Figures
Weeeeeeell given she said 'charity' and not 'taxes', I think we can guess where she stopped her cooperation with critics

Yeah but did she hand over all her profits to the original and pay compensation on top for theft of identity?

Yeah, pretty much

I'm fortunate enough to be in an artistic community that already had this sense of solidarity against AI, but I know I'm privileged that way, and I really hope a lot of people hear this and are reminded they can find hope in their communities

- for a software they want to replace our relationships, as well as our humanity and our knowledge.

Really good monologue from Zitron this week.
Building friendships and solidarity, celebrating and lamenting and working together with others really is the best way to fight back against the AI BS on a regular basis, because when we're lonely we're easier to frighten into passivity, we're easier prey

It really sounds like it

I'd definitely just dive straight in, find the emails and shoot off a couple of messages, but at the same time social media's monopoly on communication makes it kind of feel like overstepping my bounds, which also kind of sucks /sigh

"[...] I encourage you to focus on one thing: SOLIDARITY. [There are people that feel like you] and they are Everywhere. [...] If you feel dark or lonely or lost or ground down by everything, know that many of us do too."

Ugh is right
It's absurd we still have to rely on these sites to keep in contact

I'm meeting so many cool people these days, and I really really wish they'd just give me a business card instead of their damn IG account.
Give me your email address. I will hoard it and remember it to my dying day

People don't need charity if paid properly!!!!!

Exactly!! What an absolutely stunning sentence

Also that's awful, but makes sense. Millionaires and billionaires couldn't exist without theft, after all

Been arguing with myself on whether or not to open up my IG again, if nothing else then as a phone book, but needing more than 26% bots to justify a no

Now I find out it's 50% ads

50% ads + 26% bots? No

No no no no no

Rabbit Rabbit

No waaaaaay!!
I didn't know about that one!!!

Also it's a way to draw attention back to how morally superior millionaires and billionaires are.
The millionaire above is applauded for saying the rich shouldn't exist, but the millions of people on the street, dying from poverty, are morally bankrupt as it's "their own fault they're homeless"

English is such a weird language, I swear--

Yup

Something like that, yeah
I was thinking it was to appease the "I can't live without an algo telling me what to like" crowd - so a marketing ploy

But I guess they're essentially the same strategy

I forgot how funny this is and how hilarious it was to work on it!
THANKS AGAIN for letting me work on it, Diana!!

IT is
I guess it can't be helped when they're all neoliberals /shakes head

I just think it'd be neat if we could communicate with each other and not just with an algorithm, is all I'm saying

/clears throat/
Charity is a way for the quality to control who are worthy of help and who are not. Taxes are a tool to distribute money in a way that ensures everyone have a security net, because taxes enables a welfare system that benefits everyone equally

/sigh
Idk about you but I think polls would've been more useful. Would be nice if creators were told what our followers like or dislike, and not just whatever commercial algorithm bluesky has going on

Don't threaten us with a good time!

#dailyart 58: Knight | nightmare - and a goodbye to October, was fun to do the double topics daily, but I'll take a break and paint some birds ~

Idk having a roof over my head and no evil landlord to hound me sounds pretty nice

For real!

Though I think it's probably too late to try to shame them into submission

Pretty much!
