"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.

sorry to say it out loud but "you can buy grand theft auto the coke simulator with a credit card but don't use it to commission furry art" isn't hypocrisy, it's the point. the point is to herd you into consumption of products they like. they want you to directly enrich their own.

Yet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.

Good thread for people to start to realize that, yes, it is in fact that deep, and you should really stop using AI for anything where other solutions exist or can be sought. It's just not sustainable.

Tech companies simply can't overcome these fundamental reasons NOT to use their AI products Ethics/society: - AI models are largely built on stolen labor - Cognitive health suffers with extended use of AI - AI destroys communities, careers and crafts that drive our culture and society for profit

I woke up, and want to clarify: Note that none of my arguments were - AI output is ugly/I can always tell - AI can't do my job well - AI looks different from human output These are not sustainable arguments. As AI evolves they will likely erode. That's why I wrote a huge list of DURABLE arguments:

You know what? Sure. There's one single trans person I've known who would use it for evil, and I think the rest of them would fight against their caustic narcissism. I know too many who would use it to make the world a better place, or at worst would just give themselves chameleon hair.

All hands on deck! Ross explains how the EU Kids Act could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market! youtu.be/mQRcK9nYg9g "The best thing you can do is spread the word...The people who write this crap do not like it when the public at large knows what they're trying to do to you"

This could legitimately end Stop Killing Games.

The absolutely insane part is that there are people who think this is somehow not the most insane and bad thing yet. They've trained people to accept the idea that AI can't be wrong despite all the times it's wrong every hour, and that's not even close to the most concerning thing about it.

Just in case it's still unclear; This shit doesn't work, and just introduces more problems. Age/ID verification is bad, cannot be implemented without causing problems or security flaws, and is a panopticon under the false guise of "protecting kids" while putting everyone at risk.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.
