The situation with FurAffinity is pretty amazing. Advertisers threatened their advertising revenue because they considered Plus Sized characters and characters HUGGING to be adult content. So FA said fuck off, and in two days raised their entire yearly funding. Advertisers are so bullshit stupid.

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

Aaron Swartz is no longer here to tell us what he saw like twenty years ago. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Swartz had been batchmates with Altman in the inaugural class of 2005 at the Silicon Valley incubator Y Combinator, and warned his friends about Altman shortly before his passing.

“You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted,” he told one confidante. “He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”

good news everyone! OpenKH will no longer be using genAI. The Kingdom Hearts modding community can rest easy.

Discord announcement from TopazTK:
A poll was made in OpenKH concerning the use of Generative AI in its codebase. It was overwhelmingly decided by the community that Generative AI should **NOT** be used within OpenKH. As such, the announcement I have made about OpenKH is hereby null and void.

However, I did promise to develop a version of the Mod Manager with all the features the aforementioned PR had whilst not using any LLMs to generate code. As such, since I am a man of my word, focus will be shifted to that direction until said promise is kept. This will mean Re:Fined is on a temporary hold.

As a compromise, I will also implement extractionless building as a treat.

I will release the latest version of Re:Fined KH2 before I fully commit, and a BETA for Re:Fined KH1 sometime next week to close the gap.

Thank you for understanding.
Keep on Moddin'

A few people have wanted to know how this works: the mechanism is pretty simple. The site checks if your browser says it's coming from one of these sites. If so, you get the "AI loser" page. The link on the page strips out the "utm_source" parameter and referrer, so you only see it once.

A screenshot of PHP code that checks for a "utm_source" parameter of "chatgpt.com" or "copilot.com", and also checks for a referer matching chatgpt, perplexity AI, copilot, claude, and gemini. if any check matches, you are considered an AI loser

Let's hate AI more. Source: x.com/HedgieMarket...

AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.
