I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field.
There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks

AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers
Software and customer service are most at risk right now and could be the canary in the coal mine.

Every single convention organizer, publisher, art director, project manager, etc. who's even once entertained the thought of using genAI imagery or LLM generated text at any stage should be paying *full* attention to how popular DragonCon is becoming for enforcing their "no genAI" policies.
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

Real discussion:
CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan
Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me?
CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

Collective Shout, the group that took credit for bullying Mastercard into recently censoring more platforms, stated that apparently it took them ~1000 phonecalls to convince them to give them what they wanted?

There is a bill right now in the US trying to pass
It would make it illegal for any financial service provider to prohibit or inhibit any legal transaction
It's called the "Fair Access to Banking Act, H.R.987 in the House, S.410 in the Senate"
Call your representatives if you live in the US !!!!

Hello to all my fellow boring file and rank leftists on the phone with Visa right now, calmly and politely telling their CS representative we won’t be emailing instead and logging our complaints. It’s how the conservatives pressure, and it works for them! Let’s try it.

I don’t wanna wade into discourse but I will say punishing the business being coerced by Visa instead of punishing Visa is not the best direction for our anger to go in. We need to organize a pushback. They will try to send you to email but politely refuse and ask them to log your complaint.

Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art

Oh my god
Brits can get around Discord's age verification thanks to Death Stranding's photo mode, bypassing the measure introduced with the UK's Online Safety Act. We tried it and it works—thanks, Kojima
The UK's new act blocks access to adult content without identification. Turns out, you only need a copy of Death Stranding and a phone to get around it.
