Holy shit get off twitter NOW

Really interesting article, this part stuck out particularly well to me:

Hey US-based artists, our government is preparing an executive order on AI & asking for public comment. Let's get some letters in (AI corps sure are)! You must submit by 11:59 EST tonight!! I made a sample letter with submission instructions. Copy mine & augment, or write your own! bit.ly/429UIIw

The government is about to give OpenAI the ability to legally steal if we do not flood this page in the next 12 hours. OpenAI will have immunity from all lawsuits regarding copyright infringement. All other AI companies will follow. Do you despise AI? Dissent, retweet. Do something. #furry #art

when you say “duhh ai writing is good actually” you’re the yellow guy. this is u

It is not a time for peace.

Please for the love of god don't travel into the US willingly anymore GDC isn't worth it, and it's for the best if they feel pressure to move to another country for future events Entering the country seems like the highest-risk thing you can do in terms of getting on the fascists' radar right now

“AI race is over if training on copyright works isn’t fair use”

I was helping my wife prepare a slide presentation on baking. This is not the content I was expecting:

The President of the United States is vowing to disappear students from college campuses who say things the government doesn't like. There are not enough alarms for this.

If they can simply assert your activities are aligned with terrorism, and based on that assertion alone with no process they can disappear you, it’s over. We have to keep fighting in the courts, but the most important thing is to build with people in your own community to protect people.

Working on a new #ttrpg #horror scenario for the RPPR Patreon - Darkfield. An unnatural evil infests a suburban neighborhood, corrupting its residents. I'll have an actual play and the PDF out this month! Cover art by @slimyswampghost.bsky.social

Authoritarianism suffocates not only political life but also economic life. Instead of the best products rising to the top, people get coerced into using Dogshit because the ceo of dogshit enterprises owns the government

Every one of these guys thinks they’re Oppenheimer mixed with Andrew Carnegie and they own something called SplortDotCom that got bought by Boozoo

Oh

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and offer them to small to medium size businesses. Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations . Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ? Thoughts ?

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

📣 MAJOR MAJOR PSA 📣 YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PROTEST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO "REGISTER" TO SHOW SOLIDARITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER TO HAND OUT AND DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS. YOU JUST SHOW UP.

newgrounds to their credit has banned all genAI stuff, and they have a good article up on how to hear (or otherwise detect) genAI music, worth reading!: www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-in... very fond of this extremely succinct and dry but lethal description of genAI music 🔥

next time you hear an article scolding leftists and liberals for not understanding MAGA Trumpists, remember how they laughed at us while our cities were burning due to global warming that they caused. Most of us understand perfectly.

it's cool that we're going to pay for this 81 year old congresswoman's healthcare so she can get back to voting for a healthcare system where she won't have to pay for ours

I think this is maybe the closest we've gotten to silicon valley literally going 'we must build the torment nexus' bsky.app/profile/cult...

One consumer advocate told ProPublica: The payday industry hires lobbyists who ingratiate themselves with lawmakers, so that even legislators who would never advise anyone they love to take on such debt decide, “I’m not going to shut it down.”

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

The Shameful Case of Rick Scott and Healthcare Fraud This is the story of Rick Scott and his company Columbia/HCA, which committed one of the biggest healthcare frauds in American history. youtu.be/vlvH3DSTOL0

Fun Strip Rerun, originally from the Patreon.

I just keep thinking how according to a recent lawsuit, United Healthcare knowingly used an AI to deny about 90% of claims, and that figure tracks considering how UHC leads other health insurance companies in denying requests. (Image shared by @kenklippenstein.bsky.social )

Oh, so now they suddenly care.

sitting in a waiting room this morning while my partner had a 6 hour long cancer removal surgery when I saw the news that the insurance CEO was shot. Im paying out of pocket because the best alternative for us is partial coverage @ 1000 a month with a 15000 deductible. Anyway heres a unrelated comic

On Trans Day of Remembrance, we want to uplift our coverage highlighting the ways the criminal justice system oppresses trans people. Appeal contributor @byadamrhodes.bsky.social has documented legislation targeting incarcerated trans people, including laws denying gender affirming care in prisons.

PlainSite— which was banned on X— is here on bluesky with all the legal & public records about Musk, his companies & lawsuits previously shared on Twitter. I missed this one until late in the day but here’s what X Corp. was doing in the Alex Jones bankruptcy hearing…

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. The average Wall Street employee got a $176,500 bonus last year. Something has gone terribly wrong.

There seems to be some misinformation circulating, likely unintentional by most. Upon checking, it appears X did not reverse anything regarding their TOS change. Instead, they quietly reintroduced the Grok toggle, which is now enabled again, even if previously disabled; at least that was my case.

Working Americans need real champions. To win back them back, Dems must unapologetically take on the billionaires and corporations who have rigged our economy.

A comic based on my observations these past few days

Just four companies in the U.S. control: 85% of beef processing 80% of corn seed distribution 77% of fertilizer production 69% of grocery sales Wondering why food prices are so high? Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.

the planet is on fire and people can’t afford air conditioning, surely this is the time to come up with a technology nobody asked for and nobody wants then dedicate all the electricity to maintaining it
