"The Chinese give citizens a social credit score!"

Western tech firms are essentially doing the same thing but in secret. Is that better because they're doing it for profit?

Hello FTL my friend
I've come to jump with you again
Cause the toasters came slowly creeping
While all but Gaeta were sleeping
DRADIS warning, alert Adama, new contact
They're fracking back
It is the Sound
of Cylons

Animated this today. For no special reason.

Adult creators are still getting debanked — and so are others "The line in the sand continues to shift."

Most journalists have moved on from this story. Thank you Mashable and @raxsha.bsky.social for covering

Swelling rage

I even did some animations

I keep drawing and it's slowly getting better...

This also applies to cartoons and comics and basically everything. It doesn’t matter if you have a concept of something already out there. If you love it, do it. Your work will have your unique mark on it by virtue of being made by YOU. (Also two cakes.)

if I see an account post one of those STUPID ai political cartoons that looks like a children's book illustration mixed with default clip art YOU GET THE BLOCK BUTTON

I DON'T CARE IF I AGREE WITH THE SENTIMENT ❌NO AI❌

Now this is journalism.

Point it out. POINT IT THE FUCKOUT. They are PRETENDING to not get it.

People need to keep pushing until payment processors fuck off on the puritanical BS. It is sickening how they would rather lose a huge chunk of their userbase over something harmless. These people depend on Paypal for their careers, Paypal is actively fucking over everyone for, literally, no reason.

Digital illustration of Frinos from the video game Hades 2. Frinos, a large squishy looking green frog with a white stomach, yellow eyes, and an orange mouth, is sitting on a mossy rock with similar rocks in the background and some grass in the foreground. He is surrounded by three small floating green shades who are all looking at him inquisitively. He looks very relaxed and content. The scene is framed by a oval shaped border decorated with silvery opalescent details including the 8 phases of the moon, a moon themed ornament inspired by the ones worn by Frinos and Melinoë, thin threads draped down the sides of the frame that end in little stars, and at the bottom a little heart and Melinoe's laurel wreath.

I know that "man the future sucks I was promised rocket cars" is old hat but fuck me, "the AI that runs the bank's fraud department denied my transaction because it believed my tastes in porn were wrong" is some esoteric dystopian bullshit

Banks are targeting individuals by name because of their "high risk" line of work who are too outspoken. This is why we need you to stand up for nsfw creators

You know you are old when you have lived through

a) a technology not existing at all
b) being refined to something useful and ubiqiitous
c) to it being redundant and young people no longer recognise it.

The Data Center Resistance Has Arrived A new report finds that local opposition to data centers skyrocketed in the second quarter of this year.

Regardless of how many researchers highlight the cultural trends against "AI" data centers, & the increasingly widepread public awareness of the unequal economic & environmental harms of these systems, a lot of tech-pilled ppl will only pay attention once it shows up somewhere like WIRED.

So here:

"Some people don't want to pay money for art"
Okay well I don't want to pay £60 a month for gas, I guess it's ok if I go hose it out of someone else's car, right?
RIGHT?

Starbucks workers are still on strike. Not to nag but, if you can get coffee somewhere else (and not cross a picket line) during their strike, that would be a good thing to do.

I dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

Conversion therapy is quietly rebranding — and targeting trans youths As political attacks on gender-affirming care escalate, parents and experts fear a resurgence of discredited “therapies” that seek to change transgender children’s identities.

Good article. We have reported about "Gender Exploratory Therapy" at EITM for years now - it's a subversive practice akin to "crisis pregnancy centers" that seeks to delay transition until the person gives up on being trans - they will NEVER let the trans teen transition.

We walk as companions! The popular fox and crow adventuring strip is now available as a print as requested.

Sorry that took me forever to draw. I'm so slow these days when it comes to big illustrations.

Game company sows misinformation to cover up union busting, fans fall for it, actual employee posts explaining the employees were fired to prevent the studio unionizing

This is *unacceptable*

Weird guy who thinks he will never die because he got readings of his son’s boners

Weird guy who gets a push alert every time his son gets a boner

People act like all conservatives are the same when the movement has a ton of diverse intellectual traditions. For example:

Bryan Johnson who measures the size of his son’s erections for technofascist reasons

Mike Johnson measures how often his son gets an erection for christofascist reasons

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

"the genie is out of the bottle"

They are so desperate to normalize this as fast as possible.
All quotes I read from companies "embracing AI" are basically

"please just admit it's here to stay, just admit it, accept it, admit that this is the new normal now. It's here, JUST ACCEPT IT!!!!!"
