Good luck filling and winning a lawsuit against meta. They have enough money and influence that if they wanted, they could just send an email to your server hosting service and forcing them to shut you down. That, or just spend probably less than $100k to keep you in court long enough you go bankrupt. It’s a losing game… at least until more non far left socialists are running the show around the world.

Man who invented torture nexus claims torture nexus isn’t used for torture.

For EU, I’d guess some lie about user safety that simultaneously allows for tighter monitoring and control over people. After all, people in Catalonia already gotta deal with paranoid police thinking everyone with a google pixel might be a criminal and potentially having malware installed, so who’s to say it’s not similar in other regions?

For companies, same thing, minus the paranoid police. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re using paranoid police as a means to achieve that goal, though.

Allowing whatever company your phone comes from to retain as much control over your device as possible, if I had to guess. Standard corpo stuff, most likely.

Pretty sure it would depend on the crime. Speeding slightly over the limit or jaywalking would be basically a no reaction crime because everyone does it.

Theft? Depends on what I stole and from who. A few coins go missing fromy brothers room and my parents probably aren’t gonna care as much if I tell them later ( which I never tell them ), so long as it’s not a significant amount of money. My dad would also have no leg to stand on since there have been plenty of times he’s taken stuff from our rooms without asking ( like the time he took some snacks I had stashed in my tech junk drawer in my dresser maybe a year or two ago, which I’m still salty about ).

Stealing from a store? They’d be shocked and I would definitely be punished. As to what the punishment, no clue, besides definitely returning whatever I stole to start.

Murdering someone? More than likely gonna be reported to the cops and locked away.

Piracy? Don’t get caught. They have received emails about me doing it a long time ago and just don’t want us to lose our service.

Tax or other kind of financial fraud? My dad wouldn’t approve at all and might report me if he ever figured out I was in on some type of financial fraud because he doesn’t want to get screwed over by association of being my father. No clue how my mom would react, but I don’t imagine she’d be thrilled about it either.

Illegal things like CSAM, beastiality, etcetera? Ain’t no way I wouldn’t be put in some sort of psych ward or something of the sort for such sick and dastardly material. If not straight up sent to prison because the feds get to me in this hypothetical before they find out. There’s definitely a chance I wouldn’t be part of the family if this ever happened, which I hope it never does and that if I have a midlife crisis that it’s just me buying stupid things instead. Especially since I know someone who got caught during his midlife crisis flirting online with a “minor” ( some form of either fed or law enforcement honeypot account ).

Yeah, my brain had stopped working. Thanks for the help.

The fact I can hear their exact voices saying this says something.

Swift could easily get a lawsuit set up against them and most likely win, if AI nudes start getting made and sent out by average people. If she did, she’s already won the court of public perception or whatever it’s called ( drawing a blank ) because of how popular she is. I guarantee if she told people not to use grok or ex-twitter, a large of the swifties on the platform would run faster than Usain Bolt to delete their accounts.

I don’t remember my parents having many, if any, rules for games, probably because I was the final child by that point. They didn’t really have to worry too much about me getting into games too mature for me ( probably the worst I could remember when I was still little would have been Turok on n64 ), so I was fine either way.

I do remember on weekends, though, my dad specifically trying to get me, someone who doesn’t like to eat breakfast in general, to eat before I’d play games. That was around middle school when that would happen.

Definitely.

Although, I don’t think I’d go for a full suit for my fursona because I’ve never imagined them naked, I’ll agree this is a good idea.

I have thought about that, but for the first one I get, if I ever get one, I’m probably gonna get one without just to make sure I can handle it. Last thing I want is to spend a ton of money on a fursuit with a ton of extras only to find my body cannot handle it, with or without fans.

I’ve played a bit of it ( haven’t finished ) and so far it’s pretty good. I totally wish I didn’t see a playthrough of their other game, Detention, around 2018, so I could go in for a completelt blind playthrough like I am for Devotion.

That’s why I’m definitely gonna get a partial if I ever get a fursuit. All I need is the head, hand paws, and tail. Then I’d be set… as soon as I get a bunch of sweat reduction clothing and more black pants and long sleeve shirts.

Maybe a +3 or 3.5 max. After having a little bit of experience with artificial “intelligence”, I have been doing everything in my power to block it out of my life.

People can call me a Luddite for this, but my response to those people is that I can at least think and form an opinion without needing an AI telling me how to think or what to feel.

The only exception to the AI rule for me are the people who either use their voice or get consent from a friend, to work together, to use their voice for something like creating a Diffsinger or ENUNU voicebank as that requires a lot more work than just typing a prompt on a keyboard and, when done in an ethical way, doesn’t involve theft in general. Similar reasons I support UTAU voicebanks and older vocaloid voicebanks that are basically confirmed not to have used AI.

As for other forms of technology, I will absolutely agree with OP on fearing the people over the technology, even if I don’t fully understand it all. Except for VR. I’m 100% worried, with the way my brain currently works, that someday we’ll have realistic enough VR that I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference and that scares me a lot.

I would hope being rich, but I’m not counting on it.

1. Used to play viola back in school. Lost it around fall 2019, early winter 2020 during a forced move.
2. I currently have an acoustic guitar I got recently. Really need to actually play it now that I have time instead of letting it sit in the case. Learn it instead of procrastinating.
3. I should follow music communities to find more music, but I don’t because IDK.
4. I don’t post because I feel like whenever I do post on a site like this that I need to respond to everyone who replies, which adds mental gymnastics I don’t wanna play with .

One of my gripes with that game is the singular ending for the main game. Otherwise it definitely feels new compared to the original.

Heard about this earlier. The situation sucks, but at least this is better than nothing.

The perfect book for Oli:

The cost of all stuffed animals at a thrift shop.

Then I could easily work on increasing the amount of rescues I will have. It’s currently 1.5 rescue to 4 others ( purchased at a store, gift shop, gift, etcetera ).

My goal to someday have more rescues than store bought would be a little easier.

Oh yeah, and kids would have an easier time accessing them because $1 stuffed animals are a lot easier to convince a parent to buy than a $5.99 stuffed animal. But I don’t like kids, so they were an afterthought!
