I DON'T WANT THIS. We're facing environmental catastrophe and instead of putting all our efforts into tackling it, we're making it worse because tech bros have decided we have to spend billions on less reliable search engines and pics of people with seven fingers.

Israeli forces disguised as hospital workers and civilians entered Jenin’s Ibn Sina Hospital and assassinated three Palestinians as they slept. The brazen killing marks an unprecedented escalation in Israel’s war on Palestinians in the West Bank.

Okay so you’re working on a technology that requires a totally new, abundant energy source to keep running

Techbros: yes

What does it do?

Techbros: plagiarism, basically

Tell me how anyone thinks this is something other than a massive scam

Dear other artists,
I have just discovered that uploading pngs to webglaze or running pngs through Glaze produces FAR more desirable outcomes than jpgs. Wish I knew this beforehand as I'd be uploading all my works as pngs! A small tippy tip from me to you. :)

For fuck sake, writers, STOP USING AI ART. Stop using it on your book covers, stop using it in your book promos, stop using it to show what your OCs look like, stop using it as "inspiration," STOP USING IT. You want your artform respected, respect other artforms. There is no ethical use. None.

All Joe Biden had to do was cancel student debt and not do genocide

Of the 150 Palestinian prisoners released in the Gaza truce deal, 98 had reportedly never been charged with any crime.

Hundreds of Palestinians are routinely kept in administrative detention, which allows Israel to hold them indefinitely without charge or trial.

The International Red Cross left four living children, who were patients at Al-Nasser Hospital, to die on life support machines after officially promising the hospital director to transfer them to another hospital.

There is no other job where you can accidentally kill a random person for no reason and have this happen and they still never shut the fuck up about how they’re under siege

For weeks palestinian students have said they feel unsafe. Not unsafe as in uncomfortable, unsafe as in targets of possible violence. But not only has this not been taken seriously, certain universities have even agitated against them. 3 kids shot in vermont, 1 kid run over at Stanford, and more

Jewish Voices for Peace has completely blockaded the Manhattan Bridge 🖤🇵🇸

The Biden White House & US weapons manufacturers are fueling what even the NYTimes is now calling a “historic” slaughter of women and children in Gaza.

One down one to go

An updating NBC newsfeed on the three Palestinian students shot in Burlington, VT:

There's no forgiving how the world made Palestinians hold their dead to the camera. So their loss was not disbelieved. Though it was still dismissed. How they had to plea that they love, bring & teach life. Show us their pets so their humanity wasnt questioned? No forgiveness. None.

This is one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen which considering the events of the last month and a half is saying something.

You can tell the measure of AI by how many skeezy ads are trying to punt it
