be wary of using ChatGPT as a source for Vampire Knight
I've noticed a rise in AI usage within the Vampire Knight fandom. AI generated art, AI videos, and now there are several posts here where people cite chatgpt as an official source.
Chatgpt is widely known to be unreliable. The AI generates responses by learning patterns from millions of data. It speculates on its' responses. The AI doesn't conduct research. It uses the data its been trained on, and the information across the web. This includes social media sites: Reddit. Tumblr. Tiktok. You could state the most outlandish claims, and the AI will cite your post as a source for it to reference. The AI cannot differentiate between biased opinions and actual facts.
This is why chatgpt isn't a reliable source to use for metas, since it can provide false information to us. Their company issues a disclaimer to warn users of this.
I will demonstrate how unreliable it can be. I asked several questions about the conclusion of the manga.
According to chatgpt, the manga ends like this: Kaname died; his death was needed to stop Rido, and vampires.
Through the power of love, friendship, and teamwork, the duo were able to defeat Rido, and restore peace to the world.
people need to understand more that some disabled people will never be “carbon neutral” or plastic free. A lot of people need plastic or other manufactured goods to STAY ALIVE. “oh we can bare to lose a few more humans on the earth” okay how about the leaders of countries who are responsible for killing millions and damaging the ecosystem beyond repair. How about you think about why you are targeting a minority already so very targeted for something they have very little effect on.
Not a fish post. Google sucks and you should all move to their competitors.
See post title.
Essentially, I was using a gmail account as the contact email for an Ao3 collection for a fandom event that i run and google in all it's infinite stupididy decided to flag it as a child (I am an adult, RIP) and then refused to see reason.
getting flagged means:
you cant send feedback about issues anymore
it messes with safe search settings
cant see anything age restricted on youtube
get told to take breaks on youtube
and other bullshit i am sure
it wants your ID, credit card, or photo to prove you're an adult (which doesnt even work sometimes)
anyway! google also uses your date to train their AIs so that's also a good reason to leave them, in addition to the tangle of issues with age verification (it's invasive, and bad for the internet. i mean that.)
anyhow! i personally recommend proton for email and such, i use it and it works well:
Over 100 million people use Proton to stay private and secure online. Get a free Proton account and take back your privacy.
(not sponsored)
they have many apps that google does and are supposed to be a lot more private. they also have a good VPN if you need one (you totally shouldn't *wink wink* use it to get around your country' age-gating rules)
Get fast, secure VPN service in 140+ countries. Download our free VPN now — or check out Proton VPN Plus for even more premium features.
oh and for writers out there, cant recommend ellipsus enough as a gdocs alternative, it's a little rough around the edges still but they're very anti-AI and it's actually built for writers so yeah Ellipsus is awesome.
Write, edit, and collaborate on any device. Ellipsus is a principled alternative to Google Docs—built for writers, by writers. Sign up for f
obviously i am not sponsored by any of these but i do use them and like them
anyhow, fuck google, fuck age verification, fuck clankers, delete your google account and use one of their competitors :)
I was training an intern at work today on how to clean up our database and she casually asked me “so can I just ChatGPT this” and I was like. Babe we’re working on a database where all of the input is done by (inconsistent) human beings, and this data will be used in all of Latin America to decide what medications are going to be made and where they’re going. Using AI to clean up this data could literally cost human lives
Seeing people I know and like using AI is making me understand the protagonists of those old time sci fi dystopia's.
"Oh I don't normally use AI, I just wanted it to plan my trip"
You lived on this planet for decades, you know what you like, there are hundreds of websites where you can type into any search engine " things to do in [area]" and have at least a hundred different options.
"Oh I only use it so I can figure out what to make during the week with what I have"
The most popular website as you type in "recipes" into google have sections where you click dinner- quick and easy and those usually rely on staples + 1 or 2 items. I found 30 recipes on chicken alone.
"I had a writing idea, so I typed a few sentences into Chat GPT and I was able to write 20 pages with it."
We'd really, really really appreciate it if you could help share this petition. As of the 10th of July 2026, our Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago has signed and MOU with the USA in order to provide land and infrastructure to host AI data centers without the permission of the people.
This is highly likely to further exacerbate our water shortages and power outtages. The petition is organised by Syam Nath and our demands are to:
call on the Government of Trinidad and Tobago to suspend approval of large-scale AI data centres until comprehensive environmental, water resource, and infrastructure assessments have been completed, independently reviewed, and made available for public consultation.

I really hope that as a country we can actually organise protests and show up. I don't know how much a petition can weigh in on a decision like this and I don't know how willing people are to take the time out of their day to fight against this. This is all we have at the moment.
Suspend Approval of AI Data Centres in Trinidad and Tobago
Google says all music uploaded to YouTube is legally theirs to use to train AI on
Google says YouTube’s terms of service grant a “broad license” for AI models to be trained on music uploaded to the platform in response to
Tl;DR:
Google is saying that any music uploaded to YouTube is legally theirs to use in AI training.
This was to try to throw out a copyright case where the victims were trying to sue YouTube for allegedly using their music to train their AI
full discussion
“A new court filing claims that when indie artists upload music to YouTube, they grant a "broad license" that covers the AI initiatives of parent company Google.”
“Google says in a new court filing that YouTube’s terms of service grant a “broad license” for artificial intelligence models to be trained on music uploaded directly to the platform.”
“This argument came in Google’s Monday (June 8) motion to dismiss copyright infringement litigation filed earlier this year by a group of independent artists, songwriters and producers.
The lawsuit claims that Lyria 3, the AI music model launched by Google in February, was trained on songs ripped from YouTube without compensating artists.”
“The case is among dozens that have accused AI companies of illegally training their models on copyrighted sound, text and images in recent years.
In most of these lawsuits — including ones brought by the major record labels against AI music generators Suno and Udio — tech companies have argued that the so-called fair use principle of copyright law allows them to create transformative works without licensing the training data.”
Instead of making a fair use argument, Google is saying “they actually do have a license to train AI with the songs uploaded to YouTube by these indie artists.”
Google says there’s no evidence for Google using their specific works, but also that they have the right to use
the motion cites a clause in YouTube’s terms of service that states, “By providing content to the service, you grant to YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use that content (including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display and perform it) in connection with the service and YouTube’s (and its successors’ and affiliates’) business.”
“if Google’s argument is accepted by the court, the company would be legally permitted to train AI models on and otherwise utilize that content for “derivative works.” However,
the situation might be different for music distributed through YouTube pursuant to licensing agreements with labels and publishers.”
Music usually has licensing that protects them from copyright issues
