I'm not here to argue the finer points, and in general I simply try to aim for the practical actions that lead to better circumstances. I agree with many of your points.

This lawsuit won't fix anything but it will slow down the progress of OpenAI and their ability to loot culture and content for all it's value. I see it as a foot in the door for less economically capable artists and such.

Lawsuits are not isolated incidents. The outcome of this will have far reaching impacts on the future of how people's work is treated in regards to AI and training data.

Noooooooooo. No.

Everyone and every organization has a bias. Even a "neutral" bias is a bias. Finding out which way their bias leans is good info to figure out.

Someday maybe people won't use attractiveness as a symbol for intelligence and morals, but not today...

For someone who claimed to not be a fan of OpenAI, you sure do know all the fan arguments against regulation for AI.

Some people are missing the forest for the trees here

Having a businesses app on your phone is better regular advertising than anything they could ever pay for.

They just want an excuse to make you look at their logo and think about their business as regularly as possible

You wanted to say "You can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here." And phrased it as a bad question so you could post it here. You just want to soapbox.

Managing the content of your own feed is your responsibility. If people post off topic in communities, handle it with a report, not another post.

You are creating what you are complaining about. This thread is the most discussion about reddit I've seen in a week or more.

Lmao you don't really even know what you are talking about.

"Free speech" means the government itself cannot infringe your speech. It doesn't mean SHIT to anyone who isn't the government. "The court of public opinion" is not a literal court! And it is a group expression of the free speech you love!

You are just bitching about people being deplatformed off of privately owned websites (which isn't what happened to this asshole because he is on fuckin netflix) and you want to be dramatic and make it seem like they are all victims and need to be protected based on your misunderstanding of law

You are just trying to get people to rage watch it.

The transphobia is obviously, clearly there. It won't stop being fucked up and shitty because he giggled after he said it.

No it doesn't full stop.

Public "cancellation" is free speech by the public and it always will be

I mean if you want to know how it would effect me it wouldn't. Posts from beehaw don't even come up, flooded out by more active communities, unless I go directly to the beehaw comms. I functionally use it as a seperate website anyways now, if I ever feel like checking it.

I don't really understand your overall goal talk tho. You want to be nice in an intentionally vague way, but you feel like federation is somehow limiting you from achieving this vague state of niceness... Is it just moderation difficulties (not to downplay them) or is something else about leaving the fediverse door open problematic to being nice?

To be blunt the solution to your problems seems to me the same as every single other time beehaw federation is talked about: the community you want to achieve will require many more moderators than a typical community of equivalent size, they will need specialized mod tools, they will need to be high quality skilled highly vetted mods, and you will need exponentially more of them the more users appear on beehaw. Federation doesn't directly stop you from doing any of that, but it does lead to faster growth, which leads to too much work if you aren't constantly adding moderators to match growth.

You should be asking yourself how big you want beehaw to be, and how big of a beehaw you think can be achieved at all.

Sorry I didn't mean to be this rambly when I started writing ignore it if you want

Now I feel weird because the discussions here are great, in depth, and nuanced, but the way I feel about this is kinda boring and uncomplicated? Am I missing something?

If I'm playing a customized character that I made, I prefer characters to be playersexual, allowing custom relationships to match my custom character.

If I'm playing as a written character and experiencing a set story, it is better for all characters to be written well, and have realistic sexualities, as part of the story presented.

As far as representation goes, I think both can have problems, but neither are inextricably problematic.

If I had a nickle for everytime there was a chess scandal and some media site reported that someone (allegedly) cheated with bluetooth anal beads, I could buy some bluetooth anal beads and win a chess tournament
