For anyone else who uses Firefox and has been trying to figure out how to disable all the AI features: windowsreport.com/firefox-now-... (Also, along with all the rest of these steps, if you right click on an image & get offered an AI chatbot, you can hover over that offer to remove the chatbot.)

FIFY There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI 1. AI sucks. 2. I've barely invested any time in learning how to use my brain or be creative or put forth effort, WHICH ARE REAL BARRIERS TO ENTRY. Holy cow, this soulless tech based on theft something something transformative.

Steam Next Fest is back, so here's a reminder to game devs: If you use AI writing, I won't play your demo. If you use AI imagery, I won't play your demo. If you use AI music, I won't play your demo. Using AI in your demo tells players that your game endorses creative theft.

As a decent home cook, artist & problem solving IT guy, I just had a thought. When I see a recipe, an image or a problem I don't understand, these are things that "prompt" me to be , curious, creative & inspired It's the complete opposite of what people who use AI do. Learn. Think. Do.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

I've received an 'exclusive' invite to try Nature's new 'research assistant', which will burn down a forest to provide a 'summary of the paper' I'm reading and I have SUCH exciting news for them, that's called an 'abstract' and the actual authors already wrote it for me, no forest-burning required.

I really believe generative AI is a cognitohazard to an entire column of humanity. I don't know, there's a something it fucking does to people that displaces their own entirely-capable cognition and independence, further they seemingly cannot perceive the deficits of. This is not a moral argument.

spotify pays millions to transphobic anti-vaxxer Joe Rogan and so my production company pulled all our podcasts off the service years ago and never looked back they “pay” fractions of pennies to every musician there too consider finding a better service shouldn’t be hard when the bar’s this low!

while it may not seem like it to someone scrolling by with a cursory look, what i am creating is not ‘ironic’ nor a ‘get rich quick scheme’ and it is certainly not AI GENERATED. it is a genuine expression of my heart and my beliefs about sexuality and art and love and freedom and curiosity and joy

at the risk of subskeeting, being anti-fascist and advocating for using AI to produce artistic content is an ideologically incompatible position

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer. Not one. To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

If I see a link to a supposedly politically progressive blog that is not just platformed on proud Nazi-funder Substack, but also has an AI slop image generated from the mass theft of labor by artists, that's a double nope from me, dear ones! I get that life is complicated, but these issues aren't.

The teacher should be fired. They've demonstrated that they are not competent as an educator. Plus, using AI slop to try and make a point about conserving the environment is just adding insult to injury.

Hey #PortfolioDay💫🗡️ I'm Birmit and I draw things

What annoys me most about the current gen AI hype is how clearly it demonstrates every single day that people will sacrifice ethics, accuracy, privacy, energy balance, and the sanctity of artistic achievement to gain just the tiniest bit of convenience.

It's not ableist to call out AI at all. It's ableist to think that any disabled person cannot contribute artistically without the use of Gen AI, which is fucking bullshit and outrageously insulting. As a disabled person with over 300 stories written, there's no fucking excuse here.

Isn’t it funny when someone says that gen AI isn’t so bad, it’s not *their* job that they’re qualifying as “menial labor.”

Once again wishing Steam had a no-gen"ai" filter I refuse to support any game that has been made in any part using generative slop & it would make my time digging through the nearly 3,000 demos on show right now if I didn't have to check every single one to make sure it wasn't using that crap

Hey #writingcommunity I've been working w/some author buds to put proof to concept for book cover art that is unique & easy on your budget. Don't go the soul-sucking, artist-thieving AI route; get something human-made you can be proud of. Let me help you bring your book to life. DMs are open.

but make no mistake: you are being looked down on and you deserve every ounce of it

these repercussions may not be obvious to you. they may be invisible. it will be in the refusal to read/recommend your work. it will be in whispers behind your back that you're not trustworthy; you don't respect your colleagues in the arts. it will be fans grimacing in distaste and moving on

if you're a writer and you think this is fine you're not just stabbing us in the back. you're losing face among your colleagues big time. two people last week talked to me about it unprompted. you're not getting away with shit

LRP there were a lot of authors at worldcon with ai covers. one of them was so similar to a real artist's original robot character that people kept asking if that artist had done the cover and the author had no idea who they were. seriously demoralizing. goddamn scabs is that they are

if you are a traditional artist, I have a pack for that, too

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

Time to update the scoreboards so everyone knows what's up before JK Rowling drops another few hundred grand on being a bigot loser Money wasted on being a dick to trans people: literally millions upon millions. Women saved from harm or even vaguely supported by being a dick to trans people: 0

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Imagine if JK Rowling had said she was giving all the money earned from her new Harry Potter series to wipe out any other minority If you're working on that series, you're openly helping her

Celebrate with me. #IndigenousPeoplesDay 🪶✊🏾

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

Something I want to remind y’all about alt text for images: You don’t have to do it perfectly. You just have to try. It makes your skeets more accessible to people who want to participate but who also need extra support to do so. People are also more likely to rs if you use alt text.

Two large accounts have done fake alt text today, and I've muted them both. C'mon, folks, it's bad enough to not use alt; it's worse to pretend you have so you get the original Bsky community to share.

When writing alt text for an image of text, it's not enough to just write "screen shot of text from article." Sighted users get to know what is in that screen shot, so why don't blind users deserve the same? The alt text should include all the actual text in the image.

For newer users of BlueSky, please alt-text your images. It helps people who use screen-readers or who have slow internet connections understand the image you've uploaded. Make the web accessible. I rarely reshare images without alt-text & I know others do the same. Alt-text your images for reach
