    My initial position was that AI art would be exciting when a more carefully curated training data is used. … But after some talking with friends, I think we’re living in a world that has minimal respect for copyright already, except when a corporation has a problem with it and wants to bring down the hammer of the law.

    It does hurt and its easy to be emotional about artists’ livelihoods being threatened by AI, they aren’t the only laborers threatened by job loss to automation, but this one hurts the most.

    So now its just up to AI and artists to make interesting art with it. And for artists to adapt to this environment that has automated art tools.

    Okay, so… I just conceded that I can’t define spyware, and you’re accusing me of moving the goalposts over it but I think Ive given ground.
    I have not ever brought up the privacy policy.

    I stand by my point that security flaws are of strategic benefit to the powers that be. We can’t assume what shareholders want other than money. Yeah most of the exploits that were publicized were pretty basic and easy to avoid. These exploits are fundamentally discords fault that they were around so long, so easy to employ, etc.

    Looking into it, I found those malicious scripts on google on the first page… Discord could have issued takedown requests to google and Github. When a company is so large, laziness is malice. Someone said “no, don’t fix that.” ha that’s the scare-pasta you brought up, isn’t it? Ah well.

    You’re asking me to consider that discord is just doing what everyone else is doing and doing what its told by shareholders, who want a perfect and safe platform. You’re not asking me to change my mind, but actually make my arguments weaker. To moderate them. No thanks, I find the sharpest point to be more useful than a dull one.

    Of course! Hope you’re all good, too. Getting on with the replies I’m thinking like… Damn I use discord everyday, I use discord and occasionally talk to people who still use Twitter (X)… Ha. 🤷‍♀️
    Will I ever stop using Discord?

    On reddit you can simply use a tampermonkey script to remove your data. On discord, there is no option to delete all your messages. To the extent that there’s a discussion worth having about whether Discord is following the GDPR.

    Not tackling security issues means discord is okay with third parties exploiting the software to gain info about certain users - which could include hacker groups or government actors targeting single targets.

    I dont think discord can give individual messages over, legally, although they are stored unencrypted on Discord’s server.
