AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

The amount of people decrying ChatGPT while using AI image generators and vice versa pisses me off so bad I can't see straight. Don't use any of them! They're all based on exploitation of creators and the continued destruction of the environment! ALL of it is bad!

✨I really want to get back to doing pose ref-- to aid in being able to dedicate time to that I'm selling a mega pack of the entire Fat Photo Ref Archive for pay what you want (suggestion of $25)! ✨

There's over 1,000 images and I sorted them all for you!! 📷Check it out here: ko-fi.com/s/4b2db8de71

the shameless, chortling glee with which the "passionate about health" crowd reacts when a fat person dies young has taught me lessons about human nature that I will never forget

Hospital acquired COVID has a 10% fatality rate & is almost completely avoidable with clean air & masking

Why aren’t we doing it? Why aren’t people enraged when someone goes in for care & dies of COVID?

It’s because they think those vulnerable people were going to die soon anyways. It’s eugenics

it is So Cool And Good that once you become a certain level of known that you lose all personhood and instead become a constellation of ideas and loose signifiers for people to interpret as they see fit, divining whatever meaning is most useful for them at the time

You all desperately need to consider the possibility that it’s ok and good actually for disabled people to exist and our existence doesn’t make our lives less real or worthy or human. We’re not a drain on society. We’re not a burden. We’re literally just people.

I support trans rights; I recognise and respect trans people and their right to exist the same as others; I resent and object to the tired lies that bigots promote. Trans rights are human rights.

Reinfections aren’t harmless.
Every time you catch COVID, you increase the risk of long COVID, organ damage, and chronic illness—even if you “felt fine” during the infection.

How are you going to leverage this hostile government takeover?

Remember, there are 24 usable hours in every day and you cannot dissociate during all of them.

Whatever topic you’re thinking of, I have the correct opinion. There, I saved both of us a lot of time.

A prior homeowner planted lemon balm in the ground and I wish I could drag them back here to do control on it every year

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

Friday Afternoon Tea Friday Afternoon is a small family owned, geeky-themed tea company. Here you will find loose leaf tea, custom blends, tea wares and accessories, and educational tastings.Owner Friday Elliott's unique take on blending stems from a neurological oddity known as Lexical-Gustatory Synesthesia. Due to this condition, Friday experiences language (both spoken and written) and abstract concepts as distinct flavor profiles. In short, she literally tastes words and ideas. This "superpower" allows Friday to create blends with a completely unique approach. With a background in herbal remedies as well as culinary arts and education, she shares her Tea Wizardry with people all over the world.

All classes listed here. Please share around, let's fill 'em up! xoxo

Nostalgia for something that never existed is a deep underpinning of both conservatism as a whole and fascism.

It’s also honestly funny to watch these children screech about democratizing art or whatever when what they’re doing is more akin to gentrification.

When you hear billionaires and bosses sing the praises of AI making human workers unnecessary, I urge you to remember: the streets and alleys and graveyards are all full to bursting with the human workers the bosses "made unnecessary."

openai’s new ghibli “generator” is explicitly an intentional attempt at humiliation of a prominent objector

openai is culturally fascist as well as functionally fascist

it’s not an accident

This is a good read on why AI generated art is so beloved by fascists

College was where I became an exvangelical, but I was only able to go due to privilege, so this is such a good point.

go touch grass:
- overused
- often requires bowing, difficult for people with bad back
- feels like taking a stroll around the busy neighborhood

go touch fern:
- edgy, exciting
- more elevation options for people with limited mobility
- feels like taking a stroll among big bugs in the Carboniferous

Support the things you love. Enjoying them silently isn't enough anymore. Support the things you love or they will disappear, and your heart will suffer. Support the things you love.

I just lost a potential com as it seems it was a scam, and the money was going to seriously help me out so I really need a few art coms to make up for that.

info is here, home.117.zone#commission, but if you wanna com fat characters I can give you 15% off.
