You can upload deck lists made by other people, and play against bots. You can automate the entire pipeline so that your input or creativity aren’t even required! Finally you can let reddit play card games for you, since you suck at the one thing they’re supposed to be about!
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
Not saying it’s an intelligent rule, in fact it’s a stupid rule. Like all rules. But it’s there.
The point of sumo wrestlers being fat is to have enough mass so they don’t get pushed off the ring. It’s basically an evolutionary adaptation to the constraints imposed by the sport. I don’t know if they do weight classes there but regardless the slim sumo wrestler will always lose against the fat one.
The concern about AI stealing art relates to artists whose art is worth purchasing or reproducing, not to mspaint doodles. The problem is job security it’s not morals or anything of the sort.
So let me get this straight. Not only it’s closed source and SaaS but you guys are paying for your data to be stored on US based servers that are vulnerable to the patriot act? You’re paying for that privilege?
What is being discussed uses language that was decided by the same DSM that up until a few decades ago labeled homosexuality as a mental illness and caused Turing to be chemically castrated with the same estrogen that trans people line up for today, and then to kill himself over the violation of his bodily autonomy, and then to be stamped on £50 bills as a retroactive apology. That’s what’s being discussed.
Language is used to pathologize people for seeing things objectively. Systemic critique gets converted into personal failure. If you look at how the anglosphere operates through language you’ll realize that 99% of English serves the grammatical purpose of shifting the blame downwards and to pathologize people with thought-terminating clichés that imply that their own “free will” (which can’t be proven to exist and which the elite doesn’t believe in) is the root of their problems. Not the material conditions. But your reaction to them. Obviously. Because it’s never material conditions created by a person who can be punched, it’s always something wrong with you specifically. And with an ever-increasing proportion of the world population, apparently. The rise of depression is proof that the therapist class is doing a shit job at healing people, mostly because if they heal you they can’t pay their mortgage anymore; and besides it’s not like they can actually fix capitalism so they just sell you copium and tell you that you should be glad to be huffing it.
So in conclusion: why does everything suck? Because language is captured so thoroughly that you can’t even express the plain truth that your eyes observe without being categorized as something that can be used to reduce you to a manageable stereotype. So you internalize the stereotype and wonder why the cognitive dissonance you’re feeling hurts so much, and then you’re billed hourly to cope with it.
In order to succeed and be happy you don’t need therapy, you need lawyers who can litigate semantics and threaten people until they give up and leave you alone. Impunity is happiness for the untouchable.
Well you didn’t add any caveats to the transformation and you said it’s at will so… If mass is not conserved then I’d just turn into something heavy yet compact like a rhino and harvest infinite energy from the toggling. If I get support from a State I might even choose a whale so we can extract the most energy per toggle. You can basically build an engine from it, and since whales are like 200 tons and I’m 70kg, the conversion ratio would be pretty damn good. Though it would require a dedicated facility, which is why I’d rather go with a rhino or something, which is however about 100 times less efficient so it would require 100 times as much toggling. You get the picture.
Well he hates AI too, because it threatens the confession booth. And trans people hate AI girlfriends because they demonstrate that love was never gated by an expensive operation; while Hinton, the father of backprop, considers AI conscious already. So there’s that. In general the more someone thinks they’re the Good Guys, the more they’re the Bad Guys. Now watch Lemmy turn into a mental pretzel to justify their own hatred of AI while missing the parallel with the cotton plantations wherein black people were also treated as unconscious and inferior. I’ll see myself out before my inbox fills with comments calling me a loser for siding with Turing.
the world seems to actively hate the idea of kids having something that remotely looks like choice.
Replace that with “power seems to actively hate the idea of anyone having anything that remotely looks like choice”. Mostly because everything is determined. And they know this. They understand that nothing is up to chance. We’re perfect little bots who respond deterministically (albeit chaotically) to sex, advertisement, gambling, propaganda, drugs, and so on. Basically all aspects of modern life are designed to chip away at your degrees of freedom. Consider a mortgage, for instance. It locks you into a job so that you can’t afford to quit anymore, or you end up destitute. Then consider marriage: it exists so that you buy a house and so that you have children in it. Every choice we think we’re making clicks like a ratchet and locks us into a lower energy state that’s easy to control.
Or… and I’m prepared to receive flak for this. But consider transitioning in the US specifically. On one side you have Dems coddling you, and on the other side you have Republicans threatening to murder you. So once you transition you’re a Dem voter for life even if you don’t agree on their other policies. Both parties are playing the same game behind your back.
But when an LLM adds more to the conversation than the average poster, you have to start wondering what the fuck we are even doing here.
Because it’s a carbon copy of reddit and it replicates all of its problems in miniature. Also because everyone in here is extremely exclusionary and hateful of anyone who isn’t wholesome 100. Also because it’s decentralized but not peer to peer, which means that it’s basically feudalism.
Doing or thinking anything over 1 standard deviation from what the middle of the bell curve endorses, I guess.

Right. So everyone in this thread is seeing whatever the fuck they want to see in the comic, which is vague on purpose because god forbid OP actually expresses their political views like an adult, and we’re all talking over each other while they sit back without elaborating on what the fuck they meant. And we think we’re so smart, too, while discussing engagement bait drawn by someone with the artistic skills of a literal toddler.
Man, I feel you. You say X and then a mob of rabid dogs comes at you with “SO YOU SUPPORT HITLER??!??!”. Modern online discussion is soul-draining. You know what’s funny to me? That these people copy and pasted reddit, and instead of removing downvotes or at least bringing them back to a tool for moderating off-topic content, they kept them. And they still use them as a “I disagree” button, which is against the original purpose of the reddiquette that no one ever read. Also they made it decentralized but not peer to peer, so basically they ended up promoting reddit mods to instance admins. Amazing revolutionary pragmatism.
Popper’s paradox of intolerance is something that is never discussed by online leftists. Why is that? How can you respect people who will put you in an oven the moment they gain power? Don’t you see how you’re literally enabling them by pretending to hold a moral high ground that doesn’t exist?
The internet trained us to think that anything remotely hostile or “hateful” is an indictment on a person’s soul. That if you don’t accept everyone unconditionally you must be a monster. But my immune system keeps me alive by literally eradicating foreign pathogens that pretend to be benign. If my immune system didn’t do that, then not only I but humanity itself would not exist. So what gives?
People who play TES games without even knowing who Kirkbride is don’t do so because they like the setting, they do so because the game was advertised to them and it’s trending on TikTok. Bethesda has been dickriding his lore for 20 years, and every installment just makes it worse instead of better because they can’t actually write metaphysics and philosophy that generate interesting worlds.
