maybe the party could try some message discipline for its candidates.

start with “The only people under busses will be duly licensed, unionized, and compensated bus mechanics. Not vulnerable people.”
im sorry if your fucking political party depends on message discipline from random anarchist artists on niche microblogging websites you should probably go to them and tell them to get their shit together because you are not ever getting that

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.
"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

Ouch. Difficult to say "Our previous CEO was protecting a sexual predator" more explicitly than this.

"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people.

I think the Democratic establishment severely underestimates the extent to which the younger half of the electorate would cheerfully send Bill Clinton to Gitmo ourselves

Do you notice how, the higher the evidence stacks up that our ruling class is basically just a gaggle of coercive arse-grabbers covering up for each other, the more extreme their terror of foreign sex criminals and transgenders lurking in toilet cubicles grows

The Democratic Party is suppressing voter turnout by being shitass coward collaborators, maybe get mad at them instead of the people they’re throwing under the bus
someone threw a little tantrum about this in my mentions earlier and im still kind of annoyed at how entitled people are to demand i stop sincerely expressing my feelings about a political party that is explicitly collaborating with fascists because i will suppress voter turnout by not shutting up
if democrats think trans people's lives are worth sacrificing then i don't think they get to whine about losing their votes too

Democrats trying to shift the responsibility for the party's electoral outcomes away from the powerful, well-financed party and onto the general disorganized public is not only feckless it's also a plan to lose election after election without it affecting anybody with power within the party

There's also this. An earnest not-very-skilled beginner posting his work got half the fucking internet engaging in joyful collaborative celebration of his effort.

And have you ever read One Punch Man or Mob Psycho 100 - the ORIGINAL comics by ONE?

The part of Bob's advice that's bad is "post it on the internet." The part of Alice's motivation that is bad is "I want praise and clout and affirmation without doing the work to acquire a skill."

For another, you can just do art and not post it. I do that all the fucking time. I make doodles for my tabletop game, I draw my little avatar guy. Art can be just for you and like four of your weirdest friends.

The purpose of human expression is not Posting.

And it's that underlying assumption, that the purpose of doing art is to post it online for clout and engagement, that makes this such a weird fucking take.

For one thing, you'll get WAY more shit for posting AI garbage and claiming it as you own work. Literally nobody will respect that.

There's such a weird series of nested conflations going on here.

Like, it seems that Alice wants to use AI to do art... so that she can post it on the internet for clout and praise, and Bob's advice is bad because beginners don't get praise and clout, but get nasty comments for being beginners?

Larry Summers resigned from his board positions and lost his teaching slot for some pictures. Why are people so keen to normalize Bill Clinton at every juncture?

It's fun how for weeks now everybody has been pointing out the likelihood that the DOJ would redact and withhold a ton of stuff in the Epstein files yet people are seemingly shocked and appalled that the DOJ has redacted and withheld a ton of stuff in the Epstein files.

The fact that when you mention Elon Musk people think of rockets or cars or Twitter; the fact that when you think of RFK Jr you think of eating roadkill and brainworms and Nuzzi, and not the fact they have killed incomprehensible numbers of people is an embarrassment of our collective attentions
