  • That’s the history of memes.

    So at first, people were making fun of a bad artist with a bad comic. In that context it wasn’t edgelord material, he was an adult and he can handle being the butt of a joke.

    Then, the meme gained a life of its own (its context was itself) and that old context ceased to matter. It wasn’t about the artist anymore, but without context it still wasn’t edgelord material.

    At no point was the joke edgy because the joke was never about miscarriage.

    The context is that people recognize the meme. That’s basically it. The joke is itself.

    But also I don’t really care if some artist is annoyed that his early, bad artwork became the butt of a joke. He was in his 20s when he started that comic, let’s not pretend like this is bullying a child’s comics or something.

    You might have missed the joke?

    The joke isn’t that miscarriage is funny. That’s edgelord material.

    The joke is that B^Uckley is a hack writer and hack artist and his comics aren’t funny and look like shit. It’s making fun of him.


  • China’s commitment to peaceful internal development certainly means they won’t help revolutionary communism abroad directly, at least for now, but they still raise the contractions. Normal people will look at their growing economy and compare it to our stagnant economy and become agitated.

    And then there’s BRICS destroying the reserve currency status of the US dollar and bringing about a multipolar world.

    Closer to home, there’s the internal decline of the US that will soon make it impossible for it to meddle in countries with socialist and anticolonial movements. Imagine a world where the US couldn’t kill leaders like Sukarno or Lumumba or Allende, nor could it invade Korea or Vietnam. It will try, of course, but the age of hegemony is over.

    That’s the future I see, and it makes me optimistic.

    Quite off topic for an AI thread, though!






  • Force the AI models to contain some kind of metadata in all their material. Training AI models is a massive undertaking, it’s not like they can hide what they’re doing. We know who is training these models and where their data centers are, so a regulatory agency would certainly be able to force them to comply.

    In the US this could be done with the FCC, in other countries the power can be invested into regulatory bodies that control communications and broadcasting etc.

    The penalty? Break them on the fucking wheel.


  • I’ve hated Reddit since back when shitredditsays was in its hay day (even though I was also an incessent poster) and after they banned the Chapo subreddit I retreated to only really using a few local subreddits to keep track of local news.

    When the exodus started two ish years ago I jumped on the bandwagon and haven’t logged back into Reddit ever since.

    I call y’all reddit.world as a joke but you aren’t nearly as bad.
