There’s a chance most of the historical bullshit and nonsense (I’m talking pre-bots) was 16 year olds and younger…

9·1 day agoSeems like an awkward conflict. If the generated material can’t be copyrighted and the characters are “licensed.”
Can I copyright my ai output if I put my own copy-written character or IP in the corner? Does a logo count? What about a dancing logo character?

I’m still up for watching new Contrapoints videos.

Voyager@lemmy.world•Did the Collapse comments behavior change?English
1·5 days agoI don’t think I see that happening on my end. Comments slide upwards as long as there are more comments below the comment that is collapsed.
Do you happen to be experiencing times where your tap targets appear to be misaligned vertically? That’s an issue that I have crop up randomly. And it seems like it might be similar in nature. Meaning I think there may be a systemic layout issue present that throws things off in different ways when the issue is triggered.

News@lemmy.world•Scientists Link Popular Sugar Substitute to Liver DiseaseEnglish
2·6 days agoI don’t care if it’s toxic or increases the human lifespan.
I was calling out people being shitty to each other. And by asking about what word would be more appropriate, I was trying to make a point that would illuminate how smugly stating “everything is a chemical” is shitty. It comes off as neckbeard bullshit. It’s exemplary of public forums being toxic.
And I’ll reiterate again, I’m not defending the toxicity of anything here. I was just looking for a way for the discourse on the subject to avoid jerks replying that they drink water, a chemical, every day.
This is also why I said I wasn’t talking to you. Because I wasn’t trying to make a point with you. I was engaging with the person I replied to. But here you are talking about the toxicity of a specific thing, instead of seeing my point.

News@lemmy.world•Scientists Link Popular Sugar Substitute to Liver DiseaseEnglish
2·6 days agoThat’s the thing, I’m not sure what “such things” are, but I know “chemicals” is a bad classification. I mean food ingredients that have been later shown to be toxic or harmful. Or that have developed a such a reputation, even if the evidence is mixed or misinterpreted.
Trans fats wouldn’t be called a “chemical” but we use to think they were pretty awesome. And after looking around, it seems like sulfites are banned in some food contexts. I’m not finding as many examples as I would have assumed, tho.
So what’s the word for things that have been found to be bad and thus removed from food and drink? Or that have not been yet removed in all parts of the world, but are considered risky.
I wasn’t debating toxicity. I wasn’t talking about if any one example is truly toxic or not. That was what I was trying to avoid. All I wanted was a better word. Because “EVERYTHING IS A CHEMICAL” is a shitty response, and it seemed to me that telling the person water is a chemical is unproductive, and just being a dick. What word is not inclusive of all matter?
