THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!

Jack Dorsey funded this with his nonprofit AndOtherStuff. The home page for the organization explicitly lists AI as one of its pillars, saying a goal is "making NOSTR the best social protocol for open source AI development and implementation"

A collaborative Nostr funding initiative to develop strategic pillars for the Nostr ecosystem

What is open source AI?

It's a program that publicly shares its code for free online, so that anyone can use it for themselves. This means that anything this AI is trained on could eventually make its way into any business, social media site, etc. That uses this code. Or, if not, it'll have the ability to harvest content as well as this.

Even since the app doesn't allow AI openly on the videos themselves, the app is likely to use our original content to train its AI. You might have seen that some AI have experienced a positive feedback loop of declining quality, training itself on other AI slop until anything it produces is unintelligible.

This is likely an attempt to prevent that in video format

Then, any other company that wants to use the code can use this better trained AI to make it even harder to recognize AI across the board.

You can read about the connection to AndOtherStuff, as well as the developers' reasons for the project here:

Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive | TechCrunch

Jack Dorsey backs diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive of six-second, looping videos. A new app called diVine will give

TLDR; do not give Jack Dorsey any credit for this, do not download the app, and tell others not to either. It's a nostalgia-bait attempt at fueling another AI model

hot take? idk. victor’s fascination with the figurine of the pregnant woman not only hints at the oedipal tension tied to his mother and the image of milk, but also anticipates his desire to create life without a woman’s involvement. the figurine becomes a symbol of the natural, maternal power he tries to control and surpass. in attempting to usurp the role of the mother, victor’s ambition reveals a deep misogyny, his belief that intellect can replace the body, and creation can exist without love or nurture.

[theautisticjedi]

One thing about Frankenstein I don't see people talking about is how the Creature doesn't ask for a wife from Victor, he wants a companion. Victor takes it as him wanting a wife but the Creature never said that. He just wanted a friend.

I'm Still Yours

by Rebekah Jordan

Cara Miller had a great life. A slow, if not often boring, job at a stable company, a family nearby with a niece who adored her, and a cute apartment all to herself. She had the comfort of a favorite TV show, a large fandom community, and a dark desire that kept her going on lonely nights.

Ryan Hale, star of the beloved sci-fi action show, Resistance, was handsome, talented, and adored by millions of fans. He had the perfect life: a gorgeous wife and two growing boys at home, and his name in lights. The only thing he didn’t have was a way to battle his demons and keep his stress in check. 

When they found each other, it was magic. She kept him grounded. He kept her as his own. It wasn’t perfect, but it was theirs. They controlled the shadows, they made the rules. 

Even the strongest love can be tested, and promises can bend to new experiences. When Ryan’s co-star, the sexy actor Jacob Westerly, sees his bruising handiwork, Cara and Ryan have no choice but to show him their world. They let him into their secret as well as their bed, and things are great... for a little while. 

Dive into Cara and Ryan’s secret BDSM affair and discover how lust and jealousy can strain even the strongest bonds.

Broken Wings - Sneak Peek

A Story From The MCU

~ Bucky is free but his mind is not. Plagued by guilt and nightmares, he struggles to find an ounce of comfort in his new life. Maybe Y/N is what he needs, even if just for one night…~

Bucky Barnes x Reader

6,512 Words

Warnings: NSFW, PTSD/Nightmares, Angst, TouchStarved!Bucky, Longing, Romance, Smut

...The door opens and suddenly he’s gripped with fear. He knows he won’t get back to sleep; knows there’s no way to close his eyes again tonight and not be haunted by the wrong he’s done. He doesn’t want to be alone. 

He’s at the door before he realizes it; a dark blur in a rush of speed that makes Y/N gasp. He grabs the edge, metallic fingers curling into the chipped paint and holding it there half open. He tries to speak, to ask her to stay with him. He needs to talk, needs to feel someone near. Her hand is so close he can feel the warmth beating out of her, and the invisible touch makes him feel so cold, so incredibly empty. 

Her look softens, her shoulders relax. He doesn’t seem angry anymore. He looks sad. 

“Are you… OK?” she asks, her voice timid and kind. 

Bucky’s chest hurts and he wonders if he’s even capable of having a heart attack. No. It’s just a psychological ache pushing into the physical. He releases the grip on the door and tries to speak. He doesn’t know her well enough to dump his pain on her. They’ve only ever been in the same room together a handful of times. She doesn’t deserve or want his crap. He swallows hard, pushing the pain aside and closing the gates. 

“Yeah,” he lies. “Sorry. I just wanted to say thank you. Again. For the mail.” 

She smiles gently. He’s not OK, but he doesn’t want her to know. Of course he wouldn’t, who is she to him? Some random woman tasked with keeping an eye on his apartment while he’s running around doing important things. 

“You’re welcome, Bucky. Anytime.” 

He lets her go; engages the locks behind her. He drops his forehead to the door, closes his eyes and hates everything that he is. He can’t ask for help, can’t ask for anything. He’s not worth it. 

Y/N stands frozen in the hallway. She looks back as Bucky’s door closes, sighs when the lock clicks into place. Worry swarms in her gut. She shouldn’t leave him, but the door’s already shut. If he wanted help, he would have asked.

In addition to a little pizzazz in the dialogue tags, these are also super useful as part of the narration, or summing up/paraphrasing something that has been said, or even in a character’s dialogue as they describe how someone was talking!

Can I fucking help you?

[lucifer-is-a-bag-of-dicks]

just a heeeaaads up that some of these art commission scammers are upgrading their technique

they will now actually take notes of things that really happened in your fic, they make it sound personalised and genuine, but there's a way they talk that feels weirdly artificial, there's always a vague mention of some 'ideas' they have, if it raises your hackles trust those instincts and tread carefully, because ultimately-

they will ALWAYS LEAD YOU TO A SECONDARY LOCATION

suddenly changing up their writing style is a big red flag, wanting to take you off platform to some other site showcasing their 'art' is an even bigger red flag, REAL ARTISTS DO NOT DO THIS

no matter how genuine they sound, trust NOBODY advertising their art in your comment section, trust NOBODY who wants to take you off platform, NEVER go to that secondary location

STREET SMARTS!

[jadesolayray]

The only time someone should be mentioning their fanart in your comments section is when they are

A. Asking if they can draw fanart of the fic

Or

B. Telling you they drew something for the fic and where to find it

Also, be aware that there are bots going around accusing people of using ai in their fics, those are AI bros being mad they were called out about scraping ao3 and other art sites, don't pay attention to them.

[lucifer-is-a-bag-of-dicks]

👆👆👆

important additions

the AI brobots will usually say something about some discord blacklist they've put you on so people will know not to touch your work, it's all bullshit, there is no list, don't believe a word of it

[deathcomes4u]

This is happening on FF.net as well, just a heads up. The usualy pattern is someone following you or your story, then immediately dropping a gushing comment about one of your fics and finishing with 'I have so many ideas, please message me on (PM, insta, discord, whatever). These are all scams. I'm so sorry to any newer or younger writers who are seeing what seem like genuine, really lovely comments, but you can't trust any of them.

[imposterogers]

I’m seeing so many ppl openly hate on steve rogers endgame ending which is genuinely bringing me out of hibernation but I’m afraid if u r a new fan u will never understand the trenches we (steve loyalists) went thru in 2019. like we’re talking I was put on steve roger anti lists and called a misogynist 20 times over just for saying steve retiring in the 50s was out of character

[imposterogers]

“you just wanted ur gay ship to go canon” “you are a steve hater” Babe it was WEIRD to send a symbol of progress who is opening against oppression misogyny racism etc back to the 1950s (the epitome of trad values) and for the writers to say he wouldn’t do anything (including save his best friend from being tortured) and if you can’t admit that…..yikes

My dear friend and fellow Hades fan @theshitpostcalligrapher just pointed out that Hecate has these twin braids that you don't really see in the talk sprite in game cause it's kinda cut off

And now all we can think of is Hecate as a grizzled dark magic hatsune miku

WAIT WAIT

listen i do not have the spoons to dig out the ol drawing laptop and make this happen but i'm saying this art SHOULD exist in some form ok

It’s funny to me that Magnus Archives started out with mostly “normal” ghost stories & held back on the really weird stuff until later seasons, whereas with Protocol we’ve gotten the following in the first twelve episodes:

- Guy Who Murdered His Wife Gets Turned Into a Tree While Running From the Cops

- Man Made of Needles

- Demon Antique Enthusiasts Who Crowd Crush People

- Janitor Runs Away From IRL Timelapse Only to End Up in a Cannibal Restaurant in the Void

- A Guy Just Straight Up Gets Run Over by a Semi Truck

- Knockoff Barney the Dinosaur Shows Up to a Strip Club and Starts Smashing Skulls
