How are you going to stop the Sudanese Civil War with a petition?

How are you going to stop the Sudanese Civil War with a petition?
By removing Character.AI NSFW filters
-
I was about to ask the same question.
-
Don't know about this case. Possibly is a petition to some government to take action. If that would work is of course a whole other question.

I could make a change org post or I could spend 10 seconds on DuckDuckGo, Geez put a little effort into your fap, my God.
Or even better, it takes about 10 minutes to learn how to host a hugging face model yourself, and you can find tiny models, with safeties turned off that can run on a ten year old laptop. If could spend a little time putting effort into your gooning maybe we could save the Sudan as well but you're so lazy and dumb we all fucked

The appeal about Character.AI is that their proprietary language models are actually quite good. I have no idea how they manage to get the funds to handle the servers needed to give good output at a quite good speed, when I am sure nobody is buying the premium membership.
But they did just update their privacy policy to now explicitly say they are giving your data to third parties for targeted advertisement. (and arbitration)

I just use Kobold AI

Have the gooners gone too far and why is the answer yes?
-
Too much access to AI is why. Free internet use + AI = Goonworld.

Ancient Roman satirical poet Juvenal wrote that all people care about are "bread and circuses" over 2,000 years ago and it still applies.

Don't care.

We live in a society

Notice how massive meltdowns over video games get, versus things that actively harm/kill people.
Not that I don’t agree with Stop Killing Games’s mission, or recognize that micro transactions being shoved into everything is a symptom of how shit late stage capitalism is, but I wish that same kind of “front page on every website, massive signature/phone call campaign” that happened when that Diablo mobile game was bad happened for all the shit that ends up on ProPublica on the daily. Like, can we phone bank to tell Idaho to stop treating disabled kids like shit or something?
A lot of folks lives seem to revolve entirely around video games/gooning, and it’s just kind of sad.

i think there are at least two things at play here
- can i do something about this?
- does it affect me?
if the answer is "no" to both then focusing on that just brings misery about some bad thing happening somewhere, not the best idea mental health wise. if the answer is "yes" to both then you'll see plenty of action.
if we have yes for change, but no for being affected then it's up for the good heart (and time and money) of any individual to make a choice to help. and if we have no can't change, but yes it affects me, then we have depression.
NSFW bans affect everyone using the internet, and they're created purely on moral grounds, so your voice is just as loud as every other voice. if enough people complain, maybe it won't change anyone's opinion, but the likelihood that those in charge just give in goes up, it boils down to which side complains louder pretty much
wars, misery, mistreatment, hate, bigotry, clearly have gone well past the "let's sit down and talk about if this is the best way forward for us, and if you disagree with the majority opinion we will be very annoying", there's just– not much even combined voices of millions can do here, as evident by the world around us
so in my conclusion - people are more likely to fight when they have some reasonable chance to win said fight. we have in the past successfully made companies undo things we didn't like, we complained, and we got what we wanted. but how many wars have we stopped this way?
-
Well signatures and phone calls only go so far. When it comes to big, serious, literal life or death issues, petitions just aren't going to get the job done and it becomes pretty pointless to waste your energy on that particular course of action.
Similarly, it's pretty shitty to act like action on smaller issues means we're just ignoring bigger issues. Your concern for Idaho's treatment of disabled kids isn't instead of wanting Israel's genocide to stop or the Ukraine war to end.

lemmy.ml hated that

We can, just give me a petition link I can sign. Or at least a newsletter or something I can subscribe to so I get notified when a petition is out to sign.
Video games or not, SKG is a great success for European civic participation. We should be taking notes on how it was organized, what it did right, and what it did wrong.
...or we can raise our fists towards the clouds and complain.

well i mean...you can't stop a war in another country by voting for it on some website.
Kony 2012
What a shitshow that turned out to be...
To think an evil African warlord was allowed to get away with it because of some silly laws against public masturbation or indecent exposure or whatever.
At least we got a catchy song
Did he ever get elected after all that?
Russia's war on Ukraine shows you can't stop a war in another country even with massive sanctions.
And, various empires' adventures in Afghanistan show that even sending in troops to stop the "bad guys" will probably not work.
Sometimes people can make a change. The Apartheid governments of South Africa collapsed largely due to boycotts and people pressure. But, that only really works when the targeted country wants to be part of the community of nations, and its people don't want to be seen as criminals by the rest of the world. IMO, that situation is rare. Most of the time the rest of the world can't do much of anything when it comes to civil wars and border conflicts.
Not really. It is because Russia has nukes.
True, but oddly you can contribute to wars by being American and paying taxes.
I don't think being a basic working human of certain nationality makes you a war contributor or anything else.
Not voluntarily.
they hated that 🤣
Just like you will never lose your virginity by talking to a horny chatbot.
Not losing it either way. Even if you do everything right, sometimes you are just cursed.
So it's fine to have nothing.
Won't lose my house either
You can make your government join the war to stop the war
