If we're gonna start talking about porn addiction, I think we have to start asking the people disconnected from religion.
Once the pressure of "sex = sin" is lifted, you can develop a healthy idea of sex and your relationship with porn & people can change to be a lot less burdensome on your mind.

at some point I really think there needs to be some sort of large scale pushback on Valve for their complete abdication of responsibility in moderating steam forums to every individual developer regardless of whether or not they asked for it, allowing this tumour to completely fester.

Names, email addresses and other contact details of about 70,000 global users could also have been taken Government ID photos of about 70,000 global users of Discord, a popular messaging and chat platform among video gamers, may have been exposed after hackers compromised a company contracted to carry out age verification checks. Some users’ names, email addresses and other contact details, IP addresses and messages with Discord’s customer service agents may also have been taken. The attacker has been trying to extort a ransom from the company. No full credit card details or passwords were seized. Continue reading...

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

powerful people are already arguing that we should abandon any climate goals in favor of expending all our resources on the development of bigger/more advanced LLMs so that we can build a god to save us from climate change. that's real and consequential danger and millions are going to die for it

tunes to make you run away @whippoorwont.bsky.social · 8d

the play bigotry against LLMs is cringe but also easily recognizable. what's far more insidious and dangerous is the belief that we must build an intellect so singular that it fundamentally alters the course of history and the fabric of society

Relying on AI instantly devalues your work because ur basically telling the world that your art has more value than the work of other artists. Who's to say that your music wasn't ALSO created by AI if your standards are that low? Whether it was your intent or not, thats the vibe youre putting out.

Hun. Think about all the legendary album covers that have just been text on a plain bg, or just a photo. I understand the impact that a beautifully illustrated album cover can have, but it doesn't NEED to be that.
