it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

OH NO!
I ACCIDENTALLY COLLABORATED WITH ICE.
WHEN WE DONT SLOW DOWN AND USE SALUTE* TO VERIFY INFORMATION, WE SPREAD FEAR IN OUR COMMUNITY, CAUSING UNDUE STRESS, WORK RELATED ISSUES, FAMILY STRAIN AND MORE IN AN ALREADY STRESSFUL TIME.
WE DONT WANT ICE AROUND, WE WANT DUE DILIGENCE DURING A POTENTIAL SIGHTING, WHICH INCLUDES ON THE GROUND VERIFICATION.
SIZE: HOW MANY AGENTS/ OFFICERS?
ACTIVITY: WHAT SPECIFICALLY ARE THE AGENTS DOING?
LOCATION: GIVE AN EXACT ADDRESS OR INTERSECTION UNIT(S): WHAT LETTERS, DETAILS, OR PATCHES ARE VISIBLE ON THE UNIFORMS/JACKETS/VESTS/VEHICLES?
TIME: WHAT PRECISE TIME DID YOU WITNESS THIS? THIS IN FO SHOULD BE SHARED QUICKLY.
EQUIPMENT: WHAT DID AGENTS HAVE WITH THEM? EX:
WEAPONS, FLEXICUFFS, DOGS, DOOR BREAKERS, VANS, ETC

Anti-Ice Action. A black circular band with the words anti-ice and action at the top and bottom respectively. Inside the band is two ice scrapers slightly overlapped in black over red

when it’s 20° out and you’re blowing your whistle for all you’re worth and trying to document the license plates of the three vehicles assigned to abduct one terrified person while six large, armed, masked agents throw him on the ground and six others point chemical weapons at you, it changes you

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.

everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.
