@mcc i kind of forgot that in my early 20's i had already figured out how and why paid software would never be truly reliable. it's a fundamentally doomed model. i argued this fervently with my colleagues.

but we all worked for software companies, and their success depended on not taking me seriously, so they preferred making counterarguments until i thought "maybe it doesn't matter after all".

@dalias @soatok i don't mean to be the bearer of bad news but if these systems would only plagiarize it would certainly be easier to dismiss em. they also inter- and extrapolate, which, if a human had done it, would be counted as original work. of course that's not all that creative work is, and so it's quite limited.

overfitting is undesirable, because it turns a fuzzy database into a regular database - then it's not plagiarism, it's a straight up copyright violation.

@dalias @soatok "they"

@lanodan @Truck @drq "contaminates"? it's hardly this dramatic. you'll survive it.

and what you wish for should also exist.

@drq @Truck @lanodan are we losing? i didn't notice.

@whitequark captcha tests should be more like "which of these persons healthcare should be stripped away?" and regardless of who you pick, you fail the test

@whitequark isn't the purpose of the test to determine if someone's human?

@foone 0. the people who write and maintain it don't use it themselves

@bmacDonald94 victim blaming

remember flash mobs? when the internet troops still had a formation. seems it's all guerilla dancing nowadays.

@RamenCatholic Slack is Mood / Slack is a Vibe / Slack Slaps.

@RamenCatholic as a tele-anointed discordian pope (german denomination) i hereby declare the alliance as confirmed

@RamenCatholic what is RamenCatholicism's alignment towards the Church of the SubGenius?

throwing my depression in the trash

@RamenCatholic first say yes, then say "well, almost" and clarify.

@RamenCatholic also edibles beat smoking for so many reasons. even dry herb vaping is better. esp since you can first vape to get there fast, then eat the vaped product to concatenate six more hours on top of the three you already got.

the existence of activism suggests the existence of deactivism

memorizing each brand that interrupts my youtube livestream with ads, so that i can explicitly avoid it
