There's no alt text on this, but you don't need to read it. Hank Green says the same thing all these weirdos do: I have ethical concerns about theft and the environment but I also really wanna use it, so *shrug*. They act like they're centrists but they're actually pro-AI.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

PERIODIC REMINDER TO NEVER SUB TO YOUR FAVORITE CREATORS THROUGH THE APP IF UR USING AN APPLE PRODUCT USE A BROWSER USE A BROWSER USE A BROWSER USE A BROWSER THIS IS SO PREDATORY

Nate Bethea@inthesedeserts.bsky.social · 6d ago

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

imagine billions of years of crashing planets and amoebas turnin into fish turnin into you and each choice your great great grandparents made then BANG theres GLORIOUS IMPOSSIBLY SPECIAL YOU. can you FATHOM that entities art being anything less then ten out of ten five stars? ridiculous. its perfect

We need to bring back minding our own fucking business

Friend of the podcast Erica, who wrote a very poignant book on being a young femme otaku back in the 90s, had her book signings canceled by VERY unprofessional folks. If you're at SDCC, go to her panel! If you're not, you can buy her book via my Bookshop portal here: bookshop.org/shop/AnimeNo...

Eri Victoria | "The Fangirl Diaries" Author@scarlet-rhapsody.com · last wk.

Last day of SDCC! Come out and support fandom history! 1) In My Y2K Era - hosted by SDCC masquerade winners from last night! Today at 3PM in Room 24ABC. I'll be giving out stickers too! 2) The Fangirl Diaries - book signing at 1PM to 2PM in Q-14 with Diwata Komiks. Hope to see you all there!

feels like a good time to remind people of this

It'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.

... Okay maybe it's because I'm a "coastal elite" or w/e, but why the fuck DOES she act and sound like every bad movie's stereotype of a crack addict from New York?

"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens

"Bad" art is better than AI "art" btw

Yeah so skip this con

Govt slashed our benefits for a fucking paperwork error-- we can only afford rent. They told us (trans, queer) to "ask churches" for help. 🫠 We have no family to help us, and churches + food pantries aren't accessible to us right now. We hate asking for help still, but we have 0 options.

Thank you to everyone who helped us. This isn't URGENT exactly, the way bills are, but we've been without pain management for a few weeks now and it'd be nice to be able to get some. Plus we are only getting ~4hrs a night of sleep right now. Thank you for any boosting. 🫂

A trio of Senate Republicans from Indiana, Oklahoma, & Alabama have introduced S 4925 a copy of HR 7661- the exact same text, which would ban any book mentioning "gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. Please call your Senators to say NO to both bills! More info below

There are currently three federal book ban bills aiming to ban all trans books from U.S. public schools! HR 2616, HR 8705, HR 7661. Please call your representatives and ask them to vote no on these bills! Follow @authorsabb.bsky.social for updates. #bookbans #bookchallenges #HR2616 #HR8705 #HR7661

Hey all, I have people close in my life running a memorial benefit, with all donations going to Leader Dogs for the Blind. The actual outing was today (and went great!) but I figured I'd give it a bit of a boost - if you have a few dollars to spare, consider donating it to the benefit!
