Republicans wouldn’t exist if no one voted for them.

I am right there with you. I’m not super big on blaming individuals for stuff like this. I saw an old Tacoma parked next to one of these monsters the other day and I was like, holy smokes, the size is just out of control.

Why would they be acting? It’s probably not a first amendment test.

If I had to guess, I’d say LLMs are about 20 years away from creating viable programs that are slightly more complex than hello world.

What actually happened, apparently. Fire them to avoid payout.

That is mind blowing to me. I wouldn’t even think of it for anything meaningful.

I pay for nitro because I love discord and love supporting it. I will cancel if they go through with this nonsense.

Wait, what are people using it for? I use discord for shooting the shit with people about video games and politics.

FLOSS makes more sense than FOSS anyway.

My guess is because of this: https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/22/voice-ai-engine-and-openai-partner-livekit-hits-1b-valuation/

Here’s an article on LiveKit if anyone else is interested.

There was no implication that this was a general poll designed to demonstrate the general public’s attitudes. I’m not sure why you mentioned this.

Are they really able to replicate pornography like that? I know that for normal stuff, the videos are only under ten seconds or so.

Let’s also remember that AI has many different meanings. It depends on what technology they’re using. AI is just literally a type of computer program that can be used for a variety of things.

Not banning good people, banning wrong people.

I was hoping you’d play along :’(

Cool

I have been doing IT since 1867 and I’ve never run into an issue.

Banning ideas and opinions is not banning fascism. But let’s start over. First, they banned me. All I did was say that banning people for having the opinion “Israel should exist as an entity” is authoritarian. I wasn’t even defending Israel, which, like I said, people should be allowed to do as part of normal freedom of speech.

Second, I didn’t even say anything extreme, like “you should be hanged for treason!” or some such nonsense. I said “you have the right to ban people for whatever you want since it’s your instance, but I think that’s fascist if you do so.” And they banned me. Do you think that’s even remotely normal behavior?

Banning people for their behavior and conduct is perfectly reasonable. Also, if some Israel defender comes in and says “I don’t care how many children need to be killed, it’s worth it,” then I think you have every right to ban them. Advocating murder is crazy shit. But simply saying “Israel has a right to exist” or something similar as being ban worthy? That’s absolute ghoulish authoritarianism. There’s no such thing as “banning fascism” because this is just a discussion forum.

Fascists. Authoritarians. Whatever you want to call them. I’ll explain. They submitted a proposal to ban all “Zionists or Zionist apologists” and I objected on the grounds that it is, objectively, the very fascism they were denouncing. They banned me simply for suggesting this. That’s what I’m talking about.
