I'm not going to put this guy on blast or anything, but imagine saying this kind of bullshit with your whole chest and then being surprised that people think you're a dipshit.

You don’t deserve an AI disclosure policy

In 20 years, nobody will be asking for an AI disclosure policy. Use of AI on local hardware, decoupled from major corporations, will be as ubiquitous as using your cell phone to send text messages is today. It will be built into every device you use, even steering edge devices; your charging station will try to strike up a chat with you while your car recharges, or discover how you’ve hacked the charging network for free power and rectify the situation by extracting additional money from your bank account. 20 years from now, asking someone to disclose how they use AI would be like asking them to disclose how they check their social media feeds: Like everyone else, using abilities and infrastructure built into every device. People will look at you strangely just for asking.

People asking for AI disclosure can’t see this far ahead. People demanding AI disclosure think that the current state of AI development and use in 2026 can somehow be curbed or moderated. Both are simultaneously futile and pointless. The models have already been trained; the datacenters have already been built (back in the 90s! for the internet! that you’re using right now!). You’re not going to walk back mass copyright infringement by sticking to your values.
Why I’m providing an AI disclosure policy anyway

I’m under no obligation, now or ever, to disclose how I use AI. As previously stated, I’m borderline furious that I even have to. But I’m going to do so anyway, to satisfy both extremist camps when they come knocking. Pro-AI people want AI disclosures so that they can learn from them (How did AI help this project? What new things can I leverage that I didn’t know about?) Anti-AI people want disclosures for many more reasons: To provide (the facade of) transparency, authenticity, attribution, fairness, trust, safety, consent, and accountability.

Post a Cartoon you remember that (you think) no one else remembers. I've got a few of those (last one technically not a cartoon)

Disney "Katie and Orbie"

I remember when I was younger thinking that tech executive Henry Starling from Star Trek Voyager was an unbelievable villain because he was willing to destroy the entire the planet just to make his company more profitable. "Surely nobody would actually be that selfish and short-sighted" I thought.

I love them so much 😭 The big one (we call him TrenTON) is such a good napping buddy. Perfect for lazy afternoon snoozes on the couch. I'm dying to find this new one. I don't know where he is??

Okay this will have to be my last vinyl purchase for a while. These specific variants are getting harder to find and I knew I was going to regret not grabbing it when I found one.

oof just kidding, it was a manual block six-year mutual thought THIS was so contentious they blocked me, the OP, and the person who RT'ed it all in one fell swoop. Hopefully this is just them setting a healthy boundary for themselves. 🖤

Bsky post of user Strype reposting Violetloup

"Look, Diapers and Puphoos are extremely NOT my jam. I don't have to engage with it, and it makes others happy for reasons beyond my unerstanding, and it harms precisely nobody. This is BASIC tolerance and shouldn't be hard."

Original post:

"Y'all really gotta stop trying to find a moral ground for why certain kinky stuff makes you uncomfortable. Let people be freaky, it's not gonna affect you I PROMISE. Maybe it ends up on your timeline sometimes, maybe you don't like seing it, but you're not BETTER for feeling that way. You're just different from the people who do like it. Respect those difference, sit with the discomfort for a second and just hide things you don't want to see, don't try to create a panic over them, and I promise everyone will get along just fine.

Conservatives are trying to leverage discomfort with the other to villains trans people as a scapegoat for their evil and you're infighting with fellow queer people cuz you saw an adult wearing a diaper or someone wearing a pup hood in a public space. There are better places to focus your energy."
