The narrativising of this is kind of maddening. OpenAI's model didn't "break free and hack HuggingFace." Meta's model didn't "break free and hack another company." Tech companies are blatantly doing illegal acts and saying their AI did it on it's own as a promotional stunt. That's it.
Alex Hanna@alexhanna.bsky.social · 8h agoIt keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.
Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it
SOME GOOD NEWS! continue to contact your reps re: KOSA and the KIDS Act, but also give yourself a pat on the back if you called! Your voice mattered!
Free Speech Coalition@fsc.bsky.social · 15h agoSCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!
I was so thrilled to be asked by Molly to read Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains” for the story’s advent. What does luxury and convenience and complacency leave behind? What is a manicured corner worth in a mutilated world? Can I make “will” the important word in the sentence?

@caseyexplosion.bsky.social I ended up playing Still Wakes the Deep and watching your video! Outside of a few areas where it's a bit janky it was good. The Beira D is honestly probably the most terrifying part of the game, I never want to be anywhere near an oil rig. Rennick can go to hell.
Wikipedia remains one of the most useful things online. No subscription fees, no ads, no stupid pursuit of AI, all curated by relentless nerds. Maybe remember to throw them a few bucks every now and again.
Fuck you, @amnestyuk.bsky.social Hey everyone, let them know what you think about this. Don’t bother trying to be polite.

Here, go watch my video on Still Wakes The Deep, I think it's my best one so far.

Wanna do me a little birthday favour? It's a bit of an uphill struggle for me to get eyeballs on my videos, lots of people don't know I have a YouTube channel and I'm working on video essays these days, so if folks could help me out and spread the word? That'd be nice! youtube.com/@caseyexplos...

This is what happens when you try to do something without learning how to do it first. All those apps, all those web sites, all those patches, all those Linux commits, all of them ticking time bombs because dipshits thought "vibe coding" made them real programmers.

AI hallucinations are a remarkably easy vector for cyber criminals, who can anticipate hallucinations with hidden malware.

this strain of progressive/leftist thought that even pondering the questions of "how the world works" is bad needs to be stamped out if you do not know how society works and are incurious to learn how, you do not deserve to make decisions for society
I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.
Do you know why airlines are so safe? Because we regulate the ever-loving shit out of them. You don't have to like government regulations. They can be annoying. I promise they have saved your life. They happen when people get hurt or die. Every single one is written in blood.
I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.
Jon of The North@krauza.bsky.social · last wk.Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
I challenge my trans sisters not to aspire to mean-girl-ness. Female bullying isn’t more acceptable.

The next Bandcamp Friday - a day where Bandcamp waives their share of proceeds and sends everything to the artist - is August 7th!
Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 3w agoIt's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.
kept on thru 00's and early 2010's. I'll never forget meeting a friend's animator bf who tried to bond with me (read: neg me) that his art escaped the "anime cancer" I went "oh, honey, no, you're dumb". he was so mad he couldn't stop bitching about my elitist ass for a week so my friend dumped him
Zero Utopia@zeroutopia.bsky.social · 2w agoGenuinely impossible to make people understand how much most the United States in the 90s hated and looked down on anime if they didn't live through it.
Gonna be real: it's deeply shitty to aggressively demand that artists who worked on a large project guarantee to you that nobody who touched the project used AI. They can't know that and they're not responsible for that. They can only know things within the scope of their own job.
For many years, people didn’t randomly film others in public—not because we didn’t have the technology, but because the social contract said you didn’t do that. That’s why Meta is going full court press on their PR and celebrity endorsements. They remember how people ran google glass outta town.
I *do* believe any support (passive or active) of A.I. should be met with harsh critique and condemnation. I think it should be stamped out and spit upon. I also believe in waiting for a response from the actual creatives / further information before disregarding a whole studio and its art.
I know that showing grace and being charitable in the face of potential wrongdoing is difficult, uncomfortable, and may make you look supportive of said "wrongdoing." I still struggle with that. But I'm sick of trying to burn down people/art because I'm too quick to buy narratives.
Chiitan loves all genders 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 Because I myself have no gender. Even now, transgender people are carrying deep anxiety— yet I believe they have the right to freely love the ones they desire, and to live together with their true soul.
Please let Coyote vs Acme actually be good I won't be angry if it's not I'll just be very very sad
I got my advanced ticket to go see Coyote vs Acme. Guys, we complained, and protested, and said clever things on the internet. Now the movie is coming out and it's time to put our money where our mouth is and support this film. #GoSeeCoyoteVsAcme
