GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

to add: it speaks also to how the aesthetics of fascism are always stolen or appropriated. the swastika is from euroasian religions like hinduism or buddhism. the fedora was originally women's fashion. gAI being popular among fascists makes sense when its entire function is to steal aesthetics

chira 🎋 @artofchira.bsky.social · 7d

idk if it's overly reductive but I'm convinced fascism is born out of creative envy. every far right character is a failed or obsolete writer/comedian/actor/artist/etc

which is so annoying since these are losers who made their rainbow drawing not being good enough for the fridge society's problem

Social media has always been toxic, is increasingly moreso, and it's becoming a good, sensible mental and emotional health decision to disengage. Publishers need to address what happens when a large chunk of their current audience goes offline.

G. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me · 12d

In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

Mais desses estudos estilo "rubber hose", esses são da semana passada :)

Vários personagens desenhados no estilo de cartoon antigo conhecido como "Rubber Hose".
1 - Uma astronauta fazendo uma saudação
2 - Uma raposa vestida de soldado com uma espingarda na costa e uma faca encravada no capacete
3 - Cuphead, do jogo de tiro 2d homônimo, pulando e atirando que nem o Megaman.
4 - Quote, personagem principal do jogo Cave Story, desenhado num estilo chibi fofinho
5 - Dois desenhos lado à lado de um cachorro detetive, um com ele só de calça com suspensório ao lado de outro desenho com o personagem de sobretudo típico de um detetiva.
6 - Um canguru boxeador com cara e fantasia de palhaço, com um canguru menor e parecido reclamando sobre alguma coisa com papéis na mão que parecem ser contas.
7 - Noodle, a guitarrista da banda animada Gorillaz, desenhada com proporções cartunescas. Ela está usando a roupa que ela usou no clipe "On Melancholy Hill"

Sobre como as redes sociais entregam verdades COMPLETAMENTE diferentes para pessoas diferentes.

Claire Willett @clairewillett.bsky.social · Sep 13

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

One thing that has become really clear since yesterday is that we live in at least two different realities. Talking to a friend who only knew Charlie as a Christian motivational speaker because that's all that ever came across her feed. Showed me videos I've never seen before of him saying perfectly reasonable and empowering things.

I showed her videos she'd never seen before of his racism, misogyny, homophobia, advocating for violence against specific groups of people. She was horrified by his remarks about Pelosi's husband's attacker being bailed out and celebrated for his violent act. She was horrified by a number of things that he said, but she had never seen or heard them before, the same as I had never seen or heard the generalized clips of him sounding like a perfectly nice loving man and father.

Neither of us had a whole picture of this man. I mentioned he was a known white supremacist and she thought I was joking.

She talked about him giving a speech about finding your purpose and doing good in the world and I thought she was joking.

I saw why this friend was mourning the loss of a person she thought was a good person.
My friend, bless her, saw why I feel the way I do about him. We understood each other better. In spite of a multi-billion dollar internet machine specifically focused on keeping us apart. Because we talked to each other with the desire to listen and to learn rather than the desire to change someone else's mind or to be "right".

None of those motivational things he said change my opinion about him because they don't erase the negativity, the subtle calls for violence, the belittling and denigrating of other races religions genders etc. His negative and blaming comments about homeless people, the poor, and victims of domestic violence. His comments about rounding up people who didn't think like him and putting them in camps where their behavior could be corrected. That time he said empathy was a made-up word he didnt believe in. That other time he said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. The time he said most people are afraid when they get on a plane and see that there's a black pilot. His anti-vaccination rhetoric and his active campaigning against people being allowed to wear masks for their own health. His open support of fascism and white supremacy. To me, all of those are fully unchristian sentiments. Those are undeniable and just one of them would be a deal-breaker for me. All of them together are a picture of a man who was polarizing,

enraged a lot of people and rightly so, but even with all of that I would never wish upon him or especially his children the end that he got.
Oh, and my friend had never heard, and God help me I don't know how she escaped the news, but she had never heard of the Minnesota legislators who were shot in June. The husband and wife and dog who were killed, one after throwing themselves over their child to protect the child. The other couple who somehow survived.

Politically motivated attacks specifically because they were democrats. She learned about those shootings that happened months ago because I showed her Charlie Kirk's comments about them. The kidnapping plot against a female Midwestern Democratic governor. The assassination attempt against Pennsylvania's democratic governor. All things Charlie had plenty to say about while supporting the Second Amendment and bashing the Democratic party. She didn't know about any of it because we're all living in two different worlds and none of us have the whole story.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

angela yang @angelayang.bsky.social · Sep 2

The AI boom has created a new type of work: fixing botched AI. Designers are being hired to remake wonky AI art. Writers are asked to make ChatGPT’s writing sound more human. Even software developers are tasked with fixing buggy vibe coding.
