it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

Around 10k authors protest AI commercial research exception with publication of empty book

Someone over on LinkedIn said to me that building a Feed of over 1,000 artists who don’t use AI is “rare these days”.

It really isn’t though — I think all of us artists know that.

We need spaces where our work isn’t drowned out by slop.
We can sustain and thrive in these spaces.

It’s why the SciArt Feed 🐡 isn’t open to everyone with the hashtag, but I have to approve them first.

One of the best features of Bluesky Feeds: if someone posted AI slop in the #SciArt Feed, I can
a) remove the individual post, or
b) remove them as a contributor and all of their posts disappear.

Photo of a sketchbook spread filled with a bunch of silly drawing of cats done in ink and acrylic markers. Most of the cats are black cats, but there’s two green alien ones, one of which is flying in a saucer.

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.

The Senate must reject this bill.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

It's time to learn your ABCs of Black Lady Comic Pros. 🖤

Swipe through to meet them. Then follow them, buy their work, and tell someone else about them.

And this is just the ABCs. We are just getting started.

I'm biased, but please support your local theatre, and for that matter, please support your local café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We need you all.😊

I low-key love that they tracked down one of the few surviving actors in these episodes and invited him to “do some historical interviews” and then sprung these on him.

"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

I think about this a lot.

What heartache resides in this endless cage? #ProjectViolets

No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.

Inside the Dirty, Dystopian World of AI Data Centers The race to power AI is already remaking the physical world.

For the people erecting these data centers, poisoning Black people is a fun bonus on the way to building their ai god.

I want us collectively, as a society of vibrant humans with agency and self worth to reject AI and put all of these sociopaths the fuck out of business.

Some cloud photos I’ve taken while traveling across the country are so unique they border on the absurd. This was painted using one of my “unpaintable” pics as reference. Photo was probably taken of the western sky while crossing a highway overpass somewhere in Appalachian Mountains. 10”x10” oil

US development bank left without oversight after watchdog let go The U.S. development bank is left without environmental or human rights oversight after the director of the Independent Accountability Mechanism is terminated.

The Development Finance Corporation, a key U.S. foreign policy tool with a 200 billion dollar investment war chest, jettisoned the director of its environmental and social oversight office last week. The office is now totally unstaffed.

They call people who don't like ai "denialists" and meanwhile the dude is just saying this out loud

The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were “DEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.
