The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

Oh this rules?? I want in on this test so badly LOL

It’s is never too late to start wearing a mask again. Cuts to public health, social services and escalating fascism mean it’s more important than ever to protect your own health and the health of your community. It’s a simple, powerful and effective way to resist!

I am banging the drum again and begging you to stop calling your comics, your illustrations, your video essays, your writing, your editing, whatever you make, don't call it "content"! AI and tech bros try to reduce our work to "content", but you're making something that matters! Be proud of that!

Okay so does anyone know any good hard drive repair/data recovery places in TORONTO that can help me this week because fuck 🥲 Tried Best Buy and they were unsuccessful - they offered to either refund me or send it out for repair which could take weeks when I need it like... yesterday

Live now checking out Rosewater!! Really looking forward to getting into this one 🤠 Thank you to @mooncat.games for the key! ✨ twitch.tv/michakes #Twitch #GoingLive #sponsored
