We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent
  • Current media and institutions already try to control the conversation and how people think, and I can see futures where AI could be used by those in power to do this more effectively.

    You don’t think that’s already happening considering how Sam Altman and Peter Thiel have ties?

  • Went to the preserve in MN today!

    Lots of discs. Talked with big jerm and got a signature. Worth the trip!

  • Never did I say there wasn’t. However, the first amendment protects all kinds of false speech, except in some very narrow exceptions. Here’s an interesting interview. it’s at the bottom of your want to read, otherwise, it’s a decent listen.

  • Society doesn’t imprison you for saying the N word. It’s not socially acceptable, but you won’t face legal repercussions.

    The law that was passed is too broad. It blanket bans deep fakes. That’s the issue. Not that I’m really complaining that they do, I don’t like them, but because I do not like it, is not justification. The law doesn’t target political speech, just deepfakes as a whole. Also, political speech is some of the most highly defended when it comes to the first amendment.

    Politicians have been lying about each other for longer than deepfakes and will continue to do so.

  • I literally said you could display a banner that discloses that it’s a deepfake, that was my actual solution, rather than banning the medium of speech outright.

    We do need an overhaul.

    This individual lawsuit, though, isn’t all that unjust because Elon’s name is attached to it. You shouldn’t be able to ban a vehicle of speech because you don’t agree with it. Fuck, I don’t agree with it, and actually was equally grossed out about the lawsuit, until I did some digging on what 1st amendment lawyers were saying about it. Just because I don’t like it, doesn’t mean it should be banned.

    I agree with the overall sentiment of what you’re conveying about the country, in my opinion though, this lawsuit, isn’t a super effective way to voice those concerns. We do need overhaul, shit is broken. However, my state telling me what I can and cannot say, and how, is not okay with me. I hate Elon, unfortunately, a broken clock is right twice a day, even if he has ulterior motives, there are more effective ways to have change and not infringe on people’s rights.

    I never mentioned the 2nd amendment.

    I’ve actually thought about how to enact change with politics the way they are, and I’m not sure it happens, people in power have too much to lose. Really sad state of the US.

  • I don’t disagree entirely, but, how would you amend it then?

    I mean we’re talking about one of, if not the most cited amendments in the constitution. Of all things, Americans hate being told what they can and can’t say.

    Again, I don’t disagree with your sentiment, especially cause you’re not wrong, one side is uprooting everything while claiming to be “playing by the rules” or “protecting American rights.”

    It’s an interesting case for sure.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • So, I hate Elon. I’m going to start with that, please don’t misconstrue this is a defense of him. However, when it comes to this. The argument for the suit is that the first amendment protects it. The first amendment protects a lot of speech that I don’t agree with, doesn’t mean it can’t be said. I think, if we were trying to combat deepfakes, without stepping on the constitution, it could be done with a required disclaimer on deepfakes, that, if it isn’t there, opens up the creator, or platform, to legal repercussions. Or something along those lines.

  • There's a new tour going around from GoThrow! Coverage by Ace run production. Playing at beautiful the Eagles Crossing!

    The PDGA has the weekend off, well, there’s a “competing” tour starting up from GoThrow(formerly GKPro, the guys that brought and still bring skins all year)

    The event is not sanctioned by the PDGA so you may see some more interesting lines that wouldn’t be taken while in a sanctioned event. They’re still playing for tour points and some sort of playoff for a winner of the GoThrow tour!

    I think the competition is good for the PDGA, there are a lot of things that players would like to change. Hopefully the pressure will help get some changes.

    I am curious to see if either tour can figure out how to be profitable. I don’t think the PDGA makes money, which makes me a bit nervous for the future of professional disc golf. We will see.

    The rust is real

    Almost made the image NSFW. Brutal. Normally these are guys I can compete with, not close, and they’re usually below par too, well, only up from there.

    I’m in the midst of some form changes to try to get me out to 400 ft, that didn’t help, but the putt was just off. Time for more practice.

    As always, go throw!

    The DGPT is back baby!

    Welcome back disc enthusiasts, the pro tour is back again! Jomezpro will have 1st round coverage available sometime today. (My preferred way of watching) However, the DGPT also streams this event free of charge. You normally need a subscription.

    Course is awesome. Weather is good, it’s a hard course but I expect to see some decent numbers!

    Don’t forget to go throw yourselves, I’m planning on heading out tomorrow to try to break in all the plastic I got from this off season. “Break in” is also my cover for being rusty and hitting trees.

    The pro tour starts up again this weekend!

    The disc golf pro tour is back this weekend! I will more than likely be posting links to it as well.

    Also, I’ll be more active in the sub going forward, trying just to add content, turns out, when you live where it gets brutally cold, starting a disc golf community before the winter starts, makes creating posts difficult lol.

    However, I also was able to get out this week and throw as well! I made some form changes, and just two rounds in, I know this year is going to be better than last. So I should be able to feed this some content.

    Go throw!

    Been quiet in the world of disc golf this weekend, what's your favorite disc in your bag?

    My favorite disc in my bag currently is the MVP Wave. 11 speed driver. Had a neutron one that got a bit flippy for me as my arm speed got faster, ordered a glow one. Money. I’ll probably get a backup!
