Alright besties, we're done with Meta for real now right?
What a misguided and terrible ruling from the EU. They just handed people’s rights, privacy and copyrighted works away for free to a US behemoth. This also affects any company whose work is copyright dependent.
I thought the EU was better than this. Shame on them.

Some recommendations before you post to prevent AI scraping:
🔸Nightshade and Glaze your image
🔸Only upload web-sized and watermarked images to the internet
🔸Crop images shared to social media
🔸Keep your portfolio behind a password or paywall
Good luck! 💛

Today's the final day to make our voices heard against the government's proposed plans to allow AI developers to steal our work for use in training their AI systems. It's theft, plain and simple, but you can object by filling out the IPO consultation.

Alt text is searchable, makes the site more accessible for everyone, and there's even a setting that reminds you to add it when you're posting a photo. Happy skeeting!!
I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

I remember when we were trying to tell folks that amongst the minorities, Black people would be amongst the first to be displaced by gen AI.
Now look at this BS.
Meta have created a model minority person which, if we’re being honest, is made to fit into the white gaze. 🫠

What are we DOING here? We're just meant to sit and act like this insane plagiarism and climate threat that requires more money than anything has ever cost is worth it? Are we meant to pretend that ChatGPT is worth this aimless, meaningless destruction of capital and our environment? For what?
Yeah I need way more money than anyone ever got before. I need it because my shit is difficult right now. But it's important in ways even I haven't been able to work out. OpenAI is a serious business. Help me. Please help me please my serious company is so good. Help me
