Remember like 15 years ago, when Russian dash cams of horrible accidents went viral? And everyone in Russia was using them because they couldn’t trust the authorities? Fundamentally, the dash cam and the body cam are the visual record of a failed state. They are a symptom posing as a substitute

This is exactly why you CAN'T let anyone off the hook. Including voters. They KNOW it's wrong and always knew it was wrong to vote for Trump and now we're gonna show em grace so they can vote for Vance or Rubio or whatever comes next? Foh
New polling data shows that it's getting increasingly embarrassing to identify as a Republican, and some Trump voters are slinking away and pretending it never happened.

Yep! We need to undo the mysteriously deep-seated yet rarely acknowledged immunity to tort liability that software companies enjoy. (Where immunity functions not as immunity but as the very cause of action being somehow unthinkable.)
Want to stop deepfake exploitation?
Give its victims a cause of action against the deep-pocketed companies that made the AI, not just against the pseudonymous and likely judgment-proof incel losers writing the prompts.
Promise you the companies would solve the problem pretty quickly

For what it’s worth I don’t use a gmail account and won’t be randomly contacting new authors enthusing about their books and giving them dodgy links to click on. There’s a new wave of author impersonation going round apparently.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

GenAI app makers also didn’t care abt the CSAM in the training data
what’s happening with grok and nudity spam requests should be a global wake up call about AI image gen and instead very few media outlets have even covered it yet

There are people who sense something isn't right with the anti-ai crowd. They see the cult of absolutism, lack of nuance, and absence of reason and it reminds them of other times that pattern happened.
Post-9/11 wars, islamophobia, transphobia, that cuck thing in 2015, etc.
But they don't know why.

Are you comparing anti-ai sentiment to the invasion of Iraq, Islamophobia, transphobia, and cuckoldry?

AIphobia & transphobia are nearly identical bigotires.

This is a super-huge issue in news writing, which almost always gets flagged as AI. News stories are formulaic by design and often have the same cadence and language.
Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.
OMG - f*ck AI for ruining the em-dash for writers. I use them all the time. Of course, what a shock that AI uses them since they were trained off my voice and other authors' voices.

This is smart and beautiful, and seems really under folks' radar, which is a real shame. Think THE UNWRITTEN by Carey/Gross, and that's not a comparison I would make lightly.
You can pickup three issues of my new ongoing series with @morganbeem.bsky.social, The Author Immortal, right now at your local comic shop or digital. A beautiful watercolor portal fantasy that explores death of the author, identity, and what happens when you outgrow stories that raised you.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
