People who believe in “Ethical AI” must also believe in warm refrigerators, edible toxic waste, and billionaires who prefer to fuck adults.

Holy shit, that’s just actual theft.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

WHY NOT JUST DRAW IT YOURSELVES THEN DUMB FUCK
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

So if you ever wondered why there was no push to punish AI companies for infringement, identity theft, CP, or any of the various other things readily accessible because of them...
Here you go. It is a FANTASTIC tool for misinformation and propaganda. That supersedes all the rest.

Blanket censoring the word “gambling” is literally a pro gambling move.
Gambling platforms avoid the word for obvious reasons, so YouTube eliminating its use under the pretense of combating gambling is the best fucking cover a gambling platform could ask for.
It’s pretty disgusting.

YouTube removed another of my anti-videogame gambling videos for being pro-gambling.

Everyone loves AI so much that companies have to quietly smuggle it into our lives and hope nobody notices.

A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available.
There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism.
Support real artists, not con artists.

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
