A big reason why this happened, to be blunt, is because Google gained precedent to do so with porn

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

it’s not surprising exactly but it is still shocking just how fast we’ve moved from “woke was excessive” framing to open and explicit white male supremacy

Whatever AI offers you, it took from someone else. That alone is a disqualification. But if you go ahead and use it, you have no idea of the extent of the lift and if it's uncovered, you'll be liable

Reminder that the reason you're seeing so much weird Chappell Roan news is that just a few weeks ago she fired her Epstein-adjacent agent, Casey Wasserman. Wasserman is still the chairman of the 2028 LA olympics, but has started stepping back from his ad agency.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

The FTC has sent a warning to PayPal, Stripe, Visa, and Mastercard over debanking lawful businesses. ︀︀ ︀︀Lawful adult businesses have been financially targeted for years under the guise of "reputation risk." ︀︀ ︀︀If that is finally getting scrutiny, that’s good news. www.xbiz.com/news/297090/...

havent written smut in 7,000 years and I want to so bad??? just need to spin a wheel to come up with an idea and run with it even if its baddddd

The US government collected over $1 billion in immigration fees then refused to process the applications. No denials. No refunds. Just silence. This is the largest fee fraud in the history of the American immigration system. Here's what's happening. 🧵

If you're an artist that does conventions, be careful bringing your cash home from the show while they're doing this. If these criminals are doing bag searches, there's no way they don't try to 'confiscate' any cash they might find.

(I'm posting this a tad bit late but please bare with me while I catch up) One of my works for BindingKnot zine ❤️ from last year linking everything below, but this piece is part of a #skfs fic I love and find hot...please read it and kudos the amazing writer! 🔪😇

Reposting the image with alt text. So EVERYONE can see which of the thirteen airports will have ICE agents on site

reminder (or fresh info for those who dont know yet) that Chiropracty is a complete bullshit pseudo-science and the guy who created it, no joke, claims he learned it from a ghost

This isn't a joke. Change your passwords, like, right now.

the first time i flew to the US in 2007 I took a bottle of aftershave my wife had bought my for xmas. a border guy at LAX took it out of my bag, looked at it and just straight pocketed it. extrapolating that out into what ICE are gonna do is like a line going straight to hell

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

blue slimes make excellent centerpieces in any garden, but take care to water them frequently and maintain their size, lest they wander away with your prize koi fish!

"What other trillion-dollar problem is AI trying to solve?" Expertise. They're trying to use it to solve having people who possess expertise. If you have expertise, you possess knowledge on a subject. It wasn't free to gain, but it's free for you to keep. That means they can't sell answers to you.

When calling your reps, bring this up to them. It's not a hypothetical, it's a real and genuine threat.

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

ME: oh a little Zohran video for St Patrick's Day, probably just celebrating Irish culture, maybe a few green beer jokes ZOHRAN (2 minutes in): ...and that's why King Leopold I of Belgium is a big wet bitch. Furthermore...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Horrific. Death to US imperialism The condition of their electrical grid is inseparable from the decades long embargo and current blockade www.reuters.com/business/ene...

EVERY SINGLE PART of a lily is toxic! Petals, leaves, pollen, the water in the vase. You can celebrate someone other ways besides killing their cat. I worked as a vet tech for 10 years. Let me assure you, you don't want to see your cat go through this nightmare.

People will be like “AO3 gives me life” and then say they don’t read works in progress, don’t comment because they “don’t know what to say”, and actively despair when fics get abandoned and writers quit writing.

Elected Democrat Thrilled He Doesn't Have To Do Anything

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

If leftists do not stand up and put their entire strength into resisting online censorship and surveilance, that's it for us. It's over. We will die in a grave we dug for each other.

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed. Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Update - I’m not sure how may people have viewed the full clip of her statements, but it looks like someone basically cut her sentences to make the questioning of Gen AI sound like a ringing endorsement. Which feels like a pretty big violation. m.youtube.com/shorts/JFyFQ...

you know your technology is good when you have to imagine a version of it thats actually useful

Folks ask me why I’m so hostile about AI, and folks who use it. If you use AI, you’re are the cause that lead to this. Your are our enemy, and I detest you.

"No peaceful demonstrator should ever be killed for standing up to their government. Unless, of course, they’re a suburban mom in an SUV that’s driving away from law enforcement."

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer. In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

saving all my comments in chat so I can post them once AO3 fixes it so I can? more likely than you think lol

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
