Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

Supposedly the bubble is in the process of popping right now as investors get nervous about the bubble popping because of investors getting nervous about the bubble popping which would lead to the bubble popping which makes investors nervous about the bubble popping

Economics is so fucking stupid
I wonder how many years after the bubble bursts its going to take to undo the damage this has done to people. Or will they be just another case of child left behind and left to their own stunted devices?

There's a reason why major social media platforms, including Twitter pre-Elon, spent time and resources on "countering foreign influence" or "coordinated inauthentic behavior."

But then Tai bi, Shellenberger, Weiss, Benz, and Jordan showed up claiming that was the "censorship industrial complex"

There is no more decorum. Do not aim high when they go low. Talk about them exactly how they deserve to be talked to. We had years of “civil” conversation and they upped their rhetoric. It didn’t work and it will never work.
This is exactly how everyone on the left should talk about conservatives.

Jennifer Welch on Riley Gaines: “You’re an insufferable twat. Nobody likes you and no matter what you'll always have been the dumb bitch that tied for 5th place. Nobody likes you except for the other fake Christians that enjoy their spare time watching children get ziptied. So fuck you Riley Gaines”

Got a new review on @theartsfuse.bsky.social about the absolute tits that is Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc, an angel(!) sent from the heavens to save us from Marvel Mediocrity with tried and true character melodrama and breathtaking spectacle. Its the fucking tits. artsfuse.org/319160/film-...
Film Review: "Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc" - Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb Girl - The Arts Fuse
Besides Chainsaw Man’s abundant visual pleasures and uncompromising blend of ultra-violence and adolescent sexuality, one of its particular draws is that it's a cinephile’s anime.

NEW: I spoke to original Halo devs about that ICE Halo post

One: "abhorrent”

Another: "Using Halo imagery in a call to ‘destroy’ people because of their immigration status goes way too far, and ought to offend every Halo fan, regardless of political orientation”

Having to explain to my partner, an immigrant, what The Flood is within this context was a heartbreaking part of my morning I never could have predicted
Referring to immigrants as “the Flood” is pretty fucking gross.
impossible to overstate the degree to which we are being governed by people whose formative politics is gamergate, but DHS posting Halo memes to recruit for ICE is pretty close.
