i would remind anyone that if you used twitter since like mid 2024 you've legally consented to grok training and modifying your art. if you didn't know this, now you do. if you need twitter for a living, limit what you upload but otherwise just leave
Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts.
Artists warn there’s no opt-out or consent, raising concerns over unauthorized edits and misuse.

BREAKING: Instacart is ending all price testing on its platform in the wake of this report.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.
It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.
Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Shaming rarely works on most people, so I will simply say: follow the facts, both scientific and economic, for they tell the same story:
The pandemic is far from over. SARS-CoV-2 is still spreading; COVID-19 is still disabling millions today. It's never too late to align one's conduct with reality.

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it."
It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Also when you talk about GenAI even to critique it the stats will suggest to investors that it's more popular than it is. So talking about the art you love and supporting artists, is a much more productive strategic choice that will harm the business of AI at scale

You hate GenAI? that’s fantastic I’m with yea but have you bothered to support any artist today as well? All you need to do is share their art and interact with them. Checkout their stores and get others to notice them. If you hate slop you need to make real art flourish otherwise thier is no point.
