    Why the fuck are people still using X unless they’re literally alt-right nazis and pedos?

    Americans: “tHeRe’S nOtHiNg wE cAn dO” Door dashes some 60 dollar chipotle while Xitting all over themselves.

    MAYBE STOP MAKING THESE FUCKERS RICHER EVERY FUCKING DAY?!?!?

    You don’t even have to have a general strike!! Just regain control of your fucking habits!!! Please!? Starve the actual beast.

      I’m screaming this every day, and lemmy is especially ridiculous given our views on capitalism.

      In a thread about fast food prices last year, I was told I was privileged for suggesting that, “maybe stop buying their shit?”

      If every American had my wife and I’s spending habits, the economy would collapse in 3-4 months.

        People will agree amazon is evil and needs to have less power but say it’s too convenient and cheap. They’ll say apple is too powerful while buying every new iPhone. I watch people who say I’m privileged spend more money than I do on everything from food to entertainment. Most people really don’t care about enacting their principles, if it means giving up anything or spending 2 minutes of effort. Is what it is I guess.

        Exactly. Quiet quitting was a step in the right direction. What we need is a quiet strike. Take back our will from corporations, from food prep to social media/dating apps. Their hold is pervasive and destructive to the social fabric in almost every instance at this point. The key problem in the “free world” is that people have placed their faith in corporations and religious organizations and have learned to fear their neighbor by default, which is entirely backwards to a healthy society and hands all the power to the top.

        spending your $ consciously is literally the only way to fix this beast, the entire system is designed towards extracting it…therefor the only way to stress the system is to give your $ to (good) local/private businesses whenever possible.

      For some they use it as a newsfeed without having to interact. For others, it’s utilized as a PR platform because partisans don’t limit themselves to Bluesky and Mastadon. Also, no need to pay the bastard for a blue checkmark.

      musk asked people to be nice. That should cover the service, legally speaking, no?

      It’s not like he could pull the plug, or alter the behavior of the bot, that’s impossible (as long as you ignore the many time he did).

        He sold a money-losing business with massive untapped potential to be a psyop to someone with infinite money and a desire for a psyop.

      AI crawlers are scraping every site. Every site. Random public-but-unlisted hobby sites are getting scraped and spiking users’ data. There was a Lemmy post about someone who had that experience just yesterday.

      Think of how much Child Porn is stored on public sites that are shared in private groups. Also consider that FaceBook is the largest distributor of Child Sex Abuse material. These models are absolutely trained on Child Porn.

        Why is this not all over the news too? A rhetorical question. Sadly, I think we all know the answer by now.

      People posting photos online of their kid in the bath, at the beach, etc. with reckless abandon maybe.

      For as far as I remember (and that’s quite far these days), we’ve kept telling people to not post pictures of their kids online as much as possible. Way before the facebooks and way before the LLM craze, so people can’t mess with them. Guess 20 years of heads up wasn’t enough.

        Can confirm. Been a mod on one minor social media site. Once banned a group that claimed to be “nudist”. More than half of photos were featuring under aged children. This shit happens more often than we think.

      They don’t need to.

      Take pictures of normal dressed children, combine with pictures of naked adults. Now you have CP.

        I haven’t seen these pictures, so I can’t say how good/bad it works, but if that was only that, the results would be more or less wrong. Kids are quite different from adults.

        On the other hand, plenty of pictures of naked/semi naked kids in a non sexual context can probably be found online already, so it’s not inconceivable that their model had plenty of references to use anyway.

    The bad guys normalised racism, fraud, sexism and a lot of other evils and had people cheering for them as they flouted the law and protected each other from prosecution. It has been bad for ever regardless of who was in power with the two tier justice system that protected the elites while punishing everyone else. But we are in the end game now. The masks are off

    You too can be allowed to sample the vices of the wealthy elites, in moderation and under their control. In return all they ask is your loyalty. Seems kind of weird and out of touch to me. Regular people mostly just want good health, a place to raise a family, some free time and a decent income. No AI hallucination is going to substitute. They think so little of us.

    “suspension pledge” as in, their papier-maché leader asked people to “be nice, or face the consequence” on the service that don’t give a shit about consequences? I’m sure they were very scared for a second.

        In America:

        Section 230 of the Communications Act provides immunity for online platforms and users, stating they generally aren’t liable for content posted by others, allowing them to host third-party information without being treated as the “publisher or speaker”.

        I’m guessing Europe has a similar provision.

        The story says:

        After days of concern over use of the chatbot to alter photographs to create sexualised pictures of real women and children stripped to their underwear without their consent

        Pictures of women or children in underwear are generally not illegal in the United States.

          There are states that say a character in a book being gay or trans is automatically porn, so I think intentionally sexualizing a child in underwear should be sufficient.
