Damo Says

A witch is for life, not just for Halloween.

Ok. Social media break, at least for a few weeks. I spent most of today with excellent humans and I’m gonna focus on that for a bit. If you’re at @gaelcon this year, come play with me. If you know my email, shout me. But if you must stay here, know that you are missed elsewhere.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I would not use it at my job
I would not let it email Bob
It would not write my resume
It would not text my mom, OK?
It can't say if the Chiefs will cover
I do not want it as a lover
I do not want it in my phone
I'd just as soon be left alone
I do not like ChatGPT!
I do not like it, Sam-are-we

Suzanne Harrington: The UK's treatment of Graham Linehan and Kneecap is a study in contrasts "Unlike Linehan, in court charged with harassing a trans teenager and smashing their phone (this was before he urged his online followers to physically attack trans people), Mo Chara’s ‘terrorist’ cha...

Protect trans rights. End the genocide. And stop giving bandwidth (digital or psychological) to bigoted old white guys.*

If you use generative AI, it's an instant block from me. If you come into my comments to argue about it, I am the sacred buzzsaw foretold by the bene gesserit.

Please, can every writer check this and claim what’s theirs. OpenAI is an existential threat.

So, having reviewed the various candidates, The Traitors Ireland is—even just three episodes in—an order of magnitude better than the earlier versions from the UK, US and Australia. Hats off to all involved. Siobhán McSweeney for Áras an Uachtaráin.

Well said. Doubly frustrating that she’s the story when she’s not even the story.

Let that number sink in.

This is how to do it when you’re fighting for the future of your democracy.

It’s all about spreading the love 😉❤️
