Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

The area near the capital was struck with 7.2 and 7.5 earthquake. Some Venezuelans were greatly affected including some of the ones here. If you have the means to help donate to their kofi's or other means directly to them. Int organization funds often don't reach as many people here

friggin chud

Une telle mesure destinée aux résidents d’habitats fournaises, qu’ils vivent dans un logement privé ou social, inciterait les bailleurs à investir dans la rénovation et améliorerait la compétitivité de l’économie. Par @mathiasthepot.bsky.social‬

I mean these are clearly AI generated images and the rest of the app is probably vibe-coded, right? I've scoured the website and it says nothing about the company or the people who work there, there's virtually zero human presence at all. just more stuff aimed to get data out of people

90% of modern media criticism just sounds like this

Owners and operators of ~400 newspapers are suing OpenAI and Microsoft for scraping their content to build products like ChatGPT and Copilot without permission or compensation. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigat...

Monique Barbut : "Je tiens à rassurer tout le monde, nous allons réaliser un flyer pour expliquer comment appeler le numéro vert Canicule qui devrait ouvrir en novembre."

One of the lesser discussed reasons theres fewer opportunities for queer and especially trans people in the entertainment industry is that we remember who said shit about us, so there's many shows we just can't in good consciousness put ourselves forth for because some bigot is on the project too.

This sounds familiar. Back in 2013 I wrote a blog post for Scientific American about how media were doing it wrong when talking about vaccines. Same problem here. The aim doesn't match the imagery. I suspect many media outlets don't have image editors anymore. symbiartic.com/home/pro-vac...

A very useful tool #makeaterriblecomicday2026 #makeaterriblecomicday

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

Man I’m tired of this shit

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social

Please consider signing this petition to save the Botanic Gardens in Dundee, my home town. The gardens are a place of learning, solace and inspiration, and are cherished by both Dundonians and visitors to the city. Its closure would be a terrible loss. c.org/syGLMR2NQL

I resent the video-fication of podcasting. That's just a TV show. Podcasts aren't supposed to be for hot people. They have everything else

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

You’ve heard of woolly mammoths, but what about woolly tapirs? 🤔 Also known as the mountain tapir (Tapirus pinchaque), this species can be found in the cloud forests of South America’s Andes Mountains. Adults can weigh up to 400 lbs (182 kg)! Photo: Edwin Múnera Chavarría, CC BY-NC 4.0, iNaturalist

I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

been reading a book about regaining focus and attention and was expecting a lot more "turn off notifications and sleep with your phone in another room :)" but it's like "we have to fundamentally destroy surveillance capitalism and unionize our workplaces and overthrow the food industry"

I guarantee you would not need to ban minors from the internet if there were actually SITES FOR THEM TO PLAY ON.
