Sigh. Leftists invented whole aesthetics around using technology w/o destroying the world. Anarchist transfems teach classes on solar power and spawn three new electronic music genres weekly. We are notoriously into trains, libraries, vaccines. We just didn't fall for a scam and now y'all are sore.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Worth noting that Minnesota Public Radio is NOT doing that. They're interviewing people on the ground, chasing down witnesses and facts, and treating ICE statements with the appropriate amount of skepticism.

ICE just murdered a U.S. citizen. This violence is the direct result of racist rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his allies. This is dangerous state-sanctioned violence. We will not stay silent while unqualified masked federal agents terrorize our communities.

Well, we knew it was going to start happening. And no surprise that it's in Minneapolis. I'm talking about the ICE agent shooting a civilian. I'm not including the more gruesome details because, as of now, they're unverified.

This is what it is to be a trans professional. Any pretext will be used to eliminate us. Our institutions abandon us, refuse to fight for us - even when all we're guilty of is doing our jobs correctly. How are we meant to live in society? How are we supposed to win?

"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?" Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie. It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such. It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.
The memorable concept art for R2-D2 and C-3P0 standing on Tatooine. Threepio looks dramatically different, and yet possesses the same characteristics that would go on to inspire the character we all know and love.

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI
"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

I fundamentally do not understand people who want AI actors like Tilly Norwood. I adore working with actors as a director - and I love watching actors make choices that are specific to them, their techniques and histories as people. Weird empty facsimiles of that is so depressing an idea to me.

This will go unstated during all the coverage of Tyler Robinson, but once again we have a case where the shooter was apprehended not because of the competence of the FBI or law enforcement, but because someone turned him in. The expensive and intrusive mass surveillance tools didn’t do a thing here.
