If eastern cultures don’t like imitation, why are there a million identical isekai light novels with an average joe who dies, reincarnates in a slightly altered Dungeons and Dragons world, and gets a harem of women with huge breasts whose personalities are taken straight from TVtropes?
As an artist, when people imitate me, I take it as flattery.
When a machine imitates me, I take it as an insult to life itself.
You know, an AI designed to tell if a witness is lying would be really useful…
For autism diagnosis. If the AI thinks the patient is lying no matter what they say, the patient has autism.
How will this affect the Platinum market in Warframe?
One day an old jewish pole, living in Warsaw, has his last light bulb burn out. To get a new one he’ll have to stand in line for two hours at the store (and they’ll probably be out by the time he gets there), so he goes up to his attic and starts rummaging around for an old oil lamp he vaguely remembers seeing.
He finds the old brass lamp in the bottom of a trunk that has seen better days. He starts to polish it and (poof!) a genie appears in cloud of smoke.
“Hoho, Mortal!” says the genie, stretching and yawning, “For releasing me I will grant you three wishes.”
The old man thinks for a moment, and says, “I want Genghis Khan resurrected. I want him to re-unite his mongol hordes, march to the Polish border, and then decide he doesn’t want the place and march back home.”
“No sooner said than done!” thunders the genie. “Your second wish?”
“Ok. I want Genghis Khan resurrected. I want him to re-unite his mongol hordes, march to the Polish border, and then decide he doesn’t want the place and march back home.”
“Hmmm. Well, all right. Your third wish?”
“I want Genghis Khan resurrected. I want him to re-unite his --”
“Okokok. Right. What’s this business about Genghis Khan marching to Poland and turning around again?”
The old man smiles. “He has to pass through Russia six times.”
I’m a proud Marxist-Leninist! I personally believe that using tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution was justified, because anyone who disagrees with Stalin on how to achieve communism is a Nazi. And if you want to see the benefits of the marxist-leninist ideology, all you have to do is look at Joe Biden’s recent outspoken support for a worker owned state.
Man goes to the doctor.
He says “Doctor, I am miserable. I have been banned from one of my favourite Lemmy instances for no good reason.”
Doctor says “Treatment is simple. db0 runs a community for disputing wrongful bans. Go argue with strangers. That should pick you up.”
“But, Doctor…” says the man, “I was banned by db0.”
Absolutely correct, comrade. And what happened? We leftists told everyone Kamala is evil, and the people listened to us and didn’t vote Democrat. We got Trump into the white house. And then the Democrats realised that they need to appeal to the left to win next time. So they’ve cleaned up their act and taken genocide off the agenda. And now they’re actually stopping Trump’s fascism. He’ll be impeached any day now!
Not if they didn’t remove any comments

That’s too hard for the average Lemmy user. They need a mod to tell them what to think instead of reading comments.
Luigi would be a hero if he were the guy who did it
Luigi wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Nah, mods can just lie in the modlog. Verify that shit, don’t listen to someone just because they’re an authority.
Unless they’re a .ml admin. The admins of lemmy.ml are always perfect.
You can block tiktok’s domains at the router DNS level. At least then they can’t watch it on the home wifi.
We have taken parents rights away to allow children to make decisions on their gender and name changes, yet we expect parent to be responsible for their actions like accessing porn.
That’s not a contradiction. Gender and name are about who the child is. Porn is about who the child wants to imagine having sex with. One of them, 99% of children are perfectly capable of making a good decision on. One of them can potentially be traumatising, and certainly isn’t absolutely necessary for a good life and healthy development.
That said, it’s not the government’s job to control it. An “I am 18” button and a lesson in health class are enough.
If porn sites must be legislated, here’s a better way: force them to display information to users on unrealistic depictions, the dangers of underage sex, and counselling resources.
Some conservative created a bunch of transphobic communities and made a post. Kabi commented on the post to tell everyone that the conservative thinks Nazism is left wing. The conservative called Kabi a Nazi for pointing this out.
Fair.
