Not to defend Brave (seriously, don’t use Brave), but it has built-in ad-blocking.

Here’s a good article about it.

It no longer works because of how it’s programmed. Ghostery must use a different method of blocking ads which works with Manifest v3.

I like what they’re trying to do, but damn, launching an entirely new browser engine in the '20s is a heavy lift.

PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data after cloud storage vendor goes defunct

The anti-AI fervor has quelled since Linus’s announcement about it for example.

How do you figure? It seems like I’m hearing about it more and more every day.

LOL @ all of these new accounts saying shit like this.

This tech could be such a exciting break through, a step towards real artificial intelligence

No, not really lol.

The best analogy for this that I’ve heard is that it’s like saying elevators are a step towards teleporters. Calling it “intelligence” is a marketing coup. It is not intelligence, artificial or otherwise.

Almost every report i’ve seen shows over 50% of people using AI for search

Because people don’t know that they can turn it off, or they don’t know how to turn it off and it doesn’t bother them enough to find out how. If it was opt-in, that statistic would probably be 5% use AI for search.

Let me see if I understand you correctly. You believe that our views on sex work are the result of evolutionary biology. They are not influenced by culture or religion. Correct?

Given that, every civilization’s views on sex work should be very similar?

(Also, are you talking only about prostitution? Or all types of sex work? Or only certain types?)

But seriously, do you think this is a controversial view?

I don’t care whether it’s controversial or not.

Do you think people want children or friends to have to do sex work?

Obviously that work isn’t appropriate for children.

If a friend had to do sex work to make ends meet, I wouldn’t judge them harshly, though. It’s their body.

I’m not talking about human trafficking. If somebody’s being forced to do any kind of work, that’s slavery, and it’s wrong. I’m talking about somebody choosing to do the work voluntarily.

Would anybody go “oh wow I’m so proud of you”? I do not think so.

Most of the jobs I’ve had did not make anybody go “Oh, wow, I’m so proud of you”, but I did them anyway, because I needed the money. Most people don’t have a problem with this and they just accept it as part of life. The only time when people get weird about it is when sex is involved, and that’s due to puritanical ideas.

Do you feel this way about other kinds of work?

Does it matter if the object of desire is “real”

If it doesn’t matter to you, then it doesn’t matter.

Just because you know superheroes aren’t real doesn’t mean you cant enjoy the movie or low and behold have a wet dream of superman flying holding you in his arms.

Lo* and behold. The phrase is “lo and behold” lol

Imagination is good. Using your imagination is good. That isn’t what we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about is AI-generated porn, essentially.

Once I’m aware that something is AI-generated, it becomes gross and weird. That’s how I feel, but I acknowledge that you might not feel that way.

People have been thirsting over lara crofts 3d boobs, i am not even gonna get started on japan.

Was not expecting random racism.

I’m running into a lot of nuts on Lemmy today. Who moved the fucking rock?!

So AI generated VR porn with cyberdildonics actually could make much of sex work redundant.

I doubt that the technology is there. Or, if it is, it’s prohibitively expensive.

Theoretically this is a good thing. No human needs to do sex work or porn or onlyfans just for money if they don’t genuinely enjoy doing it.

You honestly don’t believe that there are sex workers who are relying on their job for a paycheck? Why?

This but unironically.

Which means I may have been thirsting over a human all this time, ugh.

So thirsting over AI is your preference? Eww

I mean, I hear women complain about how men use them as a substitute for therapy, so I assume that they aren’t just talking about how awesome they are.

This is not a general media article. It’s Futurism.com.

Is Baby Gronk the new Drip King, or is he just getting rizzed up by Livvy?
