"JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

New: As gay bars across the country say that Meta is flagging and deactivating their accounts without warning, I spoke to an Austin queer bar that says Meta nearly destroyed their ability to advertise events: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

How Meta's new content moderation upended a Texas gay bar

At least one LGBTQ establishment in Texas says the social media giant has incorrectly disabled its social media account, potentially hurting business.

The dragon watched the girl climb up to its mountain lair. She stopped to catch her breath, then shouted: "Oi! I've got some questions." "Ask." "Princesses, why?" "They're educated and smell nice." "No noble blood?" "All humans are humans." "Yes! The revolution is go! Cheers!" "Good luck."

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

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.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Renee Nicole Good was a mother, a daughter, a wife, a neighbor, and a Minnesotan. Nine months ago, an ICE agent shot her, then allegedly refused a physician's offer of medical aid. Her family deserves accountability and justice. It's long past time.

If the baseline argument is young men are just unevolved gorillas, which is what the defense of those men boils down to, why aren't more men offended at being likened to animals. You're cool with that? You're SELF LABELING with that? Okay. Why are unevolved gorillas in charge and not in zoos.

True not just in publishing/writing. Look at how this new Meta Muse basically jumps into the user's shit, mixes it around, gets it everywhere. Shares their address. Lies to their contacts. Sells their stuff at a low price. Do not let the vampire in. Hang garlic. Sharpen stakes.

Ok, so I know I only watched a playthrough of the first Alan Wake game, but I'm playing Alan Wake 2 and it seems way spookier. Not sure if it's because I'm in the driver seat as opposed to being a passive observer.

The princess took an earring off and held it out. The raven looked at it. "Whatever for?" "You are wise and clever. Many princesses have dragons, but none has a raven friend." The raven picked up the earring. "Say no more." "Friends?" she asked when it returned the next day. "Forevermore."

A #painting from somewhere in Ireland. "Ruined House". Before my longer cycling adventures I used to do countless single day loops from home of anything up to over 200 km, stopping to eat sandwiches, to sketch, or to look at birds, trees, and buildings in need of love. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

Landscape format in acrylics on canvas panel. A patchwork of cloudy lime green fields sloping down from the left to the right. Fields are separated by thin dark green hedgerows with sporadic bushes that have soft curved edges. Hints of red peep through the dark green hedgerows. The titular house is just lust left of centre, grey and missing a roof, with its gable end on the left in blue shadow, as is the top of the left side of the inside of the gable at the right end and two internal walls. To the right of it is a large wide grey industrial shed with the left sloping roof very pale. The sky is rows of smokey white clouds on pale blue with the undercoat of red showing through in parts as a feint pink. Signed bottom left, Liam

Fascinating update. The actress Florence Pugh wrote a passionate, well-reasoned set of posts on Instagram about the Cornell gang rape. Her posts have now been view-restricted. Let's remember how Meta products first started...as a frat boy site "Facesmash" for "rating" women. Zuck. No change.

OH. right! i get it now!

i get why AI is so depressing to me. because covid already shrunk my world to almost nothing, where almost all of my life revolves around socializing and watching videos on the internet (which is being ruined by AI) and creating creative works through coding (which is being ruined by AI), often using open source tools and libraries (which are being ruined by AI)

i already had so little and now even that is being rotted away before my eyes
