Deleted TT today, that new ToS is super concerning. I feel good about it, should've done it sooner. Plan on spending my free time reading my books, finishing my games, drawing cool shit, and putting hexes on shitty people 👍

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect.
The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.
the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?
