A "wartime" poster that says: "Using Generative AI? You're Prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead! Don't surrender your creativity to the Tech Billionaires' control!"

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:

Most honest reporting in the past few weeks.

Large oil refinery explosion near Texas coast forces residents to shelter in place Officials say a large explosion at an oil refinery near the Texas coast has shot plumes of smoke into the air and forced nearby residents to shelter in place.

I’d rather live next to wind turbines and solar panels.

"I asked chatgpt for--"

YEAH?

well I asked my FRIEND and they not only gave me ACCURATE INFORMATION but also a COOL AND FUN ANECDOTE to go with it and then we had a BEER together so GET FUCKED idiot lmao

Completely irresponsible to use a genAI image for this story. Especially one that shows the wrong corner of Union Street.

Sandi Toksvig sparingly, stunningly, and entirely expectedly on point, here.

Happy international women's day.

A comic drawn digitally with two panels. First panel has one black cat on the left asking a white cat on the right "so what do you do for a living?" Second panel the white cat answered with a silly face "My best?"

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

This guy gets it.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Please meet Tim Nott, the chair of the Reform UK Party in Bath.

He likes to do..."acting." (yes, that is him.)

Gang.

GANG.

LLM DETECTORS ARE ALSO LLMs AND PRONE TO THE EXACT SAME ERRORS.

STOP USING THEM.

Just saw that Xing Zhilei, the Chinese DIY influencer, posted an update on his self-built cat town which went viral last year.

go off jack white

For those keeping score at home:

please support art. thats all i got rn.

Before it gets lost in the noise:

Don’t fuck your employees.

Don’t fuck your 20-something employees.

Don’t fuck your 20-something employees who are currently depending on you for a place to live.

Unpopular opinion, but I wish more folks dreamed in wider, more radical ways about the future. I read a lot of leftists expressing sentiments like “these people need to be locked away and punished forever.” I get the sentiment, and: that would be rebuilding the systems that got us here.

A photograph of a protest sticker stuck to a lamp post which reads: The rich are robbing us blind and yer da’s greetin about small boats. Migrants welcome in Dundee.

Spotted in Dundee.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI.

Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January

This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture.

In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.

call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago
