Harm is so normalized, being against it, offends.

To each other.

To animals.

To the planet.

To one selves.

It's so normal, people are offended if you're against it.

screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Das ist eine kleine Erinnerung, dass der #Völkermord an den Palästinenser_innen in #gaza nicht vorbei ist. Israel kontrolliert weiterhin alle Zugänge zum größten Konzentrationslager der Welt und setzt die Verweigerung von Nahrungsmitteln, Medikamenten und Behausung weiterhin als Waffe ein […]

On the one hand, Reddit explodes every time a single asset in anything game-related is found to be AI, on the other the billionaire CEOs with massive AI investments are saying all the normal people they know don't care about AI use. It's hard to draw any conclusions as to which might be true.

Alle zwei Jahre verabschiedet die UNO eine Resolution, die ihre Haltung gegen Folter bekräftigt – normalerweise ohne Abstimmung, weil keine Gegenstimmen. In diesem Jahr wollten Israel, Argentinien und die USA jedoch demonstrativ zeigen, dass sie diesen Konsens nicht mehr mittragen.

Western politicians say "Israel is defending our values" and all I can think about is images of children disembowelled by Israeli bombs, made in the USA.

In a sane world, the government guilty of committing genocide would be dismantled, and forced to pay reparations. Instead they are allowed to corral their victims into a concentration camp and steal their land. We live in the most obscene of all possible timelines.

A crack
Morning clouds in blue grey tint with a bright crack horizontally going through them. A hill horizon and a house and a big tree in the foreground, pitch black. Some lights of the village still visible.

The thing about Star Trek is that the majority of it has the crew spending most of the episode trying to figure out, through arguing and investigating, what's the right thing to do in a complicated situation and I don't think any shows do that now? Like in a Very Special Episode but not all the time

There's the old canard about "a solution in search of a problem", but AI is a problem generator being sold as a solution.

The reason that we reporters are focused so intensely on the L'affair Nuzzi is that, as Olivia notes, it is a basically apocalyptic scandal in the most literal sense of that term: a dropping of masks. It's acting as confirmation of every hideous story anybody's ever told about political journalists
oliviamesser.bsky.social Olivia Messer @oliviamesser.bsky.social · 1d
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

A reminder that Tim Sweeney is trash, Unreal Engine is trash, and the Epic Game Store is trash. Fortnite, by extension, is also trash.

SUNO r/SunoAl Jo 6h ago Join ThrowRA1234567788777 Sick of having to come up with prompts Discussion ... Hey y'all, looking for some tips here. I like what I've made so far with Suno but now I'm kind of hitting a wall with ideas for prompts. Why doesn't Suno also have a feature to write prompts for you? Like just hit a button the says "new prompt" and then hit make song when it comes up with something that sounds interesting! Thoughts?

If you've got a highly polished promo video for your product, having the narration be an AI voice is a great way to ruin the entire thing.

I think about this little guy all the damned time.

I saw him in the DIA collection almost ten years ago and he's remained a permanent fixture in my brain ever since.

Art is fucking wonderful.

ooo it's so interesting seeing how dual quaternion splines solve extreme rotational differences!

I made it prefer the shortest path within the quaternion double cover, so when control points pass the 180 degree switch with its neighbors, the path also changes its shape!
