Folks please try to support your streamers outside of the Twitch Ecosystem which eats 50%, via Kofi patreon/Merch/Art and more I often Recommend people get Twitch Turbo for Ad Free Viewing, its the cost of 2 Subs, but If Twitch Keeps going down this AI Road, I wont be anymore. #vtube #vsky #kofi

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

I wouldn't have any problems, 'cuz I don't use it. Unlike weirdo ai-slop consumers, I actually like to engage my brain & interact the world around me, & I value my ability to create or learn on my own without a machine spoon-feeding me garbage that it hallucinated & vomited into existence.

I have one answer.

There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.

s. e. smith@sesmith.lol · 8h ago

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

Did you know you can just go out and get a scruggly dog? Just pick them up in the park, and bring them home? It's that simple- at least it is in Please Be Happy 💖💫 www.twitch.tv/luci_ferrous...

A reminder that the person who called in the tip on Luigi Mangione never got paid- typically tips don't get paid until a conviction is made, and ICE isn't taking anyone to court! Times are tough, but don't stoop to snitching if all you're going to get out of it is looking like a naive bootlicker.

Hey is it good for democracy when an illegal secret police force operating on the orders of a wannabe dictator tracks down its critics

This is like 90% what the Nazis did with "degenerate art." Except they're wording it as "accountability" and denying student loans (which already restricts who can and cannot achieve higher education)

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d ago

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

Hey all my partner needs help. The job hunt has been brutal and the bills keep coming. You helped us keep a roof over our head so help her keep her phone and meds.

I fucking lost my job to Covid. The center I worked at had us at 4 employees a cubicle and suddenly had to downsize to 1 per. I wasn't "lucky". Two entire ass years spent on unemployment checks, years of wearing facemasks whenever I left the house, wiping down groceries. There's no REVISING this.

K.B. Spangler@kbspangler.com · 2d ago

I have no idea what to do with this Covid revisionism. It feels like the bad kind of group therapy where you help each other ignore facts. We don't have to go *that* far back in the social media timelines to prove how fucked up it was. We were so scared we were scrubbing eggs and baking the mail.

Hey AI fucks just put a beard of existing characters for portraits in your table top games. The worse the funnier

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

My latest shrimp designs. c: Hoping to make them as stickers once my bills are paid off. I also have designs in process for sticker books and notebooks. Slowly working on them while drawing out my commissions as those are more important. ;w;

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.

I hate begging for help, but I really need it this month. I’m still struggling to pay off the loans I have. I’d rather not take on anymore work for art as I’m catching up. Reposting helps a lot. I also have coloring pages and weapon designs on my kofi shop. Please,, I really need help.

✨ Alppy ✨@mxalppy.bsky.social · 2w ago

I put a new goal on my kofi for my August expenses coming up. Please do share this around as I'd love to get this all by the beginning of August. ;w; Next month may change for me financially. But my appointment with OVR is in the later half of the month. ko-fi.com/missalppy/go...

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

After we published this interview the NYT went out of its way to try to smear us and bury it. And here we are, stronger than ever, about to hit our fundraising goal thanks to a wave of support. Trans journalism will never die. transnewsnetwork.networkforgood.com/projects/302...

Trans News Network@transnews.network · 5d ago

Reminder that we published an extensive interview with a former editor at The New York Times who laid out, in detail, how the paper's pushing of anti-trans bigotry was both very intentional and directed from the very top of the organization. The NYT plays a direct and major role in trans genocide:

So the short version is my bank sized my account and 1000 dollars because I'm working with a debt relief company. I have to transfer all my bills to a new account elsewhere and I'm scared because i don't know how I'll pay my bills. I have a mortgage and insurance coming out in 2 days. #mutualaid
