I’m not anti-tech, I’m anti-theft. If the future of “innovation” depends on stealing creators’ work without asking or paying, that’s not progress - it's stealing, and we shouldn’t accept it. #StealingIsntInnovation

I keep thinking about how people have done everything they can to rewrite the entire life of Renee Nicole Good, to try and justify her being senselessly murdered by ICE.

This morning Rape Crisis Ireland has called for a ban on AI 'nudification' functions which can (and have) produced sexual images of children and adults.
RCI: 'There seems to be no reason for the existence of "nudification" functionality on AI apps beyond exploitation...'

When Catherine Connolly said the US was a volatile imperial power, the people kicking up most fuss weren't the people who didn't believe her. They were the people who know she's right and don't want to piss off the volatile ass we're kissing in the name of foreign direct investment #spéirgorm

We're living in a golden age for pedophilia.
You can become president.
You can have your name blacked out from records.
You can accuse everyone else of grooming.
You can have CP on demand with AI, TikTok, and Roblox.
