Literally “Pump it!”, it became the battle cry of a generation. After a station canopy collapsed in Novi Sad in November 2024, killing 16 people, students took to the streets demanding justice and an end to corruption.

EVERYONES FUCKING WORK WITHOUT ANY COMPSENTATION OR PERMISSION. This is like asking someone to be reasonable and civil about someone breaking into your house to steal your shit. Fuck that. We've gone by being civil with this shit from day fucking one.

we actually should have long since ended the debate around AI at the start fuck all that talk of 'reasonable and civil' dicussion about AI, that shit should have been shut down the moment it began, and all reasonable and civil dicussion ended the moment all these companies decided to steal

Service Announcement: Rosetta Stone, the language learning app/website also uses GenAlgo slob. At least their images are generated. Don't know about the rest. But don't give a company money that profits from theft.

I'm dying laughing at how the cat has conformed to her flower shaped bed today

Too bad 5.0 of Clip Studio Paint is STILL single core. What the... I mean... why. It just struggles with large brushes for me endlessly and that without taxing my hardware. Darn. I really had hoped they would finally move to more cores.

Also labour from the people mining rare Earth minerals, the people in the Global South who toil to clean the data and supervise models live as human-in-the-loop, the people building/ cleaning data centers... the labour theft is so extensive it's not realistic that this would have been feasible.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

The first and likely only time I ever played a vampire faction the AI managed to kill of the Carsteins, free Bretonia and get rid of Nagash.

@totalwar.bsky.social please put the original Shogun 2 on gog as well. I have no interest in ever buying the "complete" edition. Mod.io is a shitshow and should not be used, ever. Use Steam Workshop or Nexus. DoA for me for this reason alone. Keep it. Such anti-consumer choice, wtf.

If the GenAI industry and tech only "works" because it's based on massive exploitation of labour and intellectual property then you don't have an industry, you just made another form of slavery.

I kinda love and hate how competently "manly" I felt after fixing our dishwasher by de-clogging our pipes. I wasn't raised like this but society still put some expectations into me.

Bekomme inzwischen Werbung von "Designern", die zwar in ihrer Sprache gendern, dann aber Claude etc bewerben. Das passt für mich nicht ganz zusammen? Repräsentation von Minderheiten ok, aber Ausbeutung auch?

The part of "Hook" where the camera pans through the house, showing the ripped wallpaper on the wall going upstairs. It does nothing to me now.

I guess we’re inevitably reaching the level of Bavarian Überbanker Jacob Fugger telling Pope Leo X to reinterpret Jesus‘s teachings about usury to allow interest on risky loans. (In 1515, the Pope, desperate for cash, did, and modern banking was born.) AI still won’t be conscious though.

This model was the inspiration for my FEISAR re dedesign.

Managed to hunt down two photos of the kitbashed model built by Jim Bowers as reference for the original WipEout game, sometime around 1993 or 1994. You can see the logos on it are harvested from other kits- Toyota and Buick logos, USAF roundels, and more that I'm sure someone else could ID

That @nexusmods.com is unwilling to enforce any anti-AI stance makes me just never want to support them. They cannot even be pushed to mark mods made with AI. It's Artstation all over again. Just keep quiet, don't annoy the clankers. Don't make us loose modders and users. Don't enforce copyright.

So, they get their wish. I'll just shut up and block the fuck out of anyone using this shit. But I'll also never ever support the website because of this until the people responsible for this stance are gone.

I'm probably going to get muted or blocked for this, but as a fellow science communicator, using AI-generated imagery/text is really a bad look all around. It not only steals from your fellow scientists because it's all trained on stolen data, it also makes up fake science.

Und wieder eine Folge der @heuteshow.de mit GenAI/Algo Slob. Geich wieder ausgemacht. Toller Anspruch and journalistische Arbeit und Achtung des Grundgesetzes. Wer auch immer das puscht oder zulässt gehört aus dem Laden gejagt und verklagt. Urheberrecht existiert lieber ÖRR!

Wozu eine Beschwerde schicken, wozu wählen gehen, wenn selbst der ÖRR sich nicht an das Grundgesetz halten kann. So ein Scheiß zerstört einfach den Glauben an das System. Und ich hasse es so sehr, dafür noch bezahlen zu müssen, ohne irgendein Rechtsmittel zu haben, die Redaktion rauszuklagen.
