The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

My favourite internet thing right now is this guy on the BoH food service industry subreddit posting photos of his cut chives every day until nobody has a complaint anymore. It's been almost three weeks. One guy called the long bits "gnome penises". Another always draws airplanes crashing into them.

The silencing and professional destruction of anyone opposed to apartheid and genocide was the immediate precursor to this.

I may just be an American bumpkin but how did the violent murder of a 15 year old trans girl get turned into a national campaign about how phones got her to self harm?
Most of us have pathologically useless parents who don't care to learn about protecting us properly, but this dogshit really takes the cake.

This is not this fellow's fault but I'm tired of the "we" formulation with regards to all this shit. You & I have nothing to do with legalizing and tolerating Trump's crimes, but we know the people & political party who do. It behooves us to name them instead of assigning blame to everyone with "we"
A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

a couple of years ago, whenever i'd say that joe biden should be doing this or that, i would get responses from his supporters explaining that the president can't just do whatever he wants. he has to follow all these rules and norms and laws and such, apparently

Fascism attracts freaks who couldn't succeed in a more legitimate system. The fascist leader hires them because, being incompetents and miscreants, they owe their position entirely to him, personally, since they could not rise to such heights otherwise. This guarantees their loyalty.
this administration comprises a world historical constellation of freaks: lady who married a guy who could be her grandfather, bulimic adulteress, childless cat shrew, adult catholic convert, a nosferatu, four different types of closet case, asian viking, guy who literally starved widows. majestic

He always sucked but it’s just so degrading that Alex Jones just does a show about how he loves the president now.
Extremely funny that INFOWARS has agreed not to publish anything without the explicit consent of the US government
The far-right conspiracy site Infowars says it has signed the Pentagon press agreement and says Breanna Morello will be joining the 'new media' press corps covering the Defense Department.

"I won't be moving to D.C. of course—thank god," she caveats. x.com/infowars/sta...

just saw a big-time "so give up, peon" piece going around
See today how many times you can mentally append "So give up, peon" to the end of the headline or story. If it works, ignore that story, which is not reporting but propaganda designed to make you as broken and afraid as our self-appointed masters
There’s only one reason it would be “important to remember” that presidential power has expanded (in an era of increased congressional dysfunction) and that is to view Trump’s actions as normal.

We're at the point in the story where the FBI is showing up at a dude's house because he attended a protest. Without suspicion of a crime, agents ask important questions like who produced signs for the event.

And it had an impact--he decided not to go back to the streets to voice his opinions.
I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.

While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

By the way if Platner was serious about his duty to the country and not just in it for the power, he'd have already stepped down. Republicans are gonna run "see they have Nazis too" ads in the general and he knows it and his team knows it but they don't care.

This is a drum I've been banging for a while -- if it were true that higher taxes made rich people flee for low tax areas, there would be no rich people living in CA or NYC! It's a claim that's used a lot by anti-government types and it's long been visibly and demonstrably false.

It’s not lost on me that Cuomo, who has been repeatedly credibly accused of sexual harassment, is using AI-generated examples of gender violence to try and smear his opponent, who has never been accused of it
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

If you're zip tying children in public you've done worse to them in private, I would stake my actual life on it
After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.

The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.
