Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

If anyone sues me in the future for pirating media, I'll claim I'm just gathering training data for future AI training. Of course, I need to review all my training data manually before I can use it for AI training.

Sure, I have a relatively small number of media in my training data collection, but I'm curating it carefully. And I can't be blamed for not having the resources of OpenAI. I'm doing the same thing they're doing, just a lot slower.

It takes time if you want to do it right

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago

Of course! I'm making a bespoke artisanal AI, with media I carefully curate. Unlike the big companies that just feed in truckloads of slop.

Can you sell ideas to lawyers?

Ok have it your way. No more copyright strikes on YouTube then. And you should open source all the code that Google has written across the board.

We cant let copyright get in the way of innovation.

if google can steal content for ai then i can "steal content" by using an adblocker on youtube.

You can do anything you want, just save it in an "ai_dev" directory

i'm pretty dumb so my fifteen seasons of spn are for my artificial intelligence.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If the shit at least worked then maybe I'd give it a pass, but it doesn't. These AI offerings are garbage and we are wasting resources we simply do not have on absolute shit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

I don't disagree with you by any means. That out of the way:

Wouldn't it be so fucking funny if AI destroyed copyright laws though? Like what if we all just say "yeah fuck it train your AI on whatever, and while you're at it enjoy the content"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

These people will gladly feed babies through a printer for LLMs. Autocorrect intelligence.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

As a vehement opponent of copyright in general, I agree. But your AI should be public if trained on public works. At least be ethically consistent.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

Then you shouldn't expect any money for it, either! Easy!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Oh, so that’s what OpenAI meant. Wankers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Yes but neither should it anywhere else. And trademarks should expire even without people genericizing them.
