From today, EU citizens have a legal right to know when they're talking to a bot or looking at a deepfake, backed by fines of up to €15m. Thanks to Brexit, we're missing out on this protection.

“It also detected an “unintended consequence” of the ban: the proportion of parents who didn’t know their child had used social media increased by 10%.” Well who could have possibly seen that happening.
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · 3d agoAustralia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage.

This will be the US if the SCREEN Act passes. Call your Senators before August 5 and tell them that you oppose the SCREEN Act, KOSA, and the KIDS Act. Use the official lookup tool at www.senate.gov/senators/sen... to find yours by state.
remember how Riley Gaines’ swimming coach raped a bunch of her teammates? then when her career path became TV Nazi she defended him and he claimed he was being targeted for standing up against trans women in sports? anyway she cares deeply about women and girls being safe.
Bookverse: Meet in Eden - ended happy at the Ritz TV/Show Verse: Meet before the beginning - ended on a cliffhanger at the F15 GO3: Meet after the battle of the Great War - fucked the whole timeline up and everyone died. I am more at peace now. #go3critical
Bernie just explained in simple terms why billionaires spend so much money to buy politicians, judges, and legislators.
It's as if Republicans can only cope with reality by cross-examining it.
in roughly 15 years I’m going to switch my professional focus to giving therapy to kids whose parents raised them with AI and I’m going to make enough money to buy San Francisco
Please hate gen AI even harder. You can do it. I believe in you. Do it for the planet. Hate the lazy, slop producing, environment killing, water draining, participation trophy seeking, poser creating, loser machine. Do it for humanity.

In 1941, Aziraphale tries to do a coin trick for Crowley and one of coins he uses is a farthing. You *could* headcanon that this is something they both carried after that. The first image is a digital collage I made from the other two. #GoodOmens #GoodOmensFanart #MyArt #Nightingales #GoodOmens1941
"Secondhand booksellers across Europe, including in the Netherlands, are raising concerns over AI companies buying large numbers of obscure and often rare books. The alleged intent behind such shopping is to scan and destroy them for AI training."

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠
Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x
Our confidence is not sh*t because we suck. It's sh*t because we've been conditioned to ignore & abandon ourselves every time our needs conflict w/ others' preferences. That's not our fault-- trauma responses are not choices-- & it's something we can work on, choice by choice.
Not everybody has to understand our decisions. In fact, if someone is not working a recovery, not getting real about goals & needs, not committed to seeing what they see & knowing what they know, they live in a different universe from us working our trauma recovery. Oh well.
4:00 AM, the cottage bedroom: Something very lovely about Crowley is that he doesn't require me to be a Certain Way, and things I might say or how I act doesn't embarrass him, because he says he loves all the Strange bits about me almost more that the Normal ones. ✨️🐍✨️
The fact that ai art and writing programs are built on stolen work really seems to be fading from the discussion even amongst artists and writers, which is a bit shit.
So wait a minute, The GOP in Ohio is running a candidate that broke the collar bone of his two year old child & held a gun to his wife’s head & you want me to give a shit about a Doctor that tried to save people’s lives during a once in a generation pandemic?
