[NEW VIDEO OUT NOW!]

IT'S #SPAMTON TIME! The dealsperson of the year [1997] is on his very own quest in his (not so) very own game! However, he finds no mercy from his chat as they attempt to hurt him along the way! Will this adventure be more than he bargained for?

Twitch finally admitted their anti-bot system is negatively impacting authentic view counts, alongside a bunch of other bizarre choices for what makes you count as a viewer. We were all right to complain.

These past few months my average viewership has dropped from 300+ to 150.

ai is a fascist tool. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself.

“It is deeply disrespectful and hurtful to see my father’s image used in such a cavalier and insensitive manner when he dedicated his life to truth,” Shabazz, whose father was assassinated in front of her in 1965 when she was 2, told The Washington Post. She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

Anna Phylaxis @quatoria.bsky.social · 4d

It really feels like one of the purposes of AI video is to get us to a point where no video we see on social media and no photograph can be trusted or assumed to be true, and we fully enter a post-truth world.

Truth is used to fight oligarchs, so they seek to destroy truth itself.

re: that one post I made about spotify, which evidently resonated because people keep bringing it back

I think it's cool that people still pass around that post I wrote about how paid streaming services don't actually directly pay musicians all that much compared to the cut they take, but I kind of hate that people interpreted that stance as "you're robbing from artists if you don't cough up directly"

like the actual point there was more that, if you're paying for streaming services because you assume they're inherently the moral high road over piracy (because you're spending money and the pirates aren't), you're paying for a good feeling and not much else

piracy is morally neutral, there is no moral weight to not spending money, spotify spent its majority cut of your subscription money on the development of military drones to terrorise people just like you in cities you'll never hear the names of, so on so forth
