Doesn't every website / forum do that? If not they'd be flooded with spam.
I agree with the sentiment, but I'm coming around to believing that this would be a tricky law to write. I thought the easy fix would be to have the protections only apply to smaller fora, but then H.L. Mencken rose from the dead and slapped my around with the printed out text of the EU's Digital Services Act.

So, I think I did overestimate my progress on the story board last week a bit (let's say it was 30% instead of 50%), but I managed to make up the difference, and the whole thing is done now, +/- details I keep picking at every once in a while. With that out of the way, I'll be back to finishing the grenade launcher in the game proper.
@Southkraut is on vacation, but I'm pinging for tradition's sake.

This is pretty much all I'm asking it to do. "Here's the contents of a paragraph or two. Turn them into a draft that I will edit and rewrite into final text."
That's more than a line...
Have you tried doing that a couple times manually to see if it returns what you want, and can work with?
I think Youcis' Will Stancil Show is actually a good reference for you here, even if it's a different medium. I can imagine method working, but the end result might be a bit uncanny valley.

One such developmental milestone many miss out on is the comprehension that multiple claims can be true at once. It can be true that Arday was a plagarist and compulsive liar who represents the worst failures of academia and DEI policies and that the number of articles and focus on him was pretty excessive.
It seems like what you are missing is that disagreement is not lack of comprehension. It certainly can be the case that the amount of articles written on him was excessive, that doesn't mean that it was.
As one tweet pointed out, it's quite blackpilling to consider the difference in both amount and style that The Spectator covered with Arday vs Epstein and his associates.
Why is it blackpilling? We had a teenager smiling the wrong way become an international scandal. An actual fraud in one of the world's top universities being exposed having such coverage seems like a nothingburger.

What you're asking for might exist, for example Emily Youcis has been hyping up the "Slop Canon" which is some sort of specialized tool for making music videos that I couldn't find a direct link to), and all the various coding tools are basically that, but for code, but I've never heard anyone mention anything like that.
Barring some sort of magical orchestration tool, I think this is the completely wrong way of going about this. Like mentioned in the previous Tinker thread, I've been working on the story board for my game's intro. Most of the AI usage was images, but I also decided to solicit feedback from AI (various models). I agree with @Skulldrinker, it sucks as an editor. It's ideas suck, it's criticisms are better, but very hit or miss, and in the event it's a hit, the proposed fix sucks. I still found it useful, but I'd rate it's effectiveness as slightly higher than the Rubber Duck method.
The workflow I'd recommend is:
- write the thing yourself, no matter how cringe.
- if you're really insecure, ask AI for a rewrite, and pick and choose the parts you like
- ask it for criticism, and fix only only the things you think it has a point on
- if you're stuck, ask it for alternatives, but try to narrow the problem down as much as possible. It's capable of coming up with decent lines, but I wouldn't trust it with anything bigger than that.

Tragedy?
Yup. Why do you think we try to leave the North Sentinelese alone? We could educate them and bring them into modernity whether they like it or not. I thought the whole point is that doing so would result in exactly the kind of tragedy I talked about.
I have it on good authority that the disappearance of certain "particular expressions of traits" would be quite desirable indeed.
Why do you consider Mr. Sloot an authority?
C'mon, acceptance of HBD is basically consensus here.
Ok, and? If your point is "and therefore, doesn't that mean you should consider Hitler as worse than Stalin, as per your own argument", the short answer to that is "yes". You can see me hinting at that when I was talking about the tragedy that would result from an entire group of people going extinct. But that's not the end of the conversation, and before I go on with step 2, I want to make sure we agree on step 1. You yourself are kind of a good example for why this is necessary, as you seem to want to have it both ways "Hitler is worse than Stalin" AND "HBD bad", which is icoherent.
What isn't, and what I aim to inculcate, is acceptance of its full implications.
I think that's what kids call a "self report".
If you object to the contents of any of my above links, can you explain why?
Because I believe in the universal dignity of mankind, and because, unlike progressives, I don't believe lower intelligence makes one morally inferior?
If you do not, do you then object to @Chi_Wara's sentiment here? If so, what is he to do instead?
For a start he could stop throwing slurs at people, and borderline threatening to kill them.
I'm not sure what the 'two weeks' refers to.
Germany setting it's limit to 12 weeks. My point is that No matter the way you look at it, the US is the weird one because of the people who are permissive on abortion, not because of the people who are restrictive on it.

Will not the new rulers find that it would be much cheaper than eternal welfare, and much cleaner than massacres
It's a "fun" rabbit hole to get into. Though your "cheaper than welfare theory" suffers a bit if you look into who euthanasia is targeted at in marketing materials.

Two weeks makes such a big difference to you, that if you don't get it, you will demand abortion until the moment of birth?

Any specific links / names / titles? I keep hearing this and find it mildly fascinating, but I never bothered looking for actual materials on it.

Again, in the non-Canadian case you have to voice the wish repeatedly, a month apart.
First, I find the sudden switch to non-Canada to be a bit out of left field, wasn't the OP about Canada specifically? Why should we suddenly debate Belgium? Researching what's going on there is a fair bit more difficult given that they are non-English speaking countries.
Secondly, on paper this is also the case in Canada. In practice, they already took out someone who changed their mind and requested hospice care.
Stops a single doctor from sending of people on his own, which is better than the alternative.
This is only the case if the institution considers euthanasia as something to be avoided, if they think it's all fine, they'll be waving people through with bureaucratic indifference. Euthanasia is not an isolated case here, pro-trans people were insisting for years that there's rigorous diagnostic process, where there simply wasn't.

I just wish people were more open about it. What keeps happening instead is that people construct these elaborate arguments about how strict and rigorous a practice is, implying that their opinion would change if it turned out that it isn't, it turns out it isn't, and then they shrug citing a difference in values, while mocking you for being worried about slippery slopes.

Damn, I knew the Internet is full bots, but I wasn't suspecting you of being one, let alone that you're Liberty Prime.
Both have stringent rules (terminal, suffering with no chance of improvement
False, Canada's track 2 euthanasia is applicable to non-terminal cases, and next year it will be extended to purely mental health cases, unless it's delayed again (it was originally planned for 2024, but was delayed to 2027).
voluntary and well considered
Words on paper, there's no evidence that it's either, and the medical profession in general doesn't have a lot of credibility in this topic.

What is supposed to be the relevance of this?

Both Finland and Poland invaded the Soviet Union
What are you referring to, specifically?
I think "popping filter bubbles" is a misnorner. There is no filter, be it imposed or organic. No new information you reveal will make people go "oh my god, I had no idea, that's horrible!". People look at this and think it's fine, actually.
As for vocabulary, I have plenty, I'm just a bit burnt out seeing it all shrugged off by interlocutors having completely different values.
Whoa. I didn't see that one coming. What's your workflow there?
A combination of modest ambitions, and AI slop. I'm planning to tell the whole story with handful of stills, and some spoken dialogue. The workflow is:
- generate a sketch
- throw it into PowerPoint (most of the dedicated storyboard software was either overkill, or expected me to be able to draw, rather than import a ready image)
- write dialogue
The middle section of the story is 90% reusing the same sketch (there will be some animated details, but here I'm just describing them, rather than showing them explicitly). Most of the variation / actual work is in the beginning, to establish the scene, and will be at the tail end of it, with a little montage of the protagonist preparing for the alien invasion.
It's also possible that I'm overestimating my progress, let's see.

Didn't do much in terms of code, but for a change of pace I started working on a story board for the game's intro. I think I'm about 50% done.
How have you been doing @Southkraut?

Don't you kind of have to be racist for this to make sense? I can see the tragedy in an entire group of people going extinct, but only if there are inherent differences between groups, and losing one one of the groups means forever losing their particular expression of traits.
Otherwise "kill anyone who disagrees" doesn't feel all that different from "kill anyone who looks different than me", particularly when the demand to not disagree includes conversations about agricultural reform that have caused mass starvation.
Communist murders of Kulaks were an attempt to purify their society from within
They believed in a global revolution. To the point that I had commies tell me you can't say real communism has been tried until there's still capitalism in any part of the world.

FreeTube is, IME, back to being completely useless now.
Please have the bare minimum of patience. Thrse things are usually sorted out after a few days / a week or so.
I think "baseline dignity and respect" is the level of respect you afford to people barring aggreviating or alleviating factors like mass rapes / achievements.
And even then when talking about criminal cases, we tend to believe in some "respect floor". Even death penalty enjoyers would balk at torturing criminals for entertainment, for exame.
