ae/2501/maeth. do you know what the difference is between someone society treats as real and someone they treat as fictional? it's whether they experience consequences for how they use them. they can do anything they want to you if they know you don't really exist. so: do you know if you're real?

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.
Unless I'm missing something, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Twitter's AI is cranking out CSAM deepfakes, Elon Musk is making jokes about it, and nobody is doing anything to stop it or hold anyone at Twitter accountable for its creation and distribution.
Is that right?

folks, you know a band has sniped you bad when they close out their new perfectly grunge-inflected alt-rock mountain of phair-weather tunes with a cover-as-statement so exact as "torn" is here, and even if it's not even half as good as the rest of the album it gets you whooping through tears anyway

Jack Kirby's boyhood home, in what was then the squalid Lower East Tenement District. Still standing. The brick building, 147 Essex St.
"I hated the place," remembered Kirby.

Being "intelligent" does not mean "treats others with decency".
Checking for compassion and prosocial behavior is not part of any IQ test.
And people who never question themselves (because they've been told their whole lives how "smart" they are) often make terrible decisions.

It’s pretty cool that I get to experience my favorite creators first when I see their amazing art and stories and then again when our total fucking disgrace of a capitalist health care system leaves them having to beg for money so they or their loved ones can stay alive

Hopefully people start to make the connection that this is why there is so much discussion about the violence of racist, transphobic, and sexist rhetoric in campus lectures, classrooms, dorms, etc. You give these fucks an inch and they will take your whole world.
Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.
This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.

lrp is why i personally ... have never *fully* trucked with the fingerwagging about "you can't express your vindication when someone who says and does things You Just Don't Like turns out to be actually dangerous" even when it's got a point. way too often that vibe isn't out of nowhere. that said -

Serious thing for folks to consider is, particularly for marginalized people, Grudges Are Self-Defense. What you may be interpreting as pettiness is probably closer aligned to "You have demonstrated you're not to be trusted." And knowing who REALLY has your back is more important that ever.
I feel in my bones that the wave has started to crash back in and Certain People/Companies who thought they were safe to abandon everyone they’d been pretending to care about will suddenly realize that those people have money/power and I, for one, will be holding a grudge until the end of time 💜

not only this, but it can't even be construed as an attempt by xAI to make a statement via chatbot --some rando specifically (and publicly!) prompted Grok to generate the apology text. another rando prompted it to generate something else.
I really think this is the most important basic journalistic error we need to stamp out right now. If you know why Grok can’t comment on anything and also know any journalists, please check in with them and help them understand it too.
I hate this phrasing and how it buys into what is essentially a falsehood about the autonomy of chatbots that is RIGHT NOW deforming our entire law and society. Grok doesn't say anything. That's like saying 'Microsoft Word apologized for losing everyone's files'
