It's always gotta be "Marx didn't consider [thing discussed in the literal first chapter of Capital]" too. Like literally every single time without exception.

Even without seeing that my first guess was dead on: they think it's a vice, like just a little crime that special good boy rich white patriarchs can do as a treat, and are very, very invested in insisting that it's not disordered and it doesn't make them other and weird. Crimes against people they see as beneath them are just fun little treats that rich guys get to do as long as they don't piss off the wrong people, but having something wrong with them? The very notion of it is deeply offensive to their fragile little egos.

I'd say it's wild how reactionaries are so insistent on trying to draw a line between pedophilia (the predatory crime) and pedophilia (the disorder), but it really makes perfect sense: they revel in hurting others, they revel in having power over others and abusing that power, and they don't care about consent in the first place, but they will be absolutely livid if you suggest there's something wrong with them that makes them weird and bad.

There's also the extreme normalization of teenage girls as "acceptable" targets for adult men that all these fascists grew up immersed in, and which realistically has only started breaking down bit by bit in the past 20-30 years. To them preying on teenage girls is a socially acceptable vice like day drinking or doing rich guy drugs, because the world revolves around their own libertine treat lust and they perceive themselves as the sole arbiters of what is "normal", which makes them confused and angry when someone starts telling them that preying on their choice victims is not only bad but it makes them weird and other. It's one big mess of misogyny and libertine sociopathy and toxic masculine posturing/fragility.

There's like 0% chance the AI gets it right, it gets "close enough".

That's true for just throwing prompts at a black box and slapping "generate" like it's a slot machine, but in the same way that LLMs are good for like OCR, speech-to-text, or transforming existing blocks of text but terrible at generating things from whole cloth, image generating AI is fairly good at merging composites together or otherwise transforming an extant image. AI assisted rotoscoping like ebsynth (which uses provided keyframes alongside a video to rotoscope the rest of the frames) is also extremely impressive, more so than the dogshit full AI video generation I've seen.

Local, open source AI models are fascinating and potentially useful in the right hands in a way that proprietary corporate models running on remote servers are not. The problem is that the AI hobbyist community is like >90% irredeemable garbage ranging from fascists to pedophiles to grifters, along with a quite a few people who are just too cringe to be allowed.

It's the bunny cop post from the old sub.

Look you just pay the crabs in coconut futures to work in a gig economy rewriting AI prompts for fish until you've accumulated enough fishcoins to hire some dolphin contractors to acquire a boat for you with a loan using the assumption that your island's economy will continue this pattern of infinite exponential growth as collateral.

That's a different one riffing on the same idea. The island one is they trade a suitcase or coconut or whatever back and forth until they've raised the island's GDP enough that it produces a boat for them to leave with.

I use my knockoff Death Note that traps people in the cringe zone instead of killing them to trap everyone who does not upbear my posts in the cringe zone for one additional year.

This reminds me of how someone I used to know once literally pointed at diamonds to "disprove" the labor of value and is like "Marx never considered diamonds" and I'm just like at that exact paragraph.

President Crimes thinks he's being sneaky when he openly stuffs giant piles of money into his trademark gold-embroidered cartoon money sack with giant dollar signs on it on TV while bragging about how much money he's stealing, but what some people are calling "Stealy-Money-gate" will surely be the end! Here's what you, our loyal subscriber, need to know:

1. the courts have indeed said there's no law that says the president can't just do crimes whenever he wants

2. ah well, nevertheless.

3. ...

4. Chuck Schumer is quoted as saying "well look, nobody said the president isn't allowed to do crimes, but with your donation we can suggest someone do something civil in a nonbinding and respectful fashion, at some point, if we get around to talking about it over brunch someday."

I think the "Hitler was a Marxist" and "Marx was a Stalinist" bits of it at least were distilled from some chud's actual ramblings.

I think that specific version was someone here mocking someone who got posted in the dunk tank for saying at least part of it. The stilted phrasing and the way it includes its own refutation gives it away.
