The current AI situation is like if the people who were pushing NFTs had successfully gotten everyone to start referring to any and all digital transactions as an NFT, thus allowing them to pretend that things like online shopping, downloadable video games, bank transfers, etc were closely related to convincing middle-aged would-be techies to invest serious money in ugly digital paintings, and hold the former examples up in defense of the latter any time someone pointed out that the whole NFT thing was a racket. What do you mean NFTs are bad, don't you want disabled people to be able to use their phones to have medication delivered to their doorstep? Wow. Horrible of you, really.

btw it's not spelled "Maori", it's Māori. the tohutō (the line above the vowel) is important for the pronunciation of the word. if you don't have the tohutō on your keyboard (it should be on your phone keyboard at least), it's "Maaori" as the tohutō lengthens the vowel it's placed over. never Maori, preferably Māori but Maaori in a pinch. thanks

Dw it's just entertainment it doesn't influence how I behave or think. Dw it's just fantasy it doesn't influence how I behave or think. Dw it's just a joke it doesn't reveal anything about how I behave or think. What determines how I behave and think, you ask? Uh, my eternal goodboy niceperson soul. obviously

can we send up a quick thank you to pdf uploaders, torrent seeders, copy sharers, scanlators, fansubbers, digitizers, paywall dodgers, and various other internet archivers for making niche art and information more accessible in a media landscape where all but the most profitable mainstream are often tossed aside and left to rot

people act like intersectionality theory means that different aspects of your identity can be stacked like status effects in an RPG and that you can directly compare and contrast people's lived experiences based on the oppression points they have listed in their bio. instead of what it actually means: that someone's intersecting identities cannot be separated and pulled apart in layers, in the same way you cant separate the pavement of a city intersection into one road or another. people's intersecting identities result in a unique experience for every single person and can't easily be compared and ranked
