companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat
they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

Artists are already self censoring to avoid losing access and their jobs. The high poisitions in the arts will be given to those willing to avoid ever really saying anything.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

artists aren’t the fucking bourgeois or “elite”. every artist i know can barely make rent. every artist i know is one severe enough hospital bill away from being homeless. we’re not all banksy or andy warhol. sick of this idea being passed around as we deal with companies exploiting us constantly.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

For real though, after NFTs and when the AI industry crashes the economy, people really should listen to artists more. We called this shit with both of them from day one. I was so mad about it in 2022 that deviantart tried to get me to debate them in a Twitter space.

This is the part where they're going to pretend every single one of us who were correct about "AI" for the past few years actually wasn't, because that would mean the media, tech executives and most of Wall Street were wrong.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

Unless you have a tremendous platform, posting is not activism. Boycotting is activism; organizing is activism; having the hard conversations with people who don’t already agree with you is activism; putting your body on the line to disrupt means of production is activism. Posting is just posting.

pointless to say this but the democrat leaders should be out there banging the drum that they're going to tear these agencies apart & prosecute every single masked fash who ever did some shit while refusing to identify themselves
Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work.
The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.
