When I throw on a vpn to watch it, on Bluesky itโ€™s dubbed in English ( probably ai). Opening it on actual YouTube brings the original audio in. Iโ€™ve never encountered this before.

Seven more families are now suing OpenAI over ChatGPT's role in suicides, delusions | TechCrunch In one case, 23-year-old Zane Shamblin had a conversation with ChatGPT that lasted more than four hours.

Seven *more* families?
And this is only the families who have the means to sue, and (critically) the families who FOUND OUT.

How many more vulnerable people has ChatGPT convinced? Will we ever know?

Fuck all this.

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?
Youโ€™re prompting with Hitler!
GenAI is a Fascist Project!
Try using your brain instead
Donโ€™t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaireโ€™s control

    Keywords
    Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography 

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

    Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
    In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
    As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that โ€œadult onlyโ€ content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processorโ€™s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as โ€œadult onlyโ€;
    As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has โ€œdeindexedโ€ all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
    This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

Just reminded of the Oglaf strip with the crow lawyer.

(One of the few safe for work strips, but the rest of the comics are very smutty.)
