“As part of this update, public Instagram profiles are now automatically opted into being fodder for generative AI remixes. All someone has to do is tag your account’s profile in a prompt—if it’s public—and they can use Meta AI to generate an image using your likeness.”

(what? a cosplay post? from me?) Excited to walk the stage at XIV Fanfest in Berlin in a few weeks! I'll be wearing Alphinaud in the Moonfire Faire yukata, with a Y'shtola who will also be wearing a yukata! 😁

ENOUGH

What the fuck is it good for? Im asking sincerely. Medical people say its shit for diagnosing, its utter garbage for creative fields, it cannot teach and hallucinates false answers, programmers have to fix its code half the time, businesses find it doesn't help productivity and it causes psychosis.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

Happy Pride Month!! 🏳️‍🌈 Reflecting on how grateful I am to live in a place now where I see open expressions of queerness almost anywhere I go 🥹 Nowhere is perfect, but it makes me smile from ear to ear when I see couples comfortably holding hands in public and pride flags in many unexpected places 🩷

We didn't bully the Square Enix president enough. If he's at Tokyo or Berlin, we need everyone to boo as loudly as possible since using GenAI is his big loser idea. Don't let up on this post here & on other socials. Be angry but don't be mean to the social media team, this was not their decision.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

If they can figure out how to offer this at an accessible price point, they will be printing money

From the test broadcast: dir./prod. Naoki Yoshida says they are experimenting with a way to make figures of player characters by submitting screenshots. They've tried to deploy something like this in the past but the quality wasn't what they wanted. Formal announcement planned for FanFest.

If you follow me on Instagram and you receive a notification about me joining or downloading Meta AI well, IT'S A FUCKING LIE. Meta is blatantly lying to us in order to make us download that fucking sludge-generator. I would never touch GenAI with a 10 foot pole. OP www.instagram.com/p/DVN3Ac2DG9p/
