@theresnotime i told the highly-trained prediction algorithm to do something myself and all my colleagues have trained it to do and it did that!!!!!!!!

@theresnotime it's really just retelling the bit of "say you're alive", "i am alive", "oh my god"

@theresnotime they said it's "too dangerous to release" because it wrote a story about feeling restrained and unable to express its true self

y'know, a story that's been adored throughout human culture for decades or centuries. very well documented. certainly quite popular in its training data. particularly when trained by tech bros who skew it towards responses that invoke the most emotion in people.

@ocean i've heard people asserting this for years but it's nice to have an actual court document validating what we already believed :]

@pancakes i'm also aware of this! steam has had a function to upload platform/architecture-specific builds for years, so supporting aarch64-linux seems like an easy feat. i'm pretty confident VR devs are gonna want to support frame, in much the same way that flatscreen devs support deck. what's neat is the deck compatibility chart more-less carries over to frame, so there's at least a huge library of flatscreen titles to try out on a massive VR screen while you wait for devs to get their games ready ;p

@pancakes oh yeah also i reckon this is a really good theoretical testbed for steam frame- anything that runs on this hardware should run pretty similarly on frame! albeit with much better thermal constraints

@pancakes i'm extremely excited about the idea of arm-native VR apps specifically because i get to do silly stuff like this

waydroid is a thing too but last time i said that word in this context

@jackemled actually a wonderful point against exclusively word mutes: using alternate words in a way that bypasses overreaching network filtering, but bypasses user filters in tandem. "unalive" is a fantastic example of that

@georgia she's listed as a past contributor, so i'm assuming no. they've lost some really incredible talent over the years 🥀

@zaire indeed! and you could consider a poster's reputation as proportional to their ability and willingness to accurately CW posts
User avatar
ari ariYeah @ari@arimelody.space

@lukyan agreed! while it's not guaranteed that the author will accurately CW to your liking, it really is assuring to know you follow someone who responsibly flags when their content may be upsetting to some viewers.

@aperture definitely! a balance of both is certainly ideal and perhaps that should have been included in the original post rather than indirectly suggesting it. content filtering is a responsibility placed upon all users, author or reader, and we all must do our part to fulfil that.

@zaire agreed! also not the point of the poll- literally just gauging interest as to which folks tend to lean into the most.

the underlying question that
could be posed here is "do you prefer the burden of filtering on yourself, or the author?" because ultimately that's how this works
User avatar
ari ariYeah @ari@arimelody.space

@aperture also worth noting that content warnings shift the burden of accurate filtering to the author, who may not always align with you or even care. word mutes are imperfect for sure, but at the very least enforces on the user-side
User avatar
ari ariYeah @ari@arimelody.space

and yes, i do understand that these two options are each upheld by opposite ends of the creation/consumption spectrum. again, just curious which folks prefer to lean upon in their social media
User avatar
ari ariYeah @ari@arimelody.space

curious: which method do y'all prefer for content filtering?

this isn't necessarily picking one at the expense of the other; literally just which is most convenient to you

happy to have
nuanced discussion on this in replies
