This is good to see.

I will continue to note that:

1) The CEO says they're still using GenAI internally.

2) Many developers are continuing to use GenAI tools, but more so in a less visible way (coding assistant, UGC tools, marketing). For some developers, especially in Asia, it's more overt.

silly #SciArt redrew of the I DO NOT THINK THEREFORE I DO NOT AM meme, but it is a very fuzzy beefly with rosey cheeks, tiny wings, and a lot of question marks around her, staring forward with huge anime eyes.

life easy when no think only cute and fuzz

Never related to a meme harder than I do with this one right now

A drawing of my femsona sitting very cutely on top of a brick wall. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater, highwaisted jeans, a purple bracelet, purple shoes, and glasses. Text is laid over the image that reads: "Repost if you like boobs or if you desperately crave for the AI bubble to burst and consequences to happen to certain men in power." My watermark is also over the image at a lower opacity.

Felt cute today, might delete later. 💅

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Her name's Toph because she's tough

I think about this a lot.

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.

i wanna be a ditto too....

Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.

I'm so tired of having to defend porn made by consenting adults for consenting adults when our government is run by literal child predators that are hurting people everyday

Continue loving your friends. Love your community. Stand up for the marginalized. Support and help each other. Stronger together is a saying for a reason.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

You have to speak out against censorship and surveillance legislation. Its the source of all of this.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

This is hilarious.

Also, completely enraging.
