🤔 in dual pov don't you actually get twice the yearning
Someone who fancies themselves an expert on TikTok said “yearning” is dead in romance because of dual pov and we’re not supposed to hear from the MMC that much and I’ll tell you I about had a stroke. Stop punishing us cause you read people who can’t write.
Me, upon hearing that people on threads are calling 3rd person POV “misogynistic”

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

I'm always confused when writers change the plot because a reader figured out what was coming. Surely that's good? Surely that means the breadcrumbs have been laid out appropriately?

I took a minute to send a vitriolic e-mail to OU because I don't think anyone should make the calculation, "caving to the right gets us less shit."

This is one of those times where societal pressure can really work. I disengage with anything I see using AI and I tell them so. If we don't fight this, we could end up in a terrifying new paradigm of digital slavery an order of magnitude worse than we currently have.

ALL you have to do is just not use it, tell these companies you aren't using it, and make fun of people who do. We need a mass collective effort to make genAI extremely uncool, lame, embarrassing, cringe. Everyone needs to react to it with a MOUNTAIN of hostility until they run out of steam.

This isn't unstoppable. It's not inevitable. It's greedy, short-sighted anti-human solipsists that have been rewarded by crony capitalism to the point of being toxic toward society, who think they have the right. These are the same people that want to go to space, but only with the "right" people.

So many people have dismissed me because it's a bubble and bubbles burst, but like, this one needs opposition. This bubble NEEDS to burst, and the entire apparatus of rich people is trying to reinforce it. We have to make AI not only a class traitor thing, but extremely dorky and uncool.

They are trying to cram it down our throats so deep it can't get dislodged. And short sighted, greedy, uncritical people are just lapping it up. One of the reasons I'm so loud and aggro about this is I hope people not paying attention get wind that not everybody is just okay with this happening.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Dubbing with genAI: ‘It's not saving time, it's not saving money, and it could hurt our brand if it damages the quality too much.’
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
