‘Chikn Nuggit’ creator Kyra Kupetsky announces her departure from the show after BuzzFeed made a requirement to feed the show to AI. “I am very anti-Al and cannot support this. Thus I am leaving to boycott this. I am so upset it's come to this and I cannot apologize enough for this happening.”

Trying to write books for everyone seems to me a surefire way of writing bad books. I’m not interested in writing books for twats. I write books for the cool and nice people whose company I know I’d enjoy if I met them in real life. I’m entirely comfortable with twats hating my books. Bring it on.

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

Anyways.

It is horrific that Palestinian students from Gaza, admitted to Canadian universities, are not being granted student visas to Canada. Amidst an ongoing genocide and occupation, denying Palestinian students is continuation of same violence and anti-Palestinian racism. truthout.org/articles/can...

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️

God, what I wouldn't give to be able to shove this under some noses of people who insist they're queer, but this is the kind of crush they experience on folks of the same gender. Not that I think it would help in the particular case I'm thinking of, but still. www.ohjoysextoy.com/gender-goals...

well I didn't achieve my word count goal but I did finish reading role model today and shovelled twice. that's got to count for something.

Today is Sex Worker's Rights Day. Sex worker rights are human rights not just because we're humans just like you, but also any rights taken from us will be taken from you too. Surveillance, police violence, debanking, censorship, we faced all of those for years before it turned on everyone else.

This 2023 feature focuses on how AI resurrection can also be nonconsensual, depriving us of dignity and respect in death. This is something we're already seeing in settings like museums with 'talk to a historical figure' exhibits.

The extent to which 'AI' is robbing writers, academics and artists of their work just got even worse - now they want to steal our reputations too, putting words into our mouths after we've died. Just think for a second about the horrendous ways that could be exploited, intellectually and politically

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

what the fuck

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer. In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

"You can be a genius and be kind and one of those things does not have to come at the expense of the other in any way, shape or form."

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

It is time. We must kill god. By destroying datacenters.

Who's getting excited about the Whimsy Woods Tarot? This is the High Priestess from the deck I'm creating w/ Deborah Blake, with whom the village turns to for guidance... and tea! A year(-ish) from now you'll have this deck in your hands + can immerse yourself in this magical world we created!

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

I'm using my daily allowance of being gently annoying to remind you to please add this game we made to your wishlist on Steam!

Asshole Jamieson Greer announces that, even if CUSMA is renegotiated, we'll still get hit with tariffs. Isn't a free trade agreement about free trade and not tariffs? We have to run away from these fascist pricks. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Anyway I obviously am not applying to this residency, but I also find it interesting that the initial Instagram post included "the author of ten computer-generated books" in one of the faculty bios, which has now been removed. It's still on the residency page. www.banffcentre.ca/programs/lit...

When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched. I dug into it. Could confidently write here: "It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Just fuck these people. Crime is way down but we can't feed our narrative of fear to the low information public by acknowledging that. I hate these people so much.

Give trans kids a chance to be kids.

Everybody’s talking about the destruction of consumer electronics and that’s bad, but basically everything in modern life has a computer in it. Hospitals, airports, transportation, shipping, medical devices, farm equipment, and point of sale terminals had a good run

My variation on this is to just do the loud safe part as often as possible while not giving the shitheads on this site the attention they so crave. 😂 Screencap them and cut out their names & mock them brutally. No boost, no cred, nothing but the scorn they've earned and the invisibility they fear.

This is fundamentally the transfer of compute-power as something a person can own, to something a person rents. Which is, you know, not good.

Gang. GANG. LLM DETECTORS ARE ALSO LLMs AND PRONE TO THE EXACT SAME ERRORS. STOP USING THEM.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
