This is the thing I really don't understand about the AI crowd. I would be so much more supportive of companies like openai if they they were pursuing the automation of the dull tasks nobody wants to do, rather than flagrantly breaking copyright laws (the same ones that have been weaponised against normal folks) to create a pale imitation of human creativity.
Like, shit. I want a machine that will do my taxes and fold my laundry so that I have more time to pursue artistic endeavors.

Damn what are you doing that's destroying these controllers? I have controllers from Microsoft and Nintendo that are over a decade old at this point and still work with regular use.
If they kicked out republicans and pedophiles, there wouldn't be anyone left to give them money
I feel like more implies better treatment. Maybe YDM? 'You deserved worse'
There are indeed plenty of copies, but I wonder if somewhere the whole playlist was properly archived. I'd love to peruse it again for old time's sake
Back in the day, it was kept on the sacred 'important videos' playlist
That's fair, I really enjoy my rereads. While I do remember the main story beats and characters across the series, there's just so much to remember! The depth of the world is easily on par with, if not surpassing, Tolkien's work.
I wouldn't worry about lowering yourself, a sealion is already on the ground after all.
How fucking thick are you? I'm pasting the definition so you don't even have an excuse:
Nazi Bar A space in which bigots or extremists have come to dominate due to a lack of moderation or by moderators wishing to remain neutral or avoid conflict.
Since you lack any reading comprehension skills, let me reiterate: The only people actually interested in engaging in a community without so-called "heavy handed ideological moderation" (your own words) are the ones that have already been kicked out of every other civil space for spewing hate. You are inherently inviting them in through the moderation posture you have adopted.
I feel that this is already covered by the golden rules- namely "1. Don’t be shitty" and "6. When going to other communities, respect their and our rules" in the recent proposal.
The issue here is that certain comms affiliated with genai are being targeted by downvote brigades and trolls, yeah? I won't pretend to have the technical knowledge to provide a solution, but I would rather see efforts to generally combat that happening on /0, rather than carving out rules for targeted groups each time the issue arises.
To be clear, I'm not saying that genai users don't deserve a space where they can discuss their interest. I just don't think that carving out special protections is an actual solution to the problem.
