It’s not more trustworthy than a Chinese person that lives in China.

And no, I don’t need a white person to explain my country to me, or try to justify their racism to me. You people lost that self granted right when you all voted for Trump.

You mean raise up peasants from absolute poverty and slavery?

Just a reminder, whitesplaining isn’t better because you use a literal joke website. It didn’t start in China, nor is Winnie the Pooh banned in China.

You can find hundreds of videos of westerns being surprised by these facts when they visit children’s theme parks.

The model has no censorship. Some websites running the model are hosted in China and thus do. Use one of the thousands of instances that run out of the US or run it yourself. It’s not like chatgpt or other openai trash, it’s system requirements are pretty low.

Liberal democracy proudly caused the trail of tears.

Don’t spread CIA lies, don’t lessen the seriousness of politics. Worked out better for the average Chinese citizen than whatever the fuck the US has been doing.

It really didn’t.

It’s not solely about pay, but also what your work is used for. It makes sense you don’t understand this if you’ve never created anything, artwise or otherwise. If I draw a picture I control who displays that picture and for what purpose. If someone I don’t like uses that picture without permission it reflects poorly on me, and destroys my rights.

The easy example is an art piece by a Holocaust survivor being used by a neonazi without permission.

Now imagine you steal tens of millions of artists work. You know for a fact you don’t have the licenses needed to ensure their work is used to their liking.

Yes, just because you disagree that your new toy is literally theft and is one of the most irresponsible inventions since leaded gasoline, that doesn’t change anything.

Sorry you’re the type of person that added lead shot to your gas tank after they banned leaded gasoline.

Normalizing is a thing, on top of that there are still indie markets that can be supplanted by gan image generation. On top of that artists still have rights to their work, if they didn’t explicitly license their works for the model, it’s theft that removes the value of the original.

There’s a pretty clear difference in the two. If piracy ended in a new digital good that removes the market for the original good while eliminating the jobs of those that made the original good, then it’d be close. Even then pretty much everyone agrees not all piracy is the same; you wouldn’t pirate an indie game that hasn’t sold well unless you’re an absolute piece of subhuman shit.

It’s still stolen content. Regardless of any other issues, it’s 100% stolen content.

Nearly thirty million so far.

Except they can only do this with us military backing. If the US didn’t back Israel when Iran attacked, Palestine would currently be the only country in that territory.

This is the same plan Biden had.

The country that has broken every ceasefire they’ve ever entered into can’t be trusted this time‽ I’m shocked!
