#reading As our 'overlords' working hard on dumbing down everyone, reading comprehension will become more and more a superpower, a vanishing skill. So, be proud that you can read. Tend it, keep it sharp. And enjoy it.

#book #FuckAi I understand that the book market is dense. I understand that a catchy book cover can help you to promote and sell your book. But you know what is it that certainly won't help you? A book cover generated with Ai. 1/2 continue⤵️

#FuckAi The most funny thing for me is - because of my fierce genAi-hate posts - that someone put my account on a "techphobe" blocklist. 🤣 Oh dear, dear silly darling. You know fucking nothing.🤣

#FuckAi There is a fucking "Ai art community". Are you... are you... fucking kidding me? And they are even crying to not have a bigger crowd. They are the "underdogs". And they want to recruit new "talents" I'm crying too.😭

Screenshot of a bluesky post, with a very small portion of a genAi generated pic.

I love #WolfWednesday #AiArt #AiArtCommunity.A screenshot of a bluesky thread.

Carl Bethea V:

It seems like BlueSky growth has slowed,
and especially the art community.
Claude is more blunt, "raw signups are still
rising slowly, but actual usage/engagemen
has been declining for over a year." Which
means we need to be even more diligent
about supporting new Al-art enthusiasts!

Then comes a genAi pic that resembles some soviet era poster, with the text "Ai artists unite"

Carl Bethea V
Claude made a smart remark: "It's a fair
trade if what you're after is community
rather than audience - X likely wins on raw
visibility and follower growth potential, but
Bluesky's version sounds like it's optimized
for actually being known by the other 39
people, not just broadcasting into a feed."

mp-willow.bsky.social:
Interesting. I do enjoy your posts, art
and others.

Eric | Builder of Nightm.:

I believe our community is shockingly small!

Carl Bethea V:
Yeah, I have that same feeling. All thet
more reason to highlight new talent
when we find it. It seems like we're
the underdog here in the land of Al-art
haters; so, we need to support our kind
of people. Unfortunately, X has fostered
a me-first kind of attitude that's toxic in
this forum.

#FuckAI Oh, poor poor Hank Green had no other choise, he "needed" to use genAI, because the workload, blah blah blah.😭 And if there wouldn't be any slop-machines, then Hank Green would google the topic, and use the first poorly written blog post as source without any fact check? 1/2 continue⤵️

#FuckCelebrityWorship Do you forgive that friend who invited you to their birthday party, but also invited a known transphobe, homophobe fascist too? Do you forgive a not well-known artist you are subscribed to, after you catch them using genAi? Then why do you try to find excuses for celebrities?

#FuckAi "But every service I use have inbuilt Ai functions by now". What you can do: - try to find services that don't do that. - don't use optional genAi functions in those services if you can't replace those sevices. 1/2 continue⤵️

#religion #fascism "There are good christians too". Yeah, there are good people who happen to follow christian religion. But when there is an overwhelming worldwide trend of christo-fascism, then please forgive me when I'm tired to vet any single christians if they are fascists or not. 1/3⤵️

#capitalism One of my childhood's biggest lies is "work hard because the lazy will never achieve anything". Is there some morality in capitalism? Fuck no. Or if you work hard some gods will reward you, and if you are lazy they punish you? Nope. 1/2 continue⤵️

Give it a try, and listen it. You know, I think, if we would think about the world, our societies as a musical composition, maybe we could have a better human life. Because for the composition to work everyone needs to do their part good. Even if we are not the first violinist at the moment.

One of my favorite albums is "Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons", where the contemporary classical composer remakes the whole of The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, sometimes just taking a small melody from the original and expanding upon it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=41IO...

#politics Russia got 21 sanctions already from the EU, for the atrocities they commit day by day against Ukraine. May I ask, when the EU (and the world) begin the sanction Israel for the genocide it commits against the Palestine people?

#witchcraft #LGBTQIA2S+ If we don't stand against abusers, if we let racists, fascist, sexual predators, transphobes, etc. into our witchcraft/occult circles, then we are not better then them. Don't fucking care if they are 'big names'. Kick Them Out. And Never let them back in.
