I agree that there’s some real horrific irony in AI conglomerates being permitted to launch the Madness Inducing Porn Spigot while actual, human porn producers are getting harassed off the internet.

Again, this is not what needs to be done. "Why are you breaking the law & violating the Constitution & your oath of office?" is the question. When he doesn't answer it, the next journalist needs to ask it, & then the next one, & the one after that. Stop giving him & John Thune free passes every day.

There are so many responses savaging the looks of these men. It's taking the easy way out. There are plenty of people who look like those men and are not racist sacks of human refuse. Something is deficient in their souls. In their minds. In the manner in which they were raised.

I've been wanting to do this for a while, so here we go. This is a thread of some of the reports coming out about the issues with genAI, specifically negative impacts on people.

I'll do my best to keep this updated while it's relevant.

Happy #PortfolioDay y'all! I'm a Colombian trans butch artist who makes horror, particularly gothic and surreal hauntings, who's #WFH looking for #comics work! And if you're an editor, I have some very fun and spooky #GN pitches you can check out 👀

I'm sure there are many lovely marketing people/studios out there. However, this kind of thing happens so often that if you say you work in marketing, I am immediately FrySuspicious.gif

My personal headcanon:

Piranha from The Bad Guys: transmasc

Gangle from The Amazing Digital Circus: transfem

lead, petroleum, and asbestos are the holy trinity of "genuinely extremely useful and the best at what they do, but will also absolutely fucking kill you" because if you don't know about lead poisoning, climate change, or mesothelioma, there's really nothing that beats 'em.

Great news! We have built the Blackmail Machine from the classic sci-fi short story, "Help, The Blackmail Machine Is Selling My Sex Dreams to Stephen Miller"

it’s so funny (not really) they keep doing porn bans all over and meanwhile these rich losers are like we got our creepy uncanny valley goon material coming soon and it’s gonna be the only porn you can access

That being said, any trans person who regularly runs to the Nazi site to say "all the leftists are mad at me" while posting screenshots in order to instigate harassment isn't on the trans community's side no matter what good they did in the past 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tell me you're desperate for revenue without telling me.

Seriously, imagine your elevator pitch is "we offer an AI that revolutionizes the enterprise, answers questions at a PhD level, and also talks dirty to horny young men." It would be like if PornHub was selling a productivity suite.

respirators are means of liberation; maintaining health by protecting our lungs from airborne irritants, be they allergens, smoke, pathogens.

this modern, multi-use tool is the thing you’re looking for. it shows others, as we go about our days, that things are not normal, that they could be better.

we’re in an extraordinary time that calls for extraordinary action. wearing a respirator may not feel extraordinary, but when masks are stigmatized if not criminalized, it becomes so.

it’s a helluva lot harder to #Resist without your health—preserve what you & your community have. mask up.

Shut it down folks, we have a winner

The framing “it’s unreasonable to ask me to mask” reminds me of climate change discussions - “it’s unreasonable to ask for net zero” etc - bc ppl think of the politics as more “real” than the science. Sometimes things are hard or unfair but reality and science don’t care
