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

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

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

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 pseudoscie

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 ab

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 gover

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

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

by trention 4y ago
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

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). H

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.

by trention 4y ago
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.

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

by trention 4y ago
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 interpretati

by trention 4y ago
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-ed

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 b

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+

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 m

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.
