potted meat-golem

the Democrats should announce that they will not renew any contracts with XAI, Palantir, Tesla, or SpaceX and bankrupt the fucking tech right. announce that you have the votes to ban crypto too.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

you're the reason my org is switching to libreoffice.

Concept art of Rosalind Lutece's wardrobe and outfit construction from Bioshock Infinite, drawn by Claire Hummel

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good

Wisconsin's Age Verification bill [which also targets VPNs] has passed both committees.

Folks in that state need to contact your senators and demand they oppose this bill!

action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/wiscons...

They're trying to use AI to run their banks and flag people who're trying to sell legal, unharmful goods as "high risk fraud". This should scare everyone, bc you know how cancerous censorship can be. Call them! #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

I know everyone wants Tartakovsky to do more passion projects like Fixed, the movie about the dog losing his balls, but if I'm being completely honest, I wouldn't mind seeing him do more action stuff like this again.

If you ‘love the open web’ you wouldn’t have any need to censor…… on top of the self flagging/tags many artists already do.

Your new TOS is a complete pivot and it’s not in the interest of the majority of your base. Moderation in favor of purity culture is not “free and open”
#blueskycensorship

Don't forget that paypros were also largely responsible for other censorship issues too. It always comes down to the money. So, do not stop the pressure on these companies just because we are mad at bsky too!

Do NOT believe the misinfo going around

There absolutely have been MASSIVE TOS updates

Most notably:

1) Specifying no FICTIONAL noncon
2) No "dangerous" kink
3) No DISCUSSING self harm, suicide, or substance abuse unless its "educational"

So what can we DO about it?

there is no hyperbole in this

apparently its just one person working on the game but quite an important one so fuck that and if you own it leave a review

Holy crap!

There's an ACTUAL NUMBER for PayPal in this!

PayPal is NOTORIOUS for never giving out numbers!!! This is pure gold!

This petition has less than half the signatures of the paypro one, and while I'm really happy we've done so well with that and should keep spreading it every day and get more signatures, bill C-2 is a disastrous piece of legislation and is arguably more important

I think the *real* AI arms race is going to be which country realizes they’re being sold snake oil so they can free up their monetary and energy resources for projects that are actually helpful for humanity.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

The short answer: the Heritage Foundation have been paying influencers to discredit hormonal birth control for at least 7–8 years now

Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail.

Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.

Suppressing all my willpower to not scream "no shit!" at the top of my lungs.

this... is where things get complicated. we'll get there
(if the book finds an audience that is XD)

I cannot stress enough: you cannot give an inch on this issue.

The moment you start accepting media using genAI for "small" things or just tiny aspects of production, they will only start outsourcing more of the process to AI

This is how the smallest end of the wedge is driven in against laborers

THEY MADE THAT SHIT. WITH THEIR HANDS.

they're designed to cause Generally Grievous damage.

An edit of the "I GUESS" comic meme. A doodle of legion from the Mass Effect series of games. In the first panel he is standing with his arms crossed. In the second panel he is throwing his arms up and saying "I GETH".

This edit was sitting in my brain for years.

this is death of the soul.
