Yup. Learned it the hard way. My first account was with lemmy.ml and it got banned because of criticizing China. I consider myself leftist and the amount of censorship the tank triad do to ensure China numba wan is mind numbing.

Not even communists. I have had communists as friends during my grad and undergrad. Tank triad are a worser kind. They actively hinders any discussion against China. Tianenmen? Never happened. Mao’s genocide? western propaganda. Chinese imperialism in Tibet? China reclaiming its historical boundaries. Basically China and USSR can never do anything wrong. If they did, its western propaganda.

Also why cant they defederate from lemmy.ml? That should be technically possible as the code is open source and can be fetched easily to run an instance?

thank you!

Now please expose the powertripping reddit admins as well.

Okay I am gonna bite. What is the R slur?

The biggest toxicity comes from the tank triad. I have blocked them and now it is peaceful.

I think lemmy.ml and hexbear are run from China which might be why content criticizing China can get you banned there.

I would like to take a crack at this. There is this recent trend going around with ghiblifying one’s picture. Its basically converting a picture into ghibli image. If you had trained it on free sources, this is not possible.

Internally an LLM works by having networks which activate based on certain signals. When you ask it a certain question. It creates a network of similar looking words and then gives it back to you. When u convert an image, you are doing something similar. You cannot form these networks and the threshold at which they activate without seeing copyrighted images from studio ghibli. There is no way in hell or heaven for that to happen.

OpenAI trained their models on pirated things just like meta did. So when an AI produces an image in style of something, it should attribute the person from which it actually took it. Thats not whats happening. Instead it just makes more money for the thief.

This is something every company which tries to operate in China have to do. It’s not a surprise. China is a fascist country which requires organizations operating in China to claim Taiwan belongs to China, Tibet is part of China and Uygurs are not getting genocided. Hell even american govt. can be prosecuted because they abided by the same rules that China set.

She is American Chinese. It’s difficult to date in California and not go for Chinese women if you are working in tech. Palo Alto is majorly Chinese. Indians are the other major ethnic group but they don’t usually date outside. My point is him being married to Chinese is not indicative of his preference for China over USA.

Yes

Battle of a fascist country and a proto fascist country. The roaring 1935 is here.
