- rc_mob 3y agoi gave up on that place when 4chan started to worship authoritarian trump
- hasty_pudding 3y agoI gave up on politics in general. Now I find it strange that people care so strongly about things they have such little control over. lol People on 4chan are motivated by doing things for the lulz more than any ideology..and you have to admit Trump presidency would provide the most lulz.
- netsharc 3y agoI have a feeling the OG 4chan-ners were doing it for the "lulz", but when it became well-known as a "site where the users supports Trump", all the bleeding-heart Trump supporters (including the actually deplorable e.g. the white supremacists) actually started frequenting the site... I wonder how most of the media's inability to see jokes as what they are contributed to their misreporting...
- f38zf5vdt 3y agoThe DALLE3 stuff on 4chan is 10000% worse than nudes. One of my friends showed me a picture of TS putting jews in ovens in a concentration camp. Microsoft is the one spouting out about the need for "generative image AI safety", meanwhile they have to be the worst offender given some of the stuff I've seen out of Bing.

- twoWhlsGud 3y agoFigure out how to stop the social media robots from monetizing the destruction of civil society and you might be able to keep something resembling free speech. Otherwise, the future looks like China or Russia (massive kleptostates using the robots to keep control instead). It's not clear there's a way for democracies to survive the disappearance of the peaceful maintenance of reality.
- 0cVlTeIATBs 3y agoIf by "monetizing the destruction of civil society" you mean making money from posting celebrity nudes on the internet maybe you'll be glad to learn the people doing it are doing it for free.
- latency-guy2 3y agoCiting China or Russia as the end of civilization as we know it has to be equivalent to Godwin's law in some way
- bsder 3y agoGodwin's Law never accounted for the fact that we would need to deal with actual Nazis ever again. Even Godwin, himself, acknowledges that if the comparison fits, it's perfectly fine.
- latency-guy2 3y ago> Godwin's Law never accounted for the fact that we would need to deal with actual Nazis ever again. Not really, that's your personal awareness of white supremacists and "Nazi" adjacent groups coming into play. They haven't really been hiding at all, membership has maintained hundreds to thousands for decades in the officially recognized organizations. Godwin was also not ignorant of these groups. There is simply no need to be hyperbolic about things. > Even Godwin, himself, acknowledges that if the comparison fits, it's perfectly fine. OK.
- hasty_pudding 3y agoit's like torrents though, how are you going to stop it?
