THIS is the future we actually wanted

AI still can’t do this

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

OMG BBY HIIIII

there was a point in time we were testing the happy hoodie to help keep mac calm in the back yard and it resulted in maybe the only good tiktok i’ve ever made

I think it should be socially and legally acceptable to smack these clean off somebody's face if they're filming you against your will

Broken Eggs, by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, 1756

not me getting distracted, wandering off, doing a bunch of cooking and cleaning, and then coming back to two emails: one saying the thing I needed to do my job went offline, and one saying it's back up now 💅💅💅

a banner from the fabricland website with some tacky-looking generative imagery of a generic-looking caucasian woman with disproportionate fetish lips, a nose with only one full nostril, and janky-ass hands. the most anatomically incorrect spider is dangling from her witch hat with folds and creases that don't make sense and a fabric that doesn't reflect light consistently. there's that tacky AI light gradient coming from the jack-o-lantern she's holding that doesn't have a proper pumpkin stem.

hey #ottawa any fabric store recs for places that don't use fucking AI? 🤮

balancing the Vibes with incredible news!!!

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

Geordi La Forge Nope/Yes meme, but the yes has laser eyes in the visor: NOPE: "Do Not Comply In Advance" - bossy - already a cliche - implies permission to comply later YES: "Fuck You, Make Me" - leads by example - directs yelling at opposition instead of allies - easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

canadians haven't torched a bunch of yankees this yard in 213 years

People... are allowed to come up with mean names for inanimate objects. If you compare this practice to racial slurs, I'm going to think you believe people of other races hold the same concrete significance and value as inanimate objects. This is one of those slips that does not look good on anyone.

when I say I'm genderfluid what I mean is my gender ranges from "good boy" to "sailor moon baddie"

Fuck, I love my beautiful city.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
