For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

Keep thinking about this Austin Walker post that now lives in my brain. It's a reply to people saying genAI can help creators 'develop concepts' and waste less time on research (x)

this recent trend of teenagers using genAI chatbots to talk to fictional characters is fucking grim. what you should be doing is roleplaying on private messages with your friends until the lines between you & the characters begin to blur & you develop some very complex & confusing feelings for each other that culminate in a massive fallout you dont have the tools to process nor understand

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn

“First season of LEVERAGE - so he's 21 years old - he shows me his watch designs. I'm expecting, y' know, celebrity strap branding or faces. No, it's engineering schematics of GEARS and shit. Pages of them. Even then, there were none so cool.” - John Rogers

Stop using AI omfg, stop using AI. You do not need it. It is breaking our systems, poisoning our water and air, depleting freshwater. STOP USING AI.

never forget when saruman literally told gandalf "you've been smoking too much weed bro"

[chasetriesagain]

"You're smoking too much weed," says the guy who got addicted to manosphere podcasts on his orb and started a fascist militia with a side hobby of deliberate environmental destruction. Started cutting down trees to own the woke elves.

PSA: If you see right-wing nationalist comments on any posts regarding current events in the USA, including those on ICE activity in Minneapolis, etc... do NOT engage or reply to them.

They are, by and large, bots farming for engagement. Most of these blogs are default avatar and completely empty. You can also typically tell by their username that it was a generated one - nonsense name/word and numbers.

They need to be reported and BLOCKED at a minimum. If you own the post, just delete their reply. Don't engage, don't allow others to engage.

By replying, you are not only wasting your time - you are telling the tumblr algorithm that they are more likely to be real accounts because people are talking to them. This gives them credit to go and be more annoying on MORE posts. Other Example: this comment was on a post that had to do with the murder to Alex Pretti. There was no mention of immigration - this is just a stock reply.

I've seen this type of comment across ALL posts. This is not a person willing to engage in debate. This is likely a bot or an account made to spam the same paraphrased reply on as many political posts as possible.

Don't waste your time. Just block, delete, report for spam if you are able to and MOVE ON.

so there's a natural order to this world and we need atleast four million mans in boots with armor, vehicles, and firearms to enforce it, otherwise something unnatural might happen
