I had a neurospicy acquaintance with MS, who did freelance art. Her style was similar to what early AI slop produced.

Her commissions dried up. She became a couch surfer, depressed, lost her insurance and access to her meds.

Then killed herself.

Every AI data center should burn for her pyre.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

As creatives and people who still enjoy art during these times- we must continue.

We must create & enjoy humanities contributions to making this world better through the eyes & hearts of a community.

Write the stories. Create with all your might. Guide on through truths.

Humanity must persevere

Let’s identify this guy and have him removed from his position.

May his retirement be very, very long and may he never sleep more than an hour of it. May he wake up sweating to find his only company is the silence of vengeful ghosts.

Also may a Minnesota tick give him a red meat allergy, because he seems like the type who would absolutely melt down.
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.

They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

This weird thing where people are like “ICE is not the Gestapo, they’re slave patrols” and then others are like “ICE is not slave patrols, they’re CPS“ and it’s like ok the guy in charge of ICE is dressing himself like a Nazi so yeah Gestapo but also fascists can learn from more than one thing!!!!!!

This is one of the most insane protests I've ever been to. Tens of thousands of Minnesotans in -20°F (-28°C) cold with absolutely manic energy. We are going to throw these goddamn bastards out of our cities.

ReedPop, the company behind #NYCC, has ties to ICE.

I have no words for how disgusted I am. I've been going to NYCC for years. I met friends there who became family. I looked forward to it every year. It was my safe space and it's SUPPOSED to be a safe space for all.
