Have you ever used cheats on single player games when that was still a thing developers put in games? I did, it was fun. That’s why.

Reddit mods should be renamed spez’s bitches.

I remember a similar case regarding Windows shipping with IE. Whatever happened with that?

Do you have an example of a technology that is more efficient than human labor, doesn’t have those side effects and was successfully held back just to keep jobs?

The union negotiations could include in the contract that AI generated actors are not allowed when SAG is involved.

Ok, but if they want to ban all forms of AI then we are no longer just talking about the morally reprehensible example of a studio buying an actor’s likeness in perpetuity. They want AI gone even when it’s used in a more sensible way which is understandable from their point of view but less so for the rest of us.

They want to pay for an actor’s likeness once then own it for a lifetime.

But isn’t trying to forbid those kind of deals doomed to fail? What if the digital actor doesn’t look like anybody? What if they scan actors from other countries?

<a history of union achievements in Australia>

I’m not arguing about the benefits of unionization, my question was about what happens when a machine becomes more efficient than a human worker. Do you think a union could have saved the switchboard operators? How is it any different from this scenario?

Regarding the AI dilemma I have two questions. How is it different from any other time in history when a worker was replaced by a machine, and given the lessons learned, isn’t it futile to resist?

no offense

That assumes most mods aren’t there for the power trip. I believe they are the majority.

This whole affair just confirms what many people already knew, mods are addicted to power. That’s the real reason they didn’t leave.

You can do that now with a heat gun and some very basic tools.

A heat gun is a specialized tool. That’s the problem.

Go back to reddit, you’re not welcome here.

No. You already sound like a reddit powermod.

which yes, this does in fact make you a transphobe

Thanks, you just proved my point.

But I wasn’t even talking about women’s sports, I was referring to how there are people literally referring to minorities as subhuman and calling for them to be wiped out. Is that not hate enough for you?

Yes, I would consider referring to minorities as subhuman as hate speech. My point is how easily some people throw the phrase ‘hate speech’ to validate their own views and silence debate.

For someone so concerned that your arguments might be mischaracterized, you sure are quick to make sweeping assumptions about people you don’t know.

99% of the people in here are Reddit users, I know those very well. I created my Reddit account 13 years ago when it was a thriving site where you could have discussions just about any topic, instead of the echo chamber that it is today. That’s why I will continue to call them out here, until eventually they take over like they did over Reddit and all dissenting opinions are banned.

Do you have a single example to back this up or are you ready to admit you’re just talking out of your ass?

I do. Discussing whether trans women should be allowed to compete in women sports will get you branded as a transphobic right wing nazi in 99% of Reddit’s subs, and probably banned too. Once you are labeled your arguments are moot, because you are a hater.

What’s with people pretending we are talking about pineapple on pizza whenever hate speech is mentioned?

Because some people (and reddit users in particular) use the strategy of putting everything in the same bag to silence dissent. All it takes is the majority calling ‘pineapple on pizza’ hate speech and now nobody can talk about it in fear of being called a hater.

Anything I don’t like = hate speech. Got it.

I will not ask my fellow lemmy community members to blindly trust me on this.

Ok, I don’t trust you.
