In this day and age with the internet, I doubt there’s much he doesn’t know about in terms of how it works.

I would pull up statistics on stds and on the cost of raising a kid. Explain to him that almost 1 in 8 people have herpes and it never goes away, and how teen pregnancy really can fuck up future opportunities.

He didn’t get trapped or tricked. He knows what he is doing, he is a traitor that is caving to blackmail.

It seems obvious you know your behavior sucks. You can either make an effort, which most people actually do, or you can pretend you don’t understand and use it as an excuse.

Eventually they won’t be there for you. Why would they when you can’t even be polite or watch their stupid little half a minute videos.

Relationships take effort. It’s easy to notice when the effort is only one sided and it’s very hard to come back from it once it’s clear. Minimum effort or less doesn’t make for good friendships.

Add exclamation points. I’d say no one really does nothing, just share honestly and ask the question back, even if it’s just cleaning or binging some movies.

He’s a tool for manipulation first and foremost, and therefor must be relatable regardless of any grammar rules or even what’s actually written in the Bible.

They would probably use “they” instead in any case, if it were to change. “It” is for objects, pets and clowns.

Cooking up global fediverse rules specifically meant to try and exclude an instance is crossing the line imo. If you don’t like interacting with them, join one of the many instances that have already blocked them.

This kind of crusade goes against the spirit of the fediverse imo.

Definitely not a conservative, none of your beliefs even hint at it imo, except maybe the free market thing. Really, free markets and consumer protection don’t really mix tbh but I’m not an expert on the subject.

You guys both posted it within a few seconds of each other judging by my app updating the time. Impressive.

“But you said you would be my friend if I did what you said!”

I mean, I’ll take either to be honest.

3d extrusion prints have microscopic holes inside, it’s porous. I wouldn’t trust it depending on the application. You can seal the outside and they also sell additives to lessen the effect (here’s a video about it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8x-mjjT8j4) but casting resin might be better (haven’t tried). Resin printing doesn’t have these problems from what I understand but ou can’t really stop the print midway.

Fiberglass, if the object isnt complicated to make, would be the best option in terms of quality. Bending and cutting pvc sheets into a box then soldering is also an option. Soldering pvc and rolling fiberglass isn’t really difficult but they both require specialized tools/materials. Getting pvc pipes and soldering end caps would probably be the easiest.

How robust you need to make it largely depends on pressure and depth.

All LLMs and Gen AI use data they don’t own. The Pile is all scraped or pirated info, which served as a starting point for most LLMs. Image gen is all scraped from the web. Speech to text and video gen mainly uses YouTube data.

So either you put a price tag on that data, which means only a handful of companies can afford to build these tools (including Meta), or you understand that piracy is the only way for most to aquire this data but since it’s highly transformative, it isn’t breaching copyrights or directly stealing from them as piracy “normally” is.

I’m being pragmatic.

The existence hinges on the rewriting and strengthening of copyright laws by data brokers and other cancerous tech companies. It’s not Meta vs us, but opensource vs Google and Openai.

They are being sued for copyright infringement when it’s clearly highly transformative. The rules are fine as is, Meta isn’t the one trying to change them. I shouldn’t go against my own interests and support frivolous lawsuits that will negatively impact me just because Meta is a boogeyman.

He would have to live the rest of his days on the run, as an escaped convict. That isn’t a life.

Don’t give me that slop. No one except the biggest names are getting a dime out it once OpenAI buys up all the data and kills off their competition. It’s also highly transformative, which used to be perfectly legal.

Copyright laws have been turned into a joke, only protecting big money and their interests.

Meta has open sourced every single one of their llms. They essentially gave birth to the whole open llm scene.

If they start losing all these lawsuits, the whole scene dies and all those nifty models and their fine-tunes get removed from huggingface, to be repackaged and sold to us with a subscription fee. All the other domestic open source players will close down.

The copyright crew aren’t the good guys here, even if it’s spearheaded by Sarah Silverman and Meta has traditionally played the part of the villain.

This is a thread about what Trump is currently doing and the most upvoted comment is blaming voters. I don’t know what alienating people after the election serves. It’s literally going to make sure they repeat the same behavior, doubly so if the dems feel confident enough to run on apathy a second time.

My point is that currently, most here seem to be vocal about the wrong thing. They voted stupidly but we’re goaded into it by a party that clearly does not represent its constituantes anymore. We should be asking the party to change but we are doing the opposite.

In a real life trolley problem, you are supposed to blame the ones driving the train and tying up people to tracks, not the guy pulling the lever.

Yes not voting was stupid, but it’s dumber to actually think they hold the blame. The dems won’t even acknowledge being pro genocide was a bad move and it’s because they feel confident their base has been manipulated to blame a scape goat.

What kind of change are we to expect if we can’t even be vocal about something so ridiculous as supporting genocide even after most of us held the line and voted for it anyways. Keep them accountable and stop giving them an easy out.

Even if the collapse doesn’t happen, it’s way harder for them to collect if you have a bunch of guns. Win/win situation.
