Basically a deer with a human face. Despite probably being some sort of magical nature spirit, his interests are primarily in technology and politics and science fiction.
Spent many years on Reddit before joining the Threadiverse as well.

Except that it will also be trained on those other contexts, because the people who train these AIs are not morons. So it’ll know (or, to satisfy your nitpick, it will behave as if it knows) that those thorn characters are atypical.


Back on Titan, Thanos told his people “you need to kill half the population to save our civilization from disaster.” The people of Titan dismissed Thanos as insane. Thanos, being actually insane, decided he was going to prove he was right by going around massacring halves of populations.
In other words, he’s not doing this to actually help anyone, he’s doing it just to prove he was right. Solving the universe’s problems by other means wouldn’t do that so that’s not an acceptable outcome for him.


Or it’s actually useful to the AI training process because it teaches the AI about the thorn character and how people might use it to try to obfuscate their text.


It can actually be useful to have misspellings in the training data. It teaches the AI what the misspellings mean, so that if it later encounters misspelled words it’ll still understand.


He claims it’s to “poison” AI training data.
Innumerable people have explained to him that this doesn’t work, but he appears to be either immune to education in this matter or is just using this as an excuse to do it anyway for some other reason.


I got a plugin one instead of battery-powered. If I’m dusting a computer I’m going to be near a power outlet anyway so it seemed pointless to make it wireless. It’s was both cheap and quite powerful, I use it for blasting dust out from under furniture and other such handy tasks as well.


Given that OP has ended with a complete lack of clarity in what his question actually means, I see no further point in discussing details like this.


You have yet to present a particularly well-formed question for me to answer. You still haven’t even clarified your original post’s question, what exactly do you mean by people “role playing as animals?”


OP has been singularly unclear about what exactly he means by “role playing as animals” in the first place, so I don’t see the problem here.


UPDATE: can’t help but to notice not ONE of you have answered the question you just keep telling me about furries. I want an answer to why so many people are role playing as aninals
I think you’ll need to be a little clearer about what you think the distinction is here. What is “animal roleplay” to you? Where are you seeing it being done?


Did you actually look at the image of the sculpture? It’s not reaching up. It’s just standing.


Furries are a modern example of anthropomorphic animals in culture. It’s a convenient shorthand.


Lots, this kind of thing goes back deep into pre-history. I mentioned in another comment in this thread that the oldest known sculpture is of a furry and the oldest known cave painted art is furry art. Lots of gods and creatures of myth are human/animal hybrids of various sorts, or straight up animal spirits.


Um, no idea what you mean. 👉👈😅
The oldest known sculpture is of a furry, and the oldest known cave painted art is furry art. We’ve been imagining what it’s like to not be human for as long as we’ve been human. Nothing weird about it unless people want to make it weird.


Put them in jail. If you’re in a position to execute someone, then you’re in a position to imprison them. These are not supervillains who can break out of Arkham Asylum every time there needs to be a new round of villainy.
Would England have freed the United States without violence?
Why wouldn’t it? It freed Canada.
Would Hitler have backed down from controlling Europe if you held a sign for long enough? How about Putin? Or Netanyahu? Or Pol Pot? Saddam Hussein? Hideki Tojo?
At these points you’re in a state of active war with another country, execution is not an option. You need to fight the actual war at that point.
Afterwards, though, once you’ve won the war and have captured the leaders and war criminals and such? No need to execute them, the war has been won. Imprison them.
There are countless examples from history where meeting violent with violence is the only answer. They bring it. You either fight back or you die.
Those aren’t the examples at issue, though. Unless you think a guillotine is a battlefield weapon?


Stooping to their level ought to make things better, then.


If your execution equipment is wearing out from overuse then that raises further questions that a society should probably think about.
How do the songs sound?
