i mean, as long as we keep it 🏳️‍⚧️, i'm fine with it

Nonstop Nut November

not sure whether you realize this or not but what you're saying is very very dumb and you should stop saying it

Something crazy about the US and international copyright enforcement regime is that they consistently criminalize digital archiving when it is done for pro-social reasons, but consistently protect the reuse of archived materials by other parties when it is for commercial reasons

kind of wild just how much of modern day living is millions of people saying “we don’t want this, it’s dumb, bad, and evil” and then like 10 dudes going “lol too bad” and then they get their way

Good job New York, now Zohran Mamdani is gonna enact SANRIO LAW (everyone gets free plushies)

simple pixel art based on the "sickos" meme image format from the famous Stan Kelly comic of the guy with the "sickos" shirt looking through the window. In this version a smiling emoji-like pixel cat is peering through the window and saying in a speech bubble "YES, HA HA HA... YES!" There are a few pixel stars and a crescent moon behind the cat face

pixel art sickos:

4 frame comic. A guy with an American flag t shirt asks a woman with a Cochran Mamdani shirt : what do you care if Mamdani wins or loses? You're not even American. She replies : Americans have made sure through centuries of imperialism that whatever choice they make, the whole world will face the consequences. We are tired of hearing the gerontocrats standing between fascists and power telling us that the only way to defeat the far-right is to always move farther right ourselves. We want leaders who have the courage to stand up for the ideals, not political weathervanes willing to say whatever gets them closer to power,

The world is watching.

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

“Jonathan Bailey is
so hot”

imagine how good it must've felt for the first person to ever complain, i mean we haven't quit since

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

It's on my to-watch list! After I finish the game lol

Now for Halloween Day 2, slutty dark elf thing? (My husband is a master at improvising random costumes, I just got the elf ears lol)

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement.

After his Frankenstein Q&A at the Chinese Theater, Guillermo del Toro asked the audience to scream “FUCK AI.”

qué guapos 😍

Me in a Jedi/vaguely-Obi-Wan-inspired outfit with a blue lightsaber.

Late, but, my Halloween outfit 🎃👻 #MayTheForceBeWithYou

I need "No hate, but give your money away, shorties" on a t-shirt.

The thing about the relentless march of time is that you only get an ending (happy or otherwise) in fiction. Here in the real world no cause is ever lost forever even though we may not live to see it prevail. This is both hope and cautionary tale.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I also liked this vertical one :)

I'm a fan of the "taking my Pokémon to a cafe right before I evolve them" genre

I think about this in how the guy who ran MySpace sold his company and then traveled the world doing photography, while the guy who runs Facebook never let it go and has gone out of his way to destroy democracy in order to gain more power.

"Under the guise of technological inevitability, companies are using the AI boom to rewrite the social contract — laying off employees, rehiring them at lower wages, intensifying workloads, and normalizing precarity. [...] AI is not the cause of the layoffs but their justification."

It's more than ok to me hehe 😅
