No, I will not “shut up” about “AI” being an ecology-wrecking fascist grift, and honestly I judge anyone who asks me to do so.

When I was a kid there was no way of telling who was calling you on the phone, and we just answered it anyway like insane people
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Frankly, if you frame life as men bad and women good, you’re basically begging to get hurt by other women as they perpetuate the structures of misogyny against you, while also preventing yourself from finding love with men, who can actually be really lovely (including cis men).
I’ll die on the hill that “all men suck” is, in general, baby’s first feminist thought, which is distressing considering that’s where most people’s feminist awakening seems to end.

Pessoal precisa entender que rede social não é espaço público, onde faz sentido a lógica de ocupação. São espaços onde a nossa presença e produção gera lucro. Ao "resistir" ali, na verdade você só está validando o que acontece com sua presença, atenção e dinheiro.
If women quit X because of Grok’s deepfake nudes, the predators win – so I’m staying

You used to see this "logic" with people who argued against blocking trolls. "If you block, they win!"
Win what? What are we fighting for? Are we actually believing the trolls here? "If you block me I win!" has the whiff of "I win times infinity" from an eight-year-old.

This is also going to hurt the freelancer and self taught markets imo.
The reason that broke random kid from no where was able to discover and hone his skills in 3D, etc. creating a new future for himself and his family was because of how accessible these parts became.

"Ocupar rede social" é resquício de uma época em que o pensamento progressista realmente achava que a internet era intrinsecamente democrática e destinada a ser a praça pública do futuro (e que, no fundo, era mais promissora - e segura? - do que a rua). Essa utopia morreu tem uns 15 anos

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

Makes me recall a clip I saw of Joe Rogan enthusiastically forcing an musician to listen to genAI music he'd prompted as he heaped praise on the model that had generated it.
The musician responded, "What about AI podcasts? They have those, now."
No prizes for guessing how Joe reacted.

Attention Bluesky elders: The artist behind the ANIMORPHS covers is here!
I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:
