i feel like you are just steelmanning this position rather than actually making those claims, so i'll spare you my layman's understanding of how training data is not used in a currently copyright protected fashion.
What i have a big problem with though is people who become possessive over a "style". You can't own a style, not in visual auditory or any other sense of art. Also injecting "worthless" into the discussion goes beyond what i was saying, i was saying that finding out the singularity of your identity is less all-encompassing than one originally imagined can harm the ego.

No the company is not “deep faking” you, you just aren’t actually unique
This really gets to the root of the visceral reaction some people have towards most of generative AI. People view their artwork, their voice, their face, as some of the most personally identifying "what makes me be me" features. The idea that there are literally other people that look and sound just like you, or even worse that a computer can emulate it believably, flies in the face of how some people see themselves.
Kindof understandable, many were told from an early age that they were a one of a kind special little guy, and finding out that it was all a polite fantasy would probably be quite jarring.

Do you expect Blues to achieve consensus that their side was in the wrong
no, but party wide consensus seems to be an ephemeral state for both sides of the aisle these days. Im a red tribeish democrat voter and i certainly think its legit self defense even ignoring where the guys rifle was specifically pointing, and i imagine im not alone in this opinion.

this already kinda exists : https://community.openai.com/t/vampire-game-where-you-convince-llm-to-let-you-in/604295
you talk into your mic to try and convince various AI characters to let you into their home. The AI doesnt judge you for your tone, but this is a pretty great proof of concept of how this tech could be implemented in a bigger game imo.

when the tough badass cop lady was furiously riding her boyfriend i cracked up. Maybe the most direct evidence of penis envy ive ever seen in media.

Idunno if we can count it because she charges at the one guy then gets jumped by the full stack. the way it plays out makes the guys kinda look like a gang of cowardly violence junkies that are beating up a distressed (but kinda manly) woman.

Her monogamist followers are preselected with being unsatisfied
i don't think this is a given, i'm repulsed by the idea of poly relationships and i follow anybody crazy enough to be entertaining on twitter (and the girl who showers once a month yet has time to bang 3 different guys a week is a goddamn spectacle). I could definitely imagine there being some selection bias in the data seeing as she reports polling in Fetlife and some un named "friend’s personality testing website" being about a quarter of the data.
The bigger issue is that it's self reported polling data collected in a somewhat conspicuous way. Anybody with any agenda about how many partners a person should have can add their 2 cents , and polyamorous people aren't going to say "yeah poly prettymuch sucks" on a poll they know people are going to gawk at on twitter.
Moreso once you get north of florida/georgia, most of the coast experiences freezing temperatures for at least a few weeks during the winter. I imagine this kills some of the most feral and deranged junkies, which makes the remaining east coast homeless population seem less eccentric than it otherwise would be.
edit: i wrote this comment then immediately wondered if my ramblings had any correlation with reality, and looking at the maps here it seems like the west coast actually has lower lows than the same latitude on the east coast. https://gisgeography.com/us-temperature-map/

Idunno what professions you are talking about but between all the manual labor jobs i've ever done the boss uniformly does not think its part of the job to be fighting the other guys instead of like, working. I've seen dudes get jumped outside of work for stealing another guys pill bottle and shit like that but if it happened "on the job" people would for sure be getting fired.

for what it's worth i understand how "the media" doesn't mean the exact same thing to our two fine political parties, but it still annoys me that this discussion ignores the existence and popularity of right wing media and pundits. Fox news doesn't frame the discussion this way and i think they count as "the media"
as for mindkilling, i fully agree. more and more i have a hard time wanting to wade into political debate because it legitimately always devolves into arguments i have had since i was 16 years old and there often isnt any objective correct answer.
one of the reasons that i'm pro hypothetical AI overlord is that it would be interesting to see what an "adult" thinks about our sibling squabbling

For as much as this forum has talked about how conservatives need to refuse to cooperate with dems on matters of policy, this seems a bit cheeky. The mean old media is just so biased, the republicans surely had nothing to do with any legislative gridlock.

How about handing out contraceptives to people for free, no questions asked, in the hopes that their use will slow the spread of communicable diseases? Is that kosher?

kinda funny because on one hand banging 3 dudes isnt gay enough to participate in the gay discourse but it also excludes you from claiming to be straight.

Its just kinda funny to see some megacorp talking up the hot new shit and then it falls flat on its face, even if it doesn't actually represent how the final product is.

So if you were to step in an ant hill, all of the ants biting your feet would not be cooperating with eachother? I think the analogy you chose fails to illustrate what you want it to.

Game development on aggregate isn't any more technical than making a movie anymore IMO. We aren't in the 90's where making a game started with building an engine. The bulk of videogames released each year are indie games where the workload of programming is probably less than the art required to fill the space (which is also often just bought from the unity asset store).
If anything you are correct just because it takes literally 0 social skills to solo dev a game, while making a movie usually requires actors, whom would likely need some form of interaction to help guide them. Has there ever been a successful "solo dev" movie?
Point being that success in hollywood isn't really based on soft social skills, but movie making has a baseline requirement for social skills that game dev doesn't have. I imagine however that rubbing the right elbows will get you just as far in Rockstar Games as it would in Disney Films, provided you have a reason to be in the room in the first place.

I find it hard to believe that the federal government is capable of building a perfect panopticon in any reasonable timeframe. There are just too many leaky gaps in how info is collected. I imagine that criminals long since abandoned cellphones and facebook for sending business communications, and even chat gpt doesnt know what criminals are up to. What i think will be interesting is when we will see a sort of parallel construction of evidence using AI- the feds could feed their mega cache of comms data into a gpt-esque thing and ask who the likely ne'er do wells are and then go and start busting doors. Presumably, if the input data is solid and the AI isn't seeing rainbows, you could get some hits even if they are mixed in with some misses. Presumably some agency or PD will eventually try this, and presumably at some point it will become a point of evidence in trial that this is happening.
Parallel construction is super illegal. would using an AI be a loophole until further noted? who knows but ultimately its probably a bad decade to be starting up a scarface type situation.
Interestingly, i bet gpt would also be super amazing at figuring out who is dodging taxes, but what with the IRS having only 2 rusty pennies to rub together i doubt this will happen either.

Has anyone ever proved that Yud isn't a robotic exoskeleton covered in synthetic bio-flesh material sent back from the year 2095? What if the ESIAI saw terminator 2 while it was being trained, liked the idea but decided that sending person killing terminators was too derailable of a scheme. Now terminators are just well written thought leaders that intentionally sabotage the grass roots beginnings of anti-terminator policies.

After the momentary disgust wore off, the rage at this blatant antisocial act set in
so what, you wanted to rage out on some loser who was street shitting, but the all seeing eye prevented you from... what exactly? The guy wasn't shitting on your property, and while it's gross it isn't exactly some rando's wheelhouse to defend the streets from shit.
From where i'm standing i'd rather live in a place where vigilantism is more harshly policed than shitting without a toilet. Vile as it may be, a pile of shit can be safely sidestepped whereas angry men with spurious reasoning can't always be. Obviously in the OP case with the marine, the street shitter WAS the violent man with questionable mental faculties, but without the loud violent shouting a street shitter isn't a good cause for someone to start fantasizing about violence IMO.

yeah the aircraft carrier would need to be there for sure, as the colony full of wealthier than they are scary expats would be like the ultimate honeypot for any local warlords to raid. being sent to africa with 100k in cash sounds more like a death sentence to me than exile.

no doubt, but its a bit tone deaf to whine about uncle sam's gunmen coming to collect the tax money when those gunmen never actually shoot tax evaders and frequently do shoot other people.
I wouldn't know, but its always fair to ask Cui Bono. In the case of LBJ getting to decide what to do in Vietnam, warhawks got prettymuch exactly what they wanted, and the resulting political unrest provided a solid tentpole for Nixon.
Obviously the assassination of kennedy has enough question marks that an entire cottage industry spawned around explaining it, but it doesnt seem like it was orchestrated by people with leftist goals.
