“I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club. I didn’t sign the waiver to let him use AI on ‘Spider Noir.’ I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again, but that’s okay.” #FuckAI

I’m a Sunderland fan but have never heard of Charles Befon, Tommy Cubeth, Berly £thman, Aldy Hodgn, Glenn Donien, Tommy Eleef, Paul Aguees, Petry Holls, Betery Ward or Tommy Soal. DON’T USE AI folks.

When identifying something that's clearly AI masquerading as authentic, don't explain how you know. Ridicule it, for sure. Make sure everyone can see how shit it is. But don't show your workings - leave it to the fuckfaces who push AI to figure out for themselves how to make it less shit. #FuckAI
If only OpenAI displayed similar concerns about the environmental impact of AI. I don't think they have the inclination or imagination for that, though. #FuckAi #FuckOpenAI www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Across the US, workers are souring on AI. The tech industry has insisted that AI would make workers’ lives easier and more productive, that the more people understood and used AI, the more they would like it. Something closer to the opposite has happened.

Going through Netflix and blocking Youtubers who have started appearing on the kid's profile feels like a victory but one of the few victories left in the world now.
Companies with 'eco' in their name who use AI in their promos. Fuck's sake, twats. #FuckAI #FuckyouforusingAI
