It uses figurative language instead of the literal meaning of words so it’s complete nonsense.

Those words are already lost.

“Heaven” originally meant “the visible sky” so this is fine.

This guy is trying to mop up the beach every time the tide comes in.

Heaven forbid someone use a colloquialism! How will they ever be understood?

(For the sake of clarity I feel I must point out that I do not believe Heaven should, in fact, forbid such a practice. I fear without this clarification my first sentence is impossible to understand.)

Or if musicians started playing random accidentals in their Bach performances, because they don’t feel it’s important to alter keys at their whim?

That would be the equivalent of a writer inserting bacon random words.

The musical equivalent would be a musician making a deliberate choice to alter the performance because they like how it changes the piece. I would be perfectly fine with that.

A writer once put the letter ‘s’ in ‘eiland’ in order to make the word look more Latin. This, despite the fact that the word ‘island’ has no Latin roots. It caught on and now that is the proper spelling of ‘island’ and you’d be a fool to try to force people to spell it ‘eiland’.

English is used by the unwashed masses and trying to get it to adhear to strict rules or not change will be as effective as trying to stop a flood by holding out your hand.

English was not exactly right when you were born with the spelling of ‘island’ and was wrong hundreds of years ago with ‘eiland’, nor is it wrong that dumb means stupid instead of mute, or literally can be used to mean figuratively.

Sir, these is a meme about Rudolph.

Yeah, let’s criticize others for being in echo chambers

Where was that happening? Did I miss something in this thread?

People spend time in communities that share similar ideals and beliefs?! The devil you say!

AI is just mimicking Its training data. If the training data teaches it something is wrong, that is something it has “learned” from humans. If its training data is racist, it will be racist.

There have been issues in the past with software recommending harsher penalties or stronger surveillance on minorities because the training data used was from people who gave harsher penalties and stronger surveillance to minorities.

I bring this up because the statement “Even AI knows when something is wrong” implies that these racist models are okay because the AI doesn’t think it’s wrong.

Man, don’t you just hate when Evangelicals need to make every conversation about religion?

Windows users want a menu button in the lower left corner and shit to work after a short installer. How the fuck do you keep messing that up?

Capitalists are literally Mt Krabbs:

“Squidward! New rule! All customers must fill in this survey about the details of their day before they order!” Drops a giant stack of papers on the counter

Squidward sighs “Why are we doing this?”

“Because then I can sell their information for more MONEY! Hyukukukukuk!”

Next the came for the white, blonde, citizens.

And people continued to do nothing.

The article from July explains why Steam banned this game last month, despite Itch (which stopped selling certain games due to the payment processors) is selling it?

Who is this article writer that can see 4 months into the future?!

You claimed Steam banned this because of the payment processors. The same payment processors being used by stores that didn’t ban this. Seems a relevant point to the discussion we are having.

Do the other stores hosting the game have the same payment processors?

Steam hasn’t banned adult games. That is proven with a quick search of Steam’s catalog.

the slippery slope starts somewhere.

You know slippery slope is a fallacy right? The “slippery slope” can also stop anywhere.

When did I (or anyone else) exert pressure on Steam to not carry this? My understanding is this is a decision Steam made.
