This is due to payment processors like mastercard and visa! They've been putting pressure on every NSFW platform to ban specific kinks (and eventually porn itself). There's a petition related to this from the ACLU! action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Chat-GPTに代表される対話型AIはもしかしたらバベルの塔なのでは？くらいのことすら考える。 いや、バベルの塔は驕る人類を嗜めるために「互いが言葉を理解できなくした=意図的に争わせる理由を作った」という多少の文明後退でしかなく、ノアの箱舟も文明リセットでしかない。 でも、AIは「逆知恵の実」として機能し始めてるように見える。神から奪った知恵(知性)を、神に返上し楽園へ帰還するために人類が作った逆知恵の実。

Grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) were slashed overnight as Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE continue their decimation of arts and culture funding. According to the union representing workers at IMLS, “terminations are estimated to number well over a thousand.”

Right now the easiest tells for how AI negatively impacts artists is studio artists being laid off. But that is only a fraction of artists' jobs. it is probably a lot harder to quantify all the commission artists who have lost clients because they don't have paper trails like W2, unemployed aid

Even from my perch inside gamedev, I had no idea it was already this bad. The rot is spreading. A necessary, sobering read. (gift link)

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

unfortunately I know people who watch TV like this and it's aggravating to talk to them about a show they only half paid attention to. they probably make Netflix more money by having stuff playing in the background for hours on end vs someone who has their eyes glued to the screen for only 30 min.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars… Oscar Wilde Wood sorrel and mossy bits in the gutter.. #mossybits #moss #photography #thingswestepon

ディズニー映画 Win or Lose に登場するトランスの中学生のキャラクターのとあるシーンが、子ども向け映画のコンテンツについて子どもに何を見せるか親によって様々考えがあるだろうという理由で削除されることとなった。 以下は削除されたシーン。とても胸に突き刺さるシーンだ。 LGBTQ+に関する話題は常に性的なものと見做され「まだ早すぎる」と避けられがちですよね。

I want artists slighted by AI to share this more. But I think aside from not knowing about it, people are hesitant to share/care because this is just one part of how imperialists carry out their exploitation. Nearly all of our technology and resources are tainted by this.

Yes. I was shocked that the very establishment (these days) 60 Minutes actually featured a segment on exploited AI workers in Kenya (& by extension, the global south) => www.cbsnews.com/news/labeler...

brb, reporting everyone's thanksgiving dinner photos as promoting violence against turkeys.

What's the point of the "graphic media" label if art containing gore isn't allowed on bsky? A picture of a papercut? lol

There's a lot of comments attached to this that are like "haha, the leopards are eating your face!" But the majority of Asians voted dem, as they always do... even though the biden admin deported MORE people than trump. which nobody wants to acknowledge.

Thinking about the spring mists back home in Wales. You can see how tales like those in the Mabinogion come about, these trees are magic #photography #forest
