openai’s new ghibli “generator” is explicitly an intentional attempt at humiliation of a prominent objector

openai is culturally fascist as well as functionally fascist

it’s not an accident

God, this blog post resonates in my SOUL
Attacking openAI's (and other LLM grifters) infrastructure is at this point "community self-defense" for the whole internet. They're literally a DOS attack funded by some of the richest and most evil men on the planet.

This morning's quick reminder: generative AI is a natural resource-guzzling plagiarism machine that exploits creatives to enrich tech bros.

Do not use it to create art or writing.

Do not conduct "fun" experiments with it to show us how awful it is.
