If you run across a gen A.I. slop 🤖💩 diagram in an academic journal, I’d love to know about it! Please fill out this form:

Slop in journals is illuminating about journals’ quality control. And journals would like you to forget their mistakes.

The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime is underway and it's not AI:
Official data is in this week, and US solar continues to grow rapidly, with generation up 30% compared to last year!

The Battle of Waterloo, 1815.

Wait a minute, why are they wearing equipment from 101 years later?

Something to look out for when admiring manuscripts from the middle ages is that they often depict events from history with the arms and armour of the current day

(Pretend I painted this in 1916 lol)

This is exactly what I meant by my previous post. Companies gating basic functionality behind sneakily-added AI permissions and making disabling them as opaque and convoluted as possible. It fucking sucks
Ughh, not only does disabling the AI scraping on Gmail smush all emails into one inbox, it also DOESN'T LET YOU SEARCH YOUR EMAILS BASED ON TITLE OR KEYWORD WTF!? YOU DID THAT JUST FINE BEFORE

As much as it’s funny to see use the Twitter chat bots to take the piss out of musk due to him making it worse and worse do remember that the data center behind it is poisoning people and using the site and that stupid bot has real world physical harms.

please, consider sharing
I'm in a pretty rough spot not being able to work (or apply for new work) with my carpal tunnel injury. Put together a Go Fund Me to make ends meet while I heal.

In late September, SubscribeStar updated its Prohibited Content section. The Adult section was expanded to further limit “live nudity” and “adult entertainment promotions”

Degrees of Lewdity recently faced censorship from SubscribeStar as well. No platform is safe

When I was a teenager, the only time you heard about IRL nazis was if someone saw skinheads or confederates hanging around Morton's Gap, and you'd drive up and provoke 'em into a fight. This wasn't, like an everyday occurrence! Nazis knew not to poke their heads out or normal folks would clobber 'em
Ten years ago you didn't hear some new scandal about Nazis every fucking day. This is not normal, and it's not okay.

I get paid 7 figures a year to come up with this shit. Some stuff I have cooking up for you to look forward to: Amazon Prime changing to Amazon Plus. Paramount Plus changing to Paramount Now. HBO Max changing to just HBO. I fucking hate all of you and I will never stop.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.
Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

This is a warning to every artists and clients using PayPal: Leave the note blank or send invoices. Apparently even saying "commission" makes them trigger happy. #SaveSpeech #StopPaypros

And continue the pressure by calling PayPal. Helpful link here: anti-censorship-campaign.carrd.co#phonescript

I'm gonna use this blatant example of someone purchasing adult goods being banned to springboard and say:

Now, more importantly than ever, if you are an NSFW creator using any payment provider for invoicing, you must be CAUTIOUS to NOT INCLUDE ANY TERMS that would single you out as an NSFW artist.
PayPal user in the UK lost their account after buying adult ebooks “about monsters and milking,” “some dubcon stuff”

“My account got banned a couple of days ago for making purchases which violate the ToS. Upon querying w/ staff over the phone I've been told that it was ebooks that I've been buying”

It's a basic point, but one that needs to be repeated:

If right-wingers and their views were popular, they would not be so desperate to control mass media & social media nor to use government power to silence everyone else, and they wouldn't need oligarchs pumping billions into amplifying them.
So you know how many views Charlie Kirk’s memorial got online in TOTAL now a day later ?

26000

Folks are having “dialogues” to see both sides with folks who can’t top a mid level anime food influencer

At some point we admit they aren’t being bullied . They’re racists weaponizing cowardice
