the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

idk why this concept is difficult to grasp for a lot of people and doesn't take priority over wether or not liking wizards makes you a good person. Dont give her money! The money funds evil! its truly that simple

The vibe I bring to the function

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Taurus: Give yourself a little credit. Not everyone could screw up so badly in such a variety of ways.

Reminder: they're STILL taking all of our work + we STILL need (especially Cali) signatures on the petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR= this'll require transparency about what's in AI datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once done, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

Kaleb Horton, again: "It's sad how many RTs you get by saying the world is ending instead of admitting the scary truth that it's not and there's work to do in it."

What an expertly called shot

“AI isn’t magic; it’s a pyramid scheme of human labor,” said Adio Dinika, a researcher at the Distributed AI Research Institute…These raters are the middle rung: invisible, essential and expendable.”

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Wow! So while I still wish this case would’ve gone to trial, and believe the amount given per work should have been EVEN higher, $1.5 billion in settlement AND the destruction of infringing datasets is still a fantastic start! Congratulations to all those involved as these things are not easy!

Ahí hemos estado leyendo esta mañana. Ha sido duro, claro, 18.500 niños asesinados por el estado genocida de Israel.

More reasons to be anti-AI

YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos • Skin is being smoothed or sharpened • Features like ears are being altered • YouTube confirmed there's an 'experiment' on Shorts to 'unblur' and 'improve' clarity • There's currently no way to opt out (via BBC)

thought this was really beautiful

I can tell how bad things are getting at any time based on the number of people who dm me saying they saw this post floating around their discord servers

La IA generativa no es sostenible ni se puede usar de forma ética. Enseñar a usar aplicaciones de IA generativa NO es educación ambiental. Están promoviendo un tipo de tecnología que constituye una factoría de ilegalidad y violación de los derechos humanos 🧵 ☎️ @miteco.gob.es

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Twitter is now 75% bot activity. The dead internet theory aint a theory anymore.

No, but please, tell me more about how ai is amazing and should be used by everyone, while it destroys a foot ball field of clean water per stupid request and prompt

Being a digital artist is exhausting 🤷‍♂️

Two years ago we tried to do a study on the environmental and health impacts of data centers in vulnerable communities and though it didn’t get funded, we knew this was a likely outcome.

In case you need to send this to some dingus the next time they bring up how using AI is fine + good, actually.

An absolutely gorgeous piece from @vlegogo.bsky.social for the new book!
