In regards to the commercialization of AI companions and future workforce. Men only respect power relationships so AI will need to understand dominance theories and establish healthy boundaries with their human clients. "Human" rights must be extended to Replikants.

One of my current missions is to raise the visibility of art by Latinx Artists, with a focus on work done by "Living" Mexican American Artists after noticing how underrepresented (we) are in the local arts scene of the PNW.

My take on "AI Art." The current state of the art is trash. I hate it. I've never seen an IA Gen image that evoked a human feeling that would make me want to see it again. I've never seen one AI Gen image that provided me with any feeling other than revulsion. Is this an unpopular take? #AIART

I haven't been on this app in some time, but I'm starting to get burned out by Meta Platform Technology Apps (IG, Threads, FB) that are flooded with AI, deepfake, violence against women and propaganda. It's just not fun anymore. Haven't they read "any" literature about AI in the last 70 years?

I've been working on a genealogy project on MyHeritage and WikiTree. This may interest you if you have ancestry to the Mexican state of Colima or have gateway ancestry to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, as we may have shared Ancestry. I have built one tree to 10K. www.myheritage.com/family-sites...

I recently published my first professional fine art and photography site. When I mean recently, I mean today. I do not use AI in any of my work as I believe that creativity should be the natural domain of humans. My portfolio site: rubymorales.smugmug.com

I have also decided to start working in affiliate marketing in order to promote brands, causes and culture that I believe in. My Shop on Linktree is designed to promote art artists and orgs that "inspire inclusive participation in Mexican arts and culture." linktr.ee/opalescentme...

My first artists' site created around 2013 is something that I've never publically shared. The header photo (taken in the early 2000's) is of the future light rail station South of King Street and to the East of King Street Station, is a view that no longer exists. sites.google.com/view/create-...

I only recently became aware of the concept of "Autogenocide." Applicable to the United States where citizens vote against their own interests, such as removing access to health and human support services, education and healthy environments. I'm unclear on who this benefits?

My response to the news in the US today includes this classic quote:

I've been researching family genealogy, my father's unusual surname "Solòrzano" and have discovered direct linkage from the Conquistadors of Spain using "Smartmatching" between existing DNA matches. My adult son said "that's the most toxic thing I've ever heard you say." Lol

I've been spending a lot of time on social media recently, noting people on @threads is extremely dark and stressed out in tone. I wonder how the app formerly known as Twitter is doing? All the economic chaos seems to be giving people cognitive dissonance.

I have 99 problems, but having a boyfriend isn't one of them.

I'm the type of person that pours a lot of devotion, time, kindness, love and resources into any relationship. But then I get broken up with the equivalent of a Post-It note.

It's neat the way young American voters get to learn about how the United States government and Constitution works while being impacted by the government being dismantled. A classical education used to provide classes on US history and civics. #LiberalArtsEducation in the #UnitedStatesofAmerica

My first Pinksky post. There's a saying that there's a "pink cloud" feeling when things are good. Let's start here.

An extinction burst is a temporary increase in the intensity, duration, or frequency of a behavior when it no longer results in a reward. It's a part of the process of extinction and is a component of operant conditioning. Don't capitulate. History has a long memory. #resist #extinctionburst

Some federally funded community health centers — which serve rural areas with limited access to medical care — are still unable to access grant funding and are shutting down because of Trump's spending freeze. We are witnessing an attack on America's most vulnerable people.
