Please share your feedback on how genAI destroys the livelihoods of artists on the official EU website. You can do so even if you're not an EU citizen. We have to be loud so the change will come, and practice shoes that voicing hatred towards genAI works ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Watching the new Harry Potter series is a clear signal that you'll support JK Rowling no matter how many lives she takes. It shows that holocaust denial and destroying human rights groups isn't a deal-breaker for you. It has never been easier to take the right side of history.

I genuinely am begging people not to watch the new HP show. Like, also don't buy any branded stuff - she makes money off all that. But especially don't watch the damn show.

Just saw The Lovers short film and it filled me with so much lesbian joy

"The Lovers" is now online on Youtube. An indie/crowdfunded Filipino short film by students brand-new to the animation industry. Directed by Alice Mao & Sophia Paez (Studio Heartbreak). >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUa2...

i have a few mutuals where we've never spoken directly, we've only liked each other's posts and that's it. and i hope they know i still appreciate and cherish our mutualship and im sorry to never have interacted more than a like on ur post but i think ur cool im just scared

techbro rake-stepping is a given but Gumroad takes it to a level heretofore unseen, i feel like. it's their whole thing. they're like designing a more steppable rake and jumping out of a helicopter onto it to ensure the handle crashes into their own faces with maximum force. smiling the whole time

-IMPORTANT- Gumroad has recently updated their website with the intention of phasing out the ability to manually edit your storefront and allowing you to only edit your storefront via AI agents. I will be dropping gumroad support entirely in the near future. More to come as I sort things out.

Their whole “we’re democratising art” “stop gatekeeping art” are very clearly bullshit when you see it’s always been about attacking artists, nothing more.

In a soulsy mood today so Mori but actually cool!!!

genAI is rapist technology. lack of consent and thrill of domination/conquest is the feature, not a side effect. it's about taking and violating the sanctity of what's precious to others.

Well, as a surprise to no one #Cara has been scraped again!. Another crook taking what’s not there’s. The damage this is doing to the platform both physically and financially is huge. The #GenAI movement is an absolute curse.

I wasn't sure about posting this one, but it was still another fun experiment so here it is! Of course it is more Vera art because she has been consuming my life 🦢 #art #oc #ocsky #dnd

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

quickly made up some posters you can print! i choose to believe that most HP fans are ignorant about jo rowling's hatred and if educated, would choose better. i don't think this education can be stretched further online. it's up to us to share our knowledge irl. left is letter, right is A4

A lot of people are dooming about the Harry Potter TV Series being an inevitable success that will make JK Rowling a ton of money, but I want to remind y'all they are spending more money producing this thing than any TV series has EVER MADE www.republicworld.com/entertainmen...
