Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I know it just released but can we get a silksong sequel thay takes place inside RFK Jr.'s brain?

SOTD: DedCool Sunlit Blooms. Why do I not wear this one more often? It seems so perfect for typical Bay Area weather, especially when transitioning from summer to fall! The salty vanilla almost feels caramel-y, but it’s not too heavy for warmer weather imo? I think the florals help it feel lighter?

My toxic trait is I make SOTD posts without scrolling through other people’s posts, a lot of the time. For some reason, I like to cross-post my Bluesky posts (as screenshots) to my Instagram stories. (I do engage more with other people’s content on IG, so y’all might want to follow me there too?)

SOTD: Eauso Vert Fruto Oscuro. Yes, it is still warm enough outside to wear shorts. But it’s September, damn it! I must wear the fall scents now! This is my first full wear test of Fruto Oscuro. It smells like juicy, dark red fruits, it’s spicy, it’s woody… What’s not to like? Might be a new fave!

okay this is it this is the one that finally broke me

when president garfield was dying, they shoved a bunch of stuff up his butt in the hopes it would save him. it didn't work, in fact it definitely killed him quicker. but if any white house guys are reading this: you're the chosen one, you can make it work

i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Hey Firefox users.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Omg even if it's not real just let me Have this

It's like staying up late to see if Santa is real but we're hoping Santa's dead

Technically I own a tiny amount of VS S&C, but I don’t want to support VS as a brand by repurchasing it, and I don’t want to run out of the last little bit of S&C I have left. I like being able to compare it to similar fragrances by smelling it on the atomizer

SOTN: Ledda 16 Scenic Rose. I wanted to pick something as close to VS Strawberries & Champagne as possible, since my inner child needs comfort today 😭 This is like if S&C quit drinking and switched to matcha lattes. Kinda makes me want to try a matcha latte & see if it tastes like grass to me?

I just realized this is literally Pokemon Go to the Polls

SOTD: Studio Tanaïs Nymphaea + Le Monde Gourmand Lait de Coco. To people who aren’t “fragheads,” the idea of a “creamy” fragrance might sound gross, but I am admitting to myself (+ the world, I guess) that some “creamy” fragrances are good 🫣 I do like the creamy, coconut-y, floral vibe of this combo

Just counting the days until The Announcement

JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH! This gave me old Google back! It killed the AI results dead!

Y'all need to stop using Duolingo. Your library probably gives you free access to Mango or other language learning programs which haven't been sloppified.

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell.

It's all about AI.

They very much want to use AI.
They very much want to use your art to train AI.
They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

Did a hair animation with the help of a video tutorial by @sharyap.com

I'll link the tutorial in the comments, go check it out!

SOTD: J-Scent Ramune. Of course, it smells like Ramune, but it also smells like those scented markers from the ‘90s/early 2000s. Maybe like a combo of the purplish-pink, purple (grape), and light green (I think? Whichever one was minty?) markers? Very fun, fruity, and nostalgic in multiple ways!

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

I found her gofundme! She's already raised 41.5k of her 45k goal for gas, vehicle maintenance, phone/internet costs (for posting the videos), food and supply drives for the community, and emergency funds in case she gets into legal trouble:

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.
