for those abroad, the the treaty of waitangi is new zealand's founding document, intended to giuarantee Māori some measure of equality in our own country. Any "repeal" is itself a treaty violation and a betrayal.

"why are they doing this?"
To kill open source ventures like Linux distros because the cost of adhering to this law is too much to expect these projects to pay and maintain, forcing everyone to use windows and train their AI/farm metadata
They'll say it's for protecting kids or something tho
Photo of the South of Scotland regional ballot paper for the Scottish election on 7th May 2026. Added text identifies the "INDEPENDENT GREEN VOICE" as "NOT the Green Party" and "SCOTTISH GREEN PARTY" as "The actual Green Party".
Anyone who received their postal ballot today in the South of Scotland region, please be aware that "Independent Green Voice", which appears second on the list on the peach regional ballot paper, is NOT the Scottish Green Party. This is in fact a deliberate vote spoiling attempt by right-wingers.
Bobbi Waterman and Robin Witt are two of them; you can click through to comments on the post below for articles about each of them.
I don't want to mess with moonscrolling vibes, but I'm also not going to be part of erasing these women for other people's comfort.
And also: fuck DeSantis forever.
Twitter post of Slava Cherk happily posting his own games art that's been put through an AI image generator to make it simpsons themed while another user named Javi Lopez is praising him for doing so while calling for people to embrace Gen AI
Slava Cherk claiming ChatGPT's image generation is fun while posting a screenshot of his prompts to generate images based on his game stuido "Lazy bear games"
Slava cherk asking for technical help with AI code generation from cursor_AI
Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code
Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine
The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop
Just called my House rep and Senator to oppose this. Uyterhoeven's office says she's a no but trying to push amendments, Senate office said the Senate already voted on a version without age verification. Dunno if the Senate version, or Uyterhoeven's amendments, push the bill out of horror territory.
Thing I didn't notice in the ABC article until today: "Social media companies would be required to… give parents access to data submitted by minors, the lawmakers said. " Oh cool. Cool. High ranking Democrats in Massachusetts trying to pass a bill to out every queer kid in the state to their parents

Remember what He did for us on this Easter Sunday
the goddamn company itself is calling its own game a trojan horse to spread AI acceptance

Hey, Blackout the System is back and have declared a general strike next month!
Reminder that the guy behind BTS is a scammer wholecloth and you need to stop letting him play activist to build a social media following to scam more people!
Made a simple Doormaker edit for consideration in MegaCrit's next Slay The Spire II update.
Just a reminder that they still intend to do this, dont let the backlash die down, keep cancelling your subscription.
fun reminder:
the reason why they make these fucking pointless "live action" remakes is because since it's "live action", the animation is considered "vfx" and not character animation, so they can pay these non-unionized satellite studios fuck-all and make a cool few million for essentially nothing
just so y'all know
Discord was at GDC stressing that age verification was "to protect children" and that they're "still going forward with plans" but in a way that most people won't notice/will agree to
again, fuck these companies
yes, all of them
stay safe, stay curious, stay willing to adapt
Today is the first day of spring; what better way to welcome the plants back than to be a voice for the trees at risk!
They’re trying to ram through KOSA, a full Section 230 repeal, and a slew of other anti-LGBTQ censorship and surveillance laws under the guise of “cracking down on AI” and a ton of dumb leftists are falling for it.
a rolling stone gathers no más
Alongside this you should also message the congressional representative candidates for your district and get insight on their views regarding bills pertaining to internet surveillance, ID verification, and content censorship. Voting season is coming up so it's good to know what you're voting for.
Call your reps and tell them to leave #section230 alone NOW
It's vital for the continued survival of the internet, genuinely. Every platform, art site, etc is dependent on this law's existence.
Tell your reps to stop fucking with it please #savespeech
Ive seen multiple news outlets claim that the SAVE Act/SAVE America Act is to be voted on in the senate this week, but nowhere provided a specific date
So please, contact your legislators [particularly senators] and demand they oppose this bill!

Please stop using "AI detectors" as any reliable source to prove someone might be using AI in their works!
That stuff is not reliable and was proven many times it gives A LOT of false positive results!
There are other, more reliable ways to confirm such things- such as asking a friendly artist >>
so this question has come up in conversation recently: obviously, bluesky has features that allow you to disable interactions like replies and quote posts. but is doing so contrary to the spirit of social media? is it antisocial behavior? maybe even unethical? interested to hear everyone's thoughts
Bringing this back for easter.
