Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Since I wrote this comic, the Senate introduced their own version of HR 7661, also called the “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act” with nearly identical text. Please add NO ON S 4925 to your calls to reps about these federal book ban bills www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... #bannedbooksweek

Exactly. This is such a lie. Email had a purpose. The internet had a purpose. Search had a purpose. Everybody loved Silicon Valley in the 90s because they made shit that did what it promised. Now 3 guys who never made SHIT have ALL the money in SV. They're scam artists. Not engineers.

Fascists and authoritarians, both in government and within families, love “A.i.”’because it’s a tool for violating consent and enforcing conformity and obedience.

Maybe we should update the phrase from "Only Nixon could go to China" to "Only Trump could spent the entire visit with a foreign power he chose to treat as a hostile threat gob-nobbling their leader so hard he may as well have cum dripping down his chin in every frame of news footage".

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

the thing about furry is that it's always been about queer and sexual expression regardless of who you are. while it's not a perfect community, it's still very welcoming in a lot of instances and that kink will always be a part of it. seeing new furs and corps try to sanitize furry is frustrating

EVEN IF generative AI... had guardrails against abuse (it doesn't) was good for the environment (it's not) and was accurate all the time (not even close) it was still created by scraping billions of works of creative labour without consent, compensation, or even notification.

If a trans woman uses a women's bathroom to pee for a minute she can be arrested, if a cis man gang rapes a woman for 7 hours he may be forced to get chatGPT to write an essay for him saying he's sorry This is how much conservatives actually care about women's rights and safety

It doesn't bother me that a bunch of Christofascists decided to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War. What bothers me is how EVERYONE adopted the name change with zero resistance at all. Everyone now just says "Department of War" as a form of fait accompli.

I have tried to explain to people many times that the reason we don’t have the expanded child tax credit is that Joe Manchin really did believe poor people would spend it on drugs that was a (terrible) deeply held personal belief, not a lobbyist thing

This thing that chaps my ass the most is how much Ai puke is all over maker spaces. The plagiarism machine is running rampant selling fake shit based off copywrited material yet actual artists and makers are the ones being flagged for IP violations. IP infringement only matters if a person does it.

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

giftart for my friend stygians.thesporkedken.com/profile/Ceri... since it was their birthday recently! i enjoy doing art of their stygians haha c: #arpg #stygianshade #fantasyart
art of a primordial jellyfish stygian - a mermaid-like being with their fish half appearing much like a seal, giving them a selkie-like appearance. they have pale skin and opalescent fish scales on their upper, humanoid half, and long brunette hair. they are wearing a simple deep blue crop top with shell accessories and a laurel wreath with a small skull. extra fins are on their waist, a similar color to their top but translucent, with streaks like seafoam along them. their tail swirls around them as they cast a purple crescent of magic.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

Folks is it a good thing when the head of trust and safety assumes you can automate blocks on the platform you're purportedly running trust and safety for This is forum drama levels of passive aggressive moderator behavior
Aaron Rodericks posted on Bluesky: "Automated block actions on my account, so that I can stay Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing.

TBH it was well overdue."

Working on a kinky sex scene that makes me really angry at the "sex scenes serve no artistic purpose!" crowd. This protagonist is outwardly confident, flirty, and playful during the scene. Inwardly, she's begging not to be abandoned and settling for scraps when it comes to intimacy.

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.”
