Sometimes you just need your coworkers g̶r̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶i̶t̶s̶ help to get through the day. 👌 I've secretly been practicing my phone art. It's still messy... #monoshin #HitoshiShinso #NeitoMonoma

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

I like it better. GEMD sounds like what an angsty teen came up with (true!) but when it's like "this is now a grown adult man", it just sounds super silly to me. Sort of like when you make an email at 13 that's really goofy but choosing to email your boss with it still instead of changing it

Tomorrow, Discord will place everyone into an age group using account signals. They claim 90% of users won't have to confirm their age. They are also introducing new verification methods if you do need to verify that you are an adult, including Credit Cards and App Stores.

More than 90% of you won’t be asked to confirm your age. Since our last post about teen safety, we've had to launch age assurance solutions in more places, including Texas and Brazil. Laws requiring age assurance are expanding around the world. Rather than waiting to be told how to do it, we’re launching our own privacy-preserving approach: one that reflects your feedback.
You can check your age group status at User Settings > Account Status. We've estimated your age group automatically from account signals like how long your account has existed or the kinds of servers you're a part of. We don’t look at your messages, calls, or other content. We're launching this over the course of this week, so it may take a few days to reach your account.
If you're in the adult age group (18+), nothing changes. If you're in the teen age group (13-17), you can keep messaging friends, joining voice calls, and participating in non-age-restricted servers, but with additional safety protections that block age-restricted content, spaces, and settings. Otherwise, Discord works the same. More on this below.
We've added several new ways to confirm your age, including some that don't require an ID or selfie (including credit cards). If you're an adult but weren't automatically placed in the adult age group, you can confirm your age group at any time by going to User Settings > Account Status. More on the new options below.

As much as I love Sora (my dearest boy 😭🫶🏻) I won’t play F0rtnite, since they’re using A/I in the workflow 🫠 Same goes for “certain other games” everyone’s obsessed over. The main company uses A/I, so no, i won’t play those ever. If you’re against the slop, please truly show it. No exceptions.

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way

Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”

Out of curiosity, went to check out the new wattpad guidelines, and not only are they banning pwp, they're cracking down on pretty much anything that doesn't have a moral lesson and a happy ending (and can't be too violent either) policies.wattpad.com/content/

2. Before You Post

Wattpad is a public platform. What you share here can be read, shared, and remembered by others.

Before publishing, we encourage you to:

Think about your audience - is your content appropriate for the rating you've selected?

Protect your privacy and others - avoid sharing personal or identifiable information.

Be mindful of impact - content that may be harmful, exploitative, or misleading can be removed.

Real Person Fiction - stories featuring real people are welcome on Wattpad but must be published responsibly. Stories will be removed if they involve non-consensual sexual content, private information (PII), targeted harassment, or non-consensual AI/deepfakes.

Create with intent - stories should contribute to the narrative, not exist solely to shock, harm, or abuse.

Sexual Content

Everyone/Allowed

Romantic or sexual relationships as part of a broader story

Non-explicit or implied sexual content

Mature

Explicit sexual scenes between consenting adults (18+ or as otherwise applicable under local, national or international laws)

Violence

Everyone/Allowed

Mild or non-graphic violence

Conflict that supports a storyline

Mature

Graphic or intense violence within a narrative

Banned/Not Allowed

Content created primarily to shock or glorify harm

Gratuitous or prolonged violence that doesn't support the broader narrative

Self-Expression & Sensitive Topics

We recognize that storytelling often explores difficult themes, including trauma, abuse, addiction, and mental health.

Everyone/Allowed

Stories that handle sensitive topics responsibly

Narratives that show consequences, recovery, or growth

Mature

Survival stories that offer a sense of hope or support

Could contain graphic descriptions

Stories referencing or describing sensitive topics, in a non-glorifying way

Banned/Not Allowed

I feel a smarter person can flesh this out more, but I feel this is related to how sexualized women's feet have become. So much so that they feel uncomfortable showing them. Reaffirming that it is inherently sexual. Eventually leading to YT deleting channels based on "feet are boobs now."

If you've ever wondered why creative groups or individuals have had policies that explicitly state unsolicited scripts, stories, ideas, etc. will not be read, this is why. Without it, even if it's something they were already gonna do, you can claim they got the idea from you, making ownership murky.
