Is there actually something behind all these comments about his appearance, or is it just typical internet name-calling that mostly falls into the same anti-LGBTQ+ bucket?

He claims to hate transpeople, yet passes for female better than I, an actual transwoman, do.

[–] ok_computer_dude@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess that’s what makes it funny they are anti what they remind ppl of. Don’t hate thy self, push toward others is what she is projecting.

The anti-woke campaigner brought legal action against Meta – ... – after the company’s artificial intelligence chatbot falsely stated he took part in the riot at the US Capitol on 6 January, 2021, seeking $5 million in damages.

Hold up, you can a convince a chat bot to say something bad about you and then sue that company into giving you a job?

What the fuck is happening right now?

I’m about to get real mean to people still on FB/insta. Wtf will it take for you people to say no to a shitty social media website?

A lack of pictures of my extended family.

Videos of my nieces figure skating are the primary reason I haven't deleted my account

[–] artifex@piefed.social 26 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Try to get them to text them instead. Giant family text chains are a lot more fun (and chaotic) than generic social media.

From the way American mega-corporations are going all-in on this, it seems like a long-term choice; so I think it’s one of two things: the shareholders are demanding that they go full republican (which isn’t happening AFAIK), or they’re trying to survive because they know something you don’t.

Disclaimer: not a US citizen/resident, but sad to see this happening tbh.

Edit: or it’s short-term and caused by Trump pressuring everybody to do controversial stuff in order to distract the public from the Epstein files.

Silicon Valley elites quietly became deeply entrenched in some wild god-complex groupthink over the last 5-10 years, and it aligns fairly well with fascism.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

They are on it just as much as they were on progressive issues very little time ago. Corpos don't have believes, they do what they think will bring them more money now

I deleted my Facebook account in 2009. I started an IG account in 2021 that was 100% for comic book stuff. Deleted that one last night.

I love the irony of people trying to make there AI's not gay.

"free of bias" has always meant "unacknowledged right wing bias"

The most vocal anti-LGBT+ try to convince others, but mostly they're trying to convince themselves.

Zuckerberg is such a coward.

He bends over backwards for even the slightest change in wind, like VR or a fascist govt. He dropped open-weight llama at the first experimental stumble.

Mark my words, if a mega liberals got into power, he’d fire this guy and act as woke as can be.

[–] artifex@piefed.social 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's not cowardice, it's intentional. He wants a timeline where techno-lords with divine authority oversee their vassal states and nations are a thing of the past. Bending over for a fascist party is the fastest way to get there.

Delete your facebook accounts, and anything else related to this company. If your argument is that your family still uses one, then force them to get rid of it too.

Don't participate in the fascist echochamber

Meta seems to really want to overcorrect... they demanded Meta remove their diversity policies, so Meta said that they'd do one better and just start stringing people up in the office.

I've run out of upset energy. It is like trying to dodge rain drops now.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Crash Lab did an episode about that way back in the day. They determined that running makes you more wet than walking through the same amount of rain.

We had to model moving vs static in the rain in a college physics class.

anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorist

That's so nice of him to be opposed to LGBTQ+ conspiracy theorists!

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 41 points 2 days ago (6 children)

I feel like a lot of the anger at transexuals is because men don't want to be confused as women

The ones with femine features who rely on their clothing and social norms to be identified as a man.

If all I saw was the thumbnail, I probably would have unintentionally misgendered this piece of shit. They treat women like property so their main concern is if someone treats them like a woman.

So they insist on a strict adherence to gender norms to avoid people confusing them with what they consider to be "lesser"

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Reactionaries decry "identity politics," because it's literally all they have; they're the ones pushing to make their list of prescribed identities the only socially acceptable ones.

They loathe women who jump their station and get a "man's job." They're disgusted by trans people who won't accept their assignment to either pump out babies for the oligarchy or mainain white Christian supremacy. They're enraged by immigrants who "don't belong."

The identity that they care about most though is "conservative." You can get away with anything so long as you fly that particular freak flag and pretend to apologize. They're narrow-minded bigots who should be ostracized in any civilized society.

We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation

"You're a woman, that's a mental illnessl" is apparently completely OK?

I just had the opportunity to purchase "AI" eyeglasses. They do recording, pictures, capture audio, supposedly let you talk to them, etc. IIRC the frames were by Ray Ban, they didn't look awful.

They were powered by Meta. That was an instant hard pass for me.

TBF I'd probably have skipped them anyway, but if they'd been some other company I'd have at least been intrigued and given them another look.
