Wait, so all the people with ME talking about how horrific it is to live with and how hard help is to get weren't "making it up" like they kept being told? Shocking. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Every person on trial or awaiting trial for CSAM is going to start claiming they thought it was AI, or it is AI, etc. Just watch. All because the assholes making AI couldn't be bothered to prevent it.

Woke up to this news and I’m beyond disgusted. It’s a US *constitutional right* now to create and own ‘CSAM,’ as long as it was made with AI?? AI gen images are built from real images, of real children. This directly re-exploits every single CSAM survivor. (More in 🧵) #abolition #trafficking

A federal judge has ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess child sexual abuse content created using Al if it does not depict a real person and remains in the home. On Tuesday, Judge John Z. Lee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District ruled that the First Amendment protects an individual's right to privately possess images or videos of child sexual abuse created using artificial intelligence if the material does not depict a real person and remains in the home. In his ruling, Judge Lee urged the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue of virtual abuse material of children in the age of Al, suggesting that technological advances complicate existing legal precedent. The case Lee ruled on came about in 2024 when the Department of Justice brought charges against Steven Anderegg, alleging that he used Al to create thousands of explicit images of children. He was accused of breaking federal obscenity laws by producing, distributing and possessing obscene visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Anderegg sought to have the possession and production charges dismissed under the First Amendment. Last year, a judge in the Western District of Wisconsin agreed to dismiss the possession charge, prompting the federal prosecutors to appeal. Lee, in his ruling upholding the lower court's decision, cited the precedent set by Supreme Court rulings from 1969 and 2002. One held that individuals have a right to possess obscenity in the privacy of their home. The other found that "virtual" child sexual abuse material, not depicting a real person is not child pornography.

14 year old me playing Eddie in a stage show of Rocky (and sometimes Dr Scott, but y'all aren't getting me in fishnets) would never have stayed queer and weird without Tim Curry. And I am absolutely not alone in crediting him and that movie with keeping me from denying myself at that age.

Any argument for the existence of God is immediately shattered by the fact two of the world's greatest humans died at 80 this week, but one 80 year old continues to go on. What a fucking cosmic joke this world is

How much of a loser would I be if I tried to find acting or improv classes for adults? I know I'm too old, but also I need an artistic outlet. I should have had kids and just lived vicariously through them like a normal adult.

Does my love of battered and well-adored books come from a complicated, deeply felt affection, or is it because I am bad at taking care of books and just convinced myself I enjoy them that way

The next time I hear someone say they are "vibe crafting" to describe using AI to "write" a book or screenplay, I might honestly snap and hurl myself into the river. Vibe coding was maddening enough
