Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

Hey cuties in the NSFW community,heads up that we got a fresh AI scraper/generator following folks in our circles. Go quietly preemptively block and move on with your lives. 🖤💋

Block instantly.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

LLMs are spam generators. That is all. They're designed to generate plausibly human-like text well enough to pass a generic Turing Test. That's why people believe they're "intelligent". But really, all they are is spam generators. We have hit the spamularity.

Nobody in a management position or the c-suite is willing to accept no amount of training data will actually FIX the issue with LLMs, because LLMs aren't minds. They don't learn or distinguish good info from bad. They return answers to queries that SOUND correct, given the training data provided.

Some addenda, because this is getting traction: obviously the actual purpose of this is far more sinister, tying in with the pervasive surveillance state that tech billionaires are so very excited about. Don't upload your photos to any AI tools, especially if they're linked to your personal details.

People who can trust, because they're paying millions of dollars for the privilege, that everything they're presented with in their lives will be exactly what they wanted. To them, AI makes perfect sense. They don't know how to make day-to-day decisions.

AI is pushed exclusively by people whose lives are already basically automated. Whose preferences are already accounted for at every stage of their existence. Who never have to have a bad customer service experience, or choose between two imperfect options.

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect. The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.

It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.

Grok is so much worse than you think.

Wow, sure would be pretty crazy if a ton of experts in the artificial intelligence field relentlessly warned everyone about this state of affairs being inevitable over and over for years.

«Computers suck and they’re terrible. I’m speaking as a professional. I’ve got stuff to do. If I ever notice the computer, it’s failed me.» Aye, the best tools are those you don't have to be aware of. https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/01/10/if-users-notice-your-software-youre-already-a-loser/

FYI if you have been trying to read a PDF in Acrobat using NVDA and it keeps crashing on you, I recently figured out that the issue for me is that I had the NVDA setting "Visual Highlight" turned on, once I unchecked the box to turn it on, I could use NVDA with Acrobat again. #a11y #accessibility

Yikes, the inevitable cynical attempt to cash in on HR 😬

Was shared this screenshot re: the Hans Zimmer scoring the the racist transphobic billionaire wizard show.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

Any time you see an "analyst estimate" of the value of AI to the economy, search for the exact same analyst's estimate of the value of the metaverse.

I'm excited to release Just the Browser! It helps you remove AI features, ads, shopping integrations, and other annoyances from desktop web browsers. This project includes configuration files, a simple setup script, and guides for manual installation. It supports Chrome, Firefox, and MS Edge.

You would have thought it was Kissinger, but having the actual physical Nobel Peace Prize publicly bartered in exchange for a literal international war is the point at which we can say whatever Alfred Nobel had in mind has run its course and then some, time to pull the plug.

As you talk about Greenland, please make sure you are talking about the >56,000 Inuit who have called the Island their home for thousands of years. Here are 2 stories that include their voices, concerns, and hopes. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... canadiangeographic.ca/articles/buy...

Abiy Ahmed Ali, was given a Nobel Peace Prize in 2019, then launched a war in 2020 on Tigray.. today, we are still receiving reports and first-hand testimonies of the atrocities committed to the people of Tigray, especially the women, girls and infants.. #Tigray #Ethiopia #Genocide #Africa

Some people rather eat a bicycle tire between two fleece jackets and call it a burger than credit Black people for anything even when they stand on top of Black shoulders and squeeze out every ounce of semantics, style and even the scholarship on it from Black ppl to shape their own.

I switched over to StickerApp after Sticker Mule kept aggressively pushing their hot sauce. Then the owner went all in on MAGA and lashing out at customers because of it Seems things don't change for them, but it's always a good day to take your biz elsewhere

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

You know what? 2026 is the year I'm not playing nice anymore. If copyright means so little to use A / I for playing around, here's one of his book for free: Color and Light James Gurney [English] : Free Download, Internet Archive share.google/qjDjFS6QhhZJ...

Bandcamp pays artists about 80% of sales. And prohibits AI music. If you believe music is important, stop using Spotify.

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

no new pictures where are you at mentally

Big day! CBC News will add 33 local journalists and create 11 new bureaus this year, adding to last year's expansion of 30 journalists in 22 communities across Canada. Many of the new positions are based in Central and Western Canada. My editor's blog: www.cbc.ca/news/editors...

ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.

Canadians also must understand that if they don't fight for Greenland, they'll be fighting for their own territories within months.

this one weird trick will let you make a talk show but not have to pay union rates

Pulling out of a reply thread: if you don't know this speech, give it a read. "Sometimes, the grievances of people are more -- extend more -- to more than just the law, extend to a whole mode of arbitrary power, a whole mode of arbitrary exercise of arbitrary power."

typical ai use case

This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

Oh. No. You don't get to say that bullshit about negative money. That's a loophole. That's a TAX LOOPHOLE. You don't hold money, you hold ASSETS. You borrow against your net worth, and know that you are never cash solvent, but your assets let you borrow MASSIVE amounts. MILLIONS. Fake Poverty.

How was it not written like this from the start??

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event "Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show" This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

HELL YEAH We did it friends! bsky.app/profile/kort...

We are at the “Minnesotans are spray painting their broiler pans for body armor” stage of the fight

BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.
