Yes, this is 100% about censorship in general, and the current anti-sexual weirdness that’s going on. But a paragraph near the end of the article is especially telling… ASMR is primarily created by women. Women doing anything will always be perceived by some as inherently sexual (excerpt in comms)

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

Elon Musk sells child porn. It’s long past time to throw that scumbag in prison. Twitter is the child porn site, and all the politicians and journalists who are still on it support child porn. They’re pretty OK with Nazis, too. Good people.

The expanded class action suit accuses X “of shielding child predators by obstructing police investigations into Grok-generated child sex abuse materials (CSAM).” CW for descriptions of child harm and sexual assault.

Yeah, this is my crash out post. The only reply to this was a woke scold about using "CSAM" instead of "child pornography". And it was a woke scold, cause this person, like so many of YOU, don't care one of the biggest websites on Earth constantly creates SEXUALLY EXPLICIT IMAGES OF CHILDREN!

I'm never getting over the fact not only does the website formerly known as Twitter have a chatbot that produces CHILD PORNOGRAPHY on demand, people are still insisting we should casually hang out there. All our politicians are there. Most big corporations are there. Everyone's fucking insane.

Think I'm done with social media as a whole. If I can't stand this place I'm not looking for yet another hangout. Tired of both the dumbass psychos running these websites and the culture of self-obsession they all cultivate to differing degrees. I can feel alone and alienated without go online.

When I tell you guys about Northern New England, I mean www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2026...

it really is just stunningly on the nose that the opening salvo to Trump’s supposed war of liberation in Iran began with bombing a girl’s school. if you put that in fiction people would dismiss it as being too maudlin and heavy-handed, and yet this kind of thing just keeps actually happening.

I, an "AI" super hater, had been avoiding mentioning the water usage aspect cause people I semi-trusted said it was overblown and there's a million other horrible things. And yet: " use between 2 million and 8 million gallons of drinking water per day." ZERO TOLERANCE FOR THIS SICK SHIT!

one google data center in virginia two million gallons of water per day information only released under court order & risk of contempt

tbh i was sort of a data center water use data skeptic until i read these water contracts and now i am just very angry and want answers

if the US doesn't want its military assets attacked maybe they should stop starting wars & fuck off back to their own borders

the US & israel kicked this off unprovoked by attacking a school full of kids, i'm not sure why the fuck i'm supposed to see a headline about their murder infrastructure being destroyed and think "oh no, what a bad development"

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter www.statesman.com/business/art...

Been really wild to watch Rolling Stone make a very obvious shift in editorial direction over the past few months. (And laying off most of the talented people who had been working there.)

Eli Valley@elivalley.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Rolling Stone is publishing pro-war advertorials by an Israeli government agent now:

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini

Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 5mo ago

This is a very good encapsulation of how a lot of us feel about the impact of AI on a day to day basis which is that using it to find information can be more helpful than Google but a lot of that is because Google has gotten much worse

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go. Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

MPR News@mprnews.org · 5mo ago

While the surge of federal agents in the Twin Cities grabbed much of the attention the past few months, stories of children hiding at home, crying in class and being detained have quietly gripped some Minnesota small towns since January.

We need to start building substitutes. This is only gonna keep getting worse and the longer we don't start working out alternatives the more power it leaves in the hands of the billionaire mass-murderer pedophile running the cesspool. Elon could decide tomorrow to crack down on foreign reporters.

"Generative AI" and "doesn't work" appear in sentences a lot together.

Reece@thiccreese.bsky.social · 5mo ago

By building their voice assistant around generative AI, Amazon has created an Alexa that simply doesn’t work. Easy tasks, like playing music or pulling up YouTube videos, go haywire. It’s an AI flop. www.wired.com/story/why-is...
