GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

It's that time: ShortBox Comics Fair is here!

Over 140+ all-new, original comics created by artists from around the world, gathered exclusively in one place -for October only!

And it's all online, with all digital comics: no shipping, no waiting, no travelling.

In times when the hate-spreaders rule, we need to cherish love and kindness as our true strength.

🙏🧡 Thank you Mrs Goodall.

Happy 40th anniversary to "Thundercats".

Basically, all of the controllers of capital got fooled into purchasing an ocean of magic beans and once they reach the top of their beanstocks, they’ll all come tumbling down. De-fi-fo-fum.

A lot of people I talk to don’t seem to realize that our entire economy is so deep into betting on the success of AI that the bubble bursting will lead to a devastating crash and recession. If you think things are bad now, just wait. It’s why they are essentially forcing it down our throats.

We're about halfway through our 666-minute *FREE* giveaway of Brütal Legend on itch.io, as we honor the life of Ozzy, our Guardian of Metal: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

Don't fret. You've got about 333 minutes left to grab it.

🤘 🖤 🎸

WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for.

Stop using WeTransfer.

WeTransfer TOS says they can use all your uploaded content for genAI

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics: "The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!" And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.

10 (ish) weeks away from 150+ all-new, original digital comics debuting at SBCF 2025!

Don't buy graphic novels from Amazon. Buy them from comic shops. The ease and cost just aren't worth it.

So it's not real. #AI is a total scam, or at best a big gamble on a sophisticated averaging programme. Yet the #British #Labour Government wants to give away the rights of the workers in its lucrative creative industries to techbros in the hope #AI might one day make a profit.

El buscador de Google está tan roto a propósito que si buscas "cuántas piedras debo comer al día", una de las sugerencias es un tuit que dice que "hay que comer al menos una pequeña piedra al día", siendo básicamente un copia y pega de un artículo de The Onion como si fuera una recomendación real.

True, but fighting is only worth it if there is something to fight for. Which I think was the intention of the post.

<MAKE SURE TO MODIFY> Hello, I post photos and share content and text, both personal (pictures of my self, family and friends) and share work that I own the Copyrights to, on Instagram and Facebook. A few days ago I heard the news that EDPB will granted Meta the right to train their AI on public posts on Instagram and Facebook. My only option for dealing with this is to "opt-out". There are a series of problems with this: 1. I only heard of this AFTER Meta has already started trawling through public posts. News reports differ, but I have the impression that they started already on the 14th of April, which means that its too late to opt-out due to the nature of these AI models and how they are trained. 2. Even if I do Opt-out, others on social media are uploading images and content related to me, that can be tied to me through these AI in ways that would violate GDPR. 3. There are others who upload my copyright protected material, both with and without permissions from me, that I now have to reach out to and plead to opt-out of AI training in time to avoid my work from being used. 4. If Meta trains a model like LLAMA and uploads the weights as part of an "Open Source" project, my data will be included in perpetuity. This seems like a bad decision from EDPB that defies the interests of European citizens and my rights under GDPR, data protection and international copyright agreements like the Berne Convention Article 9(2) (because companies train AI models on photographers and artists works to compete with them). I would like to know if you intend to flag this or escalate a case to be taken up in the EDPB. Looking forward to you response. Regards, <YOUR NAME HERE>
