“Very well, he will be reinstated, provided he does not violate the law, and let him be crushed by the comments and Community Notes,” Musk said. “It is better to have anti whatever out in the open to be rebutted than grow simmering in the darkness.”

Looking at the state of public discourse and the rise of right wing extremists, I don’t think bringing all the nazi’s and other haters into the light of the internet has helped. That shit is definitely growing.

My housemate is dutch. He will find a dutch connection to everything on the planet. My coffee is dutch, the stockmarket is dutch, cheese sandwiches are dutch, the computer chips are dutch, nasi goreng is dutch, it’s all fucking dutch in his mind. If aliens landed he would probably claim that they came because of the dutch.

He would also like everyone to remember that the nazi’s stole the dutch people’s bicycles and how dare anyone not know this.

Generative AI Is Coming To Your Home Appliances (www.forbes.com)

Across all industries, organizations are rapidly embracing generative AI. Among them, makers of home appliances like fridges and ovens. Generative AI in your oven? Why not?

‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People (www.404media.co)

A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of...

The analogy given is it’s like watching video the next day of yourself undergoing sex without consent as if you’d been drugged.

You want a world where people just desensitise themselves to things that make them want to die through repeated exposure. I think you’ll get a whole lot of complex PTSD instead.

eatthecake ,

From another comment:

To people who aren’t sure if this should be illegal or what the big deal is: according to Harvard clinical psychiatrist and instructor Dr. Alok Kanojia (aka Dr. K from HealthyGamerGG), once non-consensual pornography (which deepfakes are classified as) is made public over half of people involved will have the urge to kill themselves. There’s also extreme risk of feeling depressed, angry, anxiety, etc. The analogy given is it’s like watching video the next day of yourself undergoing sex without consent as if you’d been drugged.

Try to imagine watching a realistic video of yourself being abused, imagine your mother watching. That will absolutely fuck some people up, and a lot of those victims are going to be children. Shit is going to get bad.

eatthecake ,

The thing that makes them want to die is societal pressure, not the act itself.

That’s an assumption that you have no evidence for. You are deciding what feelings people should have by your own personal rules and completely ignoring the people who are saying this is a violation. What gives you the right to tell people how they are allowed to feel?

eatthecake ,

The question is why, with an internet full of porn, do men want non consensual pornography that they know women are opposed to. It’s as if the hurtfulness, the lack of consent and the control over the woman in the video are actually the point.

eatthecake ,

How did they get two different versions? Did they take two sets of photos or edit out some of the children? I hope somebody gets fired.

eatthecake ,

So they took a photo with all the kids and then asked the undesirables to leave for the second photo? And everyone was fine with that?

eatthecake ,

I hate that this is in my supposedly nsfw free feed :(

eatthecake ,

So, if I say that sexism is not good, even in art, then I say sexism doesn’t exist and am therefore an asshole?

What?

eatthecake ,

What does healthcare have to do with it? Denying healthcare is never art, in my opinion.

eatthecake ,

Denying healthcare is art to you? Seriously? Hahahaha I’ve always hated modern so called art but that really takes the cake. You’re not even trying to make the slightest bit of sense lol

eatthecake ,

You might as well complain that learning about slavery hurts the feelings of white children. Women will talk about and argue against sexism snd misogyny and your complaints will only serve to remind us that our talk is justified and necessary.

eatthecake ,

Maybe it’s like the soup throwers, any publicity is good publicity. Actual misogynists are beyond help, especially help from women. They hate us and there’s no changing that so there’s no point trying with them. But we can reach out to each other and support each other. Me Too certainly made me feel less alone and had a marked impact on my mental health surrounding sexual assault.

This whole incident is just trolling I guess, and it’s hilarious because conservatives are always complaining that women are sensitive snowflakes but when we turn it around y’all can’t take it.

eatthecake ,

Anyone on the fence about feminism is an enemy. The fact that we have rapist influencers is proof of the need for feminism. Also, it is the 20’s. And maybe you aren’t the target audience. Maybe women are doing this for themselves.

Im starting to think that what a lot of people learned from the holocaust wasn’t ‘never let this happen again’, but ‘never let this happen to the jews again’. The people of gaza are being wiped out because we, the west, can’t hold a Jewish state accountable for their actions, because that might make us nazis in the eyes of morons and their propagandists.

He also thinks it’s an affront to nature and creation that could lead to cloning, so yeah…

Who are you tell people how they ought to feel? The desire for privacy is perfectly normal and you are the one trying to shame people for not wanting naked pictures of themselves everywhere.

eatthecake ,

What you mean to say is that non consensual nude pictures of women will be normalised and you’re ok with that. Sexual assault and domestic violence are also pretty common, you want to normalise those too?

eatthecake ,

This is exactly the same as slut shaming just in the opposite direction. Prude is a word designed to shame women who refuse to be sex objects.

Forcing women to accept fake porn of themselves does not give women agency. It does the opposite.

Humanity’s superpower is sweating—but rising heat could be our kryptonite, and an average temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels could bring regular, fatal heat waves to large parts of the planet, says Tom Matthews, a senior lecturer in environmental geography at King’s College London.

“We have evolved to cope with the most extreme heat and humidity the planet can throw at us,” he explains. But when our core temperature gets to about 42 degrees Celsius (around 107.5 degrees Fahrenheit), people face heat stroke and probable death as the body strains to keep cool and the heart works harder, inducing heart attacks.

Matthews cites an example from his home country, the UK. In the summer of 2022, the UK broke its high temperature record, surpassing 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Scientists estimate there were roughly 3,500 heat-associated deaths that summer in the UK. Across Europe, they estimate high heat caused more than 60,000 deaths.

Meteorologist Debunks Weather Myths

“At 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming, the likes of Lagos, Karachi, [and] Shanghai start to experience heat waves exceeding our limit. At 2 degrees Celsius, the events increase at least 10 times more often, and if we get to 8 degrees Celsius, a large fraction of the Earth’s surface would be too hot for our physiology and would not be habitable,” he says.

Air conditioning and heat-escape rooms would help, but we might need to abandon intense outdoor work such as rice farming in hotter regions. And these solutions will need to be able to meet demand. “The infrastructure must be able to withstand the surges when everyone turns on the air conditioning, and must be able to withstand hurricanes or floods,” he says.

Our best hope in the face of inevitable rises in heat? Cooperation. “We’ve built forecasting systems that will warn us when disasters are incoming by working together at enormous scale. We must continue to do the same.”

A third of Bumble's Texas workforce moved after state passed restrictive 'Heartbeat Act' abortion bill | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

Bumble has lost a third of its Texas workforce in the months since the state passed the controversial abortion SB 8 (Senate Bill 8), also known as the Texas Heartbeat Act, over a year ago. This new data point was shared by Bumble’s Interim General Counsel, Elizabeth Monteleone, speaking on a panel this afternoon at the SXSW...

eatthecake ,

Did you finish the article? It has a whole paragraph about their decision to cut their own workforce.

These issues are even more pressing for a company like Bumble which is currently struggling with growth and appealing to a younger audience that seems less interested in dating apps than their older counterparts. The dating app maker posted a weak Q4, with a $32 million net loss and $273.6 million in revenue. It also announced it was letting go of 350 employees after other organizational shifts that saw founder Whitney Wolfe Herd stepping down as CEO and a shake-up in the C-suite, which included the appointment of former Slack CEO Lidiane Jones as its new CEO.

If this was meant to distract people from the fact that Israel is stopping aid getting into Gaza then it’s not working. More the reverse I think.

some states have passed laws to protect crypto mining’s access to huge amounts of power.

Why would they do that?

eatthecake ,

Texas already offers help for small business regardless of minority status:

The Governor’s Office of Small Business Assistance and the Business Permit Office assist small and medium Texas businesses through advocacy, entrepreneurial support, education and technical assistance. The team serves as a focal point in the state for start-ups and small businesses of all sizes in urban, suburban and rural communities. The offices offer a variety of services, including assistance with permitting, licensing and regulatory compliance, small business resource referrals and informational small business webinars and events.

If a society is to properly serve the needs of all it’s members then it must recognise that those needs differ, sometimes due to historical and ongoing abuse of certain groups. A one size fits all approach to social services is not going to work. Targeted help is needed and when racism is a factor then that help will naturally reflect the problem.

eatthecake ,

You can’t scream about equality yet want to keep a inherently sexist system that gives the woman ALL the power when it comes to birth and child rearing.

Newsflash: human reproduction is an inherently sexist system that gives women ALL the negative consequences and responsibility of menstruation and pregnancy.

Men have a say about whether to have sex (barring rape where i don’t beleive men should pay anything) and whether to use contraception. As I said in my comment, better contraception that men are in control of is the solution. You can’t opt out of the consequences of your actions. For women the consequence may be abortion but that is still a consequence. Men would not have this issue if they took responsibilty for their fertility, but instead you want to put it all on the woman and call that fairness. Laughable.

eatthecake ,

Ffs, they have a choice to have sex, sex carries risk. Grow up, use a condom and accept the reality that if you take the risk you take the responsibility. Biology isn’t fair and the woman has a choice due entirely to biology.

eatthecake ,

So? Getting an abortion or taking the morning after pill are possible solutions for women. They are not possible for men because men don’t get pregnant and therefore don’t have access to those solutions. Why you think that means they should be able to have risk free sex and transfer all their economic risk to women is beyond me. Seems rather unfair to be honest, and what incentuve would men have to use contraception then? There is no point in continuing this conversation.
