firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

AI is NOT inevitable. Keep not using it. Uninstall Copilot from your computer. Refuse to use programs bogged down with it. Complain loudly about it when they shove it into the programs you use. We can starve the slop machines.

Slop Evader is a tool from artist and researcher Tega Brain that lets you search the web for results exclusively before November 30, 2022—the day that ChatGPT was released to the public.

Idk how many times people are gonna have to say "stop using ai it is literally killing us" before people listen. No not even as a joke. don't go near this shit.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Conditions that led to genocide in Gaza remain precarious given lack of accountability, says rights advocate Yuli Novak.

Hamas says UN Security Council resolution fails to meet the political and humanitarian demands.

Remember if you truly despise GenAI and its outputs you need to put a lot more time celebrating and lifting all the artists not using it and trying there best and learning. Share their art like that art and just talk about the stuff you like and enjoy. Don’t let the anger of GenAi stop that.

This is a really remarkable video essay on contemporary film and the theories of Laura Marks. It's making me think about movies in a new way.

You want my wokest opinion? Porn is good actually. Feitish art is good. Not everything needs to follow algorithm and be marketable for kids.

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope. Yes, THAT Pope.

Working in animation for almost 20 years has driven into me a deep respect for shows like Sailor Moon that redress their characters in new outfits every episode and they’re usually used to interesting visual effect.

sure sex is great but have you ever supported your artist friends during the holidays by buying their lovely work?

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

And one of the first survivors to step forward to try to stop Epstein? A trans woman, who was promptly mocked and villified by the New York Post, New York Magazine, the courts and law enforcement.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

I can't stop thinking about the Suica penguin going to the ticket gate in the sky

Hello! I know a lot of my followers are from the west and I would like to ask that if you have money to spare, please commission some Filipino artists right now that are doing commissions for a cause to help fund the repairs from the recent (and upcoming) super typhoons. Links to them in replies!

i honestly think that to be a politician your salary is mandated to be the minimum wage. they aren't allowed to to live in luxury unless their people are.

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️ Artists create universes from nothing. Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Everything in animation, from the roughest sketch, to the beautiful backgrounds, is done with intention. People pour the tears from their minds eye into each frame, and I can't express how much every part of it is human experience. It is layers upon layers upon layers of choices and interpretations.

I know many of us are tired, scared & angry. When you can, if you can, channel that into doing what you can to help. Every day it's more clear the only ones who are going to save us ... are us. Whenever you start to say "people should do x," it's you. You're "people." We're "people." It's just us.

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. MARRY BOOKS. KILL AI.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Art is just so fucking cool. I love scrolling my feed here and seeing piece after piece of what feels like the true universal language of humanity. Even if we don't share the same words you can draw a picture of something that matters to you and I will feel it in some way. I love that connection.

The reason they fight so hard, loud, crazy, lying at every opportunity, exaggerating everything until it makes no sense - is that they know if they lose, they’re going to prison. We have to make sure they go there.

„That‘s so mean of u, how dare you say we should bully tech bros„ No. We’ve collectively been too kind for too long. This is how we got into this mess. How we got into many messes. This is a voluntary decision they make to be antisocial and they deserve to be shunned for it. Shove them in a locker.

Using GenAI images for an article on “labor” feels shamefully hypocritical, I’m sorry (not really) but you don’t get to act morally righteous when using a tool that STEALS LABOUR, its a complete betrayal of principles.

when I was a kid and ads played on TV my father would outright leave the room until they were done, which when he got lazier he'd just change the channel for 2 minutes to find literally any other one that wasn't in commercial I found it ridiculous back then but I totally get it now dad

Growing up we always muted commercials. One day, watching TV at a friend’s house, I muted the commercials. Everyone stared at me in horror and someone actually said, “Why would you do that?!” like I just threw paint on their furniture. So that’s how I learned how propaganda works as a 10 year old.

used to work as management at a "classical" art academy and let me tell u everyone in life drawing are about to cry blood bc their chacoral sharpeners died on them, cannot get the proportions right, volumes are wrong, etc.

Yes! Most people's experience with AI is not "a very tedious, data-heavy, repetitive process that if automated could vastly improve the quality of my work and job." It's "mom sending me fake videos of riots in her neighborhood, she's scared to go outside" or "trump shits on protestors."
