Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

"pauschale Schuldzuweisungen gepaart mit einem immer stärker um sich greifenden politischen Aktivismus“ mache ich mir als T-Shirt 🥰

Grok’s ‘spicy’ video setting instantly made me Taylor Swift nude deepfakes I didn’t even ask it to take her clothes off.

It is no accident that the early use cases for "genAI" consumer products revolve around the sexual harassment, abuse, and exploitation of women in power. It is no accident that the technology is immediately embraced as a tool of patriarchy and gender-based violence.

Der Job: in einem großen deutschen Konzern-Verlag "Hemmschwellen" gegen KI "abzubauen"
Die Vergütung: Mindestlohn

(kein Witz, es handelt sich um eine Ausschreibung für Werkstudent*innen)

Unfassbar dass das jetzt erst 100 Tage waren, also das heißt wir haben NOCH NICHT MAL DIE HÄLFTE geschafft

Oasis, war das nicht der erste Name von Pur?

Ein Foto der Gruppe PUR. Musiker wäre die falsche Bezeichnung.

Danke für alles, Oasis

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

"He's a piece of shit, but let's get the political science stuff out of the way," Steven told me when I asked if he thought support of Tesla could be considered apolitical. "Elon Musk has platformed white supremacists and antisemites on X. He got rid of all the moderation. He put back accounts that were clearly neo-Nazis. He's changed algorithms to promote that type of hate. Him and DOGE did massive cuts in the government, including our civil services. He's cut cancer research. Did I mention he was a giant piece of shit?" "He's cut our aid to Africa, which Will result, without exaggeration, in millions of women and children and innocent people dying. Millions," he said. "I'm not a big fan of people who give the Hitler salute. I mean, I'm kind of fussy like that. He gave it twice at Trump's inauguration," he continued. "He's a Nazi. And he cheats at video games. You have another question?"

🤩 Toll! Ich hatte noch eine ganze Weile zwei rosafarbene Aushänge "PREFAB SPROUT ASK THAT YOU PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SMOKING IN THE HALL TONIGHT" in der Wohnung aber sie haben sich aufgelöst

Da war ich auch 😍

people are so weird about the radicalization of men thing.

if i told you that one social group was becoming violent and aggressive in response to a social group that they've traditionally repressed gaining resources and power, it would be immediately comprehensible.

Zum ersten Mal seit Jahren höre ich die Aufnahmen, die ich im Frühjahr 2000 bei den Konzerten von Prefab Sprout in Bristol und Coventry aus dem Publikum gemacht habe. Ich höre die Stimme meiner Frau und wie ich lache, wir waren schon erwachsen. Eigentlich müsste ich saugen und den Boden wischen

Go for it. I don't even care any more.

"Of course I understand what it's like to be discriminated against!"

"I'm a member of the most discriminsted-against group--"

*a bunch of people try to stop me*

"Professors..."

*a mob claws at me like a zombie movie*

*my mom weeps, begging me to stop*

"... who game."

Der Beat ist treibend, schleppend oder stolpernd, ja was denn sonst mein Gott

Screenshot eines Artikelausschnitts mit dem Text: Treibender Beat, verzerrter Verstärker, roh und direkt - so klingt die "Erregung öffentlicher Erregung" bei einer Bandprobe. Ihr Sound erinnert an eine Zeit, in der Musik noch Ecken und Kanten hatte: laut, unbequem und voller Energie.

I have to admit I especially dislike Fitzcarraldo. The cover material is impractical and the typography is awful 😓
