Would one of these motherfuckers explain why even if AI is that good it's worth the health and safety of minority communities, and if it is then they're free to trade houses with people in Memphis

That sucks and (again to the extent we're having a conversation on communication and I'm sure so many writers have covered it better than me) it's going to be more productive than being like "well we have to work around the fact that the right has a better sales pitch"

I think it kind of gives too much ground to assume the right wing framing is inherently more appealing. "Hey you have to provide for everybody! Your interests will be agressively policed and you will never be able to talk about your feelings or have intimate friendships and also everyone hates you"

Ok not that anyone asked my opinion nor am I going to have good advice for romantic relationships but like.

To the extent that we're having a conversation of how to combat right wing propoaganda that takes guys googling "how do I ask my crush out" and puts them on the path to "women owe you sex"

I lied I'm sorry I'm gonna elaborate but listen everybody is gonna fuck up one time or another and if it's not when they're a kid it'll be when they're an adult and the consequences are a lot higher when you're over 18 and you don't have mom and/or dad or grandma or whoever to catch you safely

It's kinda like the discourse around whether you should have someone clean your house I think.

Like yes that position is OFTEN exploitative under current capitalism but the problem is not the work itself it's that the financial insentives suck.

Here is my take on takeout/cooking discourse:

It is none of my fucking business how other people get food into their bodies because I do not know their lives, circumstances, limitations, or practical realities.

But there should be more good, affordable options and the choices suck.

Kian is on Team Fossil!!

@CANINEBLOOD

hey if ur using ai (including grok) ur actively poisoning the people of memphis (a predominantly poc community might I add) and should be ashamed of yourself


Screen cap of an article that says
"But at what cost? The facility is currently operating 33 methane-powered gas turbines to fuel its AI technology despite holding a permit for only 15. The supercomputer facility is located in a poor, predominantly Black Memphis community with historically high rates of pollution-related illness and disproportionate rates of industrial pollutants."

One of the things that folks forget a out GenAi is that when we say "it's bad for the enviroment" that's not some Nebulous thing
It is causing actual real harm to people NOW & often the people it's hurting are bipoc folks & that is by design

Those nimby motherfuckers are hurting our most vulnerable

Less than 24 hours after @acvalens.net broke this story, it was removed from the site following direct intervention from VICEโ€™s owners, who were reportedly uncomfortable with the subject matter.

Censoring a story on censorship is about as 2025 as it gets.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning
