this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

A """funny""" thing I've noticed is that if you see a buckwild and totally made up claim on Reddit and then search that claim on Google, trying to source it, the Gemini AI summary will be like "oh, yeah, that totally happened, and my source is that three hour old Reddit thread you were just reading"

It's wild how quickly Labour has turned into an overtly right wing party

Like first of all, just listing the bad things that happen in a work without context is fucking stupid. "Did you know that Wicked For Good features kidnapping and endangering a child, murder of a disabled person, body horror as people are transformed without consent, and threats of gun violence!?"

😅😅

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the AI summary at the top of Google searches lies. It is consistently wrong. So if you’re checking something, never believe it. Look for an actual source.

if yall are gonna do the frieren angle meme then u can't cop out with the angle!!! op may be an inexperienced artist but they had the chutzpah to try something truly challenging and that's the energy everyone should take into their own attempts 😤

Nobody asked for a revival of Vine, but don’t use the revival, since it’s going to be scraped for AI training. The “No AI on diVine” rule is just there to ensure it’s fed real content and not more AI slop.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Higgledy piggledy Timothée Chalamet Has a name meriting Endless design Much like his forerunner Benedict Cumberbatch: Hexasyllabically, Easy to rhyme

If I didn't know better, I'd say the people running BlueSky don't actually believe in decentralized moderation

I clown on wotc a bunch but also this is very good

SHAW!!

To be clear, saying you're going to "avoid politics" is an INCREDIBLY political statement, especially in an age of fascism.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

VVD-minister weigerde de rellen bij Vragenuur te veroordelen voor wat ze waren: nazistisch, antisemitisch, extreemrechts. Dat bleek lijnrecht tegen advies NCTV. Die zegt: vaag blijven = normaliseren, dat heeft gevolgen voor de nationale veiligheid (!) Vertrouwensvraag ligt op tafel nos.nl/l/2583847

people can issue consent. things cannot. drawings & sculptures & fictional characters are things. they are property. they are NOT real people. requiring fictional characters to issue consent is an insult to real people w/real problems how does bsky expect to get consent from something like marble?

it feels so good to write again, to play games again, after the worst year of my life. i picked a ridiculous game (that i love!) to relearn controller skills with, but taking my time makes it possible aftermath.site/silksong-hol...

I feel real bad for everyone who's been struggling to care for a delusional family member, watching whatever progress they've made get annihilated by ChatGPT in an afternoon.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

I can't do it

I love Hornet's characterization. "I only do these quests for the rewards that benefit me and make me more powerful, which I why I gave you most of my shard stock to build a bridge over a hole I have never once fallen into."

I just found Settings > Privacy > Social Features / Messaging and shut that down

Nieuwe BBB-minister onderwijs (én emancipatie) Gouke Moes zet regenboogpad op 1 lijn met hakenkruis. Laat even doordringen. Nazi-symbool op gelijke hoogte met LHBTIQ+-emancipatie Extreemrechtse haatzaaierij en antisemitisme in centrum van de macht. VVD moet dit blokkeren. Zo niet, is het aan Kamer

I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Someone tell Hello Games to stop They’ve made things right; they can stand down There’s no reason to keep hurting themselves like this

Copyright won't protect you from your work being mulched into "AI". Instead reconciling copyright & "AI" will result in licensing deals where because you agreed to the terms of service of a website somewhere, or because you joined a professional organization, you "agreed" to your work being licensed

First time I've sobbed at the end of a video essay

The family of 16-year-old Adam Raine, who took his own life after ChatGPT helped him write a suicide note and advised him not to disclose a previous attempt to his parents, is suing OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman for wrongful death. fortune.com/2025/08/27/a...

"Dems need to stop policing language... and we should start by banning these 47 words."

Every picture of Altman looks like he just got the worst news from a ghost
