@jaffathecake @fennix fyi you can ignore people while ostensibly engaging them. this is easy to do if you deliberately do not address the actual points people are making and instead focus on semantics.

@jaffathecake @fasterandworse @duke_of_germany good job not addressing what i was actually saying

@jaffathecake @fasterandworse @duke_of_germany excuse me, semantics. so someone arguing that they feel like you are setting rhetoric up to dismiss others as "anti-ai crazies" is putting words in your mouth, but someone making a rhetorical point about consent is comparing you personally to a rapist and that's not putting words in their mouth. got it.

@jaffathecake @fasterandworse @duke_of_germany well yeah, there's a comparison being made to rape. that's the point. i'm not debating this either. i am simply pointing out that nobody called you a rapist.

@jaffathecake @fasterandworse @duke_of_germany show me where they said you personally are like a rapist. all i see is a rhetorical point about consent using charged language.

@jaffathecake @fasterandworse @duke_of_germany where did someone compare you to a rapist, jake?
