Hey with all the new accounts coming over, this is your reminder, repost your old stuff. If you're an artist, musician, podcaster, Youtuber, whatever, go ahead and repost your old works. Don't be afraid to promote yourself

And if you see stuff you like, repost it, help everyone find their audience

“Flock's ambitions go far beyond license-plate surveillance,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @404Media.co. “Flock's goal isn't to catch stolen cars, their goal is to have total surveillance of everyone all the time." www.404media.co/flock-expos...
Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves
Flock left at least 60 of its people-tracking Condor PTZ cameras live streaming and exposed to the open internet.

Fuck all of you saying "this is inevitable" or "it's here deal with it" or even "it's fine"/"it's not a big deal". Be antihuman on your own time. This is a moveable needle. It's ruining lives (mine included already), ruining the environment, ruining art and creativity, isn't needed and isn't wanted.
The AI Backlash Keeps Growing Stronger
As generative artificial intelligence tools continue to proliferate, pushback against the technology and its negative impacts grows stronger.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

Please do this. Please. I repost my friends shops all the time. I don't often get reposts for my book, but every time I do it makes me feel so happy. And universe knows I am in short supply of happy things right now.
hey, I am not gonna doompost about it necessarily but, a glance around will tell you it's a hard & stressful time for artists, and especially so this year

consider dropping a kofi donation, or reposting a shop link, or even just, leave a comment so someone knows you like their work

it does matter

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

"We hear you, you don't like AI. But what if... you did like AI? DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT???"

🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
I've done some AI product consulting and product folks are often like "well but if AI helps generate ideas, doesn't that make your life easier?" Brother that makes my life harder because then it's DOING MY JOB????? which I ENJOY???? and additionally it makes it WORSE because it does it shittily?????

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

Yet another example of what happens if we allow LLMs to become a form of epistemic grounding for society.
This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

This is an impeachment offense, and if our press were worth half of a quarter of a shit, it would be all over every single channel, kind of like Joe Biden being a bit slow with a name now and then.
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

This! Please, if you’re enjoying The Witch Wolf, post about it. Tell your friends. Word of mouth is HUGE for us. We don’t have Goodreads or whatever, but commenting on the Webtoon or at least just posting in the #TheWitchWolf tag is really helpful.

Do this for everything you read. <3

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Hey artists and makers - if you’re seeing very few sales right now, please know that it’s not a reflection of your worth or skill. Across the board, not making back our table fees and expenses, and that’s really scary.

If you can, please shop small this season. We really need your support.
