Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

If this is a known issue, your automated system has an ableist problem you have known about and did nothing to stop for how long?

It's an automated system, so unfortunately this is an error that gets made surprisingly often with prosthetics.

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

Snapped this pic of DHS conferring with the IL state police just before ICE attacked the crowd, while state and county police assisted them. ICE said, "This is your first and only warning" and then instantly attacked. We were not in the road at that time. They just wanted to assault us and film it.

There’s no rule of journalistic neutrality that requires you to say something is “unclear” when that is objectively untrue. It would be illegal. There’s absolutely zero ambiguity about that fact. Saying it’s unclear is making a false statement in your reporting.

It is not clear that Mr. Trump’s image can be featured on a coin. An 1866 law enshrined a tradition that only deceased people could appear on U.S. currency to avoid the appearance that America was a monarchy. Trump admin is planning to do it anyway.

ICE must be destroyed 🏳️‍⚧️🏴 @miawong.bsky.social · 5d

Deeply fucked how many people seem to think that blaming Diaspora Jews is somehow more radical than accepting the bitter truth that the American Empire and the politicians who maintain it are so fucking evil that they're backing a genocide because it benefits Empire

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 5d

Honestly if you're blaming Diaspora Jews for Israel you're not blaming western politicians. That's the goal, in fact.

And Israel serves *their* interests, particularly those of the American empire, not ours. Believe me.

There's something to be said about how people started to expect artists to do things for free because we used to do tutorials and stuff for free but now that we need money to live (like you) you are surprised we TOO need to eat, so now yeah we have pay walls too like everything else down to WATER!

The thing I respect about Greta Thunberg is that she understands most people in the Western world don’t give a shit about atrocities until someone white is affected.

So she’s doing what needs to be done to keep up the pressure.

If more white folks followed that example, we’d all be fine.

I did a minithread on why I think a lot of this is, but the main takeway, is that I think they believe queer people in general and trans people in specific make their audience less attractive to whoever they are trying to get money from.

They actively want us gone because it will make them more.

thai is what I really want people to understand:

it doesn't matter how good of a poster you are or how many people you attract to the site if those users don't make the user base wealthier or more exploitable for money.

if you make the user base "worse" in terms of potential income, you are "bad"
