I got reminded of one of my older works from 2016 I did for Age of Arda Anthology. I call it: The first Orcs.

With Bluesky admitting that they are pushing a lot of content here to 3rd parties, I just send their data protection officer a GDPR information request to find out where what data actually goes. Let's see what happens.

They are going to say the same thing about water consumption and electricity costs. Prepare for subsidising it to the point of personal bankruptcy without even using it.
Because it's unsustainable, doesn't pay the people whose work it relies on properly and is used to maximise profit for the rich.

We did it: 🇩🇪Germany will OPPOSE Chat Control! 🥳
Thanks everyone for writing to the ministers. 🫶
#ChatControl will not get a majority in the EU Council - at least for now.

If you are a danish citizen you can also sign this Citizen Suggestion to show that you are against this.
Although the people who made it missed to mention that it's Denmark as a state who is the primary pusher right now.
They are already past the 50K, but the more people who sign this the better.

When you run a poll and find that the public is concerned about AI, it takes crazy levels of AI boosterism to conclude that the public is wrong and the govt must educate them.
Perhaps… the public is right.
Politicians should listen to the public, not the Larry Ellison-funded Tony Blair Institute.

Yeah I could be up for a Luddite renaissance
Protests, mass meetups, conferences—a youth-led movement is reclaiming the Luddite mantle, rejecting a future dominated by Silicon Valley companies, toxic apps, and generative AI.
This fall, a "Luddite renaissance" is in full swing.

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it.
It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

Ireland’s MEPs all have emails you can find with a quick Google.
And they hear so rarely from voters about EU legislation that they pay attention when they do.
It would be worthwhile.
But what would really make a difference would be contacting your Govt TDs.
