Hey guys so uhhhhh
Groceries have become steadily more expensive and I've been feeding 3 people on half of a normal wage because I'm physically and mentally disabled
If there's anything y'all can miss, please consider getting a commission from me or tossing smth in my tip jar: ko-fi.com/beachrrat

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.
You made a difference—so much of a difference.
Rest always in peace, and always in power.

*sigh* I'll say it again: your A.I. generated ResistLib slopaganda doesn't have the effect on your target audience that you hope for. It doesn't make me dislike the President any more than I already do. It does make me think you are an unreliable source of credible opinion or information.

-8% drop in all jobs postings

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.
There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.
Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."
TURN IT OFF.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

Please, please, PLEASE never do this. I don't think I even have to explain… I feel so fucked. When you bid on an adopt, it's a commitment. Backing out means I lose time and income and now have to restart the auction. And lately I'm extremely unlucky with adopt sales. This is so exhausting 😭 Whyyy

Its so demeaning to the life of work they put into their art, and it must suck to have to argue that your work is in fact your own.
If you can draw, that's really cool, I think you are great.

My fellow Europeans, I'm once again asking you to write or call your EU representatives and tell them this is unacceptable. They're essentially selling our sensitive data to companies, effectively destroying our privacy and risking our digital well-being.
