"We're silencing this other instance your friends are on because two users got in a slap fight and the other mod didn't punish them" "We're silencing this instance because they don't do alt text as vigorously as we want" okay that's great will anyone ever see my art again

"Go to mastodon" the great news about that platform is that instead of a board of startup tech bros you're dealing with instances run by people who dislike their users for far pettier direct reasons, like forums of yore. A little nostalgic but I don't enjoy it, had to hop instances for that reason

The thing about social media is that all the websites are profit motivated and they do not give a shit about the people who use it beyond that. I'm so over anyone's posturing about how bluesky is the good website or w/e. All we really have is varying degrees of usability lol

Heads up for any artists/writers/etc currently using Linktree to point people to their work: from 5 July they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E.

>"move over to bluesky! it's way better than twitter! they wont shadowban you! you're allowed to say things without getting post visibility screwed over! there's no AI!" >move to bluesky >one year later >bluesky shadowbans people, post visibility is affected by keywords, and they've pushed AI before

"You’re going to get left behind if you don’t use AI.” Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and books without needing AI summaries.

i wonder why. by the way, did you see the three video ads that followed you as you started scrolling? or were you too busy dismissing the newsletter pop-up? neither, you were doing the cookie consent? yeah, understandable

Sure it may steal, accelerate climate change, drive people out of affording energy and water, destroy ecosystems, look bad and cheap, make mistakes constantly, exacerbate psychosis in vulnerable individuals, and make money for the worst people on Earth, but it's exciting to CEOs!

Dumb: Epic Symphonic Metal Covers that just slap loud drums and bad synthguitar over a song with no care for it Great: Metal covers that recompose the song ground-up for the proper instruments but keep the same feel

it's not that long ago when I explained how much this shit was fucking the environment to somebody and they genuinely had heard nothing about this. there's a lot of people who genuinely don't realize how much power and water this stuff is using because they're just that out of the loop.

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

Hah! You all think I'm a nice dragon? What if I broke into your house, transformed you into the person or creature of your dreams, altered reality so you're financially stable, made everyone think you've always been this way, and took you out clothes shopping? Bet I'd be a real asshole then. Huh!?

I still see this shit happen

Won't this further hurt adult content creatives who intentionally are trying to build a safer environment for themselves and like minded people?

Call my brain 1984 the way it double thinks.

Because “Reduce your Carbon Footprint”, while still a worthwhile effort, was essentially an astroturfed advertising campaign by BP to have individuals reduce their personal emissions through lifestyle choices while the oil industry continued to expand fossil fuel extraction infinitives.

I wish we could go back to before Pandora's box was opened on this shit. It's so depressing

I hate AI

Do you arrange armour in your inventory to be like little guys or do you have no whimsy?

"oh, I'm just a poor famous industry director/game designer, I have no resources to make my art, help me, AI, save me!" - meanwhile my unemployed bro is out here turning into a renaissance man by the power of youtube tutorials

Learned recently there's a whole subculture of halal BBQ joints in texas, originally because Texas's quite-large Muslim population couldn't eat at ones that also prepared pork, but now it's a whole thriving culinary niche. Real "glorious American melting pot" stuff

autocorrect needs to stop trying to change "youtube" to "YouTube" like it deserves that. please understand i do not respect her in any way

'generative AI' =/= robots/AI in fiction quit "Yes, and"-ing the fucking marketing gimmick

I'm ngl, I really hate youtubers switching to streaming instead of making videos. Like yeah I know editing n shit can take a while and posting a vod is much easier but I don't want to have to skip fucking 30 minutes of you reading out donations

Wrong.

I do not want even a single shred of AI, of any flavor, for any reason, in anything I touch not one bit. I only use this site because the alternatives blow.

I do not want GenAI in code. I do not want GenAI in concepting. I do not want GenAI in ideation. I do not want GenAI in assets. I do not want GenAI in descriptions. I do not want GenAI in editing.

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.
