The two truths: 1) There is nothing wrong with porn, let people safely make it, let people safely enjoy it. 2) If you let people define porn as bad, authoritarians will ALWAYS expand the definition until their hands are around your neck.

I made a filterlist for uBlock Origin to remove Generative AI features on websites. Includes blocks for * Google AI Summaries * YouTube Ask button & chat summaries * GitHub Copilot * Facebook AI chat * X's Grok buttons * Deviantart DreamUp * Booru AI images * And more github.com/Stevoisiak/S...

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

AI automation =/= AI generation. the scripts to automatically transcribe voice to text or whether your party character prioritizes Attack or Defense isn't the same as algorithms generating randomized results out of an amalgamation of existing data. conflating them is intentionally misleading.

I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.

The Banana Fish AI dub is trash, but it’s also such an insult to the source material, which is an INCREDIBLE piece of art. Everyone who worked hard on the manga+anime deserves better. EN VAs who would’ve been overjoyed to work on a dub deserve better. And *YOU* deserve better! 🧵 (1/4)

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Hey, so, survivor of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) here—and a global survivor advocate, including policy work! Fictional material is not illegal. That’s actually why deepfakes are such a big issue for survivors too. That said, actual art should *not* be made illegal. Why? (Con’t)

I don't want a video explaining how to do the thing. I want step-by-step instructions in a plain text document, on a single page, ideally that I can see all of without scrolling while using a reasonably big font.

just learned about the content warning that open Silent Hill f and this feels like it comes from a parallel world where AAA games took on a whole different meaning for "mature" damn. more of this approach please

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Please spread this information people, don't let Pay Pal dox you.

repeat after me: you do not have to be a victim of trauma in order to explore taboo themes in fiction. You do NOT need to have been abused to enjoy taboo kinks and dark fiction. You do not need to tell antis your entire traumatic history. They don't care about you. Write and draw that freak shit.

You simply don't have to be something that you're not to write about it. You don't have to be a detective or a police to write about them. This idea that the only people who can make works of fictions about traumatic things are the ones who suffered from them comes from people who don't want -

You're allowed to be sad, angry, terrified, anxious, bitter, spiteful, but please don't let yourself down. Don't let those emotions harm you, make you harm yourself, or others. Trans lives matter. Black lives matter. Women lives matter. Queer lives matter. Your life matters. 🫂🍄

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

I'm preaching to the choir here, but family should have to earn your respect and place in your life just the same as anybody else. They don't get a free pass or more grace just because you happen to be born into the same group of people.

And now a thought from a wise frog:

Necessary tools from the bad old days (or: the smallest taste of why marriage equality matters.)

DUDE IM so tired of NSFW being treated like the most dangerous thing in the world. Tired of sex and the human body being made something to be ashamed of. ADULT content taken from ADULTS by a bunch of rich religious fanatics and all who follow whatever dogma they spew. I'M TIRED OF THIS GRANDPA.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffvR... I could write a ridiculously long post about this video. Honestly, I’m almost tempted to make a full-on reaction to it, because… from my point of view, there’s SO much wrong with it that I can barely stop myself from ranting. XD

UK folks - reiterating that it's super important that you download Wikipedia for offline use like now-ish if you want to guarantee you can keep having that incredible resource!! www.howtogeek.com/260023/how-t...

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Change is scary. Fighting is scary. Both are exhausting. We've been looking at the final days of the world we knew, of the internet, communities, and hopes we shared. We're looking at a future of strife until it gets better again. But it WILL get better again. Because we'll fight for it. ✊

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

I know it doesn't need to be said, but I'll still say it: I'm extremely anti-GenAI. It could've been useful, but it was doomed to be used wrongly from the get go, and to be unethical, and it was. I instantly block when I see it, without even letting you explain yourself. 😤

(tw: child SA ) i will never understand the people who demonize dark themes in fiction. when i was SA'd by a family member as a child. one thing they did in therapy was... read me a story. about a fictional cat character who had been through the same situation i went through.

Currently on the phone with Visa Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch (cont)

ive fallen in love with rim lighting... my art has been trending so hard to incorporate rim lighting i find it kinda funny. AND I'M NOT GONNA STOP ANY TIME SOON

On this 4th of July, fuck every single person who voted for this racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, abelist, fascist administration. There's nothing to celebrate today.

What is this! My luck is never this good, NEVER! I lose the 50/50's and have to go to my hard pity (76, it's a weird curse, lol). I'm still flabbergasted.

I refuse to watch “live action remakes”. I think they’re an insult to the craft & artistic legacy of animation

Fuck ice. Fuck trump and all the people who voted for this. No one is illegal. I hope all the protesters in LA stay safe.

It's pride, meaning it's time for me to tap the sign again! Asexuality has always existed. Many were forced (or forced themselves) into relationships or sexual activities, while others willingly partook in them. And so, asexuality is often misunderstood... ⤵️ 🖤🤍💜 #asexuality #pride #pridemonth
