I don't think motivating people to move to other platforms to avoid the stupid censorship rules is a good solution. Quite the opposite. There is NO SAFE space for artists nowadays, if we don't fight back this will only get worse and worse

tonight's AI discourse lightning round:

1. LLMs are not people and do not have rights; many real people's rights are being violated in the development and deployment of LLMs

2. if you're really attached to using fake slurs for robots you might want to examine why that is

Nooooooooooooo 😭

Listen. If you didn't want to be seen as the Twitter escape pod, you shouldn't have deliberately fostered a community of people so united by their contempt for arbitrary authority and love of absolute free speech that they were willing to abandon a platform they'd been using for 15 years

Source: I'm Italian and have lived in Japan beforehand + currently so I can compare

There's a big difference between not being super progressive and going full fascist mode. And regardless I can assure you Italy is 10x more sexist, homophobic and racist than Japan, with the added threat of getting beat down just for walking around with the "wrong" skin color or sexual orientation

Nintendo is apparently lobbying the Japanese Government to push back against Generative AI.

Satoshi Asano, a member of Japan’s House of Representatives says Nintendo is choosing to avoid the use of generative AI in order to safeguard its IP.

Screentoned sketch page showing T'khot, a male Miqo'te Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy XIV, shown haggard and grief-stricken right after The Vault dungeon and Haurchefant's death. One of the portraits shows him in a fit of Achillean rage against Archbishop Thordan VII.

Sketchpage of T'khot on the first couple days after The Vault #ffxivart #ffxivwol #ffxivoc

Following in Italy's footsteps huh (first woman Prime Minister there is a neofascist who is tearing the country to shreds and one of the reasons I escaped to Japan. Lovely 🫠)

Sudden headcanon that Meteor may be a decoy WoL for T'khot to mislead his enemies #ffxiv

Israel has KIDNAPPED 497 PEOPLE from 46 COUNTRIES from the Global Sumud Flotilla

This is a HUMANITARIAN MISSION, now it has become a global kidnapping by #Israel

I wish more new artists could see this, please, y'all, share this information. We need to learn that we can use tools to make our lives better if we are not harming anyone's while doing it.
We can't continue to follow imaginary rules. These are harming, and art should not be stressful!

This, please please stop treating everything and art in particular like it's a competition, like you have to be better and earlier than everyone else ffs

This is so heartwarming, I love it! And of course Alisaie would come ahead to advocate for her!!!

Happy International Translation Day to all my translator colleagues around the world!

Affiche rouge avec le slogan « translators are not traitors » et les mots « translators not AI » en surbrillance.

Aujourd'hui, c'est la Saint-Jérôme, saint patron des traducteurices. Et ils sont un paquet à être en grève aujourd'hui pour protester contre la dégradation de nos conditions de travail, mais aussi contre l'usage de l'IA.

C'est l'occasion de partager ce billet : clement-martin.fr/fr/posts/et-...

This tbh 😭

If trans rights get taken away then that opens the door for them to take away others’ rights also. Saying trans rights are human rights is not hyperbole or an exaggeration because you know it’s not so don’t leave anything to chance. especially when dealing with legitimately gleefully evil people.

just guess

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

This whole section really.

What I like about YoshiP is that when introducing upcoming in-game content he has the same energy of a kid showing off his new toy dinosaur #ffxiv

SFW crew, this one's for you!

Tell bsky you stand with NSFW creators and let us have creative freedom with a better labeling system, NOT censorship!

Use that feedback form! #bskycensorship

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.
