fields of mistria 1.0 update today and i was looking forward to what they did with the museum but they’re just on tables… genuinely thought this team would’ve done aquariums and landscapes for the creatures (disappointed lol)

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.
ok also you know how i had to contact etsy support for the copyright infringement? no reply, its been a week. genuinely wtf

politics suck in canada man. ever since tr*mp, the conservative provinces have gotten more extreme in defunding healthcare, education, arts, and attacking trans youth. we don’t really have any true left leaning politicians either. the SK NDP pretends they are, but they dgaf about data centres
this is crazy bcuz the fires are out of control and his “AI for All” ideology is being pushed on us. i genuinely do not like this man
Every Canadian should be able to see our national parks. That’s why we made them free to visit all summer — with the Canada Strong Pass.
bird commissions are open! 🪶 I'm trying to get more bird art in my portfolio but right now i can't afford to make more unless I'm being paid. please pay me to draw birds! email: inthedirt@mailfence.com #commissions #birdart #sciart
I say this with all the love and patience I can muster: Quit X/twitter. You’re gonna be realizing the mental damage it did you for years after leaving
i saw my first ever polyphemus moth last night on our 10 pm walk. i’ve never seen something so HUGE and fluffy
to my fellow canadians, if you want to order native wildflower seeds + a cool variety of veggies, check out northernwildflowers.ca. it's where i got all of my seeds! i just placed an order for next years purple tomatoes
so this shop has stolen some of my best selling stickers (ONE OF THEM BEING MY DOG!!!), put it through gen AI, and is now selling them. i've emailed etsy for copyright infringement, but if all of you could report for the item not being handmade i'll love u 4ever www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Calm...
i’m in love with this book but she’s getting to the part where she talks about climate change and declining wildlife populations so i have to take a break :( my climate grief is at an all time low
seeing US healthcare bills is so crazy, wdym you get an invoice after you see your doctor. i just get a business card with the next appointment
A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
If you're a birder that thinks genAI is okay, I don't want to know you. I'm really sick of people trying to justify it. At this point, where all the info about AI, climate change AND environmental destruction is common knowledge, then you clearly don't give a flying fuck about the environment.
