You don’t see the contradiction in those two concepts?

No, not really.

I was hoping you’d take a look and figure it out but let me explain, and hope you get it.

Why would I when you didn’t give me the same grace? from what I said upstream

I just want to make sure we make distinctions between general ideas and why we actually hate the concept in the modern day.

Well here we are arguing definitions and ideas and not the reasons within these modern ads are oppressive. Not talking about the algorithmic nature of mass surveillance and privacy breaches needed to power modern ads, but “no this ad is different” surface level thinking. But if you want to talk about it, so be it.

‘Telling someone to come to your house’ specifies someONE to whom you are directing the invitation

Okay. make it a group you’re at. Throw a flyer on a telephone pole. Same deal. We had ads before the interet.

You are trying to combine two contradictory levels of specificity.

I don’t think the levels change the intent and definition of an ad. You want to tell people about a thing, you use something to tell them thing.

An ad is an ad. It being a bad idea doesn’t change that fact 🤷

describe or draw attention to (a product, service, or event) in a public medium in order to promote sales or attendance.

Meets the definition. I just want to make sure we make distinctions between general ideas and why we actually hate the concept in the modern day.

Because at this point, with this comic, it’s not about holding him to account.

To remix an old saying: “A controversy can travel halfway around the world before the apology has time to put on its shoes”. Sadly most outlets who reported on Hank’s AI accusations aren’t rushing to say “oh yeah he apologized”. Maybe they stick it in an update in the article without changing the headline.

The world sucks. So this will stick around much longer than it needed to.

Hank makes a video that appears to have AI assistance, and people are ready to drop them on the spot like none of that matters.

Trust takes a lifetime to build and a second to break. This is no different.

Hank even apologized for his reliance on it. Gave receipts that it was never used in any of his other works. Used his experience as a cautionary tale of how AI it take over a process, and promised to do better.

That’s all I care about, though. admitting fault and bettering oneself. I’m not one to think using AI once taints you forever. It’s just a slipperly slope to outsourcing your brain, and I don’t think Hank is doing that.

frames one and three should not exist anyway. They are advertising. It was already malign before generative AI.

Advertising as a concept is needed, though. Telling someone to come to your house on Friday is technically advertising.

We certainly need to regulate the shit out of mass advertising, but I always found the small flyer on a landline pole very homely.

Exactly. If you’re going down anyway, Make your shot count.

I’ve observed that we (USA) have a taboo around discussing what happens in the bathroom.

Is that not normal? I don’t think most people are interested in how massive a shit I had last night unless it’s my doctor. We also have a term of “toilet humor” to suggest that jokes around it are some of the crudest, lowest brow humor possible.

re: the post: It’s rare but it’s happened a few times for some particularly bad bouts. I don’t think it was anything serious, probably just some slightly spoiled food or maybe slightly undercooked chicken.

This sure did sound homely. And a life in a bygone era.

Definitely not something I’ve heard of. This is either very old school America (50-80s) or something done in very small towns where everyone knows one another.

That said, this is definiely something I know friends would do for each other. Truck or not. You have some boys over to help move some stuff around, you cook or grab food for them an pay the bill. But you gotta be pretty good friends for me to call you up like that (or vice versa).

The Black Panthers did more to advance gun control laws than any “radical left hippie kumbaya” ever did. Let minorities have the same freedoms and suddenly things need to be toned down for everybody.

anyways, freeuse is kinda what it says on the tin. “Free” to “use” the person wherever, whenever. if they’re relaxig in bed, while they are doing the dishes, outside gardening the plants, while asleep. Usually has some overlap with the ignoring kink where they try to just go about their day and pretend they aren’t being railed ruthlessly.

The post is real. I think they Ai slop was just a weird censorship technique.

Now, whether or not the users on Reddit are bots getting freaky on main is a different question altogether…
