Call me paranoid but I don't feel comfortable handing over my ID, facial scan or any other unecessary personal info to an online company that gets hacked every other week.

Fred from Scooby-Doo unmasking the bad guy at the end of a mystery, in two frames. First frame: Left side: a tied up man in a white featureless mask with eye holes. The caption over him in impact font reads, "SOMETHING I USED TO LOVE SUCKS NOW" Right side of frame, Fred has his hand on the mask, about to pull it off. The caption on him reads, "LET'S SEE WHO'S BEHIND THIS." Second frame: The unmasked bad guy has a pencil thin curling mustache, a pointy nose, and dark hair, with a widow's peak. The caption on him reads, "PRIVATE EQUITY"

listen i shipped 2 characters that never spoke to each other in canon and drew so much fanart of them somehow i convinced other ppl this was a good idea that there is an AO3 tag with like 19 works in it like--

BE FREE... SOMETIMES It"S JUST ABOUT THE POTENTIAL, THE WHAT IF, THE THRILL OF THE SHIP

who cares if it's bad, have you seen some of the shit people are reading these days

AI is just a caricature of capitalism.

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.

Call your reps NOW.

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

Translation: they are proposing a bill that says you cannot under any circumstances use a computer for any purpose without allowing the United States government continuous monitoring and a backdoor

I hate Al and I refuse to use it Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I also shattered the record. With my car.

Which is just about as notable. 😆

I will use any word OTHER than "content". People post videos, photos, art, paintings, music, video essays, skits, streams, chats, reviews, stories, illustrations, comics, tutorials, editorials, etc.

Value your, and other peoples', creativity enough to not just call it "content".

Just a reminder at the end of every war politicians and oligarchs shake hands, make a toast, sit back and watch their bank accounts grow while everyone left alive picks up the pieces.

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost

The premise is flawed — streaming isn’t convenient anymore. When it came out, it was. But the act of putting a DVD or CD in a player is way more convenient than wading through multiple services to find what you’re looking for, finding out it’s not included in your tier, and dealing with commercials.

“you came back!” ✨🥹

Same, robot. Same

Rigging old stills just blows me away.

A clown in 4 parts meme Text: Give us your ID, it's just for adult sites Okay, now give us your ID for "dangerous content" Posting? You better have ID Your online Burger King order is on hold. Please provide valid ID to access your fries

And it doesn't even protect children.

I'm sure there's 1000 fired employees pleased to see this display and numbers pushed so prominently. Shameful.

Welfare helps people participate in society. It also moves money around the economy, keeping it healthy. They call it a “cost”.

AI cuts jobs, makes useless un-copyrightable content, raises the energy bills of anyone living near them, and makes no money. They call it an “investment”.

chatgpt CAN be useful! for example, if you mention it during a writing group, you'll find out immediately which of the other writers to laugh out of the room

Screenshot of Lord of the Rings. The main character says "All right, then. Keep your secrets."

ao3 authors are on the forefront of refusing to let ai change their style to prove they’re human and the numerous tags they’ve come up with to say ‘fuck ai, all my homies hate ai, you’ll take my em dashes from my cold dead hands’ is so delightful to me

"I think politics should be kept out of Transformers and we should all get along"

I think you should fuck off.

every superhero movie should run with a PSA about how all the cool shit they’re about to see is based on the work of freelancers unsupported by the companies that have exploited their work for decades

1. people reflexively blame AI for problems because it's obviously harmful in many domains
2. Bluesky (now "entirely AI-coded" acc. to staff) keeps breaking
3. AI is blamed. Devs say no, it's web service issues, scold AI-blamers for their ignorance
4. devs admit it was actually AI code at fault

lol

Dishonored's art style is so good I knew it was Dishonored before I saw the text.

This. There's no etiquette anymore, and it's not worth the potential of getting into a verbal/physical confrontation with assholes, because they don't care.
