Shoutout to everyone who’s been valiantly escaping the AI-riddled hellworlds of Google Docs and Microsoft Word. 🙏 Now, you can make your exit from the LLM-industrial-productivity-complex a lot faster.

Introducing…

How often will this be allowed to happen again and again? What a world to have to live in. Take action whatever it is, be better than all of this.

Thank you to Divya for making sure we all know what's happening 🫂

Don't let them kill free speech, call your reps ahead of Thursday when bills including KOSA will be discussed again

listen i love ao3 as much as the next guy but ive seen people quit fic writing over the past few years because people comment and engage with authors way less, and then everyone still freaks out when ao3 goes down- if a fic is irreplaceable to u, let the author know!

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

supposedly that fancy new Super Mario Galaxy text generator is AI-based.
If you'd like some AI-free generators, I've got a few hundred in the Death Generator!

carys-the-ninth: "The magic system is never fully explained" yeah that's how life works. Imagine having a story set in modern day America and the characters have several pages of exposition on combustion engines and telecommunication networks before we get to the plot

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

idk whats more sad

microsoft getting so offended by the word "slop" that they lock their discord server or the fact there's people actively on a microsoft discord server

Girl's flat as a board

The way digital media gets so easily ripped out of people's hands despite paying a subscription for it, of course physical media is going to comeback. Once you own that DVD, CD, Vinyl, etc, they can't snatch it from you.

Time to boycott Shogakukan

“And who pays for that??” Chuds when talking about free housing

Your taxes just killed children in Iran btw

I find AI companies clear intent to use an abuse the UK for all it's worth then bounce, and the UK government allowing it because they think it'll make them rich fascinating.

It's like watching children be tricked out of their candy. But their candy is an entire nations wealth and lively hood.

I’m so sick of this shit. I have no more patience. “But AI is good at—“ I don’t care. I don’t give one rusty fuck. I don’t care what it’s good at. It is a tool for the rich to oppress and deskill workers and make us fucking serfs. I DON’T CARE. Get that God damn boot out of your servile mouth.

this feels like a good time to pull this one out of my drafts 😪

Tumblr post by mercurialmilk: screenshot of a comment that reads "I guess you could interpret it that way if you wanted something to be upset about" with caption: new reaction image for 'posting something on the internet and having it be wildly misinterpreted'

oh this is becoming a regular in my lexicon

AI does not "assist" translators, it just makes their work harder, brings down the quality, and impacts their pay. 😭

good morning

kasane browto

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE

it will result in dead trans people

and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing

you see the pipeline right?

we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die

WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

According to payment processors, purchasing fictional sexy art is grossly immoral.

Betting on school children getting blown up is fine though.

Neat, burn everything down, why the fuck not?
