A screencap taken from the twitch.tv/dreamcon stream on May 30, 2025 during the Tekken 8 tournament. DaPurpleSharpie is looking directly into the camera. She is wearing a red beret and striped dress colored green, white, blue, red, and yellow. On her left arm, she is holding a microphone and is speaking into it. She holds blue cue-cards with the Dream Con 2025 logo on them in her right hand. A picture taken of DaPurpleSharpie in New York City, outside of Penn Station, on August 22, 2025. She is looking directly into the camera, wearing a light blue crop top, and is sticking her tongue out. Her left hand is up in a peace sign. Its a picture taken at OS NYC during the Game Devs of Color Expo 2025 NYC Watch Party. 5 people are standing in front of a panoramic-wide LCD screen, with 3 individuals holding large novelty checks for $7,000: (left-right) Sri Kankanahalli from Zenovia Interactive (@zenoviainteractive.bsky.social), DaPurpleSharpie (@sharpiepls.com), Alia Jones-Harvey from NYC Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment (@madein-ny.bsky.social), Chris James from Dusk Sharp (@dusksharp.bsky.social), and Bian Pasiliao from Dusk Sharp (@dusksharp.bsky.social). Kankanahalli, James, and Pasilio are all holding novelty checks for $7,000 awarded. The novelty checks have the "For" line as "Game Devs of Color 'Made in NY' Grant" and they have been signed by Brian Chung, one of the directors at Game Devs of Color Expo. The screen behind them displays the Game Devs of Color Expo logo with the following text underneath: September 22-25, 2026 A screenshot taken from the YouTube video for the 2025 Indie Game Awards. The image has yellow triangle corners and a purple background. In the center is the 2025 Game Devs of Color Expo custom art image of two femme presenting people in front of a window. The white text reads: "The Indie Game Awards - 2025 Recipient for Industry Impact"

just looked up canva's privacy policy and they DO state they use artificial intelligence to determine background features (presumably to remove backgrounds automatically)

if you're using canva's background remover, it would be using an AI tool to edit your pic

this is the ONE reference i can find, and once again: no link to the material. no direct quote from the person that is being referenced.

why would anyone listen or believe this writer?

it genuinely feels like they are just capitalizing off an anti-AI sentiment without showcasing the proof
Earlier this year, Benioff publicly stated that AI had enabled Salesforce to hire fewer people while maintaining growth. However, in subsequent interviews and internal communications, he acknowledged that human expertise remains critical, particularly in customer trust, relationship management, and problem resolution. On “The Logan Bartlett Show,” Benioff said that AI now handles roughly 50 percent of customer conversations and cited AI’s role in processing large numbers of previously unattended sales leads, framing it as an operational improvement. Executives now concede that removing large numbers of trained support staff created gaps that AI could not immediately fill, forcing teams to reassign remaining employees and increase human oversight of automated systems.

> "In recent internal discussions and public remarks,"

which ones? name them. link them.
show me where you are getting this information from if you want me to take it seriously.
In recent internal discussions and public remarks, senior leaders at Salesforce acknowledged that the company was “too confident” in the ability of AI systems to fully replace human judgment, particularly in complex customer service scenarios. According to executives familiar with the transition, automated systems struggled with nuanced issues, escalations, and long-tail customer problems. The result was declining service quality, higher complaint volumes, and internal firefighting to stabilize operations that had once been handled by experienced staff. You cannot put a bot where a human is supposed to be “We assumed the technology was further along than it actually was,” one executive said privately, reflecting a growing recognition that AI performance in controlled demonstrations did not translate cleanly into real-world customer environments.
