"[LLMs] naturally compete with their content supply chain." "They substitute for the "labor of the people" who produced the original content on which they were trained." "LLMs are a product that destroys its supply chain."

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

theverge.com

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

When I worked on Space Marine 2 I became the target of a mass harassment campaign by the worst corners of the 40K fandom. Saber tried to deal with the problem by asking me to remove that I worked for them from my social media. I refused. Not at all surprised by this behaviour from Karch.

Admirable clarity @science.org

The Trump administration hates academic science funding, full stop. They hate where that money goes, and they hate who it goes to. They want to keep all that money for themselves, to hand out to favored cronies who can help them get elected and to steer yet more money and more power back into their hands.

That’s it. That’s the story

had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed

A screenshot of a tumblr post.

From user radiqueer:
Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget.

From user aromanticduck:
Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

No frog left straight.

Have you heard anything from Alex Jones since launching the parody?

Not from Alex, but his son Rex (don’t worry, he’s like 30) said “It’s yours now” on social media, while complaining that we made a bad business decision. He’s right about the first thing and couldn’t be more wrong about the second thing. Gotta give him credit: being 50-percent correct on anything is a huge improvement for the Jones empire.

What do you envision true success looking like for The Onion’s takeover of InfoWars?

Total world domination. No frog left straight.

Somehow the C-suites that collect unfathomable consumer and worker data to drive their decision-making & who have stolen every written word to train LLMs couldn't predict this situation. Wow. It's almost like being a grifter doesn't make you immune from the grift.

Blaming decline in support for LGBTQ existence on use the word “queer” rather then, oh, I dunno, a well-documented, concerted and broad-based Christian Nationalist movement emboldened to remake all aspects of society seems .. misplaced.

“Subsuming the fixed reality of gayness under the much more malleable banner of queerness undermines a core premise behind gay rights: that sexual orientation isn’t chosen. And polling suggests that premise is, indeed, being weakened; the share of Americans who believe people are born gay has declined over the past decade”

I am not denigrating the success of other writers, but I wish that cis and trans queer men telling queer men’s stories got the same kind of mainstream attention, fanfare and big budget adaptations as AFAB folks and cis women. Why don’t we get the same professional opportunities to tell our stories?
