@LukeAlmighty how's that not a sex-related problem when they say that they specifically have a problem with men filming them (women) without their consent, most likely with nefarious purposes, what do you expect them to do? It's has been such a widespread problem for years that it's exactly because of this some regions have a requirement that a shutter sound of a photo camera has to be permanently on software-wise. Do you seriously expect them to go full politically correct woke-style "here's a tip for you folx" when their consent has already been violated by a specific group?

and if some guy has a problem with being filmed, it's not like he can't use the same tip, it doesn't say anywhere that it's explicitly forbidden for him to turn Disney songs on, and even if it did, it's not like there's anyone to enforce it because that would be retarded

I don't like to fuel the doom scroll , but know this-

We are at a pivotal moment in human history, and what is clear is all of humanity's intellectual proofs are being consumed by something that has no ethical impetus

It does not feel, as such it can never create truth. It can never be of identity, it can never be the deep context driven participant a human can.

If we continue to let the path unfold as is, the pursuit of knowledge and introspection will be scripted and delivered.

FR hedgie on twotter-

AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

@LukeAlmighty and then you say that we shouldn't teach men not to rape

rape also doesn't happen if you have enough willpower, so it's fully and completely on you alone to stop rape

@LukeAlmighty it doesn't happen if you have enough willpower, so it's on you

@LukeAlmighty it's statistically safer to record a bear with meta glasses than a man, so...

stop spamming misogyny, easy peasy ❤️

@LukeAlmighty nobody singled half of the population there, you big baby

@LukeAlmighty
women: share self-defense tips
you: "BUT WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

at least that's not a secret that letting the testosterone-motivated psychopathic group in charge was a mistake

Andrew Tate is a scumbag? Who would have guessed?!

@Jens_Rasmussen @LukeAlmighty hope the moment you strive for happens for you sooner than later, then ❤️

@LukeAlmighty @Jens_Rasmussen then enjoy a capitalist piggie pipeline of
> YOU, the able-bodied worker, have to work as hard as you can and get a minimum reward
> YOU become the disabled sickly retard and die because you can't afford health insurance

@LukeAlmighty no, and I believe Marx wrote about why slavery was majorly inefficient too, so before writing headcanons, you'd better get more acquainted with the lore

"oh, The Odyssey had cyclops and other monsters and gods in there, how can you call for a historic accuracy in the movie based on this fantasy novel?"

@LukeAlmighty
"what do you like to do to rest and restore energy?"
"well idk, i like videogames"
"oh, me too! i play The Sims when I am not busy looking after my kid :)"

i almost became a misogynist that moment, and I like Sims too
she didn't even mention the number, fucking larper normie

@LukeAlmighty the problem with chronic anxiety that even if the conditions are ✨perfect✨, a sudden jolt of the most random panic WILL wake you up in cold sweat and the night is ruined

"my life is shit and I have chronic insomnia"
"make your life not shit and find a way to sleep :)"
