Saw a post saying "I don't want NSFW accounts to talk about voting, just let me jack off" Buddy, NSFW artists and sex workers are being constantly attacked by a government of nonces trying to distract from their own crimes by pinning the blame on porn. They have the right to speak up about this.

This is NOT about preservation. They are only doing this to harvest pre 2020's books to use for more training data. They have chosen this method that DESTROYS the book on purpose, because it is faster and cheaper. They know time is limited before society and the bubble catches up with them.

A picture of a tweet showing a woman preserving a book by taking pictures of it in a special picture rig that does not harm the book.

At the internet Archive, this is how to digitize a book.

We never Destroy a book by cutting off its binding.
Instead, we digitize it the hard way -- one page at a time.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

Genuinely starting to believe that A:TLA’s success was a fluke. Does ChatGPT even cite sources? At the BARE MINIMUM if you’re using one of these you shouldn’t use what is plagiarized and possibly wrong or irrelevant anyways. Check your sources and talk to people, ESPECIALLY if they’re marginalized.

citing chatgpt for a character design and eren yeager is a choice???

screenshot of part of tagah's character design sheet from SDCC. text reads "face shape exploration (no hair exploration yet) (please consider that if they are East Asian, the shave + braid queue hairstyles which are specifically Mongolian/Chinese may not be a good fit. Also according to chatgpt, "In general it is not common for South East Asian cultures to emphasize or traditionally have a strong association with beards. Traditionally valued a c clean-shaven appearance or minimal facial hair grooming.")

Underneath text are three images: one a photo of eren yeager from attack on titan and two contending options of tagah's facial shape/hair design: with scruff or a fuller beard

Lot of nostalgia-inspired games go for like... low poly or classic sprite-work... but I await the day we have nostalgia-inspired games based on whatever this uber-specific art-style during the gamecube/PS2 era was. Also... we need to bring the creativity of this era back frfr.
