frankly, it still seems like the only job AI replaces is idea guys who don't know how to make things and the investor class is just frothing at the mouth for it because they're all idea guys who don't know how to make things.

The lack of algorithm on Bluesky tells me that we were fools to accept it elsewhere. We all now talk about how Musk uses it to suppress dissent on twitter, but he hardly invented it. Letting someone else set parameters for what you see is maybe the most poisonous thing that social media normalised.

Transphobia is a load-bearing pillar of fascism, because the truth and freedom that transness represents are incompatible with fascism. Every trans person who comes out despite the horrors is another crack in that pillar. Every ally who vociferously defends trans people cracks the pillar.

More on this btw. Potential way to kick it from your servers. The ID is 1153984868804468756 Remember, never believe an AI bot's claims that they won't train your stuff without permission. They will. #Discord

Discord recently partnered with a Generative AI called DomoAI and apparently they’re in every server but sneakily don't show up in the member list.

However they still use the art/images sent in the server to train their AI.

To bypass this, people have found the AI’s ID so we can ban them.
The AI has already been banned in this server, but for anyone here who has a server or is in another art/creative space, please use this advice and ban the following ID using the /ban command.

It may also be smart to start watermarking your pieces.

If you dislike GenAI, read this and you'll know you are right. If you love GenAI read this and try to understand why you're wrong.

Because I don't have chat GPT after Maria g i e s b r e c h t. Everyday I take the scenic route through my own human brain, making decisions about dinner and composing emails the old-fashioned way. I drive to Costco with a grocery list scribbled on a piece of paper only to realize when I get home that I forgot to buy almond milk. This is the price I pay for an unoptimized life. My husband teases me tells me I'll be left behind but I like it here it is backy thoughts. Call me crazy, but I love you my big dumb brain. I love blowing the whistle calling out reps, give me 20 more! I love stretching it like a rubber band wider and wider seeing how far I can pull before it snaps robot enthusiasts tell me I could be more efficient don't they know productivity is a drug I'm trying to quit?

Trans men’s insight on this is so fucking valuable in understanding the nuances of what’s going on with men. We need to be amplifying them, and hopefully cis men can realize what is actually the source of their loneliness.

Five ambulances, a fire truck and a UN vehicle were struck one by one. The bodies of the first responders were then ditched in a mass grave. A war crime. Without anything close to the appropriate level of global outrage.

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN
Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office
