Section 230 of the dmca is designed to allow platforms to exist because people can say whatever the fuck they want. But nobody should make a machine that says things they can’t control, and if you do you need to be disciplined for such irresponsibility.

Name checks out.

If implemented, that would just ban chatbots that use large language models. It’s not a terrible idea.

What would actually happen is that so-called AI chatbot systems would try to detect if someone is from New York and then try to exclude them from receiving medical or legal advice, fail, and then get sued and then pay a small fine, over and over again forever.

That’s not quite it.

I’m not saying why one goes vegan, but rather what it means when people say they are vegan.

Absent other modifiers, it’s about diet.

I didn’t think the next-token guess machine would guess “delete my database”!

If only said chickens weren’t scratching up everyone else’s lawns too.

Veganism is, to the degree possible, the avoidance of the utilization/exploitaion of animals.

A vegan diet is a diet that follows this principle.

A vegan lifestyle is a lifestyle that follows this principle.

A vegan philosophy is a philosophy that supports this principle.

This isn’t that complicated.

Still can’t tell if comedy is legal again or not. Someone make a flowchart.

I would say Alice follows a vegan diet, and would wonder why she thinks it’s fun to kill animals, since wven moat carnists don’t do that.

I think vegan groups should speak to the full diversity of motivations for adopting veganism, whether in diet, lifestyle, or philosophy. It’s foolish to exclude people who do what you think is right but for different reasons. Unless you’re a religion I guess, and I’m not interested in that.

Joke’s on you, I get to see both.

Plant-based is insufficient to describe a vegan diet. While it is often used as a less contentious term for vegan (many people still avoid the term vegan because of the reputations of vegans), it can also just mean, well, a diet with a lot of vegetables.

It’s fine to draw a distinction between a vegan lifestyle and a vegan diet. But there is no better term to describe a diet that excludes all animal products than the word “vegan”.

It’s nonsensical also to say that a person can go back to animal exploitation when they find an environmental reason to do so, as if this somehow justifies the use of a different term for the same diet. There is no shortage of people who started “vegan for the animals” only to drop it for this or that reason. Likewise it’s also true that there are very few animal products that are comparable in environmental impact to vegan foods.

Ultimately I don’t care if The Vegan Society thanks a person practicing a vegan diet for the wrong reasons isn’t really vegan, because even though it they coined the term, it’s far past their control. Maybe they can take back Pythagorean or something.

Idk man, Lemmy is defacto a pretty lefty space, so I think it’s just a lazy way to tell someone to fuck off. I wouldn’t worry about it too much, because while I find it unproductive it’s just words on the Internet at the end of the day.

But if you feel there needs to be a corner of Lemmy where that’s not tolerated you can always try building it yourself. I honestly think that could be a good thing.

Maybe we should figure out what is so awful about social media that we think children shouldn’t be subjected to it, and ask if it’s any less bad for adults. Idk

Adds a dash of transgression to an otherwise vanilla scene I guess.

Congratulations on your journey. It’s not always easy in this society, but it’s the right thing to do.

No, it’s a term for consumption choice.

A vegan who does it for environmental reasons is more vegan than someone who is philosophically opposed to animal exploitation but still eats cheese.

It looks like the code is mostly under GPL. Has anyone tried forking it?

Um, yay? 🤢

It’s pretty galling watching the US government retaliate against a company for not wanting to create Terminators or that surveillance thing from The Dark Knight for them.

It’s blatantly retaliatory and a violation of the spirit of the law that allows that designation, and if the law is written well and the courts are honest then it would be illegal too. You shouldn’t be able to lie and call a company an enemy of the state because they won’t build you a Torment Nexus.

And I don’t even want AI being used for half the things they already do.

I’d say spread it around to support projects you use or like.
