while it may not seem like it to someone scrolling by with a cursory look, what i am creating is not ‘ironic’ nor a ‘get rich quick scheme’ and it is certainly not AI GENERATED. it is a genuine expression of my heart and my beliefs about sexuality and art and love and freedom and curiosity and joy

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

S/o to Marc Maron for speaking out against the fuckery though:

“I mean, how do you even promote that? ‘From the folks that brought you 9/11. Two weeks of laughter in the desert, don’t miss it!’” he said in a video. “I mean, the same guy that’s gonna pay them is the same guy that paid that guy to bone-saw Jamal Khashoggi and put him in a fucking suitcase. But don’t let that stop the yucks, it’s gonna be a good time!”

and not even for like. a detrimental reason either. it's genuinely so petty. but i was like "their works do not vibe with me, so instead of making it their problem, i'll just hit that block button and call it a day."

But It Was Not A Day.

weird thought but sometimes people will recommend an author of fanfic and they'll be really earnest about it because they love that person's work, and i'll have to sit there, barbeque sauce on my tiddies, because i straight up have that person block/muted on ao3

Here's what the new co-owner of TikTok US and existing co-owner of the Tony Blair Institute (the 'let's do digital ID' guys) had to say this time last year.

This is who's dictating and planning to profit from mandatory government digital ID, starting with immigrants and expanding to everyone else.

Apparently the best way to "protect children" is to instruct our entire society that consent is always already too much to ask.

For-profit age-verification providers are now pushing for "continuous biometric monitoring" — AI scans of your face, your voice, your behavior — while you're online to protect children.

The problem here isn't necessarily porn, it's the way our society allows, like, zero overlap between porn and "serious" media, such that it's conditioned people to believe sex in media could only ever serve as masturbation material

No but really I think this is an underrated explanation, pornography is so easily accessible and ubiquitous - while remaining cleanly bifurcated from all other media - such that a generation is no longer able to see sex in media as anything but "just porn"

Doc Vivi Leandra - Real-Life Scientist VTuber 🧬🖥️ @docvivileandra.bsky.social · 22d

fully convinced these kids are watching so much internet porn that it has destroyed their ability to see sex in media as an emotional moment and not a shallow consumer product meant for you to get your rocks off to
