  • is either staged or generated. No company that is serious about the field is going to show themselves as being slthat far behind their competitors.

    Have you even thought about the fact that this is most likely not the company releasing it, but rather a smartphone video made by some random bystander? It could also be a fairly old video of an early prototype - if I remember right, spaceX has once released a video with a bunch of rocket launch fails for the funsies. Or hell, maybe it’s a school project of some engineering students. Nobody really knows the context.

    Your claim of that video being AI has nothing to do with the video, but simply “other companies are further than this lol” which is honestly a pretty stupid standpoint. You should analyze the video itself for any hints of being AI generated.






  • You don’t understand.

    It’s not about people being easier to control without porn. It’s about creating the first stepping stone. Instead of going the full authoritarian route of “Access to the internet requires login at a government portal and you’re being tracked wherever you go online”, you start with small things. Age verification on devices to “protect the children”, making “abhorrent” porn illegal - you put the first elements into place. Those things are hard to argue against - nobody wants to admit he’s watching porn, and you can’t really argue against “protecting the children” without looking cruel in the public eye. Once that is done, you can start expanding on those. Then it’s not just age verification on device, but also a government ID tied to you online, all to “combat terrorism” of course.

    And if you give it more time, you’re being woken up by the humming sound of a security drone in front of your window on 04.03.2045 in a full authoritarian state.









  • And in german (if I’m not mistaken) fox is Der Fuchs, so boy.

    That’s true, but the grammatical gender has nothing to do with the actual gender. Nobody thinks that all foxes are male, just as nobody thinks that spoons (Der Löffel) are male or the street (Die Straße) are female. They can also change depending on the amount. For example, if we take “Haus”, which means house, we say “Das Haus” if we talk about a single house, which would be neutral, but refer to multiple houses as “Die Häuser”, which would be female. Nobody thinks houses become female once there’s more than one tho.


  • Most people default to “this entity is male” without more context.

    I have a hard time wrapping my head about this sentence. I don’t think about the gender of any entity without more context because it’s usually completely irrelevant.

    Male is default, female is marked

    So, I didn’t grow up in an english speaking country, but if I hear “the baker” I don’t automatically assume it’s a man. I think it’s a person that bakes bread and pastry. The same with “the mechanic”, “the engineer”, etc. It’s all - by default - a person.

    Now, if we were to talk german, there is actually a difference. As “the baker”, for example, we have “Bäcker” as Male and “Bäckerin” as female. The reason why male is “the default” in german is because it’s shorter. That’s it. If you say “Der Bäcker”, it’s as you’d say “the baker” in english, you don’t automatically make an assumption about the gender. If you say “Die Bäckerin”, you are referring to a female baker specifically.

    So I can see this as making the non-genderedness explicit.

    Honestly this feels more like a mockery of people that identify as non-binary than raising any kind of awareness. Kinda has some “apache combat helicopter” vibes.
