Before we get deeper into this rabbit hole, please remember that not everyone wants to read about sexual exploitation and assault. You don’t have to repost everything about the files, and you do owe people a content warning

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

So anyway, maybe voice actors aren't crazy, greedy bastards for wanting protections against their voices being used to train AI after all
Reposting this with different phrasing

Multiple promotional videos for the new Genshin Miliastra Wonderland mode have been posted

A lot of fans believe it to be narrated by AI voice over

You be the judge

The thing about indie bookstores, they’re a network working towards the shared goal of keeping book culture alive before competitors in capitalism. Booksellers help each other across stores & share resources. As a writer I have a neighborhood bookstore that’s home but I get down with tons of them.

You owe it to yourself to watch one of Dr. Ricki Hirsch's video essays.
I should probably include a link. Be nice to me. It's my first day. My scripted videos are all collected under the "essays" playlist.

just heard northernlion say "I could honk the shit out of a shoo right now" and that just goes to show why everyone should study linguistics because the fact that that phrase is entirely coherent is FASCINATING

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

I've been saying @iamhandaxe.bsky.social is one of today's best living writers for a while! Back in like 2014 I used to share her posts with my writing groups, because even her incidental prose was powerful and inspiring.

To this day I still recommend her to anyone who listens, see attached:

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
