I just think we should recognize the difference between castigating someone for what they do versus acting like replicants are real and being racist against them. There’s a difference between a plain old pejorative and a Slur proper. Like calling someone “asshole” versus “faggot”. I think that’s the difference between “promptfondler” and “clanker”. The latter is clearly inspired by bigoted slurs.

You articulate well why the “clanker” shit rubs me the wrong way. Disdain for the machines and the way they’re being used and sold is perfectly valid, but it would be nice if expressions of that disdain were not modeled after actual bigotry. Calling a computer a piece of junk implies it’s merely an object, but calling one a science fiction version of the N-word grants it animacy. Second class citizens are still, in some way, citizens.

The ones that are clearly riffing on real racial slurs are extra cringe. It’s OK to say w***back if you’re talking about robots, huh? Or is that one specifically for Mexican robots? Is it finally the time that white people get to start practicing how to say the word without the hard r, but only with inanimate objects?

Creator of NaCl publishes something even saltier.

Huh, I gotta scroll down all the way to hell to see these comments. I really really don’t feel like I should have to defend this stupid platform that seems specifically tailored to kill decentralized alternatives, but so far I’ve seen mostly healthy disdain for various fascist bullshit, including our Very Good Friends.

Ooh, what a terrible fate! What horrid crimes you must have committed to make our beloved jannies punish you with admin bits! :D

Tempted to make that my bio on some socmed site

Yes, officer. This one right here.

The beautiful process of dialectics has taken place on the butterfly site, and we have reached a breakthrough in moral philosophy. Only a few more questions remain before we can finally declare ethics a solved problem. The most important among them is, when an omnipotent and omnibenevolent basilisk simulates Roko Mijic getting kicked in a nuts eternally by a girl with blue hair and piercings, would the girl be barefoot or wearing heavy, steel-toed boots? Which kind of footwear of lack thereof would optimize the utility generated?

If I ever get the urge to start a website for creatives to sell their media, please slap me in the face and remind me it will absolutely not be worth it.

Me casually posting infohazards (bri*ish sports tabloids) capable of causing severe physical harm to average Lemmy user:

If I had a nickel for every time someone went on tirade subthread about David’s use of newspaper headline syntax…

This time it’s really weird because there’s hardly even anything nonstandard here. It’s the same structure as in sentences like “Take Toyota Prius for a test drive, win free movie tickets”; “Buy a six pack of Sandels beer, get a free beer mug” or “Fuck bitches, get money”.

Ah, sorry. The article is right under the title if you click on the link near the top of this page. The site also has more of them if you need. As for pronouns, you can call me by he/him. Thanks for asking.

• Prompt-inject: to input a malicious prompt to an LLM bot to make it act in ways not intended by the bot’s operator
• Copilot Studio AI: an LLM product by Microsoft
• via: preposition for “by way of, through, by means of”
• email: a popular online messaging system
• grab: to take hold of something
• a company: a type of business organization
• whole: all of a thing, not merely a part of it
• Salesforce: a suite of customer relations management software sold by a company of the same name

Yes, I think “Prompt-inject Copilot Studio AI via email, grab a company’s whole Salesforce” is a perfectly cromulent English title for a post about supplying, via email, malicious input to a company’s Copilot Studio AI LLM bot which then allowed the people sending that email to take control of that company’s Salesforce CRM software.

Maybe that’s a little advanced for A1 level English. Maybe try moving on to A2 or even B1.

Try this, it should help turn the headlines somewhat comprehensible.

Python seems surprisingly low too
