So OpenAI thinks the solution to deepfake videos from its new product is to require people to sign up in order to demand their image is not used inappropriately? You must opt-in before you can opt-out? Got it. Great. Good. Yeah nah. Good. Great. Fine.

E-bikes are an absolute game-changer in terms of giving more people the option of going car-light or car-free, but adoption is threatened by the ongoing moral panic. As the article notes, the solution is not restrictions on e-bikes, but creating more infrastructure to support e-bike riders. 1/2

what then!!

4 frame comic. someone off-frame with a mic is interviewing passersby. they ask a man in a suit and sunglasses : sir! do you think the left's strategy to call everyone they disagree with "nazis" is helpful in any way? well I don't think american conservatism or trumpism are the same as nazism. they have similarities, but I think maga has fresh horrors in store that we can't yet comprehend. it's not nazism, but it's their own brand of never- seen-before, polyester- clad, ai-generated slop fascism. I think the most similar thing between "maga" and "nazi" is that there will come a day when they will evoke an equal sentiment of disgust in society.

Similarities

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

i'm going to cuck dudes with AI girlfriends by fucking the computer

NDIS can now deliver debts to disabled people if they get things wrong, even though new permanent rules aren't in place

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Make Nazis afraid again.

Make them afraid to spout hate.

Make them afraid to show their faces.

Make them afraid to exist openly.

They broke the social contract.

They want to kill anyone not like them.

This shames them.

This weakens them.

This protects their targets.

This ends fascism.

"Enshittification" factually depends on platforms being at the start. "good to their users" and when it started Black people IMMEDIATELY said

these platforms were never good to us

and COLLECTIVELY

Media , Tech , Journalism< Philanthropy

"shut up we don't care"

Dudes rock

My anti-censorship stance has basically nothing to do with how I feel about any particular kind of potentially-targeted content and everything to do with the fact that I do not trust corporations or governments as far as I can throw them with the authority to make that determination.

Oh but Jen Shaw goes to jail for it (these are jokes because my brain is rotted on Real Housewives of Salt Lake)

Tapping the glass, for reasons.

Turns out they're adding neopronouns to the next Mortal Kombat.

FINISH XER
FINISH FAE
and the like.

Sub-Zero is a she/they penguin-kin, and Baraka has no pronouns, only "Baraka".

Wait till they start generating videos of mass shooters in cctv style with them wearing political shirts and pushing it within minutes of a mass shooting on Twitter. This is absolutely corrosive to any sort of trust in society.

OzHarvest and Woolworths partnership reaches 100 million meals OzHarvest and Woolworths have marked a milestone, providing the equivalent of 100 million meals to Australians in need.

Yeah that's not a thing to celebrate
We need welfare above the poverty line and supermarkets to price their food to sell rather than exploit a necessity

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Just reposting for help. I’d really appreciate it.

I love all the emails I get that are like:

"JOB SEEKING IS HARD! Here's these convoluted tricks that take endless hours to do that will (not) possibly help get your resume seen by a human!"

And none of these things ask the real question of "Why are places making it so hard to apply for a job?"

This is the same pathology applied to mass shooters and terrorists. This is the beginning of the move to force medical bodies to pathologize trans people as inherently prone to violence and dangerous.

LGTBQ+ youth disproportionately experience homelessness compared to their straight and cis peers. In the US, up to 40% of unhoused youth identify as LGBTQ+.

That’s why this series was created - to provide support, essential tips, and resources to youth who are so often overlooked by the system.

“But (Social Media Platform) doesn’t LIKE that language!”

Then either edit the audio to match the subtitles, change what you’re making, or realize that -actually- unless it’s -excessive- swearing within the first 2 seconds they actually -do not care- about the language used all that much.

Did you know that you shouldn’t be censoring your subtitles?

Subtitles are to help something with audio be more accessible.

By censoring or “pg-ing” your subtitles you’re making parts of what you make not properly accessible to people.

They call it Department of corrections because Department of human trafficking Indigenous people for profit doesn't sound nice.

He did not put on shiro cam, I feel duped.

I’m really in a bind right now financially and would appreciate any help. Due to some circumstances, I’m waiting for my new job to start but out of my old job. I have rent covered and basic expenses but no money for food for me or family
