minneapolis is under siege and it is taking basically all of ICE’s manpower they cannot replicate this across the country and they aren’t close to recruiting the kind of numbers they’d need to even get close they are, flatly, not going to be able to get there

this country is extremely large and while this makes it hard for the kind of overwhelming protests we see in other countries to work (where one of the only the major cities is the capital, etc) it also makes repression on a large scale hard they need a lot of guys! they don’t have enough guys!

Seems notable that a few days after DHS/ICE murdered a woman and called her a domestic terrorist, while calling protesters extremists and radicals, they are posting actual neo-Nazi music

To a lot of people the statemrnt "Grok creates CSAM" will read as a "tech headline" they bypass. "Grok creates child porn" is a much more visceral statement that will grab someone's attention and THEN you can explain why we don't use that term anymore.

So one thing wrt the Grok/CSAM issue. When talking about it with "not very online" people consider using the outdated term "child porn." At least initially. Lots of people don't know what "CSAM" means and you need to make it clear that it's child porn to them at the outset.

"[creative fullfillment] is hard waahh" LIVING IS HARD. HAVE YOU EVER BEAT A VIDEO GAME AND FELT GOOD? HAVE YOU EVER RAN A MILE? HAVE YOU EVER SCREAMED SO HARD YOUR LUNGS FELT LIKE THEY WERE INFINATE? THATS CALLED BEING HUMAN. NEVER. LET GO. OF THAT.

im baring my teeth. no use of AI is ethical it is built on exploitation and theft. ur a fucking idiot trying to defend it! we need to rework our entire system before we can give robots jobs idiot!!!!!! fix the wage gap and disability rights first!!!!!!

Tools matter and asking about tools is 100% fine; nobody thinks a particular brush is a shortcut to competence, they simply like the effect.

hey guys, washington state is attempting to sneak through a mandatory age verification bill like the ones that have gotten NSFW sites and sites that host NSFW content blocked in various other states and some countries, please help and submit a comment opposing it app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112

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...

So here's a little life tip that I don't see brought up enough: The app based banks and brokerages are a regulatory nightmare waiting to happen. The way they process payments, the way they handle their money, it's on a whole other level of fucked. Never keep life-altering amounts with them.

"The discord survey was fake and people doing it has gotten hacked" How? It didn't ask for your credentials, and it didn't download anything that could snatch a token. Stop fearmongering

Adult creators and sex workers are going to continue to be picked off, one by one, unless people stand up for them. please call your representatives. demand they oppose censorship bills like the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and demand protections for Section 230

soldiers are mostly young people who want to do something else with most of their life. They generally don't want to live the rest of their lives with the knowledge that they executed an unarmed mom cops want to spend thirty years with the nickname "killer"

This is also going to hurt the freelancer and self taught markets imo. The reason that broke random kid from no where was able to discover and hone his skills in 3D, etc. creating a new future for himself and his family was because of how accessible these parts became.

sharing this important graphic from mpls artist landon sheely

you’re already ahead. stay with it. minneapolis stripped these forces of legitimacy (a battle other cities won’t have to repeat). remember they are completely outmanned. their only real advantage is their organizational capacity. out-organize them & the illusion of control will collapse.

I don't think it's a coincidence that all of this (worldwide) is happening when most of the people who lived through WWII have just died. We need to do a better job of keeping their memories and ideals alive.

More like "People were being too mean about the AI so we packed up our survey and went home"

I don't talk about "politics" as much as I used to on social media because life got overwhelming and I got real tired of weirdos taking on multi-year long hate crusades against me for it, but my opinions are as strong as ever. Just be safe, friends. And fuck all MAGA/Conservatives. Obligatory.

I made sure to mention, whenever able to, that AI has been used and will continue to be used to scam people and giving them more tools at the ready to do so is shitty and will make their jobs worse, not to mention all the shit going on over at Twitter Make em realize this hurts them too

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

please if people can share this around i would appreciate it. maybe if it gets enough support it will get Steam to take harassment seriously. if anyone can help 🙏 idk what to do because this means if i have my games on Steam, Steam will not do anything about harassment.

every republican president destroys the economy

If you mute me or unfollow whatever, but I'm not gonna stop talking about this shit. This is my home state, and I have family and friends within Minneapolis where ICE is terrorizing people. Going insane at how they are treating this brutal murder after how they pissed themselves over Chudlie Kirk.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Here are the brands and sizes recalled 👇🏻 this is a serious recall. please check your fridge if you buy these brands.

Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.

big hungry stupid fat bird

Today, Facebook permanently banned the account of fellow author and Star Trek tie-in scribe Ilsa J. Bick because its automated censor detected no-no words in her otherwise normal post about the murder of Renee Good. Be aware that the fascist machines are working overtime to suppress free speech.

“bsky is boring!” 1) good 2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment 3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it 4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands 5) read book 6) walk outside

Any studio that says they're only using their own assets for an A.I. model is lying to you, likely intentionally. Generative A.I. models require an insane amount of existing work to create anything that looks new and decent. Categorizing said data would take years.

Micro/macro clothing entrapment featuring Wolvermon (digimon beatbreak) sealing away a tiny human in her comically oversized pants turning them into a "zip file" so to speak "Hope it's not too hot for you in there... Or maybe you like it hot. Either way you're all mine <3" #sizesky

It's been five years since I woke up with a stroke. So it's time for my annual repost of my stroke PSA thread.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

The desperate wriggling to find some tolerable use case for this worthless, deeply unethical, planet destroying tech is pathetic Maybe value your employees more and the torment nexus less, dude

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.

People were able to force this change not by voting with their wallet but by being really annoying. Being annoying actually works.

Which perfectly encapsulates why so many CEOs believe gen AI can replace everything.

Any time I see someone with a human profile pic I have to assume they're a bot or really very lost. I warn you now, I post and reskeet mild fetish content and frequently have mental breakdowns. I also cook some damn good food and make games.
