Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

I finally finished this Enterprise D LCARS cross stitch! Was supposed to take about a year, but longcovid had other plans for my brain and ability to count. So it's been over four years instead. It has a bazillion-jillion stitches in it.

A reminder that GenAI exists solely so that CEOs don't have to pay creative and skilled people for labor. And it's up to us as consumers to generate as much backlash against this shit as humanly possible.

The totally good and just barbarian RIGHTFULLY and bravely confronts the totally evil and morally irredeemable frog sorcerer. The noble mudskipper/Dunkleosteus monster dutifully assists the barbarian, who also has excellent animal husbandry by the way.

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event "Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show" This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

Turns out being loud and blunt about why genAI is bad dose mean something and make a difference. If the 8 or 9 dudes who are pushing this rubbish cos they have invested the worlds GDP into it also need the publics willingness well turns out maybe it very much is a rubbish bit of tech.

One thing creative teams who just jumped on the ai train need to realize is that giving us something made with ai is insulting. They couldn't even pretend to respect their fanbases long enough to try.

If you weren’t already convinced to leave Twitter/X, smart person @charalanahzard.bsky.social lays it all out here. Get off the CSAM/non-con website youtu.be/p71qQKmIGhQ?...

Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord. You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...?

Any studio that says they're only using their own assets for an A.I. model is lying to you, likely intentionally. Generative A.I. models require an insane amount of existing work to create anything that looks new and decent. Categorizing said data would take years.

To paraphrase @charalanahzard.bsky.social : the more you know about a topic, the more AI tends to get it wrong, so you should only ask it about things you know nothing about

this goes for any community space, online or off. don’t be afraid to ban a rule-breaker/bad vibes user from your twitch chat. don’t be afraid to tell the guy who steamrolls the rules at boardgame night to chill or leave. it feels bad to do, but you and everyone else will feel much more comfortable.

PSA: twitter, X, is doing new terms of service that basically make it so that any comtent you share on there including DMs and photos is theirs and they can use it for "any purpose" including commercial use. So, if you have a page you’ve left up and don’t want them there’s time to act 1/

#nightreign #darksouls Clashing of two worlds.

In an era where support for trans rights and LGBTQ+ in general was more tepid and understated, because people were afraid to upset bigots, GDQ decided they were going to be loudly, unapologetically inclusive. The result is one of the greatest communities in video games.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.
