This is a huge crisis that we must do our part on by rejecting generative AI. The more it infiltrates our systems, the more fucked we are over time.

The wave of generative AI CEOs complaining people don't use their products is kind of disgusting. You pushed something the marketplace is rejecting and now you whine about it. What kind of capitalist are you? Oh, that's right, the deeply parasitical yet incompetent at convincing the host kind.

It's always a good time to listen to "Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury" (although I'm not sure why the only available version is Russian subbed)

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. 
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. 
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

It's #IndiePress day

Here are some fabulous #indie #horror presses (& a few non-indie) that have all confirmed they will NEVER use or accept AI/LLM generated content- not for writing NOR art #NoToAI

And they ALL publish awesome fiction, too. Support & follow these fine folks (And #FuckAI)

Learning to walk (draw) again.This is the first attempt at a 4 panel comic for a "intro to manga class". Instruction was to do each panel with a description. The description became part of the overall comic and cannot work without it. I like it but, I feel it is too many words...
