It’s LGBTQ+ history month and this is a reminder that the Trump administration has systematically erased trans history from NPS and government websites as part of its coordinated attack on trans rights. 🏳️‍🌈 www.historians.org/perspectives...

Confronting the Rainbow Panic

The erasure of LGBTQ+ stories from the National Park Service and other government websites has a long history.

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

As long as the entrenched institutions keep protecting pedophiles, *nothing* is actually done to protect children. "A hedge fund manager?" Fancy word for child molester... like that "financier" guy with that island... Shitstains with "fuck you money" are endangering your kids, not trans students

it is hard to overstate the terrifying, catastrophic consequences of allowing this bill (KIDS Act, bigger KOSA) to be enacted it is vvv important not just for "kids" but adults to understand that this censorship and surveillance explosion is Not Good & And Especially Not Good for Fascists to Have

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

if I'm perfectly honest, I'm not sure any of the AI companies actually know why they're doing anything other than to exist and constantly expand into industries with no concern over whether they can actually serve them. It's a global test of how much executives know about how their companies work

Tim Swindle cryarsing about AI disclosure being a scarlet letter lets slip something significant here, because if AI was all that slop jockeys claim it was, then surely such a disclosure would be a mark of pride, even a selling point! Surely people would be clamouring for AI games. But they're not.

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

"Everyone's using AI" Okay, who are you trying to convince? Because every time I see this take, and it's a lot, it screams insecurity and shame, it reeks of desperation. You sound ashamed of offloading your thinking to slop merchants and desperately wish it was the case that everyone else is too.

Even a mondo tech company that has spent upwards of $250,000,000,000 on AI can't fake the illusion they're trying to sell. You can't patch a system whose core feature is randomness. You can't reliably implement safeguards at all, really.

Google AI Overview reads:

There is only one "p" in the word "Google". The letter "p" appears in the second syllable, right after the "oo".

(Note: If you have seen recent reports about Google's AI claiming there are two, it is a well-publicized AI spelling quirk caused by how large language models process words, but the correct English spelling of the company and word remains G-o-o-g-l-e.)

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.
