Blue would have so many benefits, just imagine like 40% of the population occasionally turning on a cartoon or sucking a paci when they're stressed, because the shame is gone? Imagine stimming in public and not getting weird looks?

I've always put significant energy into discussing and reasoning through ethical nuances, which might explain why coming out in loud and vocal support of all non-offending sexual freaks everywhere, regardless of their kink, feels so fucking liberating.

You can rage about our problematic kinks all you want if that helps you maintain your sanity. Nobody's forcing you to associate when you don't want to. But we're still going to be here, watching the same cartoons, enjoying the same fandoms, and having funny diaper feelings about it.

I hate that we can't trust anything we see anymore. It started with sneakily replacing photos of the moon with Samsung's high-res PNG of the moon, but now I'm getting regularly punked by generated wildlife videos.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed

the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized

text says:

Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved.
Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like.
Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch.
This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

I don't have a dog in the latest discourse tearing our community apart, but in the most general terms possible, what you do inside your head, in your bedroom, in DMs with friends, or in art or writing, has no relation to real-world harms. I would like more people to recognize that.

@treat.kandicritter.sqky.one

so if you're a minor lying about your age i plead you this: simply do not post. make a completely faceless alt account to follow the artists you like and disable DMs and replies and all that. don't retweet or like, and absolutely don't reply.

I had a dream that through the power of empathy, composure, and a sense for good timing, I inherited a small criminal empire and united two gangs who were until then rather bad about accepting their shameful kinks. Hyped up one of the leaders to try exploring the wide world of pamp designs.
