trention

They were trying to make sure the country I live in (which has more than 1 significant "traditional" minority) does not partition along ethnic lines by instituting differentiated treatment on the basis of ethnicity.

But thanks for bringing your bullshit, unapplicable anglo concepts to the entire world. We really appreciate it every time.

I also support diversity statements when they are about the only type of diversity that matters - intellectual diversity.

Join me in making equal far-right representation on all campuses a reality.

(Only the 'join me' in the above is sarcasm)

Can you give me one example where such a society was allowed? Because I can give you plenty of examples where white ethnic activism was explicitly prohibited and people were kicked out of university for engaging in it.

Deliver or be proved the bullshit artist you are.

It's actually not consistent (and the example is compelled speech not restricting speech). But then again, I shouldn't be breaking what I said earlier about responding to sealioning.

I consider "restrictions of freedom of speech" justified only in the context of employment, during work hours, where said restriction directly influences your working output. If public school teachers want to teach woke pseudoscience on their own premises, during their off hours, using their own money, that's OK.

I have absolutely no problem with increasing policing in white neighborhoods. The risk to people who are not criminal lowlifes is not zero, but is negligible. And I place 0 weight on the lives and well-being of criminal lowlifes.

It seems to me that the real snowflakes are those who got out of their way to have the convention changed. But then again, I am just a slav who thankfully doesn't have to live in the shithole that is contemporary usa (or the valley).

It's not about shaming anyone since most of the people targeted don't give a crap about the opinions of the wokes and the woke-adjacent. Right now the target is to deprive them of employment. You can at the very least be honest about it.

Can an academic society in the USA today have an ideology explicitly presented as "the advancement and preservation of the white race"? No? Then your whole argument falls apart.

CRT and gender studies should not be part of the high school curriculum in public schools and should not receive any sort of government funding in universities because at best they are pseudoscience. Private institutions not receiving government funding should teach whatever they like, including white nationalism.

Discrimination based on race should either be allowed in all circumstances or disallowed in all circumstances. Affirmative action is discrimination based on race so it's hypocritical to have this as government policy while explicitly prohibiting discrimination against minorities.

Uneven enforcement calls for punishing those not enforced against, not letting guilty minorities walk.

Any further attempts of sealioning will be ignored.

When they do one or more of the following:

a) call/protest for firing people for said outside-of-work activities

b) protest/lobby for legislation changes restricting freedom of speech in any way

c) protest/lobby for any sort of affirmative action policies

d) protest/lobby against enforcing criminal laws because they disproportionally affect minorities (when said disproportionate effect is a result of minorities committing said crimes at higher rates)

Are they more destructive than woke activists? I very much doubt that.

Your employer has no business judging you for how you (non-criminally) behave outside your working time. Firing over any such non-criminal behavior should be punishable severely.

Pro-tip: being a "toxic toss-pot" should not be a reason for getting fired. People should not be fired for any non-criminal behavior outside of their workplace, even if it's racist.

Employers who fire people over non-criminal supposedly "racist" behavior should be sued and made to pay big bucks.

Not if you look at the period after 2015 only.

I am extremely glad I live in a country in continental Europe where this shit is unconstitutional and will be stricken down by the courts immediately (as will be any sort of preferential treatment of any minority in hiring or admissions). Hope it stays that way.

>Koch-funded propaganda

If you are not simultaneously against bezos-funded propaganda or zuck-funded propaganda (he still funds fwd.us whose main goal is to lower tech salaries by increasing immigration), you are a hypocrite.

Then I hope you described IDE autocomplete as "miraculous" as well. It's certainly saving me more time than copilot, that's for sure.

The first part couldn't and the second doesn't apply to the current (and I suspect any future) mechanism AI models use to generate...anything.

What's imbecilic is generalizing your own experience to others and their standards. I am yet to see current iteration copilot producing non-trivial code. But maybe "miraculous" for you means something else.

>It happened to art and I don’t see why devs think they’re immune.

Probably because it's a different problem domain that actually requires precision and the requirements often are unexpressable in natural language.

Also, it has not happened in art. You can say it has happened in art when 50% of currently salaried graphic artists are unemployed.

First, your prediction is analogous to something like "in 2 years, 50% of images used in {ad platform}/getty, will be AI-generated". Your prediction is actually "AI-generated without human editing". This is not true today and will not be true in 2 years from now even for images.

I am not a musician, have no musical (or any other art, actually) talent and have kept up (shallowly) with state-of-the-art music generation for a decade (because of idiocy kurzweil has spewed out).

I am "reacting strongly" because I detest singularitarians and everything they stand for. This board in particular has been a hotbed of delusion and idiocy for the last 6 months in every single AI thread I have read comments in.

I initially thought your prediction was "AI-generated, with mostly human vocals and some editing" - which has no way of occurring in 2 years even for new songs, let alone if you include the legacy catalog.

This insane interpretation will not only not occur in 2 years, it will not occur this decade. Singularitarian delusion runs higher than even I imagined.

Yes, I expected goal-post moving in line of "even if a single beat is AI-generated, the entire song counts for AI-generated".

Or, the more likely one, in this case, "the first draft of the beat was AI-generated, then human-edited and the vocals were by the singer but they were processed, so it's AI-generated". Typical singularitarian bullshit.

As I said, we will see in 2 years. I am confident that your prediction (which was not "widespread music generation" but quite specific - in a platform in which the majority of streaming is generated by a handful of artists) will be spectacularly wrong.

>EU wouldn’t ban homegrown technology.

EU would ban any technology that disrupts the labor market to an extent it leads to widespread protests among a segment of society. For how a somehow similar thing has played out in the last 40 years (instead of banning technologies, it has mostly been instituting quotas, paying subsidies and banning/taxing imports), you can look at its agricultural policy.

I specifically bookmarked this comment so I can start using it as an example of singulatarian/DL delusion in 2 years.

The good thing about this hitting the music industry is that lawsuits will follow very soon and the stealing of intellectual labor and property all those models are based on can probably end a bit sooner.

Are you somehow under the impression that, if a government decides to impose a fine that will financially kill the company once and for all, it is incapable of it?

Incidentally, Uber has been banned in the entire country where I live for 8+ years now.

EU can pretty much unilaterally cut access to the financial system of said companies, demonstrated this year to a number of russian entities. Meanwhile, given what Xi has done in the last couple of years, I would not be surprised if China moves against the model makers first.

EU courts fined google just this week. Way to prove exactly how uninformed you are. There has been no reason to ban meta or google in EU so far, but you can ask RT how good their operations are at the moment.

Spoiler alert: EU can fine and (if needed) seize assets of companies based outside of the EU.
