusting.
This is what happens when you start sacrificing common sense in favor ideological dogma. See, sometimes issues go beyond individuals. When we see patterns emerging, we have to address the issues as societal problems. When you have one person burning down buildings you have horrid individual, when you have 1000 it's a societal crises. While we have to criticize the individuals and hold them accountable for their actions, we also have to address the reasons why this is a trend to begin with so we can take steps to actually fix the issue.
You can't do this red herring where you ignore the trends and the big picture and just have tunnel vision on the one instance. This is what conservatives try to do whenever there's a school shooting. They'll do everything but admit that guns are the problem. What you're doing right now is the same as a conservative going "it's not the guns, it's mental health", "you can't say it's guns because there are good gun owners", or "why don't we ban cars". Come on dude, at least try to have a honest conversation about this.
Canadians as a whole are not violent islamophobes because some idiot shot up a mosque. Canadian culture is not vile and antisemitic because some other idiot shot up a Jewish school. The Christian religion as a whole is not antidemocratic just because some US evangelical trumpists did the January 6th thing. Same principle applies to Syrians or Muslims as a whole.
Are you really trying to virtue signal to me the ol' classic "not all muslims"? At this point you have to be disingenuous. No shit, nobody is implying otherwise. You're just trying to find every excuse to defend islam and homophobic cultures. No, criticizing a culture or religion is NOT accusing every single individual of that culture or religion of being whatever is criticized. If we follow your own line of logic then criticizing homophobia in the US makes you a bigot because not all Americans are homophobes... Not only is this stating the obvious which nobody is contesting, but it serves no purpose other than to distract and detract from the points being made.
And no, the “aspects” caveat doesn’t work. We didn’t have a moral panic about antidemocratic aspects of Christianity because of Jan 6th.
Wtf are you even talking about? We literally did. Not necessarily about Jan 6th because that wasn't religiously driven, but we have moral panics about Christianity every other month. From book bans to abortion rights to erosion of church and state to whatever. We regularly criticize Christianity for it's questionable teachings and culture... that's why it's presence has weakened so much over the years. Why is it so hard for you to be consistent and apply the same principles to other religions like islam?
But it seems the far right loves to stir panic about “aspects” of Islam or brown people all the fucking time.
Have you ever wondered why the cops didn't actually do anything to stop the criminals here? How about the many other instances like it in Canada or the UK or Sweden or whatever? It's because they're scared of being called racist. This isn't me making things up, this is an actual thing. Here's the most famous example from the UK:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/grooming-gangs-iicsa-racist-fears-b2007649.html
https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-28967427
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28951612
Over there they have these massive muslim gangs all over the country that have been systematically young girls for DECADES. The most infamous of these gangs happened in the city of Rotherham where the muslim gang raped over 1400 children for over 30 fucking years. The cops barely did anything about any of it because they were terrified of being called racist. Why? Because every time they try do something morons like you crawl out of the woodworks to call them racist form mobs, berate them, and jeopardize their jobs.
It's not just the cops, the victims were shunned into silence too. Not by the criminals, but by the supposed "progressive" Labor politicians. For example, this ghoul publicly liked and retweeted a tweet that stated the following:
"Those abused girls in Rotherham and elsewhere just need to shut their mouths. For the good of diversity."
The worst part is that when you actually hear the stories of the victims, it is the most gut wrenching thing. You have little girls going home from school only to get kidnapped, beaten, and raped repeatedly. Some of the girls even got pregnant and gave birth to babies they were forced to have. Just when these young girls needed the human rights activists, the feminists, the progressives, the police, the politicians, the justice system by their side... they were abandoned by all them. These people either did nothing to not offend the mob or outright defended the criminals. Everything here is a part of the infamous Rotherham child abuse ring:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotherham_child_sexual_exploitation_scandal
However, it should be noted that the raping is still going on today in that same city. It should also be known that Rotherham is NOT the only city. There's literally dozens of other examples of the same exact thing happening:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse_in_the_United_Kingdom#Notable_incidents
It's not just the politicians either, the muslims leaders in the city were fully aware of the rapes and they went out of their way to cover them up:
https://www.sanskritimagazine.com/rotherham-child-sexual-exploitation-muslim-leaders-aware-nothing/
The reason why I brought all of this up is to demonstrate how this IS about culture and religion, how it IS a societal issue, how it IS something that goes beyond individuals. Those girls are all humans who had their childhoods robbed from them, some of them might never recover. It's truly is sad. What's worse, is that the same issues that prevented the Rotherham case from being brought to light are happening again and again. All of this could have been prevented if people like you stopped this virtue signaling crusade and actually held a set of principles for once. Can you imagine if all the groups I previously mentioned in the UK stuck by their values, called out the problematic aspects of islam and homophobic cultures right away, held the homophobes accountable for their hate, and actually stood by the victims immediately? Perhaps thousands of those girls wouldn't have ended up as statistics for this ongoing tragedy.
These lesbian girls are the same. They went through something that's truly horrid, and instead of the LGBT groups, progressives, cops, and so many other supposed allies coming to their rescue... they all instead rushed to victim blame and defend the criminals. These girls aren't the only LGBT victims in Canada to these types of incidents. Why? Why are we letting people live in fear like this? Why are we not defending the victims? Why are we not calling the vile aspects of islam and islamic cultures? Why are we not deporting these criminals? How many more victims do there need to be? How many more attacks? How many more traumatized souls? What I am saying is so well documented and there are so many examples, that I could give you as many sources and examples as you could possible want. I just want to understand what it will take for you to actually come to your senses and admit that maybe, just maybe, there is a problem with islam, there is a problem with homophobia form islamic cultures, that maybe we need to address it as a society?
You want to talk about “aspects” without being a useful idiot for the far right? Raise voices from within that community, who will know exactly how to walk that fine line.
Just an FYI, I actually lived in Syria (I lived in a suburb of Damascus called Jaramana from 2006-2009). There's literally no way you know more about this than me. You're trying to lecture from a place of ignorance. I'm 100% certain you have no idea what a sahih hadith is or what verse 4:34 says in the quran or what a fatwa is without looking them (which you should). Seriously, you know absolutely nothing about islam, islamic cultures, how muslims view homosexuality, or anything really. The image you have of islam is not based in reality.
Everybody is tired of these dinosaurs. I don't know anybody conservative or liberal who's thrilled about either candidate.
As far as this election goes, my thought process goes like this.
Biden: Oh my God, NO! He's terrible!
Trump: Oh my God, NO! He's terrible! x100
Therefore I'll be voting for Biden.
This is clown shit lmao
