FUCK

You can say fuck on the Internet!
For fucks sake.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Filtering swear words is a dark path the masses are willfully following. It's a subtle way to see if they can use AI to force us to change how we speak to align with a worldview. People need to fucking resist it.

[-] Schorsch@feddit.org 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Interesting take. Care to elaborate what role AI plays in this context? Recognizing swear words in image files, I guess?

Also I'm willfully using more swear words on Lemmy if it means they won't farm my comments for training their fucking piss shit AI without my goddamn consent. Horsefuckers!

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

It's using AI to filter or reduce interactions with words puritans and Chinese censors find "offensive" but to the other responses point, it goes deeper. They train the AI not to cuss, not to be able to discuss sex at all, and to avoid topics that the developers' companies or countries don't like. But we're never shown what they push for or are guarded from by the companies releasing them, so the shift is subtle.

May I ask what "Chinese censors" have to do with anything? It's completely feasible to me that this is an all-American problem, imposed on us for the sake of brand friendliness; same as it's been for other instances of censorship like network censors on television or the YouTube adpocalypse; and carried over into our language now more generally to end up in a place like lemmy. It's perfectly explained by the attitudes and surface-level friendliness of "polite society" in western culture. I don't see the point in using a foreign adversary to explain it away, or pretending that censorship is anything different when it's done by a government vs private entities that shouldn't have that kind of unchecked authority over what we're allowed to communicate in the first place. I also have no reason to believe China gives any fucks about the vulgarity of English speakers on the English internet. It just seems weird to me to bring them up here.

The underlying tech doesn't care about swear words. But, from what I hear, the "AI" models and interfaces that are being marketed for general use have been intentionally trained not to emit such words, and may even be blinded to those words by their creators. I haven't verified it, but supposedly adding "fucking" to your Google / Bing search query will completely disable their "AI" generated results, e.g.

[-] Tigrafale@programming.dev 15 points 2 months ago

Don't fucking say that word please

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

Cussing is a goddamn dirty habit and you should cut that fucking shit out.

There's also the type that constantly has extra (possibly clarifying) thoughts in the middle of their typed sentences. So, they use parentheses to add those clarifications because having to retype the sentence would derail their train of thought and they'd then completely fail to convey anything.

[-] ChillCapybara@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 2 months ago

So, so much. Then realizing you typed two paragraphs replying to a text. Then spend 30 minutes on full re-edits until your self doubt makes you eventually delete it all and simply respond “ok” where normal people only take 10 seconds to type that and yet you get annoyed by their lack of communication. And thus the self hatred spiral continues, as ever.

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago

I use dashes - like this - and feel called out.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 11 points 2 months ago

Listen there is nothing wrong with having used both commas, dashes and parentheses in the same comment. It's perfectly normal.

Right?

[-] spooky2092 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Don't forget to add brackets along with the parenthesis so you can have a clarifying thought during your clarifying thought

I don't appreciate being attacked like this.

[-] whysteria 5 points 2 months ago

got that built in bottom text

[-] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I absolutely detest that kind (the kind who writes a giant parenthetical in the middle if their sentence before one or two words at the end. Just put the fucking parenthetical after the sentence! jfc) of person.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago

Some try to compensate for that by editing sentences to remove it, but then only change like half the sentence, breaking it without realizing.

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 months ago

After years and years of hard work and therapy, I'm now a hilarious mix of the two.

You might ask, "How is your sink so empty and your kitchen so clean, but your clean laundry is piled so high that this is probably your entire wardrobe here on the floor next to the dryer?"

Well, I would answer, "How did you get in my house and would you like something to eat?"

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago

I climbed through the window, because I thought I saw a kitty, but turns out is just a pillow. and yes

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

If you check under the blanket next to the pillow, there is a sleeping kitty. He is greedy for pets and will meow at you.

This is a trap. If you start petting him, you're never allowed to stop.

Never. Allowed. To. Stop.

...You didn't even offer me a snack for the road! What kind of host are you?

Also I brought tea bags. They're quite nice.

Censoring a meme on the internet is stupid.

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Fuck it, I don't seem to have AD(H)D. That's why I've spent the better part of the day recharging so I could pretend to be social in the evening while on vacation with the in-laws and a 2-year old niece. I can't fucking filter her screams, the noise of having 7 adults around me and I'm so fucking glad of not having kids myself.

[-] BendingHawk@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Shit, I just bounce back and forth between the 2 depending on how I feel today

[-] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago
[-] RushLana 13 points 2 months ago

I'm held together by anxiety, caffeine and an unhealthy amount of self hate.

I also have 7 list, a board, 3 reminder app and leave sticky notes everywhere but I least I'm productive ( please help )

[-] froh42@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Downvote because it's a bad ADHD meme and for the goddamn motherfucking censored fuck.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago
[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Sometimes I'm too tired to unmask.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

~~ Sometimes I’m too tired to unmask.~~

Sometimes I’m too tired to mask.

[-] T156@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Sometimes it's both, where you mask to seem like the first, while being the second.

[-] Zorsith 5 points 2 months ago

I'm the second until i am stressed enough to start disassociating, then i become the first one :)

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I do Uber in a tourist area during peak times. And I feel this comment.

Weekdays it's silence other than the NPR radio talking points. Friday to Sunday it's chatter that I submit to in fear of losing out on the seldom tip.

[-] entwine413@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

My disassociations are boring. I basically just stand there while I'm swept away by my chaotic stream of thoughts.

But, I somehow figured out if I let things get super chaotic, it becomes background noise and I'm suddenly meditating. As an added bonus my brain decided that would be my pain response, so now my pain tolerance is crazy high (like getting a vasectomy without anesthesia and only saying ouch under my breath a few times).

[-] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I'm type 2 and a joke, can confirm.

[-] Entertainmeonly 5 points 2 months ago

I've learned to appreciate my chaos for life's spice. I'm an Absurdist. I like to be the reason others do things. All that to say i rather enjoy the freedoms of peace and everyone should add a bit of flower magic to their life.

I'm like one in public but the other in private.

[-] witty_username@feddit.nl 4 points 2 months ago
[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 27 points 2 months ago

Are you asking what the term means? Masking is basically wearing an imaginary mask to hide whatever about you isn't deemed "normal" by society. Some typical examples are people with ADHD focussing very hard on noticing when it's their turn to speak, people with autism forcing themselves to make eye contact, people with depression putting on a happy face. Normal Person cosplay.

[-] haroldfinch@feddit.nl 17 points 2 months ago

"Normal people cosplay."

I was sorely lacking this definition in my vocabulary. Thank you for the correction.

[-] witty_username@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the explanation!

[-] n3cr0@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It's too relatable to be a joke.

[-] n3cr0@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I went from the 2nd type to the 1st type and I don't regret it. My life is fun now.

[-] 0p3r470r@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Mask at work and chaos at home!

[-] Sas@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

I stopped masking at work and it was one of the most liberating things i did in life

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm one of the "fuck it lmao" types and I wouldn't change it for anything. Life is suffering, but I'm also very easily amused and thrive in chaos.

[-] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Huh. I guess I'm the fuckit type. I got no patience for pretending to not be me. Not anymore.
