It's funny how every new technology device that we buy now.
The first thing we all have to do is look up how to turn off AI.
What a future we are in

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors โ€œWith fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.โ€

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

I canโ€™t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something thatโ€™s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

Batman slapping Robin meme with the caption, an "18+" sign being over Batman's face while Bluesky's logo is over Robin's.

Robin as Bluesky: "No discussing self-harm, suicide, abuse (sexual, drugs, substance, etc.) unless it's educationalโ€”!!!"

Batman as 18+ creators (or non-professionals in general): "Artists are not teachers or therapists. We are not obligated to teach you anything."

I have zero patience for people who cannot distinguish between reality and fiction. Censorship is not the answer - they're coming for you next.

In the light of recent developments, I wanna say that I'm 100% anti-censorship and pro "create and enjoy whatever fiction you want". It's one thing not wanting to consume dark fiction yourself and not wanting it to exist at all. Your personal discomfort doesn't mean it should be banned or illegal.

Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here.

You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored.

The EU still wants to scan all your chats โ€“ and the rules could come into force by October 2025 Chat Control is back on the lawmakers' table

www.techradar.com/computing/cy...

So now that Denmark holds the EU presidency, theyre pushing Chat Control back onto the European Parliament again. That means breaking encryption & automatically scanning & flagging all private communications online.

EU fam, contact your reps:

The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos

The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided

You Will Be Impacted

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scannedโ€”without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union.

Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications.

Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communicationsโ€”including sensitive financial, medical, and private dataโ€”to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors.

Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charterโ€”rights considered core to European democratic values.

False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations.

Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safeโ€”by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures.

Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.

โ€ผ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! โ€ผ

The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October.

PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy!

Itโ€™s sad that the discussion around pornography is always framed as โ€œitโ€™s potentially harmful.โ€ Itโ€™s also potentially healthy? What did you learn about yourself, your body, your gender, your preferences, your boundaries and your self expression through the smut you consume?

Bluesky has enough moderation tools to curate our feed in case we don't want to see nsfw stuff and the new rules are too vague about adult content. Please speak up! A lot of us depend on social media to make a living and they're making a hell to promote fictional adult works ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
