disengage

The warnings in China are not nearly visually strong enough which as I said, it’s just a way for China to say they’re doing something without actually being disruptive.

As for warning labels on cigarette packs, China Tobacco retains the authority to set its own standards. Unsurprisingly, it has selected only vague warnings, such as “Smoking is Harmful to Health,” and on many brands, the color schemes allow the warnings to blend seamlessly into the background of the packaging.

FFS! The video actually shows you how ridiculously mild these warnings are

Sorry but at this point I’m just seeing too much fucking campist behaviour and I’m not going to engage anymore with that shit. You refuse to look at the evidence people have given to you in the most easily digestible form, in favor of running interference for a goddamn capitalist state.

Watch the video many people have linked you to already.

I think you severely underestimate how ingrained tobacco was ingrained in Europe as well. It’s absolutely false to say Tombacco wasn’t ingrained for a century. In the 80s everything smelled of smoke. Tobacco didn’t start being phased out in Eu until well in the 1990, and speaking of my country, in the 2000s. Sorry but given what I’ve seen of China, they’re dragging their feet, which can be easily seen from how easily they make bypassing the things that actually work without “making gang warfare”, like putting proper warnings on their cigarettes boxes.

So you’re mad at the government for not being worse about freedom?

I’m calling bullshit on the hypocrisy of always defending whatever China is doing, flip/flopping between defending authoritarianism or freedom with no goddamn principles as long as one gets to do apologia for China. It displays that it’s all about campism, rather than about principles.

The aus government raised taxes on smokes for money while saying it was about protecting people till we got gang warfare, gonna criticise them as much too?

I didn’t know the only possible solution to the smoking epidemic is the one failed thing one state did. Fucking Greece was so bad about it to the point that it had whole-ass political parties solely about protecting smokers, and they still have done more progress than China.

Fact of the matter is, that China is dragging their feet and there’s a reason for that, and the reason is $$$, like all other fucking capitalist countries. There’s no reason for us to run interference when they’re failing ffs.

China forces people all the time to not do the things they want to do, but when it comes to the cancer machine, oh we’re all about personal freedom now. Gimme a break…

It’s extremely clear how important the smoking funds are to the Chinese government which is why they’re dragging their feet and doing the bare minimum to claim they try to stop it. Which is why rates of smoking are absurdly high.

These measures are a joke compared go most other developed nations, and clearly compromised at every level.

Thanks. Check out the vids I posted on this comm

You might not like what you’re about to hear but… I made it. It’s all custom made by myself. However I did start documenting it all

Well, all I can say is that like it a lot. Enough to spend a lot of time translating it for the tabletop 😁

Cool but nevertheless fuck GEMA with a rusty spike.

Learn how lemmy works. I didn’t remove shit. But if it did fall on me, I’d remove your low effort shite as well

<Random trolly shite>

Not going to play games, mate. Waste someone else’s time.

you’re still normalizing the usage of ai

There’s nothing wrong with using GenAI ethically.

ADHD doesn’t cause physical pain by reading badly written essays.

"Motherfuckers, I don’t like drawing art …] but that’s just a matter of training! :3c

but that’s just a matter of training! :3c

I didn’t say I don’t like it because I’m bad at it. I just don’t like it. Like I don’t like gardening, cooking and any other amount of creative processes.

ragebait or intellectual deficiency?

Fuck you and the horse you rode on mate. What makes you think you can just call people “intellectually deficient” because they don’t agree with you? And then you have the gall to be offended by me asking you not to talk like an asshole?

ai requires data. lots and lots of data. thus, you need reckless scraping to gather it. and it requires training. lots and lots of training! that requires large datacenters to do.

I didn’t do it. I didn’t order it. I didn’t reward it. That harm was already done. Like a lot of the harm in society done by the personal electronics you use, the cars you ride, the food you eat and so on. Me using those things in a way that doesn’t sustain the system which built them, is very much not doing harm.

did you clock me as plural

Take a look at the rest of the thread for deleted comments to give you an idea what’s going on, yours was the least aggro in fact

as you might’ve psychically gleaned, i have many mental conditions.

Not at all. How could I possibly glean that?

i find this painful to read. this is a physical phenomenon

Even if that’s true, nobody can know you have such an obscure condition without you explicitly mentioning in advance. To everyone else it just sounds like exaggerated criticism.

Any chance for more details on what you mean?

I think you essay writing needs some work but that’s just a matter of training/practice.

Generally I think corporate Ai has plenty to answer for but as you said those are issues of Capitalism and the perverse incentives it provides. This is why we have the dead internet theory. People don’t spam out slop because they like it, they do it because they’re trying to survive or become rich.

I hate how this has poisoned the whole technology that even those who try to use genai for the few ethical purposes it has gets lumped in with the spammers and the billionaires. For example I made a YouTube thumbnail for my obscure content I spent days building the other day and I got hate for it because I didn’t make shitty personal art for the thumbnail instead. Motherfuckers, I don’t like drawing art and this use literally harms nobody! People are just completely irrational about it.

Don’t be assholes. This doesn’t read like anything like Genai essay. In fact I’d argue it looks very human, flawed and all.

Not everyone is skilled at writing essays, and making compelling arguments but they still deserve to make them.

Yes this is what’s weird. There shouldn’t be a reason why some actions didn’t federate.
