It's not even a widespread societal expectation. It's something this sexist troll pulled out of his ass because he was mad someone suggested doing yoga as exercise at home. Which he thinks is "women's privilege" whatever the fuck that means.

I prefer to just go for hikes outside. You get good exercise and fresh air. I do have an elliptical at home though which I use when the weather isn't good enough to go hiking.

They're trying to imply or insinuate that men can't do yoga, and saying that suggesting people do yoga is "women's privilege" or some bullshit like that. I'm certain DragonTypeWyvern is a troll with nothing better to do than start trouble.

Sheesh talk about women’s privilege
“Just do some yoga or something lmao”

I don't know how you can think this isn't sexist garbage, but just the phrase "women's privilege" is a red flag on it's own. The implication that only women do yoga is insanely dumb and wrong.

This whole comment and every reply below it was insanely hostile and unnecessary.

[Article] Why AI Is Hated: A cultural phenomenon based on personal opinion

Mystic Mushroom [Ze/Zir] @lemmy.dbzer0.com 2w ago

You make a lot of good points about how AI technology is misused by capitalists, and many criticisms of it are legitimate. And I don't meant to disparage those at all. They are worth discussing. This is an anarchist space so challenges and evils associated with capitalism are more than welcome. Though it needs to be approached from a nuanced and factual perspective, and criticism applied where applicable. Also personal attacks towards others aren't valid criticism.

I hear what you said. People feel strongly about that, I won't deny that. They see capitalists abusing AI and maybe even AI itself as ghoulish. The thing is that, when people attack and harass others, use ableist slurs. Make threats of a violent or sexual nature over AI use, they become the ghouls. The abuse I've endured and witnessed is ghoulish. Which is the reason I wrote this. In a lot of discourse people allow their strong feelings to override logic, and they lash out at others. Which ultimately overshadows the valid criticisms.

[Article] Why AI Is Hated: A cultural phenomenon based on personal opinion

I don't like AI for writing except for situations like creating generic responses for people I don't want to talk to. I don't think AI stories are that interesting but I don't think reading is that interesting. What I read are practical stuff mostly. Recipe books, gardening books. Books on herbal medicine. I wouldn't trust AI models to summarize or get stuff like this right. Also summarizing this kind of stuff isn't great because the devil is in the details.

I've never written code of any kind with AI or otherwise. I have no doubts that it will be full of bugs and if someone doesn't know what they're doing or and don't care to learn they shouldn't write code period.

GenAI art is trash because LLMs don’t have an ontology. They aren’t drawing things, they’re generating statistical translations of tokens into pixels. You will never fix visual glitching because it just doesn’t work the same way as a human does. They’re not compatible models. Now, there are some use cases where that doesn’t matter. I think it could be fun, as long as you’re not using a corporate model.

I have a somewhat uncommon perspective when it comes to this one. I agree. I don't think that AI art is a replacement for humans. I wouldn't say that AI is a replacement for human artists, and I don't think anyone but the most hardcore Altman shills are saying that. However I do think that (with non-corporate models like you said) AI can be its own form of art. And one thing in AI art that I don't think is taken advantage of is the noise, the glitches. As part of art. It's great that they aim to improve the quality of art produced by AI sure, but I think that the noisy, generated aspects of it can be used as a form of art in and of itself. Ultimately that's just for fun, and when I share stuff like this it's not meant to be compared to art by real people.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent.

Please tell me you aren't using a carbon footprint argument, you know. The ones Oil companies use to blame us, a population of people for climate change, instead of take action against them, and their corporate buddies. Who are a single large contributor, if not the entire problem in and of itself.

Even though we're probably very different in our beliefs I would agree that I don't want things using GPU without my consent. But I don't agree in justifying it or hatred of AI with carbon footprint rhetoric created by the companies who created this problem in the first place.

I know, he did it to me too. He's angry that I called him a Zionist. Which I will continue to do so because it's true. He sticks up for Samskara, a known Hasbara troll.

He's also bullying our admins for banning people that deserve to be banned, literally sticking up for Samskara. Which makes it even more ironic that he's upset I called him (and Skavau) Zionists when he's sticking up for Samskara of all people!

The ironic thing is that people claim the Lemmy devs will do that to Lemmy. And here it's Rimu doing it with Piefed.

I don't agree, he's had a history of being weirdly controlling and opinionated. Piefed's codebase is a testament to that. @Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com already pointed out one such malicious change Rimu put in and then decided to add a toggle to when he got backlash for it. He did the thing where meme communities were marked low quality long before this recent drama ark of his.

I don't think so, then again he hasn't been okay for a while. Him making poor descisions about piefed and deleting users who are critical of him aren't a new thing. They're par for the course. People have criticized piefed for this for a while, but they've been dismissed as tankies or reactionaries. I admit I used to dismiss them as well. Not anymore though.

Maybe we need a meanwhile on piefed community to talk about drama related to Rimu's flinging of mud and insults, as well as the many additions to piefed's code which make it a much worse platform. It doesn't get talked about much except in comment chains and Rimu controls most communities about piefed itself. So a community beyond his reach would probably be good.
