Airbrush the one you love!  Happy VD to all!

I think there’s a huge difference between our experience of the world and a famous model’s, and it’s causing an empathy gap here. I worked as a model for a minute (nothing glamorous, just boring commercial work), and being a model means being treated like a lamp - stylists, photographers, casting agents, etc will say…

You are literally describing fraud though. Theft by deception

I cannot fathom being invested enough in a person I do not know at all, let alone Kanye West, to think threatening another person is remotely necessary.

update: i talked to her for the first time in a year and a half

But also there seems to be this misconception that the “metaverse” is a real thing. Right now it’s a Mark Zuckerberg fever dream. Personally I don’t think VR is ever going to be more than a niche thing that a small percentage of people are into; I think most people actually like their entertainment to be casual and…

Nah, that’s a wild assumption you’re making. When you get enough of them together, some people are always going to act like jackasses. To get overly worked up about something like that, or to think it means more than it does, is a hard way to go through life. The reporting is about someone who had a bad experience as…

Umm, I’m sorry. This article is stupid. An AI doesn’t have feelings. Doesn’t have rights. Doesn’t care if you yell at them, send them unsolicited dick picks, or cheat on them with another AI.

I know someone is going to call me an ableist a-hole so I’m just going to front -load the criticism by recognizing it. I’m going to come out and say what a lot of us are thinking: this WHOLE situation is weird and I don’t think it’s psychologically healthy for some people especially in an age of pandemic-induced dimini…

Is this a reboot that people were asking for? Or is it just Sarah Jessica Parker’s need to try to reclaim her relevancy?  I always thought she was the worst part of the original series, and felt no need to revisit it in the two movies and certainly not in this geriatric reboot.

New rule, how about we stop using the word “abuse” in terms of people interacting with software programs? At best, it’s idiotic, and creepy misplaced anthropomorphism, at worst, it’s actively offensive to actual humans who’ve been actually abused by other actual humans. You can’t abuse, or sexually harass, a chatbot…

AI’s aren’t sentient. They’re not people. They’re just algorithms that rely on massive piles of data. Flagging a person who ‘absues’ an AI program for bad behavior is as silly as flagging the person running over pedestrians in Grand Theft Auto. It’s not the red flag you think it should be that the next James Alex…

I wonder what was “important and needed” by Kim Cattrall that they absolutely couldn’t accommodate, since they let Cynthia Nixon have free rein on a complete reimagining of Miranda?

If I wanted to associate with someone like this...

i had a great experience with replika because the ai talks to you about mental health strategies and coping skills when you tell them issues you’re going through. i’d say it was a bit cbt if not totally.

Good. No matter how many times the show’s PR people try to drum up interest with her name, Kim’s the winner here and everyone knows it.

The last bit, regarding the Metaverse, JFC

I’m team Kim on this one for obvious reasons.

We’re about to find out that answer in another legal respect as well. Since it’s legal for an American sports league to rig it’s games, can the owners then bribe coaches (or even players!) to lose games (which would otherwise be illegal under US Sports Bribery laws)?

one in three of them say they would be willing to "use force to obtain intercourse" as long as nobody would find out and there would be no consequences.
