You are not an "AI artist" - you're an AI prompter. You are not an "AI writer" - you're an AI prompter. You are not an "AI designer" - you're an AI prompter. If you used genAI, YOU created nothing. You're taking credit for a technology that did literally everything for you.

Ben Newbon@bennewbon.itch.io · 7h ago

If you commission a work of art, that doesn't make you an artist. If you pay someone to write a book, that doesn't make you an author. If you ask a person to create a design for you, that doesn't make you a designer. Getting genAI to do something is not the same as YOU DOING THE THING!

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

More than ever, we all need to stand together against this BS. We got through before, we'll get through it again - together.

once again feel the need to say that "Parasocial" doesn't mean "friend with a streamer" it's a one sided relationship with someone who doesn't know you. I regularly chat to my viewers individually both on/offline, a lot I'd call good friends, that ain't parasocial just because of how we first met

If Twitch goes the full AI route I'm not in a position to leave but I'll want to step down from the affiliate program It'll mean no more subs/bits/emotes/points etc. but that seems a small price when they'll no longer get a 50% cut of my income I'll have to push for Kofi tips more to stay afloat

Labour for Trans Rights@labour4transrights.bsky.social · 13h ago

Today the new Code of Practice comes into force, systematically excluding trans people from public facilities and services across the UK. It will go down in history as the Starmer government’s shame. But it’s not too late for Andy Burnham to change course.

When they said “there will be no toilet police” they were always just saying so we need You 🫵 to be a toilet vigilante and sniff out the gender deviants

This is what they expected and wanted to happen: that members of the public, shown the cops would take their side if they kicked off and went mental at anyone they suspected of being a transgender, would then start going apeshit en masse and enforce their wacko ideas for them.

If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com

You help out Jack or I will invoke the great and terrible Lambie Pie to curse you. I know she looks like an adorable dressed up beanie baby lamb. But she *will* fuck you up. Facts. So at least give him a boost. Or else.

I'm still in the hospital, recovering from major surgery. Missing work and income, still have to pay the plumbers and my regular bills. Struggling, help if you can. I'm almost out of the hospital, but im still way behind financially #ttrpg #MutualAid ko-fi.com/ofgodsandgam...

I like the concept of sufficiency being added here because it does open the door for a discussion of CripTax. CripTax is, basically, when it costs a Disabled person more to live at the same or equitable level of comfort as a non-Disabled person.
