And here's just a reminder that your library is free! I live in a place with an exceptionally good library (I've also gotten to catch up on Witch Hat Atelier), but even so... Idk. I feel like I forgot I didn't NEED to buy things I wanted to read. I'd never be able to afford 11 books in a few months

Sorry I've been here less. I'm trying to replace social media scrolling with reading books from the library, and it's going really well. On Libby alone this year I'm up to 11 books since June ✨ got another one the way as well. Ty Dungeon Crawler Carl for getting me out of a years long reading slump

The bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.

Honestly, the lack of casual kindness in the states baffles me. Like here (Canada) people are still mean, but at least we're mostly polite? Like casual sorries and thank yous and little bits of help just make the world a warmer place? It sucks out here and we can just be kind? I'm sorry 😔

As billionaires, the wealthy class and ai tech bros try to privatize knowledge and erase human curiosity, another form of resistance is to stay curious. Do your own research. Do not be spoonfed your ideals or opinions. Use your library. Think for yourself. It's very important that you do.

Im so very sorry to be so pushy right now but I really do need a bit of help with medical costs & transport. Things are tight and it's getting very hard to cover everything. Any little bit & sharing helps. I know i ask for a lot and things...keep happening. Im sorry. I really am.

A halftone illustration of Tink and Balial holding each other’s faces and crying. Tink is kissing Balial’s nose. They both look relieved, despite the fresh tears on both of their faces. Tink’s face is squished up against Ba’s nose, and gently touching his chin. Balial is smiling, and holding Tink’s face tightly.

I guess I could pay for VSCO ($40/year, which doesn't offend me too much), but I know they've been pulling AI bs under the hood, or were at some point, so I'd rather not give them the money if I can...

Does anyone have a favorite photo editing program on phone/android? VSCO made 'highlights and shadows' a paid feature and I'm simply not paying for that Biggest requirements: -no(/avoidable) AI bs -the ability to copy/paste edits across multiple photos -preferably free or one time payment

Truly, if they're trying to come for Loish none of us are safe. PLEASE learn to do your own research. Look into artists, I beg of you. I hope this was a troll(?), but the idea that Loish of all people was being held under a microscope at all is insane.

There are NOT machine-made clothes. If there were, your clothes would be made in the country you live in (where the customers are), or in China (where machines are cheap). They’re made in Bangladesh or India or Indonesia because that’s where the LABOUR is cheap. Your clothes are made by people.

Joyce Carol Oates says: “This is why Al-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine "writes" it? There are machine-made clothes & there are custom-made clothes. They appeal to
different consumers.“

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Yeah I'll definitely try to modify it to be a little 'flatter', but playing with the brush maker was definitely eye opening. I've edited SO many brushes, but making them from scratch is still very opaque to me 🙏✨ ty!!

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.
