I'm Drako. I write on ao3 and reblog shitposts and art on tumblr too: linktr.ee/drak0nis. The fursona is a striped hyena.
I aggressively mute/block, and I don't follow back. Posts and shares may be NSFW or generally crude, and most of my writing is intended for adults. AI use is a block on sight.

Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly.
Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help!

“Why Are We Funding This?”
Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

Speaking of things that were trendy despite being basically poison and got shoehorned in where they were unwanted and unneeded during the 20's, one of my local friends has begun referring to genAI as "radium"

THE NEW VINE WILL TAKE YOUR CONTENT like everybody is excited because “vine is back and they don’t allow AI!!!” But that is only because they want new content to scrape for training AI. Don’t be fooled.
Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.
Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.
The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

Furries, do NOT buy this game if it is using any of that generative ai BS. Even if it is "just a little". This is how they slowly add it in and make it more accepted, and they WANT that. THAT is their plan.
