I’m not defending it, but how is this different than targeted strikes with gps guided weapons, including the katanabomb? That also has collateral damage.

One can suggest the west is engaged in terrorism in that way too, and I personally believe such strikes only create more terrorists.

But clearly most of the global community agrees with certain targeted strikes on terrorists. This is just a particular flavor of it, and is another shitty feature of the modern “war on terror”.

Another comment said that this is just going to further the violence for another decade (among the other shit Israel is up to) and I agree that the conflict IS the point.

It fucking sucks.

That would be a rare, shiny PEM

The content about the reasons for different smiles is cool. And the highlighting of the training data influencing things is also good stuff.

But as far as realistic image generation based on culturally relatable smiling sounds like a skill issue. You can’t just generate images about specific times or settings or people with “defaults”. You have to specify your prompt.

Aside from I glued my balls to my butthole, I agree most of this stuff is trash.

However, recommendations aren’t free, and aren’t just “happening” to you. You have to curate them. If you click videos, they influence your recommendations. It takes some effort to have a feed you enjoy.

Edit, phrasing. I have no love for the other fuckery YouTube pulls with ads and such, but I think having to put a little effort in to an infinite content generator for all things movie, documentary, news, tutorial, and music is a fair trade. They can’t be right every time, and new popular things will sometimes show up

Absolutely, in so much as posts are made by people with the intention of it being seen, and possibly swaying people to an idea.

Anonymity does not change this. It’s not like people know everyone they see a post for on Twitter either

Edit aside from my using the wrong phrase, it’s funny that folks think Lemmy is special

Lemmy, and other political media.

I guess the phrase is wrong. I’ll edit my comment saying I’m a dumb dumb for using the wrong phrase

Pot, kettle

Edit I’m a dumb dumb and used the wrong phrase.

I mean Lemmy is social media just like Twitter, and is not free from the risk of political “forcing”

So I meant it like Twitter, Lemmy. But me dumb

You are basing so much on a YouTube video.

Jeez this is a good reminder of how people get influenced by media.

…m…mayo?

Bananas.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m pro NATO in so much as it means “don’t fuck with us”. I just don’t see the need, Russia is paper mache with their cold war bench depth of gear and routines.

Perhaps one or two as a treat.

Jk but actually I think they wouldn’t, just to say they didn’t.

I don’t think NATO needs them

Agree. Interesting points.

Armchair speculation here, I do not think NATO would respond with nukes, but instead coordinated surgical strikes and special ops leadership decapitation.

Lol show me any example of some one using the n word then getting mad about the r word

Who cares? Like, none of this matters. Don’t put the fedivwrse on a pedestal

Nothing here is verified internally, and shouldn’t be. Centralization is antithetical to the decentralized nature of the fediverse.

Then return to the first clause.

Or, all accounts in the fedi are anonymous by nature, and if they need to be verified, they are verified on 3rd party sources.

Then it doesn’t matter.

No one should give a fuck if celebrities are here
