my worst trait hands down is that im always a bigger fan of other people's art than my own art. not to say its bad to be supportive of others but if i just had a modicum of that loyalty towards my own stuff, how much further could i have gotten, u know?
ngl it has been very gratifying to watch so many comedic YouTube people evolve from "here's a funny video about a weird TV show" or whatever to "the machinery of capitalism is oiled with the blood of the workers and the only solution is the guillotine" over the last few years

Sean Chiplock 🟡 🔜 Animate! Orlando (Florida)@sonicmega.bsky.social · 6d agoGOOGLE DOCS USES AI THAT TRAINS ON ANYTHING YOU WRITE IN IT, EVEN IF ITS A “PRIVATE” DOCUMENT. It’s now possible for users to get Google Docs’ AI to share information that is otherwise not publicly accessible, if it was written in Google Docs at some point. You CANNOT trust it w/ confidential info

its honestly one of the biggest "i hate children" tells when they do this shit for YA fiction. brother, i dont know how to tell you that kids, teens, young adults--whatever you call them--are still people that are just now learning how to exist. dont make it harder for them.

i know that the lie of "everyone is already using it" is only being perpetuated to get more people to give in to using AI but i feel like we don't say enough that a lot of people are also fucking lying about using AI to avoid being fired.
