'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

This whole thing really shows how using AI, in *so* many contexts, violates a foundational part of the social contract. If your audience was built of people who admire your discernment and creativity, then outsource both of those traits to an LLM, the audience will leave.

Hank Green Admits To Using AI After Fan Backlash Over Recent Video

'The level of dopamine I've been getting from interacting with LLMs is not healthy for me,' said Hank Green

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...

why tf are these AI "philosopher" accounts all following me. i'm not fucking interested. if you decide to feed a bunch of old dead guys writings to an LLM and then made a fucking bot about it, you should kill yourself.

I kinda believe that if a scripted tv show good enough to be worth giving a series order to, it deserves at least two seasons. it takes at least that long for many shows, especially comedies, to settle in enough that you can actually know if they're any good.

i still just really feel like AI stuff is basically illegal. like I don't think a good faith interpretation of "fair use" entails vacuuming up everyone's intellectual property to build your chat bot. that sounds wrong to me
