This is one more reason to reject the unethical use of AI. Some people are stealing cartoons from professionals, using AI to "redraw" them, signing them, and then uploading them to Social Media outlets. If AI can block words, why can't it block the (ab)use of other people's art?

I think the main takeaway here is that almost every tech CEO is a self-important little pervert who should not be allowed to make business decisions.

As an autistic and trans person, I’ve always found it strange—unsettling, even—how so many people accept arbitrary laws and institutional norms as if they’re carved from the bones of the universe, immutable and absolute.

“I don’t believe in taking away people’s jobs,” says the woman pouring money into campaigns attacking trans rights, immigrants, and more. It’s a perfect snapshot of her class politics: she’ll defend your labor (for her ultimate financial benefit), not your life.

"Flatten the curve" is maybe the most successful slogan of the last 10 years and conveys a relatively complicated idea! The difference is that the media helped explain and operationalize its underlying message. With "Defund the police" the media did the opposite.

Lots of ppl are (correctly) critical of AI bc it's destroying the planet & when you ask it something it's usually wrong. But my biggest complaint is that the internet is now FLOODED with AI-generated sites about foraging and farming, two things I'm super into right now. It has literally killed ppl.

The photos of gleeful, hateful bigots are really something. Imagine what kind of absolute loser you'd have to be to invest any part of yourself in destroying the rights of some of your fellow humans, let alone your entire identity. Fuck terfs. Trans women are women.

a reminder that "death of the author" is not a balm to assuage your guilt for engaging w/ media made by hateful people it's a media theory that ignores author intent, preferring reader interpretation so sure "miku" wrote it, but you still gave a bigot your money and they're using it to harm folks

Exactly, years of reactionary centrist hand-wringing have trained the population to see a textbook authoritarian crackdown as merely an overreaction to a legitimate threat. "Sure, foreign students are being disappeared. But weren't they rabid antisemites and aspiring totalitarians?"

A couple of years ago a modern Dutch train got stuck after the overhead lines broke. Luckily an 1922 steam train from a nearby museum came to the rescue and pulled the modern train home. What a glorious photo.

My hot take is that nobody would argue about if e-books or audio books really count as "reading" if everybody involved in the argument didn't see "reading" as a moral virtue as opposed to just a thing you can do like sitting down or folding clothes

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
