I've gone to check the account, seeing what I saw, I'm leaning on the fact that this might actually be a real person. In fact I hope it is an AI account to create engagement, because such real people make me lose more faith in humanity than any AI would.

Just see his job description, it's such bullshit chain of nothing:

Empowering B2B Sales & Marketing Teams to Scale with LinkedIn™-Driven Lead Generation & Brand Building Services ▶ Boost Your Sales Pipeline ▶ LinkedIn™ Consulting, Training, and Management Services ▶ LinkedIn™ Top Voice

People are so happy to blame AI and LLMs for all sorts of stuff that it looks like they forget what the real problem is. The real problem here is not that it may be written by an AI, but the fact that there are actual people that write like that. That think they sound profound and careful while not scared by change... In general a whole layer of management and wannabes that try to sell an image of being something they are not.

That account might be full of AI generated crap, I didn't even bother to check it, the problem is not that it is AI, it's that there are people that really are just like that. Even without LLMs, LinkedIn was already like that. Notice how Hatchins doesn't say its an AI bot, he just says "this truly shows the LinkedIn experience".

Please show some respect, that's not fair to clowns

I guess it is inevitable that self centred ego-stroking bubble communities appear in platforms such as Lemmy. Where reasoned polite discussion is discouraged and opposing opinions are drowned.

Well, I'll just leave this comment here in the hope someone reads it and realises how bad these communities actually are. There's a lot to hate about AI (specially companies dedicated to sell it), but not all is bad. As any technology, is about how you use it and this kind of community is all about cancelling everything and never advance and improve.

And I could rebute to that, that if someone is interested enough to check it with AI then they were likely to try and check it anyway without AI, maybe it would take longer, it would be harder to find... But they'd be the intended audience that now are redirected elsewhere.

To quote myself:

It's a really complex topic that no simple straight answer would solve.

We could rebute again and again and again, and get nowhere because either option is hard to discuss as it is simply impossible to give proper data to prove anything. And worse, when defending the use of AI for it can lead to being told you are allowing it in the first place and that's not even telling how many people still believe that AI needs real sample images to produce those (whether the algorithm is trained or not on CP is irrelevant on this particular point, as it is not needed to be created)

Hmm.. In my mostest most humblest of opinions, no, you didn't get carried away. You explained it in just the right amount. Maybe even stopped too soon, would have loved the version for Mac.

I'm not the kind to hate on nuclear power itself, but let's not assume it's perfect either. There are good reasons against nuclear power, its just not the usual reasons raised by people.

The cost and time effort needed for building one plant is one drawback.

The fact that you can't say "let's turn off the nuclear reactor now that we have enough renewables and later today we start it again when the sunlight is over". It's a terrible energy source to supply for extra demand needed without perfect planning.

Nowadays, nuclear is not so worth it in general, not because of fearmongering about the dangers (an old plant badly upkept is a danger, independent of what energy source you use, but specially for nuclear plants). Ideally a combination of different renewables would be best, with some energy storage to be used as backup, plus proper sharing of the resources between different places. There's always sun somewhere, there's always wind somewhere, ...

As a counterpart, the fact that it is so easy and simple to get those AI images, compared to the risk and extra effort of doing it for real, could make the actual child abuse become less common and less profitable for mafias and assholes in general. It's a really complex topic that no simple straight answer would solve.

Normalising it would be horrible and should be avoided, but there will always be some amount of people looking for that content. I rather have them using AI to create it than having to go searching for real content. Persecuting the AI content is not only very inefficient, it might also be harmful as the only other content left would be the real one that is much harder to catch those who make it.

Since you have experience DMing games for different ages than yours (or I expect that's the case since you talk of birthdays and after school programs), what would be your advice to lead a game with kids that you think it's different from just a bunch of friends playing specially if they are old enough that no theme is out of bounds.

Like I mention in some other comment, I want to start a game and DM both my kids and my wife using the Adventure Time RPG books based on 5E. My biggest issue is that both kids are quite far apart in age, 4 and 8 and I'm inexperienced being a DM so handling both and making the game fun for all feels like a daunting experience. So as an extra question, have you ever been the DM of a game where players had meaningful difference in age?

Man this all is amazing. I have never DM'd but I want to start soonish. Long ago I grabbed the pathfinder book and the master guide to start some group locally, but that never actually happened (got kids, no time or energy left for much (: ).

Now kids are growing up and I would want to make a small game with them and my wife to teach them about RPGs. Waiting to get the adventure time RPG from kickstarter based on 5E to make the game with them. All your comments are amazing to read and prepare mentally :)

Me too, the problem is how many have to suffer him until that happens. And I dont mean just having to read his every damn comment.

Really? Ah wow, never thought it would be that hard... That's sarcasm by the way, since we are stating the obvious. Also you forgot to mention, one does nothing against FElon and the other ends FElon.

I anyway hate the idea of inciting violence (but sometimes you just need to get it out) and can't really wrap my head at how many people are in comments in Lemmy out for blood (well, I kind of understand, the situation is bleak to say the least, the issue is how many think violence is a good solution for real, there's a discussion for violent revolution, but violence alone is useless, but I digress), I'd rather he rots in a cell somewhere and all his money is taken away to do something useful with, he'd probably hate that much more than anything else. Same with Amazon Dickzos... Well that's lame, couldn't come up with a good name for him yet. Bezos anyway.

But anyway, if the first lady trump is still free and worse, in a position of power in the government, after all he has done (literal treason, rape, ...), I'm not holding my breath for the nazi asshole to get to prison.
