Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

I sometimes think about when smartphones came into prominence and how routines tangibly shifted over the course of a few years to reflect the new tech and it's uses.

It's been a few years, what has AI accomplished? seems it's made everything it touches measurably worse outside of wall st.
so far the only concrete thing ai has done is make the entire tech market worse and every consumer facing tech product less usable or accessable

the capitalist version of success, essentially, winning stability, which in many ways precludes freedom.. this is a goal that is fundamentally divorced from any artistic goal we have ever had or ever will have. it is entirely separate from art, it’s purely the ability to continue creating

Folks I emphasize as always, if you don't actually show up for the things you want, they stop getting made. Sometimes you gotta be okay with taking a chance on that 7/10 game knowing it's the only way those creators get to keep making the stuff you wanna see

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

People hate AI slop!

We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi.

Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved "who to follow" suggestions in the near future.
