If you are somewhere in the Venn diagram of industrial music nerd and graphic design nerd, you might be interested in this book project on Kickstarter. They interviewed me a while back for it so it will apparently include some of my work and commentary. Looking forward to it!

One for the weekend crew - does anyone know someone in the online publishing world - specifically the business/finance/platform side rather than authorship? I'm interested in chatting about incentive structures and building platforms in a troubled attention economy.

I cannot stress this enough - the side claiming to “protect children” are now posting the names of children they claim to be trans, photos of those children to help people identify them, and the name of the school they attend. It is impossible to overstate the level of danger for these children.

if there were tools that could reliably tell the difference, we wouldn't see this much spending on this kind of old, analog data grab that's *guaranteed* to be free from AI poisoning, because the detection tools could filter it but we see them doing this, and so, can infer about the tools efficacy

men often upskirt women (it is overwhelmingly men) to "punish" them for their bodies, clothing and for being a woman, by humiliating them.
That's called misogyny and it's what we're witnessing Joanne do here: transmisogyny.
It goes like this:

1. Target someone you dehumanise
2. Assert power with demand (Joanne wanted to debate Freda, for me a man wanted a "yes to his advances)
3. If they refuse, punish them by capturing a "humiliating" image of their body
4. Share it to exert power and humiliate
Exact same logic.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.
