I think there’s currently over a hundred potential victims individually or collectively suing him.

And before anyone starts searching, please take this trigger warning. It’s one of those cases that seems to have about the worst allegation making him look like a real monster.

We’ll see how much of that will stick in trial but it’s looking really bad for him.

Omg I wanna go there now

Why does this analogy make sense to me for some reason?

We gotta go more stupid

Indeed they seem to be particular proud about all the right and wrong things.

As a German, fair enough.

Funnily enough, I think Jesse and James both had their own episodes where they split from team rocket and somehow become very reasonable.

I loved those because it made the plot a little bit more nuanced and interesting.

Yeah I’m just trying to raise this take every once in a while in the hopes of making systematic progress on this issue at some point ^^

While I don’t think emulation is a bad way in every case, in most cases it’s a huge risk and probably only helpful to a very small degree. This stuff can get very complex and I’m neither a scientist studying psychology nor a therapist, and for that matter I think those are the people that should brain storm a proper way to treat those people.

And we can start by calling them what they are in the first place. Sick in the brain. Mentally ill. And then we can start treating them properly.

And if they still commit crimes, then we can all say we tried our best and we prioritize our short term safety again over long term reduction and they will go to prison for (at least) a while.

But yeah, finding a better systematic way to prevent sexual crimes should be our priority over the satisfaction of identifying and shaming people with bad thoughts.

Yes it would. If I knew someone is thinking about murder and someone else is doing the murder, and I could choose, I would definitely take the one thinking about murder.

Now it would be great if no one was thinking about murder in the first place but the world is complex, and because we are able to choose to some degree, let’s do that instead of saying “IDC, both is bad, I’ll take any of them”.

History shows us pedophiles exist. Some have thoughts, some commit crimes.

If we imprison all of them, that just means people will never tell you about it and they resort more to repression and crimes. But if we only imprison the ones who act on it, we open the rest of them up to the possibility that everyone accepts they won’t “go away” and we could focus on making sure they don’t act on it.

And there’s potential: a combination of different therapies helping them learn to live with it in a safe way could go a long way.

If we help them, we help us.

But if we criminalize their thoughts, they will resort to crime, because that’s all they know.

I’m always torn about this.

If you have those thoughts and act on it, it’s a crime and it’s awful. But if you don’t, why should we penalize you? Shouldn’t we encourage people with those thoughts not to act on it?

It’s a really dark topic, but I really wish we could properly discuss it. And if we consider how many people seem to have those thoughts, we should find a better way than to hunt them. Because to them it’s just a “damned if you do, danned if you don’t” and that’s probably gonna encourage more crimes.

Unfortunately considering how bipartisan all conversations are and how hard it is to discuss those topics, it’s gonna be awhile until we can really take a shot at improving our processes when it comes to that.

Nice

Is this satire?

Let’s goooooo we getting a bean reveal

With all the hot takes and dichotomies out there, it would be nice if we could have a nuanced discussion about what we actually want from AI right now.

Not all applications are good and not all are bad. The ideas that you have for AI are so interesting, I wish we could just collect those. Would be way more helpful than all the AI shills or haters rn.

Wait that’s genius. I would listen to Snoop Dogg teaching me particle physics any day of the week.

Counterpoint: the first enemy we faced after I got fireball was an enemy with fire resistance. My DM had a good laugh when I discovered that and I’m still mourning that spell slot.

in full compliance with the letter and the spirit of copyright law

That is some real semantic acrobatics. The law is supposed to follow societal norms and reflect boundaries accordingly. Yeah, AI laws take time, and obv there hasn’t been enough legislation done. That said, the EU for example already has a law for AI but the member states need to adapt that into national laws now.

There is law here. And even though I’m sure what they are doing rn will be illegal or at least very heavily regulated in the future, they might be doing something illegal today. Depending on how eager governments are to litigate, this might already get dicey in the coming months.

Yeah that part tripped me up.

“Rolling context window”? You mean one of the universal properties of LLMs in it’s current state? The one that is so big for Google’s latest AI endeavors that they are flexing with it?

It’s hilarious to say that’s a privacy feature. It’s like calling amnesia a learning opportunity.

These claims make me think this is worse than the R1 rabbit or whatever it’s called. Although it’s very difficult to be worse, considering the CEO turned out to be a full-on crypto scammer.

God that’s bad. This is what I’d expected Russian trolls to do on Lemmy before getting down voted into oblivion, but I wouldn’t expect a CEO to do this. This is fucked up.
