I mean... if you are using Adobe you already are being exploited by predatory business practices, so I guess warn them about WORSE predatory practices, I guess?
Attention Adobe users! 👀⚠️

It was recently confirmed that Adobe's Black Friday sale only applies for their Ai slop Creative Cloud Pro plan, not Creative Cloud Standard. 🤔🔍

Please help raise awareness so that people who still rely on Adobe don't get exploited by predatory business practices. 🚫🤖

Microsoft is now warning investors about the pushback against its massive data centers.

The tech giant's latest earnings reports says: “We also face community opposition, local moratoriums and hyper-local dissent that may impede or delay infrastructure development."

DTE found its way to a loophole in the 2023 Clean Energy law that requires them to get to 100% renewable energy by 2040. Now they want to green light the project that would allow them to bypass that law WITHOUT PUBLIC HEARINGS.

Nope. DTE, show your work.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level.

We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

Matt Feazell is a mini comics staple in Metro Detroit since 1980 (possibly longer), specifically hailing from good ol' Hamtramck, Michigan.

I'm disappointed seeing @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social promoting a pro-Ai book.

For all the talk of book bans, this is incredibly short sighted on how generative Ai negatively impacts writers, artists, musicians, and people in general.

We should demand better from the ALA.

I have no idea if my posts are being hidden, I just assumed my art and music is so niche, only a handful of people may engage with it. Plus, "likes" don't pay bills.

That said, however, I know people enjoy my resource sharing. Makes me happy to know at least that much can get organic attention.

DTE is teaming up with big AI to raid Michiganders’ wallets, jacking up utility bills so billionaires can power a massive data center that will suck up 25% more power than DTE customers already use. 

Tell me, how does this help the rest of us?

Wisconsin just repelled a data center like this. You can do it too! The movement was largely stuff you can do from home and a few dedicated people standing in an empty field. It's very possible to stop this shit before it starts
Governor Whitmer is trying to sell Michigan out to OpenAi and Sam Altman, completely ignoring the threats of Ai.

Michiganders, this is serious business! We're already seeing DTE try to push a new data center through near Ann Arbor and Saline without a chance for public comment! This WILL impact not only our land and water, but our energy bills! SAY NO.
