On *some* level I can empathize with having difficulty entirely abandoning Harry Potter. It sucks when the thing you like funds real world harm in such a direct and obvious way, even compared to other IPs that also give support to bad entities. That said, you're all adults now. Stop making excuses.

"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

In my quest to become a reader of books that aren't Queen TERF's septology, wherein I am still largely just looking at whatever popular stuff grabs my attention, I've started reading Percy Jackson. Which, is a nice and breezy read, but I gotta say it feels a BIT derivative of... that other series?

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes

There’s way too much Harry Potter cosplay at this convention and I’m tired of being told “most people don’t know or care about JKR’s politics.” It is 2026 and she is actively getting laws changed to harm trans people and she brags about how Harry Potter sales fund her rampage of hate.

Well that 45 minute trailer for Metroid 6 sure spent an awful lot of time NOT showing Metroid 6. Weird. It's almost like this WASN'T supposed to just be a huge showcase for that one game. And yet everything that wasn't that one game sure was unremarkable. (I don't play Kirby.)

I remember when Link's Awakening came out on Switch and I considered it the definitive version of the game SOLELY BECAUSE IT HAD WAY MORE ASSIGNABLE ITEM BUTTONS. It sure is "great" that the Ocarina of Time remake is going the opposite direction and giving us LESS item buttons than the N64 had.

So many things that become big pieces of drama on the internet would go so much better if people just ignored them and let them die quickly, like all things on the internet do if they don't get fueled by the frenzy fire. Remember this lesson and live blissfully in its knowledge, like Studio Ghibli!

...Well it was totally spoiled in the ending already but now it's officially in the show so. Is this a terrible design by its own merit? I wouldn't say so, though it sorely lacks contrast being almost pure white. But gawd. Compared to Arcana Shadow this is SUCH a downgrade >:( #precure

Star Detective Precure episode 31: Cure Arcana who is pretty much just all white with white accents and gawd why did they KEEP all the white parts from Arcana Shadow's outfit WHILE ALSO making all the black bits white this outfit has no color variation at all.

Panel 2 (Cure Summer): You can do anything for your friends!
Panel 3 (Cure Grace): Humanity is a right not naturally recognized in women and the disabled. We must honor their personhood if we wish to stand strong against ecofascism, social darwinism, and eugenics. You do not need to grant mercy to those who have harmed you.
Panel 4 (Cure Precious): Deliciousmile!

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAl is.
GenAl is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Not just that but Tolkien also said, "Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
Sound familiar?
Misha Loren
Just now
The analogy of the One Ring for GenAl is quite powerful, especially when you consider how it seduces users with the promise of easy power. That quote about evil being unable to create anything new feels particularly relevant to the way these models remix existing human art. It really makes you wonder if we're trading our creative soul for a shortcut.

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.

GenAI is a tech bubble of hype and absurdity. It runs on nothing but vibes and dollar signs in billionaire's eyes. But that's why we must resist it. We broke NFTs, we broke the Metaverse, we can break this nonsense too.

The reason RAM prices went up 4x is that a massive amount of not-yet-manufactured memory was bought with money that doesn't really exist to put into GPUs that haven't been made yet, to be installed in data centers that haven't been built, powered by infrastructure that may never exist, to satisfy demand that isn't actually there, in order to generate profits that are mathematically impossible.
