I tried posting this to trueoffmychest to dredge some sympathy for him, since that seemed appropriate and he was good with it, but they don’t allow ‘anger’ or ‘impersonal’ posts and that got quietly removed immediately
Okay, yeah, and this is why I’m happy I created this community. “Toxic positivity”, “extreme safe spaces”, and tangential mentalities are extremely harmful and suffocating and can die in a fire.
Edit: I would also like to say that after looking at r/freecompliments, their rules are over-explained TL;DR stuff and I get the vibe that they are overly controlling, enforcing a toxic level of positivity at all costs, and all that.
Nobody ever explained anything more than the likes of “Voldemort’s back! You have to believe me!” If anyone actually gave account or explained anything at all, the good guys would have a lot more allies than they do. Hell, actually talking is how they convinced a bunch of people to let Harry teach them dark arts defense in Order of the Phoenix. It seems that actually talking is how every good event happens, and that not talking is how every bad event happens.
Hey look, there it is again in the one I’m at now. Hermoine to Potter: “What’s wrong with your hand?” Potter: “Nothing.” (This was the Dolores torture). Hermoine actually finds out, which is refreshing. “You’ve got to tell Dumbledore.” Harry: “No. Dumbledore’s got enough on his mind right now.” Freaking stupid, Harry.
This “is anything happening?” “No, nothing.” exchange with Potter is constant in this series.
How is that fucking legal?
Capitalism: “Numbers go brrrrr”
Chill, it’s just Riley Freeman. We love him, but that n***a is stupid, man.
I came here to say this. Like, they’re not wrong.
It’s getting old telling people this, but… the AI that we have right now? Isn’t even really AI. It’s certainly not anything like in the movies. It’s just pattern-recognition algorithms. It doesn’t know or understand anything and it has no context. It can’t tell the difference between a truth and a lie, and it doesn’t know what a finger is. It just paints amalgamations of things it’s already seen, or throws together things that seem common to it— with no filter nor sense of “that can’t be correct”.
I’m not saying there’s nothing to be afraid of concerning today’s “AI”, but it’s not comparable to movie/book AI.
Edit: The replies annoy me. It’s just the same thing all over again— everything I said seems to have went right over most peoples’ heads. If you don’t know what today’s “AI” is, then please stop assuming about what it is. Your imagination is way more interesting than what we actually have right now. This is why we should have never called what we have now “AI” in the first place— same reason we should never have called things “black holes”. You take a misnomer and your imagination goes wild, and none of it is factual.
Yee, I did this first thing. And you’re right about how a lot of people don’t tag anything properly-- a battle we can never win.
“Suspicious”, yeah. “Immediately making assumptions and then effing someone over”, no. I wouldn’t have been dumb enough to not investigate. Hell, if it wasn’t them, it could make a great story. “Yeah, my dad named me Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s hell, but it’s also kinda great?”
That’s not only stupid, that sounds fucking illegal.
I called you “bro”.
I didn’t say it was a good pun.
You’re wrong. Come at me, bro.

Excuse me, but as a middle child, I have to absolutely object to that last statement. Middle children have their own unique sibling/personality complexes. :P
Oh wait, I don’t exist. Wow, that’s a stealthy, mean joke. That cuts, fam.
10 to 15 years ago, myself. Don’t remember exactly.
Yee. “Everyone is a bit autistic” and “autism is an infinite spectrum” really piss me off. Like, I have real symptoms. Trichotillomania and auditory meltdowns and hyperfocus are real things I deal with, people.
In the end, if you don’t share (some or more) symptoms, you don’t share a diagnosis— medical or mental. Autism needs to be understood so autistic people can get support and tools. If that means we need more-specific words than just “autism”, then that’s just how it is.
Don’t forget your dual-wheel, 4D+ mouse!
UPDATE: I just created [email protected]! I couldn’t create it on lemmy.world, sorry. Lemmy World can be weird like that. But at least lemm.ee is stable!

Edit 2: What sucks is I made this new banner for it, but lemm.ee has never let me upload images, even profile pics or banners.
