Yeah no. We're not doing a thread on this, especially the ol' dump a super long video in the OP and that's it. Especially for this subject and from this content creator.
Remember when Contrapoints was going to convert all the alt-right chuds and Joker-murder-hyped incels to the right side of history with shitty poorly researched flamboyantly "arty" videos on YouTube?
lmao I didn't realize there were this many dumb pieces, these are just ones about converting the chuds:

Remember when Era would Freak the Shit out on her behalf because someone would reply, "watch your back."



Era: Literal Death Threats!



And then she did the bad thing and it became.  "I'm going to your house at 123 Ave. Street to slit your throat."



Era: oh sure, death threats!  LOL. Whatever

she said she didn't like how every time she's in a group, everyone conspicuously stares directly at her and chants their personal pronouns (just because she's there, which they would not have done otherwise), and sometimes she wishes everyone would chill

this is anti-non-binary because you have to support efforts to force everyone to chant their pronouns and can't step out of line for a second

then there may have been some other tweets that got her labeled "truscum" for some reason (trans-medicalist, you're not trans unless you medically did something to yourself and made an effort to pass) which is also non-non-binary

then a while later she made a video with buck angel who is super super problematic

then she made a video about her experience with being cancelled and how fun it was, but refused to learn anything and makes the same old leftie anti-joanne videos with no introspection

Why would someone choose to deviate from the right side of history unless they wanted to assist the forces of evil to triumph and eliminate basic human rights? ???

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION
Given the controversial history of the maker of the video and the potentially loaded subject nature, we won't allow discussion of this video on the forums. If you need to discuss the video, do it elsewhere.

This Does Not Go Over Well with the thread regulars:
Quote from: Platy
May I ask what "controversial history of the maker of the video" mean ?

Like when she tryed to defend buck angel and had to discover the hard way how much of an asshole he is ?

feel free to answer through DM
Quote from: Kyuuji
Only halfway through the uh, something, but Anita Bryant is a pretty solid parallel to Rowling in the arguments she used and what her aims were. I hope that we can at least discuss aspects of the thing that form a useful basis in evaluating current transphobia and identifying the types of arguments that are used in obfuscating it. There's actual critical value in doing so and it's incredibly pertinent to the thread.
Quote from: Bionic
So are Natalie’s videos never going to be allowed to be posted? Or is it because it has something else banned in it? I think Natalie is a tremendously influential and positive force overall, and she’s demonstrated a lot of growth over time in my book. Not being able to share or discuss her output feels like a loss to the broader community.
Quote from: Dracil
It's a bit weird, since it has like direct connections to some stuff going on in the thread.
Quote from: Sabot
Super funny that we can talk about JK until the cows go home, but not discuss the work of a trans woman who had a terrible, hurtful, and ignorant take in the past.

Like, what are we even doing here. Like, I'm willing to take the L, it just doesn't feel good.

Odds on the ban getting walked back are uncertain, but I do love staff stepping on rakes.

I saw this starting to percolate on Twitter on a while ago and I'm glad our veteran of the Arab Spring on Twitter has brought it in so they can all steal it like they did when they decided Stonewall was really a trans woman fighting for trans rights.

Also love Kyuuji immediately talking about the thing not allowed. Why would she think anything you say applies to her B-Dubs?

I don’t think Trans Era cares that much about Contrapoints (they were the first ones to bitch about Contrapoints and Buck Angel) and more about having someone influential shit on Joanne. Is like the Android Sophia situation where they made her have a mental breakdown until she apologized and went more nuts and suddenly everyone cares about her again.

Contrapoints is such a bitch but at least she is not Lindsay Ellis that is hiding in her own corner of the internet while pretending she was not cancelled hard.

New policy just dropped in Constructive:
Quote from: Nepenthe
Two announcements for everyone.

First, staff have considered the viability of discussion quality when it comes to the subject of AI art, ChatGPT, and other machine-based forms of artistic content generation, and have concluded that the best way to handle it going forward is to classify the subject similarly to the way we do cryptocurrency and NFTs: for general AI content goings-on to be confined to a single OT, and for news that staff deems important enough- such as legal rulings or major changes by leading industry figures like The Walt Disney Company- to have standalone threads.

Why have we not banned AI content discussion outright? As is commonly said in these discussions, "the genie is out of the bottle." AI content algorithms are here to stay and are poised to see a major impact on innumerable industries, especially as they become more advanced and legal precedents are set. As such, banning the subject at the moment seems untenable, although this may be subject to change.

However, ResetEra is an enthusiast space for video games and wider entertainment such as movies and television which many industry professionals call an online home, and we believe their work is immensely valuable as to why this space even exists at all. Furthermore, staff currently feels that AI content generation in its current form- a billionaire-backed race to the bottom to undermine and eliminate the need for human-led creativity and expression- is fundamentally anti-humanistic and anti-progressive, and we are no longer comfortable allowing the discussion free reign to proliferate on the forum as it has before.

Even beyond the current moral and ethical concerns of AI content generation, there is a fundamental disconnect in the way that those who aren't artists but nonetheless interested in the technology converse with and treat those who are industry professionals whose lives are directly impacted by it. These threads are filled with insensitive drive-bys and dismissals, irrelevant posts of people's prompt results, nonsensical contributions that have no applicable use to members' livelihoods or well-being, and a conscious unwillingness to empathize with and defer to professional artists' expertise, which in turn causes folks who are sympathetic to creators or directly affected by AI content generation to lash back out at the tide of ignorance and trolling in ways that further degrade discussion, as the upset can be redirected onto good faith members.

There is simply an irreconcilable disagreement among our members about the value of art- as a form of creative expression and communication where the process does matter, or as just a commodified product like any other where the process does not- that is not going to result in good discussion in these threads. So we're drawing a line in the sand and cordoning discussion off to a single OT that will be monitored.

The new rules are as follows, and are in effect as of this post:

[STAFF]- AI content news that is merely about individual showcases of AI application, algorithm updates, offsite community bans, and otherwise non-pressing news are not to be made as their own threads, but instead to be discussed in the OT. Current threads about the subject will be locked. If you feel something should be worth its own thread, run it by staff first. Otherwise, it risks a lock and redirect to the OT. Constant failure to heed this rule may result in warnings, bans, or a junioring.

- Insensitive and rude remarks about artists in the context of AI discussion will now be considered actionable under the insensitive and inflammatory rhetoric rules already established in the FAQ. Furthermore, continued unwillingness to concede to artists in discussions that fall under their expertise and purview, as well as vacuous drive-bys praising AI content that ultimately do nothing but serve to belittle an ongoing discussion, will be hit under the trolling and bad faith rules also already established. This is a basic matter of respect. If you do not work as a visual artist or writer, do not presume you know as much or more than they do. Furthermore, if you see that a discussion is ongoing about, for example, the ethical nature of AI creation, and you have nothing to contribute other than how cool you think the technology is, don't post.

- For artists and writers wanting to continue discussion in the new OT, it is also your responsibility to step away when you are getting heated, and to report any behavior you believe violates the rules. While we sympathize with the frustration, excessive and egregious personal attacks on others, as well as an unwillingness to concede to verified AI and machine learning workers in tangents and discussions concerning the technological aspect of the subject will also be actionable. These members' knowledge should not be discounted and dismissed anymore than yours has been.

- The thread creation rules currently do not apply to AI's application in fields like medicine, agriculture, and data analysis. However, you are still obligated to conduct yourself accordingly, and a thread will be closed and redirected if it is derailed to discuss the concerns and ethics of AI content generation.[/STAFF]
If any member wants to volunteer for the OT, please feel free to claim it and ask either a staffer or Suede to add it to the Community OT thread here.

Second, we're going to begin documenting rule addendums and changes like the above in its own thread which will serve as a place for easy documentation for everyone going forward. We will also continue imposing a week-long trial phase after rule updates so that you aren't blindsided by a ban, and we'll use site-wide banner alerts more consistently. All members will be presumed to have read the site banners and policy thread, and as such ignorance will not be an excuse for actionable behavior going forward. Furthermore, the main site TOS will soon be partially updated. I apologize for how long it's taking; I wanted full consensus on the entire document but it's been slow going getting consistent feedback, as well as rewriting some sections entirely. So we'll just go on ahead and update what we have ready for you as we go along. These in turn will also be added to the policy thread.

That's all I got. Go play some games or sum'n.

The AI policy does get a banner notice.

Link to the new policy addendum thread is:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/resetera-policy-update-log.709904/
Quote from: Nepenthe
Welcome. This thread will serve as a public log of all rule changes going forward in order to increase clarity for members and staff alike. Any such updates will be announced by a banner, which will then link to a new post in this thread with the date enacted and an explanation of the new policy. Members have a week from the enaction date to adjust to new policy changes, during which phase we will be enacting warns instead of bans. Discussion of policy changes will continue forth in the community disccusion thread.

Recent news:

02/13/2023: The insult "cunt" has been determined to be misogynistic language and will result in action against one's account when directed towards individuals.

04/18/2023: Similar to crypto and NFTs, a moratorium has been put on AI content threads that are not determined to be significant news. Any such threads will be locked and redirected to an AI OT. Furthermore, posts that are determined to be trolling, dismissive, or aggressive towards human content creators will be actioned.
HP ban is not mentioned, so apparently banning HP gets you trolls that banning AI and cunt won't.

I think they are overthinking why billionaires are promoting AI.

It is just the new hot thing and social media is promoting like crazy with inane BS than genuinely interesting applications that most people don’t care one way or another to have strong emotions about it.

Billionaires, that are investing in the technology, actually like how everyone is panicking about AI as they want to overhype it.

I have my concerns about AI/MachineLearning, but panic is just playing the game of those big corpos investing on it.

 :lol I knew Nep would ban AI talk. It’s wild that one member could force them not to talk about one of the largest entertainment properties in the world, and one admin can stop them discussing the most important technological advances of our lifetimes.

It clearly isn’t going to only apply to ‘fluff content’: https://www.resetera.com/threads/google-ceo-society-needs-to-rapidly-prepare-for-ai-advancements-ai-model-even-developed-new-skills-it-wasnt-expected-to-learn.709817/

Still, this leaves them to construct a nice healthy little bubble where talk about AI equates to genociding artists.

Meanwhile, I’m burning through GTXs forcing Pornmerge to create an army of my perfect bimbo warriors.

Link to the new policy addendum thread is:

HP ban is not mentioned, so apparently banning HP gets you trolls that banning AI and cunt won't.
Policy Log Edited: 1:19 AM:
Quote from: Nepenthe
4/11/2023: The entirety of the Harry Potter franchise is banned from ResetEra. Threads and posts discussing the franchise will be subject to action.

No, that's about the woman doing the genocide, not one of her creations that have nothing to do with her genocide.

The entire world is talking and debating, everyone racing to handle and digest the most transformative technology since the internet, and they can't even talk about it.

The worst part about Jonathan Majors’ history of serial domestic violence is the hypocrisy fact that it was reported on in a timely manner…? :wut

What’s crazy here is they didn’t dump him after the arrest. They were cool with him allegedly choking a chick. Well, except the US military. Presumably the rest did their due diligence and investigations, found enough cause to pull the trigger weeks later when heat died down. Crazier still, Disney Marvel is replacing him with Ezra Miller in black face.

It‘s understandable that resetera would ban any discussion about AI models. It’s probably already possible to replace moderators by a language model. Every profession is protective when it comes to defending their livelihood, especially unpaid internet janitors.

As long as there are people willing to comission important art like Pepe Le Pew raping Pluto while Mickey Mouse is watching, Nepenthe will be fine.

Odds on the ban getting walked back are uncertain, but I do love staff stepping on rakes.

So here's the fun part - incelchief fucking hates contrapoints so we get to see new power versus old power in whether the u-turn happens

guys, I dunno why you're laughing about the ai ban, its exactly the same as when they banned all discussion of mocap because the animators at The Walt Disney Company™ felt it degraded the experience of tracing a picture but moving one line a fraction of a millimetre for weeks on end

I am beyond convinced that the only reason that this Government is so worried about this, is because one of their MP's or Lords accidentally abused a child of the wrong gender and they don't want that to happen again.

posters implication that abusing a child of the 'right' gender would be fine left uncommented

"However, ResetEra is an enthusiast space for video games and wider entertainment such as movies and television which many industry professionals call an online home, and we believe their work is immensely valuable as to why this space even exists at all.

Laughing my motherfuckin ass off.
Industry professional means nepnep and her other furry porn creators exclusively.

Most of the Tory MPs and Lords were educated at British private schools. It’s implied.

anyone getting a particular ‘documentary’ from dailywire being pushed in youtube? I’ve told it I don’t want to see it twice now but it still pops up. Is it just being promoted so hard it ignores my preference?
Storm mentioned it (Post #3,417). I got it too and blocked it.

EDIT: I chose an innocuous reason (repetitive, not interested or irrelevant) because I was afraid it would just push it even harder if I clicked "inappropriate".

A lot of transphobia is based on the fear of having sex with us, even if it's consensual or we're the rape victim. How many rapists and rape-murderers must have walked free because they told the police or the court that the victim had the "wrong sex"?

It's just another facet where cis people of either sex cannot see us as anything but a sexual objects but of course they will accuse us of being the sexual deviants.
Maybe I should look at this thread more often when you guys link it.
