Eat Me is a XXX story about a world of anthropomorphic food people where if you're nice to them, they'll let you take a nibble. More or less an analogy for vampires. This thread contains the Thanksgiving Orgy Special for your viewing pleasure today.

Every online store I've ever visited emailed me a happy Thanksgiving. Who is this for? Who wants this?

The ironic thing about AI "art" is that REAL art gives us the tools to philosophically investigate why AI is not a good thing, and ignoring real art lets people sink deeper and deeper into a dangerous anti-human rhetoric that dooms us all.

He ran into a wall where the "make art" button wasn't satisfying because it wasn't actually making good enough art, and instead of trying new things he just requests a stronger button

You know, if book ban'ers can organize enough to have someone in virtually every zip code send in complaints, you'd think we could organize volunteers in every zip code to ask for books and check them out.

finally, a headline that makes polyamory seem cool
In a new doctrinal note, Pope Leo and the Vatican sharply reject polygamy and growing Western polyamory, praising monogamy as an exclusive union between one man and one woman.

It's the busiest day of the year for American cheesemongers, and I'm loving it. A woman actually hugged me because I found her a cheese she could eat with her dietary restrictions, and my boss has given me a bonus check. Best day job ever.

the key feature of "bad photoshop" was not that it was "bad" but that you could see the hand of the person who made it. "bad photoshop" is a triumph of human will over technical stumbling blocks. it's why the shaggs are magical and AI Music Slop is forgotten before you can even finish listening

This is a huge contributor to why "health"-based pyramid schemes are so abundant. People can't access real medical care whether because of poverty or discrimination, and these MLMs promise solutions to desperate people.
Absolutely this. I'd add that many conspiracy movements focused on women's health exist because the medical establishment has completely failed women. I know so many people whose doctors drove them to strange behavior in desperation.
Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements
2) they pre-date the age of social media
3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

AI art guys try to sell the tech as a great time-saver/labor-equalizer but also insist it requires LOTS of skill and work. It’s a funny negotiation that gets to the emptiness in how some people see art. Hyper outcome-focused but unsure of how to measure that artistic outcome except by time invested.

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.
