Americans love their prison rape & not policing their inmates competently to enable more prison rape.
Are you saying if you listen to hatespeech all day, then you feel compelled to commit violent acts? Or are you saying you need to lock others away for speech that merely offends you?
If the former, then maybe you need to be locked up. If the latter, then you need help working on your authoritarian tendencies begging for a thought police.
should be locked up
They should start with you.
Germany make a strong stance against any “trolling” nazi joke/imagery/salute
And look how that’s working for them: clamping down on pro-Palestinian protests as antisemitism, raids & arrests over calling a politician pimmel.
America’s First Amendment seems to not understand that reason
The 1st Amendment “understands” just fine. You don’t understand and want a thought-police state.
hate speech
Nope: unless you’re arguing people are mindless automatons who must act on whatever message they’re exposed to, people can be expected to self-control.
Screenshots of text are just stupid: we should be linking or embedding content from sources or their archived snapshots.
Idiot-proofing only uncovers harder idiots. People are ultimately responsible for their (lack of) judgement.
Which has alt text & link to source unlike most of the sludge that’s posted.
Are you sure? It’s odd to feel the need to tell us what you aren’t doing & who you aren’t.
It’s like you think we’re all assholes who will assume & claim these things about you. Maybe you know lemmy too well.
No one wrote exclusive. I know autists & aspies find precautions around irrational neurotypical tendencies incredibly annoying like walking on eggshells.
I see an attempt to attribute problematic conduct to conditions at least as likely to resist it & not necessarily promoting it.
It comes & goes in waves. Do you not like ridiculing & poking their impotent outrage & hostility to self-reflective examination?
Not promoting hate speech
Why not?
ADD, ADHD, Asperger’s, or some other form of autism
Wouldn’t the latter fixate more on logic & more likely oppose neurotypical nonsense like biases & overdramatic outrage?
Like this post & comments where the original context they leave out has an obvious, inoffensive interpretation, and they instead go wild fixating on a small part with disparaging interpretations not indicated by the context?
However, the “don’t generate and distribute infringing material” is a whole different story. IP holders are on pretty solid ground there.
Is any of it infringing? Explain the knock-off music & art in popular media when they don’t want to pay royalty fees for the authentic article. Explain knock-off brands. Cheap imitations to sidestep copyright restrictions have been around long before generative AI, yet businesses aren’t getting sued: they apparently understand legal standards enough to safely imitate. Why is shoddy imitation for distribution okay when human-generated yet not when AI-generated?
I don’t think your understanding of copyright infringement is solid.
Even supposing someone manages to generate work whose distribution infringes copyright, wouldn’t legality follow the same model as a human requesting a commercial (human-based) service to generate that work?
Your claims lack links to supporting references. At least I provide them & link to multiple distinct passages that all seem to converge to the same conclusion. As for the translation, we’re not about to learn ancient Hebrew, Aramaic, & Greek to refer to the earliest texts. This is where linking to a more faithful translation would come in if you can do that.
refer to the pagan concept of an afterlife
Not pagan: the Torah refers to Sheol as either (1) a metaphor for grave or (2) a bleak netherworld where all the dead reside (comparable to Hades). The Tanakh (Daniel 12:2) mentions a general resurrection & afterlife. This made its way into the Old Testament.
The Pharisaic school, which became Rabbinic Judaism, claimed to keep an explanatory Oral Torah for the written Torah, which they eventually codified as the Talmud. This started with the 2nd Temple period before & concurrent with early Christianity, thus influencing its scriptures. The Talmud refers to an afterlife in terms of Sheol, Olam Ha-Ba, Gehinnom:
Cultures evolve & acquire ideas from exposure to other cultures. Their traditions & mythological texts are no exception. Judaism & early Christianity likely adopted ideas of duality of good & evil, free will, resurrection, an afterlife, divine justice from contacting cultures.[1]
in line with Pharisaic Judaism
The word in question there is “gehenna” which carries a very specific meaning that does not, in any way, infer an afterlife.
They claimed the contrary: see earlier mention of Gehinnom (the Hebrew name for Gehenna).
the unrighteous are destroyed
In all translations, the famous passage in Matthew about sorting the sheep & goats to different sides specifically mentions eternal punishment for those who don’t get eternal life. Moreover, resurrection is a life after death, ie, an afterlife. None of this is consistent with lack of punishment.
As I wrote before, the Bible is inconsistent, so even the Bible you claim is mistranslated indicates you’re right about the absence of an afterlife & the absence of hell. They both do & don’t exist!
We’re both right. We’re both wrong. Welcome to inconsistency: you can read absolutely anything into the Bible.
Mediterranean & Near East cultures in regular contact were likely exposed to ideas from
The Tanakh refers to ancient Egypt & evidently admires Cyrus the Great (of Persia) by designating him a messiah for the return of Jews to Zion and building of the 2nd Temple. Christianity features the Biblical Magi (the term for Zoroastrian or Persian priests). ↩︎
Nah, they’re for opening a dimension door:
