everyone too busy hating on shit that doesn’t matter like dark romances or star wars stories they don’t vibe with when you need to be hating capitalism

Happy 30th!!! ⚡💖 #art #Pokemon #Pokemon30

The creator isn't on Bluesky so I can't tag/repost them... but highly recommend this video on Merle Oberon for anyone who watched the latest Wuthering Heights or has seen too much of that movie on their feed youtu.be/lv8ic1r3fXw?...

They are probably banking on the outrage dying down and people forgetting to try this again. It does buy us some more time, but it's not a true victory until discords fully steps down from this stupid idea.

They're hoping we'll forget about this in a few months and that we'll resubscribe to Nitro so they can get back their funding for this nonsense. Cancel yours and do not forget about this.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Daily bunny no.3211 is forging his own path

Daily bunny no.3235 will get there eventually

If you don’t like that Twitch is utilizing Persona, the company Discord recently faced backlash for utilizing, upvote this UserVoice and comment. Persona stores your biometric data for 3 years in some cases, has ties to Palantir via Peter Thiel, and even stores the backgrounds of provided selfies.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home. #regalsart #illustration #fuckai #digitalart

incredible fic tag combo

I've never posted a GoFundMe before (seriously, not once) but I'll personally vouch for this one. It's a little neighborhood group trying to keep seven Minnesotan families from getting evicted tomorrow. If you can help, please help; if you can share, please share. www.gofundme.com/f/support-sa...

we can let them know how much this sucks by submitting a report through their customer service form, emailing them about it, and canceling nitro subscriptions! ppl are getting error msgs when canceling nitro rn due to how many are doing it, if discord only understands money then this matters

This might be a hot take, but if parents are so concerned about what their kids see online, then they should actually do some damn parenting themselves instead of campaigning for governments to make things worse for everyone.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

please give us more personal data please please please please c’mon you’re being so mean dude. we only got breached like three times. we’re NOT going to sell it man please please please plus its for like safety? so you’re the one who looks stupid right now come on pleaaaaaase just one data point bro

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

friendly reminder that ao3 gives you the option not to see the stuff you don’t want to see

the worst human art is still better than any AI art

The Washington Post is getting rid of its Books section. We’re losing the institutions—journalism, middle-class artistic and intellectual culture—that once made life bearable. Those things were a threat to the super-rich who increasingly govern us. Democracy dies in illiteracy.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Trying not to panic about completely zero shop orders right now 😬 If you've had your eye on something check it out, I also listed some new paintings if you are looking for a special piece for Valentines nimasprout.shop

I don't want them to fall in love and make each other better people, I want them to make each other worse.

there is never enough

This has been the longest week so far.

I think being human is and should be a constant forward motion strive to be better, kinder and happier. It’s what we owe to ourselves and other people. Find those who help you to become a better version of yourself. Be a werewolf.

i need authors and agents to be much louder with their publishers how much they hate gen ai and make it embarrassing/financially harmful for publishers to be associated with it at every level (incl marketing, publicity, and sales)

Every single job im trying to apply to has AI design jobs listed. Every single major studio. We need to bully harder.

I appreciate the support so much <3 It's pulling teeth getting my bank & PayPal to cooperate, but your help really makes my day feel manageable. I will keep taking sfw/nsfw commissions as long as I can. Please send me info through Vgen or discord under the same username. :) vgen.co/pistachiozom...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

Commissioners and artists, be aware of this if you use the PayPal

Harlequin France, which is owned by HarperCollins, has confirmed that they’re shifting away from human translators and towards AI.

I shan’t be buying any Harper Collins books from now on. www.reddit.com/r/books/comm...

They are dependent on us, not the other way around.

These platforms are nothing without our data and our unpaid labor (our posts, words, images, art, relationships). But imagine what an exodus from Big Tech platforms could reshape.
