Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

Meme from Parks and Recreation of Ron handing a paper to an officer and saying “Not to worry. I have a permit.”

Followed by a closeup image of the paper being held by the officer, edited to read:

“Every fictional character I’ve drawn and will draw having sex, has consented to being drawn that way. They told me themselves.”

Also, people did not stop posting porn on tumblr after the ban. They stopped tagging. You can take fire and gasoline to a site and porn will still be there, now just out there without any protections that used to make it safe to navigate

Oh you assumed the cartoon character getting plowed is consenting because they look happy? How naïve. They're pretending because they were coerced by the other character. There's actually untold amounts of abuse happening to cartoon characters behind the scenes. We must take waifu welfare seriously

Interesting regarding AI and Kpop Demon Hunters 1/2

Artists Against Generative Al
15 AGAINST
Andrew Unferdorfer • 14h • G
A Redditor caught this. Looks like a possible instance where a translation bot fabricated pro-Al misinformation and that got picked up and amplified as real news.
The misinformation states that ChatGPT was used by the creators of KPop Demon Hunters to help them write the song "Soda Pop".
Problem is, when somebody went back to the original source in Korean, IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING AI OR CHATGPT!
The article was translated with Al, and it looks like the Al itself made up this complete lie, and the truly terrifying thing is how nobody questioned it until this one person went digging for the truth.
We launched the OpenAl Korea office yesterday!
Fav moment from the launch celebration was hearing singer/songwriter Vince share that ChatGPT helped him write "Soda Pop" from KPop Demon Hunters! It apparently gave him ideas to make it sound "more bubbly"
OpenAl

Tweet's now deleted, but here's a bit further down the web of this:
The original article this was sourced from, from Korea JoongAng Daily, says this:
"Prior to the unofficial event, producer Vince also spoke with Business Director Oliver Jay at OpenAl's official launch event. Vince stated, "We sometimes use ChatGPT to generate inspiration when producing K-pop," and also mentioned that Al technology is already being utilized in K-pop."
The thing is, that's only in the English translation.
The Korean article it's translated from doesn't mention KPop Demon Hunters using Al at all. So, how did it get there? Well, the English article, as confirmed by a note at the bottom, was translated using generative Al. So, since different language versions of the article contradict themselves, there's a nonzero chance that this entire debacle is an Al hallucination ITSELF, spawned from an Al translation

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.

Hi, data centre engineer here. The power needed to keep a storage array ticking over is negligible. What does take power is processing. The sort of processing needed for ChatGPT to tell you there are two Rs in strawberry.

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

allegations

Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.

Panel 1: A grayscale person holding some paper is talking to a dark red person.

Grayscale: "You should know, your green friend is actually a really terrible person."

Dark Red: "...I assume you've got proof of this assertion?"

Grayscale: "Oh I do, have a look at this"

Panel 2: Dark Red is holding the paper and looking at it.

Dark Red: "Is this... fandom drama?"

Grayscale: "Read on, it gets so much worse"

Dark Red: "It gets worse but you started with their opinions on a cartoon?"

Grayscale: "Keep going! The really bad stuff starts at page 127!"

Dark Red: "Why the fuck would you put it after the cartoon opinions"

Panel 3: Dark Red rips apart the paper as the grayscale person complains

Dark Red: "Right. Your source on the bad stuff is a cyberstalking group. What a waste of time."

Grayscale: "But if the accusations are true they're really bad!"

Dark Red: "If."

"why do you like this ship instead of this other ship that has a completely different dynamic?"

maybe because... they just dont like the dynamic?

also harassing people and insulting them generally doesnt encourage them to join your community... you would get further by being kind and inviting
