"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This is lemmy you don't have to do dumb bullshit like say "sa" you can say "sexual assault" or "rape" and it won't get censored. Actually saying what he did is important because the more layers of abstraction it's hidden behind the less weight the accusations have. It's like how saying that someone unalived someone else is not the same in terms of weight as saying someone murdered someone.
It was an attempt, perhaps imperfect, to show some modicum of respect, for those who have experienced the same.
I do not feel seen for having the words that describe the situation hidden from others.
It makes it felt still swept under the rug to be easier to talk about from those that would rather not.
obscuring the crime minimizes the effects it has. i've been sexually assaulted many times, not "sa'd" or "essayed" or "s*xually ass**lted" or whatever attempt people use to censor and mimimize it.
Except those people didn't experience "sa" they experienced sexual assault and you're not doing them any favors or showing them respect by hiding their traumatic experience around a stupid little acronym.
