screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Not to mention that this new platform will have a Nazi problem, because Jackathan Dorsey does not like when you can block people on the internet.

The rest of the people involved in funding it are AI VC firms.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

this is the same playbook they ran on abortion & all giving into it did was cost about half of the country the ability to control their bodies.

trans people’s right to healthcare is *worth* shutting the government down. honestly, all it’s doing right now is evil. & giving in won’t get anyone shit.

this would essentially be a hyde amendment for trans care. don’t know hyde off the top of your head? no worries—it’s how they made abortion incredibly hard to access & unavailable to a ton of people. here’s a quick explainer. and also how a trans hyde amendment would affect trans people in the QT.

Don’t automatically assume that your elected officials will do the right thing because we know that half of them won’t and may try to capitulate under pressure. Call your elected officials and be a constant, unceasing pain in their ass. You elected them to work for you not the other way around.

If trans rights get taken away then that opens the door for them to take away others’ rights also. Saying trans rights are human rights is not hyperbole or an exaggeration because you know it’s not so don’t leave anything to chance. especially when dealing with legitimately gleefully evil people.

and if trans people aren't enough for you to get up and moving (they should be, what the HELL is wrong with you!!) know that it's not just trans people who are on the line, even if they're at the front of it. this is just as much about human rights as much as it is about trans rights specifically

screencap of a convo with my friend Abod over Instagram me: may little Mila enter this world in safety and good health. Abod: i hope so, my love me: a while ago Aya asked me about fundraising specifically for Mila's clothing. i think now is an excellent time. Abod: I didn't talk to you about this subject because you are busy with your new position and I don't want any disturbance or anything to occupy your mind, my love Abod: But donations have been stopped for a while and it's really bad, frankly. me: yeah, i've noticed that as well.

Highly recommend fellow Twitch creators voice their opinions on this. Viewers are getting ICE recruitment ads, something we don't have control over

ICE is violating the rights of people in the US daily. This is promotion of fascism, which has no place ANYWHERE.

This is beyond horrendous. Please make your voice heard and report any ICE recruitment ads as being inappropriate.

Wait forget it again
