We should make people feel ashamed to be stupid again. It was nice that we all got along for a while, but we need to bring public shaming back.

The use of AI by publishers to field submissions should be shamed, should not be normalised. There is no excuse to replace slush readers with software that may or may not steal your writing for their techbro masters to monetise while putting humans out of work and automating gatekeeping biases.

Is anyone going to do anything? Ever? What's it going to take? You can't put out a song with an uncleared sample without putting yourself in legal jeopardy; meanwhile these people are openly stealing all of human creation and bragging about it! www.nytimes.com/2024/04/06/t...

AI company: we trained this dog to talk. It doesn’t actually understand language, but it kinda sounds like it’s having a conversation by mimicking the sound of human speech. CEO: awesome, I’ve fired my entire staff, how quickly can it start diagnosing medical disorders

Mass adoption of energy-intensive AI is going to accelerate the climate crisis. Sam Altman knows it. The fossil fuel industry knows it. It must be stopped.

I've reached out to the offices of all 22 Democrats who voted to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib because of her comments on Israel/Palestine to see if they planned to do the same for her Republican colleague from Michigan.

Wholly in agreement with this. I particularly wish people would stop spouting apathetic doomer nonsense like “whether you like it or not, it’s here to stay” or “you can’t stop it.” We do have choices. We can have agency over technology. You don’t need to go passive just because these jerks are rich

even if you're incredibly selfish, as a writer you should worry/fear about having AI art on/in your book burning bridges with everyone that hates AI art, including other creators, fucks with YOU. you should at least care about that

It's so funny when AI people are like "oh I just use AI for settings and descriptions, so I can focus on the important aspects like plot and characters." You fools. You cretins. You spit in the face of God

Forgot to keep reposting last year's 12 Days of Izmas. I'm feeling a vague Iz hyperfixation rising from within my soul (not a good time I have so much else to illustrate). #illustration (art post)

"There’s a valid business reason the company is working with OpenAI: Dropbox doesn’t have its own chatbot" I'm sorry, this is a problem how? Not everything needs to have a chatbot, and not everything needs to be "pOwErEd By AI" You're storage, just store things, jfc Protect yo shit
