Even if the person reading your work won’t immediately recognize it as AI, the fact that AI is unavoidably derivative and repetitive means that it will only take a few other AI submissions for them to recognize what’s up.

This is what they've done.

AI psychosis seems to be caused by interaction a supportive voice that never says no. Never pushes the brakes. Interestingly the super rich experience a similar disassociation. After a certain point, people stop telling you no out of a fear of the power your wealth affords.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

I have never felt more seen by a Post

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

U.S. citizen detained by ICE: “…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

This is insanely easy to do with the app. It took me maybe a minute or two tops.

Hey remember how all of Mississippi was blocked on BlueSky due to an age verification law?! They're going to try to do that in Washington State! COMMENT and CALL on this one! www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

Barely anyone is going to see this, but if you’ve ever asked why X isn’t banned in the UK yet despite creating CSAM, it’s because the US government has enforced a worldwide policy of blackmail protecting the American tech oligarchy. It’s why TikTok can be banned but X cannot.

Script if you want to do this via Hilton chat instead: Tell the bot you want to speak to a representative until you get a person. My name is __, my Hilton Honors number is __ and my email is __. Please close my HIlton Honors account; I don't want to be associated with a company which supports ICE

What I find telling here is that the possibility of him being turned on BY MEN was still judged to be threatening. This is a group of cishet women arguing that the presence of gay male sexuality was threatening to them as they gathered to watch a show about gay men. This is unabashed homophobia.

Finally somebody who is not out here embarrassing us

Armies move on their stomachs. The private sector is making ICE possible, at a rich profit. An organized boycott could turn that business move into a liability.

Definitely read this from @irincarmon.bsky.social. My public bottom line: if you want to donate to Planned Parenthood, donate to your local affiliate. They need your money to provide healthcare to the people they serve.

if youd like to help, ive had to spend quite a bit of money on drs appointments over the last year. please consider giving my comics a read here: clownmercy.itch.io or subscribe to my patreon (linked in bio) i want to continue to draw the smut of my heart ❤️

So starting Jan 15th Twitter is adding to their terms AGAIN. The TLDR; You will no longer be able to opt-out of Grok or AI training. Having a Twitter account will automatically grant Twitter full license to anything you post and will be fed to AI training. Period. Not just AI scraping, but full-on.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

Reminder: LEGALLY, paypal does not need to know what you sell. Paypal has nothing to do with your business or its transactions. Its only purpose is money transferal. However they will try to snoop into your business as much as they can. DO NOT DISCLOSE ANY DETAILS OF YOUR WORK ON PAYPAL!!

Everyone should be submitting this to Apple and Google.

oh i had this realization once

Unionize.

No one I’ve admitted this year for influenza has been vaccinated.

I do not believe in the death penalty for humans. I do support the death penalty for corporations. When they murder people, let's dissolve them. Break them up, destroy their technology, nationalize their assets. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Did you know that for five bucks a month you get access to the PBS passport streaming app which has tons of incredibly good shows and documentaries and things and it helps support their funding?

-looks at all the terrible news on my bluesky- ...oh. Oh great. -goes back to coping with fanfiction-

Time to dust this one off again

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

The scam website that is trying to steal money from artists is back, new logo and... very hastily made website. Be wary of them, block and report and warn other artists.

That’s unfair; it also convinces people to kill themselves.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Yeah guys, Alex Karp of Palantir is a totally normal guy who just happens to quote several minutes’ worth of a Nazi speech, before doing random tai chi and leaving Karp is a dangerous, completely unhinged lunatic and it’s made worse by the fact that he’s obviously on coke too

Beautifully stated, and it reminds me of a silly quote I love. "Anything you could ever want is just on the other side of cringe mountain"

Particularly because--and I can't stress this enough--gAI does not actually help at all in this regard! You cannot engage with and form an opinion on a text from an AI summary of it any more than you could from reading Cliffnotes. The only reason people think they can is that education is a joke.

It is fascinating to me that people think that folks who mask need to explain it to... Anyone. Like, do you want people to give you the murder board explanation of our chronic illness? Talk about our parent or kid with cancer? It couldn't be less of your business.

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Random picture:

Quick reminder, the Code MENT guy is a far-right crazy person. He unfortunately is also thr Soup Store guy. He recently has tried to rebrand, but his final few videos before said rebranding had messages complaining about economic equality, DEI, et. Also slurs.

I don't want gen AI in my software I don't want gen AI in my phone I don't want gen AI in my email I don't want gen AI in my recipes I don't want gen AI in my safety documentation I don't want gen AI in my schools I don't want gen AI in my healthcare I don't want gen AI in my life

“SELL IT TO WHO, BEN? FUCKING AQUAMAN??”

If you are still on that hell site... RUN

The platform is stealing your art. It's stealing your writing, your drawings, your voice, and it's feeding all of it to a plagiarism machine while giving you *fake* likes and retweets to keep you addicted to it. L e a v e. Direct your audiences elsewhere and get off Twitter.

Most of all, drop that "we're fucked" mindset. Time to leave that doomerism bullshit behind and focus on doing good.

One of the weirdest parts of this error--that I imagine is incomprehensible to younger generations--was the "smoking section" that was supposed to isolate smokers but was normally just... right next to the non-smoking section as if smoke doesn't waft.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
