we actually life in hell

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

AIはマンガ家の“過酷な制作環境”を救えるか　「作家専用AI」で絵柄を再現する「THE PEN」の挑戦(ITmedia NEWS) ＞日本の週刊誌は月あたり約70～80ページを制作する一方、米国の月刊コミックは約20ページであり、制作体制も日本の作家がほぼ一人で全工程を管理するのに対し、米国では分業制が基本となっている。この過酷な環境が、漫画家を目指す才能に以下の「三つの壁」として立ちはだかっている 過酷ってわかってるならまずその環境の是正に力を入れたほうがよいのでは…？🤔 #Yahooニュース news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/930...

this is my zootopia

It's like someone loaded a shotgun with bathrooms/washrooms and fired it at a floor plan. It's a 3 Bdrm, 5 Bath home with what I can only assume are murder bathtubs in the mudroom/laundry.

I ran into this on Pinterest and...yeah.

"AI dubs" are dead! We can indeed stop these companies when they try to replace people with stolen slop. The solution is bullying corporations, which is half y'all's hobby anyway so this should be easy.

미국 법원은 OpenAI에 모델 학습에 사용된 두 개의 대규모 불법 복제 도서 데이터 세트를 삭제한 이유에 대한 내부 커뮤니케이션을 제출하라고 명령했습니다. 해당 데이터 세트에는 저작권이 있고 스크랩된 책(소설, 논픽션 등)이 10만 권 이상 포함되어 있었습니다. 물론, 저자의 동의나 보상은 없었습니다. 와 AI가 불법이였구나!

OpenAI가 AI 소송에서 패배 네, 범법을 저지른겁니다.

I suspect I'll get crap for this, but I do think it's something we all need to be reminded of, especially fans and creators of things.

In 'Fossil Capital: The Rise of Steam Power and the Roots of Global Warming,' Malm makes a compelling argument that capitalists didn't switch from water power to steam because it was more productive or cost effective, but because it disciplined labor. AI is the self-acting mule, but even dumber

What a great headline

The original Let It Die was famous for its absolutely amazing soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka went and got in touch with a HUNDRED of his favourite indie bands and commissioned each to do a track named 'let it die'. The result was borderline mystical. They're AI-generating the music here. Fuck that.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

The Movie was such a blissful experience to watch! we highly recommend go seeing it in the theatre >:D 주토피아2 꼭 보세요 진짜 2번보세요!!! #Zootopia2 #furryart

Singer/songwriter is an art that requires less of an expense than illustrator in that you don't even need crayon and paper. The subtext is what it's always been- These people don't want to be artists. They want to be famous.

Wow, I didn't know that Europe, which values freedom, likes censorship and surveillance so much!
