You’re really good at writing compelling fiction.

I’m not defending Elon. I think he’s a hetero neurotypical privileged asshole. It’s you people who want to make up a narrative that he’s a vulnerable minority.

Non-clinical narcissism is asexuality, and Elon isn’t asexual.

Elon Musk doesn’t have NPD. And accusing people of being disabled is not an epic burn. It’s only an insult if you think disabled people are worth less than neurotypicals. Sensible people don’t hate the disabled, so calling him a n*rcissist isn’t an insult.

Calling him neurotypical is a bigger insult. Because it implies that all of his weirdness is a choice.

I know they use Mastodon to do it. Truth Social runs on the Mastodon software.

This is a political post. It even says libertarian in the title. The meme uses the word “liberal” and threatens violence to people based on the political freedom of their operating system. You chose to click on it, you chose to read it and continue reading, and you chose to go to the comments to talk about it. Now you’re complaining that politics are suddenly involved. Sorry buddy, it’s time to take some personal responsibility for your own decisions. You made a choice and now you’re complaining that you have to see what you clicked on this meme to see. There’s nothing I or anyone else can do to protect you from seeing the things you deliberately click on.

As someone with conservative views, do you believe in conserving the environment through strong environmental regulations, or do you prefer letting these big fancy companies take away our seasons and weather and animals for their own agendas?

Generating multiple pictures of the same character is actually pretty hard. For example, let’s say you’re making a visual novel with a bunch of anime girls. You spin up your generative AI, and it gives you a great picture of a girl with a good design in a neutral pose. We’ll call her Alice. Well, now you need a happy Alice, a sad Alice, a horny Alice, an Alice with her face covered with cum, a nude Alice, and a hyper breast expansion Alice. Getting the AI to recreate Alice, who does not exist in the training data, is going to be very difficult even once.

And all of this is multiplied ten times over if you want granular changes to a character. Let’s say you’re making a fat fetish game and Alice is supposed to gain weight as the player feeds her. Now you need everything I described, at 10 different weights. You’re going to need to be extremely specific with the AI and it’s probably going to produce dozens of incorrect pictures for every time it gets it right. Getting it right might just plain be impossible if the AI doesn’t understand the assignment well enough.

Millions of users is a bit of a misleading term. You mean millions of Nazis. I don’t care to talk to Nazis.

Shitter is just one website. If I post to mastodon, people on hundreds of websites can see my content. Why on earth would I post to shitter if I wanted visibility???

So what’s it called when the government is a handful of private individuals, as opposed to representing the public?

I didn’t read it. The Register has a drier tone than I felt like reading today. I mean seriously, putting the word tabletop in quotes? I am NOT the target audience for that writing style.

Actually they say that Comet Dibiasky is twice the size of the dinosaur killer, but they also say it’s 6-1 9 kilometres wide. 10 kilometres is the size of Chicxulub. Scientifically it was very inaccurate. But politically it’s flawless.

Don’t look up

I’m a psychopath and I don’t use Twitter. I have PTSD. Also you shouldn’t call mentally ill people psychopaths, it’s considered offensive. You should say mentally ill person in the same language you’re speaking, in this case English. And maybe stop saying mentally ill people are rich. We’re not rich.

I don’t get it

I hate paypal because they’re transphobic.

See, I made a paypal account long after changing my legal name, and I made the account under my current legal name. They asked for a birth certificate to prove my identity, so I gave them one. I have an amended birth certificate from when I changed my name that lists both my deadname and my current legal name. When Paypal saw my birth certificate, they changed the name on my account to my deadname, even though the paperwork clearly stated it wasn’t my legal name. When I complained to them, they told me I had to submit change of name paperwork to change the name on my account. Well I never changed my name while I had a paypal account! They did! I just wanted it un-changed to what it was before. If I need to submit change of name paperwork to fix their mistake, why didn’t they need paperwork to change it away from my legal name in the first place?
