"Repulsive" doesn't begin to describe, and her parallel with the Human Centipede is spot on.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

The entire AI debate is basically a bunch of tech bros stating, "We're going to steal your work--and even your face and voice" and artists angrily saying, "NO!"

A statue of Donald J Trump and “best friend” Jeffrey Epstein has appeared on the National Mall. An accompanying plaque says that it is in honor of Friendship Month. The National Park Service approved the installation. #ReleaseTheFiles

So, how did everybody's rapture go? Had a good time in the Big Upstairs?

I took the opportunity of not having to worry about the consequences to eat ALL OF THE THINGS (if you have a forcefully limited diet as I do you'll understand the feeling)

It's Sept 16th.

Instant unfollow

Are you trying to argue with me about it?

Instant block”

There is a small cartoon portrait of myself, a round-faced Asian guy with round glasses and short hair, saying, “I’m just not that patient.”

You want marketing for your game/book/thing?

Go commission an artist to do some fanart of it. Like give them some materials and then let them draw whatever fanart they want, cute doodles, a big finished illustration, whatever.

This is so woefully underutilized!! I want to do this lol
