it would be so awesome
it would be so cool
ig since this is getting some amount of attention i'll also use this post to educate about the problem to the best of my ability (if anyone wants to chip in about it be my guest im certainly not the most qualified). and yes i get yall are upset about the porn bots but this isn't about bots this is about our sisters being harassed and threatened and having their accounts wrongly terminated. 2 years ago The CEO of Tumblr continuously terminated a trans woman and her alts and then continued to harass her on Twitter, threatening to call the cops if she continued to dispute the wrongful terminations of her blogs. Threatened to call A Person With A Gun to her home over an "explode him with hammers" type post. Trans women have been a continuous target for unjust termination by Tumblr's moderation staff regardless of their blog's content for years, and have failed to step in against users who harass trans women for a long ass time.
funnily enough kym has like the most complete and comprehensible coverage of the ceo's little stunt that i've found so far. link to their article
An animated like button is not enough to excuse the mountains of bullshit they put trans women through on this site.
also black tumblr users are targeted disproportionately! esp black trans women!
you have to preface things like this with disclaimers that you are not pro-ai for people incapable of critical thinking but: its so awesome how much people post about AI having no soul and lacking humanity and merely mimicking some sort of innate Humanness while failing to address or contend with the fact that a lot of people are seemingly making work indistinguishable from the statistical average spit up by a computer.
ppl could ABSOLUTELY churn out bland slop that's trying very hard to scan as though it's legit way before AI showed up, and i stopped trying to tell if things were AI generated and started just...thinking more about whatever i was looking at. exploring citations rather than just looking at them, thinking about what's being said and if disparate thoughts connect to each other, trying to engage with the substance of the work. if there was little to no substance, then i could move on, and i'm sure a significant chunk of that was AI, but more importantly, it wasn't worth my time.
i genuinely and unironically hope that this is an unintended but positive outcome in a post-AI world. that people abandon attempts to determine if something is AI or not and are instead forced to think "what is there to like about this and why do i like it?"
That's ignoring the actual problem with AI. It isn't that it's worse than the suboptimal human corporate slop, it's that
1. It's producing slop at such a high rate that the internet is being cannibalised from the inside out, like an advertiser's wet dream,
2. It's destroying our environment. The amount of resources needed to produce AI servers that are used for nothing except making horses covered in lightning is unreal.
It's not the only industry with these issues but the AI craze has led every single tech partner into a suicide death spiral in their latest attempt to make Every Money In The World, and water and ground and air is all being destroyed for it.
The government leaders have been sucked in and think they can make a pretty penny so there is no regulation whatsoever and they are pushing planning bodies to approve AI data centres regardless of the cost to environmental policy.
Get rid of AI, I'm sure they will come up with some other mechanism to eat their tails and ruin everything, but at least perhaps it will be a little less hardware intensive, and a little less easy.
ai could be producing perfect beautiful art and it’d still be a problem bc it’s not regulated at all and therefore is a fucking mess of ethical nightmares! the problem is not that it’s Bad Quality it’s that it’s got material issues that aren’t being solved (for example, how easy it is to generate inappropriate images of actual children, or as mentioned environmental concerns, which aren’t unique to ai but are notable due to its rapid growth and current lack of any practical applications!)
don't focus too hard on figuring out what your "true" self is. what you "are" doesn't have to be something so clearly defined and stagnant. what's important is what you want to be. do you want to be a kind person? don't agonize over whether or not you are a kind person—simply show kindness to others through your words and actions. it does not matter if you're not feeling empathetic or bubbly or whatever else you may think that a kind person is "supposed to be" inside as long as you are deliberately making the choice to be kind. your true self is whatever you determine it to be, not something that is set in stone
some may believe that they are not kind people because they do not feel kind on the inside even if their external actions ARE kind. congratulations! you have decided on kindness. that is your truth. continue to craft it with your own hands
game dev: we make deep, meaningful, games with real messages. we don’t want our games to be just mindless and feel good - we make games to say something about the world we live in
community: hey this bit seems to be kind of weirdly racist
game dev: actually we aren’t saying anything and our games are just for fun and there is absolutely no correlation between this and anything in the real world
'Only one bed' trope is fine. 'There are two beds but one of the characters has such bad trauma/nightmares that they can't sleep alone so they get into bed with the other character and sleep well for the first time in years and then proceed to refuse to talk about it in the morning' trope forever and ever though
Please stop being nonbinary too. God only created one gender. You must conform to that.
THERES ONLY ONE NOW?????
All the genders were gone when I checked today. Good thing I stocked up.

"does it have to be queer"
yes, next question, unless the next question is "why", in which case I am pulling the lever
Could it be more queer?

This is paramisia.
The US government is run by child predators. There is no guarantee they are pedophiles, and even if some of them are, their pedophilia isn't what makes them into child predators - a craving for power over the vulnerable is what does that.
shame is sharp, and my skin gives so easy

You ever think about many peices of media have zero women and thats just perfectly normal but if a peice of media has an all female cast people get... like that? Women should be allowed to kill over this btw
same but it's black people
That's right
time to make a post on tumblr. surely no one will interpret it to be as offensive and bad intentioned as possible.
