Canım babam, It’s been two months since the roads closed off due to snow. A lot has happened since then. Winter 1962, Kars, Turkey. Letters from a little girl to her father about goings on at home. This Address Does Not Exist, Episode 11: Ev pnc.st/s/this-addre...
A piece of slightly dirty lined notebook paper. The paper is singed around the bottom.

On it is written

Winter, 1962
Ev

I hope you are doing well,
Kizin, Fidan

Burdayım Aşkım (I'm here my love) is part of the lyrics from a song called "Nerdesin Aşkım" (Where are you my love) by Hadise. It has been shouted at Turkish pride events as a back and forth to mean that we are here for each other -as our version of "we are here and we are queer."

There have been many protests planned all over the world to happen on the 18th of this month in support of the Turkish queer community. I have seen they've been called "Burdayım/Buradayız Aşkım!" in various posters. if you can, go to the protests. if you cannot, share them with people who can.

The fact that Coyote v. Acme was so subversive in its anti-corporate critique makes me wonder if Batgirl was as bad as they say or was actually saying something subversive too (it featured a trans woman), didn’t get the same fan fervor because it was female-led & ppl bought the line that it was bad.

"There's no ethical consumption under capitalism" isn't "so consume as unethical as you can". Trying to silence people by minimizing the harm caused by GenAI is unethical. You can still learn from your mistakes and do better. until then, I strongly discourage anyone from working with this studio.

gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
I haven't even gotten into the fact that most of AI data centers are located in poor and/or BIPOC neighbourhoods which makes those neighbourhoods inhabitable. AI is taking those land away from its people. So yes, as every fucking thing, AI is also an intersectional issue.
140
gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
It is very important to understand that there is no ethical consumption of GenAI that you can access online. Unless you are creating your own local database from public domain data (which is different than publicly available data) using a model you created, I doubt you are using it ethically.
120
gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
AI ethics and safety taken by most companies (including ElevenLabs) is not about the content they trained the model on but on what the user, after the model is out, can do with it. It is to make sure they cannot be reliable for crimes committed by using this tool, not the consent of data.
130
gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
most LLM companies (and definitely ElevenLab's TTS) use publicly available data to train their models. This means, yes, the audio dramas we make and post, out voices, our identities, our words and the way we express ourself. I have never gave permission to it yet they can.

gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
I am aware there are ethical ways to use AI. I have written about this subject in my first language. I have discussed it with my engineer friends who are working in this field. I am not gonna claim that I know everything there is to know about AI but I have learned enough to form my opinion.
120
gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
the AI boom hurts the BIPOC community the most. A studio that claims to bring diversity should NOT use generative AI in their creative works. I am not talking about "prompting chatgpt to make you an audio drama" but about using GenAI tools for promotion, editing, art and so on.

gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
I have asked reasonable questions and was open to discussion because this is my profession as human rights activist. after getting promised that we would further the discussion after, I got blocked. Bard & Biwa Studios is not a safe place anyone, let alone BIPOC creators.

gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
unless you are creating your own LLM in your own house without using any previous coding done by other people with your own data without any connection to net, it is undoubtedly unethical.
120
gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
so far, I have not seen any GenAI/LLM models that are available online that's also ethical, because data collecting involves scraping online for people's likelihoods, personhood, art, voice, thoughts, emotions, etc., without their knowledge or consent. otherwise, it isn't "good" or "human-like".
210
gem @gemaydin.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
can I ask about which AI systems are you using? and what type of previous models its data is based on? oh, also how they obtained their own database? there is definitely a way to use AI ethically. but to do that, you have to be aware of the ethical background of it.
