Screenshot of a PornHub comment posted on Bluesky: “they really counldnt have found 2 trans women to do this?”, quoted by steelybel.bsky.social with the added caption: “when u see claude on the github repo”
Ah but that would require a trans-friendly, leftist community, right Omarchy?
I legitimately wonder how trans-friendly leftist communities are taking the Linux slop.
I see !fuck_ai@lemmy.world still in the anger phase, some in the bargaining.
Calling raging against the dying of the fucking light “the anger phase” is defeatist pro-AI propaganda. You assume there will be an acceptance phase. I started at acceptance with google deep dream. Now, I fucking fight. And anyone who reaches your “acceptance” phase has become a meat proxy to the stochastic parrot.
Never slop.
Grief is something all have to go through.
Fighting is an expression of anger.I don’t fight, because I am not a programmer.
Don’t ask a Chef how to send us to Venus.
Not my “fight.”Don’t ask a chef what meat they used. Just eat the babies.
Excellent idea for a canteen ingredient! I assume you’ll be providing babies of roosters, bulls, bears, sharks, and other leopards’ babies for carnivores, right?
“First they came for the programmers, and I did not fight, because I am not a programmer.”
Yes, what can a Chef fight here?
Cook silicone? Fry copper?Are you datacenter recycling?
Curious about the context of the original comment (in a scientific way)
Maybe a cis woman fucking a trans woman with a strap on
Pretty sure it’s a style of video where they use creative angles to make female actresses appear to have a penis. I think they do some camera tricks to use an actual penis but without showing the guy with the penis.
Guess it caters to the futa community, which is a different thing than trans porn.
Its for sure this. That being said, they also very poorly photoshop and/or use fake giant dildos

The true evangelist agenda: Replace trans women with Claude.
Sorry to bring it to you, but: the autism part might be more important, and some trans people (even the autistic ones) are cooking their brains with the AI.
I had difficulty understanding this meme, as I am not a programmer (wife is). Only after I read your reply to maria, was I able to piece the framing of this.
But I see the other side of this frame:
both websites are capitalism at their peaks.
Precisely because they don’t want to compensate us correctly, is the reason why “2 🏳️⚧️women” were not hired to do either tasks.
Why fairly compensate, when labor can be stolen⸮inb4
for the folks that don’t know, I am black anarchist, we should all earn our means of production. VCs like Bluesky Social PBC & Microsoft can commission us.
But they are in the interest of theft. So,Jesse, what the fuck are talking about.
BlueSky, GitHub, & Pornhub are all capitalist websites: they are extracting wealth from users.
Blatantly goons need not get paid.
Not sure if you should use the word “goons” next to the orange website in that way.
On the other hand, maybe you should.
I’m using the word from the meaning before wankers decided “following instructions” was the same profession.
And what does that have to do with this meme?
Seeing the opposite perspective of a critique?
You know there are 10 characters with different perspectives on this meme, right?has literacy really died?
how do you read manga, and not read perspectives of multiple characters, and not empathize their positions? I am empathizing with the villains of the meme, workers vs capitalists.

Seriously dude wtf are you talking about? Are you having a psychotic episode or something?
Are you aware this is a post about a pornhub comment where the joke is trans women are good at programming???
Reread my response from the top.
I learned Chloé used this meme to talk about programming.
I also see programming corporations, capitalists, do not pay what we are owed.
Neither does Bluesky PBC, or Pornhub.Why are you having difficulty comprehending basic characters in this meme?
Okay? Like yes, we live in a capitalist society, what an astute observation, but it’s like 3rd degree relevant to the meme at best.
Why not point out that ISPs that you’re using to post this comment are capitalist corporations, or that the device you’re typing your comments on are made by capitalist corporations?
Dude, it’s a meme about a pornhub comment. It doesn’t need a literary review of it’s “”“characters”“”
My confusion is why you would post something so irrelevant to the meme in the first place?
This is about open source, the two trans women were never going to be paid. Instead of a trans woman, a vibe coder came up with it, whatever the project is.
Not all repositories in github are OS.
Even in the event this is gratis development, there’s not enough trans women to do all talks sloppers demand.
this topic really matters to u, hm? every second post or so of yours is about on this topic.
well,
…
yea…
i guess being angry at ai is easier than admitting to myself i’ve wasted 4 years of my life (and counting) studying for a job that won’t exist by the time i’m out of uni…
and, it feels like recently ai just turned everything i cared about to shit. art, writing, programming, gaming, computers in general really
i should care about more things
Nah, you’re valid for this. Anger has purpose. You could resign yourself to the sad life of AI dominance, or you can get mad and set fire to a data center.
Yknow? This really begs the question about why more data centers aren’t being burned down… 💅🔥
First date rule
FR THOOOUGH.
I WANTED TO GO ON THE DATE TO THE WOODS TO MICROWAVE ROCKS SO BAD, BUT SHE (my ex) SAID IT WAS JUST A JOKE 😭
The job is going to keep existing, but companies really don’t want to hire people right now, specially at entry level
I usually only see this obsession with… u know… peeps within the bubble.
but yea I get that its kinda a coping mechanism. it hit em similarly, maybe not as strongly and things do suck big time rn. Anyway I looked at wonderful paintings in a museum today. awesome stuff, really expressive and just - strong.
I have yet to see this “bubble” of anti-AI sentiment. Its impossible to be completely locked in a anti-AI feedback loop when the entire world around you is pushing it constantly.
Yes, people can get stuck surrounded by ideas and misconceptions in a way that creates a harmful feedback loop, for sure. Not once, however, have I heard an argument against the growing anti-AI movement that wasn’t just meekly defending the slop machine with objectively invalid points.None of us are immune to propaganda and misinformation, but most times I’ve seen activists (or progressives in general) be told to “get out of their bubble” or “see the other side”, it’s nothing more than a convenient way to wrongly paint those arguments as short-sighted or ill-informed.
ye I see what u mean, from both sides. theres things on both sides that the other side usually doesnt know of or actively ignores which… yea, thats polarization iguess.
I feel the same… 6 years spent on 2 degrees to get into game development, and as soon as I graduate from the last one, the aftermath of COVID and then AI burn the industry and cause it to be nearly impossible to get into for the average junior and layoffs are increasing each year… Then people say we gotta just “deal with it and stop complaining” 🙄
I’m tired of it all
Uhhhh you could’ve asked anyone even 10 or 15 years ago and they would’ve told you not to study game dev under any circumstances. AI is making it worse, but there was already immense competition for underpaid and overworked jobs.
i feel this so much :<
honestly i might even be fine with it, build my own ai-free bubble, and just keep doing the things i like the manual way, if my job which i am required to work to survive and which i previously enjoyed hadn’t turned to shit because of ai and is threatened to stop existing entirely threatening my lifelyhood
honestly at that point i think i’m gonna work in something else and just code as a hobby. unless i can find a really cool job it’s the only way i feel like i can code without hating it
i wholeheartedly agree with ya on this. my passion keeps getting messed with.
There is so much to hate about AI, but programming has not been about typing out code letter by letter for a long time, probably before you and I even started doing it. IDEs have had autocompletion and “generating” whole classes / methods / whatever structure for a couple of years now (although deterministically). Low code / no code has been growing in popularity before LLMs. Generative AI is out of pandoras box, there is no way it will vanish out of software development one day. But we’re also not yet at a point where any sales asshole is able or even willing to create effective and resilient systems as we have seen a couple of times in the recent past. Maybe we will never get there.
Concepts and architecture matter more than code, they always have. Focus on the bigger picture and learn to use LLMs as a tool, in ways and situations / workflows where it unarguably works (even if you doubt it), but refuse to become a meat proxy that became unable to answer a slack message without AI. Tech is not the problem, it’s a handful of people ruining it for everyone while getting stupid crazy rich by fucking up our planet and the people living on it. Don’t let it take away your passion for computers, or else they have won.
Oof again super grateful I chose healthcare. They’re still trying to shove ai in but at least for now they know Claude can’t wrangle a wildly verbally aggressive schizophrenic who’s also had a stroke and is perpetually covered in piss out of the dayroom and into the shower for the fifth time today.
AI is a new excuse to not hire junior developers. The financial crisis was another excuse. The dot com bubble was another excuse. Junior developers are needed, but hiring authorities hate to employ them.
AI is evil; nothing but a marketing buzzword created by a delusional cult of oligarchs. It holds back a lot of the potential of machine learning while providing cover for the layoffs they already wanted and buying out computational power for the next decade. People frankly aren’t angry enough.
wait why does it hold back machine learning? I feel that recent transcription models, genome approximators and classifiers are quite something and large-scale experiments on new problem spaces are green-lit much quicker than before. i personally feel that because the space is so big, there are many more attempts made to use ML systems using those same modern architectures to help in new domains or optimize existing ones.
I am very irritated by the focus on language models and image / video /audio predictors and feel that too many resources are being used exclusively for those. The overall impact is obviously trampling down any of the good stuff.

This is basically the issue, especially in regards to the monopolization of hardware by big LLM companies. It locks out smaller scale developers who might’ve been able to create and train more niche models. People waste time trying to create universal tools when more specialized efforts really are the most game changing.
I wish AI were so benign that “2 posts in a month” could be considered excessive, but it’s not.
yea I know it really is excessive even in the news that generally dont cover this stuff.
it really is something where if ur just strongly against the whole agentic whatevers and stuff… its very hard to ignore. and ye that sucks big time.
Well, it is kinda all over the news, big corps are trying to push it everywhere and there are a lot of reasons to be angry about it and think it is unethical to use it
yeye its just that… everyone else posting so frequently about it is within the bubble.
Also happens outside the bubble, I sometimes post a lot about it because it’s so infuriating, it affected multiple of my hobbies and my career in so many negative ways…
its quite a downhill time for individuals rn I think. but I believe art will remain being a thing peeps appreciate and sloppy things will quiet down cuz yea - peeps don’t like em as much.
Art should be fine, but I fear that passion will no longer be the same in everything related to code. It’s harder to convince people that code is also a way to express yourself, that it should not be touched by AI, so I fear that what I liked will never be the same
oooooh yes I can see that. that is sad, lots of shader ideas originate thru trying
Art is being hit quite hard to be honest… It’ll still exist as a hobby, but as a career it’s getting harder to get into as more and more companies are replacing it with AI.
Look at Nvidia constantly trying to improve their AI to make game-ready 3D assets. It’s not totally there yet, but they’re determined to do so… So not even 3D art is safe. And that just means in the future everyone’s going to be paying same full price for games that visually and coding-wise has been made with AI. Same price, significantly less quality
I just pray they don’t manage to get it 100% replacement, but I’m also not holding my breath anymore…
It does comfort me that there is a lot of backlash to AI art in games for now… I just hope it doesn’t become normalised and more accepted over the years.
hwwwwww yes I also hope that the backlash keeps studios from switching to the stuff, that would suck big time. I love looking at a normal map and go “wow, someone made this AND the reflection map” and sit there in awe… sounds like im joking but I’m not.
so far the biggest backlash I’ve seen was with Professor Layton, but that may be my bubble speaking.
100% replacement would require a human-like understanding of “what’s good”, and thats muuuuch harder to optimize for than math and code so I’m bullish on the human creativity and ideas front for now buuuuut u unfortunately never know.
Texture/material creation is fun :3 I’ve got a few tileable procedural material projects I need to finish sometime when I have the time… But seeing it come together is always nice
And yeah, quite a few AAA games have been caught using AI art (multiple times) and had some large backlash too which is comforting
