Please stop using the planet destroying slop machine that is generative AI. No, it's not okay to use it for leftist or progressive causes. You don't stand with the working class or marginalized people by stealing their art without compensation.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Fighting a malignant millionaire CEO has brought me and my family on the verge of a very real bankruptcy. This is not a drill, I genuinely need your help. Please, take a look at my fundraiser and share it if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/help-disco...

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search" This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!! www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Reminder: Astro Bot didn't credit their translators, who made their game available in 28 languages. In the credits, they're given a "thank you". That's all. Would you do that for your dev team? Your graphics team? Your marketing or sales team? Shame on you, Sony. #TranslatorsInTheCredits

I was once asked why so many translators are liberal, and when your job is literally to experience things from two disparate cultures and bridge that gap for mutual understanding, it is difficult to be right wing. Translation requires a deep empathy and knowing no culture is superior to another.

This sums it up perfectly. It’s not a conversation.
