Absolutely fuck this, man This is what happens when you treat every piece of art you license like just another line of a spreadsheet This is what happens when you reduce work that real people put so much love into down to fucking content slop that you shovel out for as cheaply as you can

Weekly Animanga Recs Orb: On the Movement of the Earth Following this, I want to add that along with everything here, the animation staff at Madhouse and Kensuke Ushio’s soundtrack did amazing here. And challenges different beliefs under thoughts between heliocentrism and geocentrism. Peak show

Maybe something like "I want voice actors to have protections against AI abuse. Please produce your games under one of SAG-AFTRA's Interim or Tiered Budget Agreements so the actors have the security they need. Thank you. -Your Name" (And thank you for asking! ♥️ We all appreciate the help.)

Weekly Animanga Recs Otoyomegatari A good romance manga taking place in Central Asia in the 19th Century. While it feels awkward that the main couple is an age gap, but their relationship feels more trust-based as you read it. Beautiful art for the designs as well. Definitely worth the read imo.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

NO CHATGPT Or other artificial stupidity: motivation
First, clarity on distinguishing AIs:
Non-generative: grammar aid, translation, dictionary, text-to-audio (e.g. Natural Reader): no problem
As long as you use the appropriate tools (least intensive in data and server energy use).
Why? Because you provide the content. Your brain is doing the most important work
Generative: ChatGPT & Co.
You only supply the prompt, the AI supplies the content.
Why is this delegation of work problematic?
3 domains: ethical, environmental, intellectual engagement.

(Caveat: generative is probably ok for computer programming, where it can be useful and save time. Not relevant to this class.)

1) AI and ethics
Mass theft of all and everything
«learning» on books, articles, blogs, social media, images, music, cultural production, without permission of authors/creators, and leading to their mass joblessness. Profits are not reditributed to originators.
Permanent destruction of the mental health of underpaid precarious tech workers in the Global South (Kenya, Philippines …):
«correction» to avoid production of violent and pedophile contents etc, tech workers are obliged to watch and correct super violent contents for days on end, leading to extreme psychological suffering and trauma, from which recovery is doubtful. No or little compensation (certainly not at the level of the suffering inflicted).
In short, an industry built on theft of real human creation and sacrifice of real human health, profiting a few megafortunes.

2) AI and (un)sustainability

Massive consumption of electricity, water, server capacity for generative AI.
Outcome: keep fossil fuel companies in business, using up new renewable capacity, without any satisfaction of basic human needs.
Massive misappropriation of the finance necessary for climate and ecological action (renewable generation, efficiency and retrofit for buildings, public transit, infrastructures for cycling etc) towards AI industry.
Overall: undermine climate action, reinforce fossil industry, waste resources necessary for human development.

3) AI and intellectual engagement

First, what learning is (or should be) about:
The goal should not (only) be the reproduction of «correct» knowledge,
But mainly personal engagement and experience of thinking about topics of interest. Personal engagement = using one’s own brain.
The most important activity for learning and intellectual engagement is the experience of making one’s own mistakes, by trial and error, corrections based on new ideas, starting over again. Learning to recognise nuances, knowledge gaps, better explanations
This kind of learning is possible only through using your own brain, not AI.
Also, Ais are not «intelligent». At all.
They simply reproduce pre-existing patterns. They «bullshit», invent false references, false facts, false data, simply because those sound plausible. VERY DANGEROUS.
If you learn how to NOT use AI, and how to research facts and data on your own, this will serve you and your communities for the rest of your life.

Weekly Animanga Recs The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn’t a Guy at All With a unique art style using green and a love for western music, this story is really amazing. It’s a yuri romance with solid pacing and gets better with each chapter. Highly recommend it as it’s also getting an anime too.

Weekly Animanga Recs Kesa mo Yuraretemasu In honor of today, I’m recommending this newer romance manga in the mix. Not only is the character designs charming, but the side cast definitely makes it funnier to read. The two leads are cute and the payoff will be worth all the train ride chapters.

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Weekly Animanga Recs Pseudo Harem Really adorable story about actors in high school. Don’t be fooled by the title, Rin is only acting like multiple girls because her love interest, Eiji dreamed of one. Pretty chill and peaceful romance, and if you love romance anime, you’ll definitely love this.

Weekly Animanga Recs Pandora Hearts A manga by Jun Mochizuki that gets better with each chapter, develops its world, and even adds tons of insane plot twists to make it engaging. The characters are all unique as well in terms of writing. For good story and art, this is the best story you’ll enjoy!

Weekly Animanga Recs The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity One of the best romance animanga currently. What makes this stand out is how natural and mature the characters are, great art, and an overall amazing love story between Rintaro and Kaoruko. This masterpiece is so getting an anime too.

There are quite a lot of reasons to be concerned about genAI that don’t get as much mention. This is a list of just a few that we've listed in our @aimod.social docs.

Consent
Al-generated images involving the likeness of real individuals without consent.
Misinformation
Al-generated images in spreading misinformation or manipulating users.
Training Data
Numerous generative Al services have used data for training that was not appropriately licensed, or the source of their training data was not clearly identified.
Mimicry of Living Artists
Al imagery can replicate the style or work of active living artists, which may directly impact individual creators.
Resource consumption
The generation of Al imagery requires substantial resources, like water and electricity.
Exploitive labor
Reports indicate Al training involves unethical labor practices.

I can’t believe we still have to be saying this but VALENTINO ISN’T REAL. People can enjoy characters who do horrible things. Fiction is escape, fiction isn’t reality. if you cannot grasp that you don’t have the maturity to engage with media, and especially the REAL people involved in making media.
