The Brown brothers are power players of high-traffic AI-powered slop media. We were surprised to learn that one of them also has a history with Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted collaborator of deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

I am happy to share that I now have my profile on Pixelfed. It's an ethical, algorithm-free Instagram alternative, where from now on I'll try to re-upload some of my favourite shots, before I can come back to photography for good! #pixelfed #photography #socialmedia #ethics

AI companies destroying rare and out-of-print books to train LLM modelsโ€ฆ this some cartoon-style villainy. "Responsible physical sourcing is not book burning [...] It is the completion of a bookโ€™s lifecycle: from tree to knowledge to tree again." The cynicism is breathtaking. shorturl.at/os0vc

Dear musicians, Why the HELL are you not only subscribing to Spotify, but sharing links to your music there? Why are you helping this company grow, despite them throwing you under the bus every single chance they've had in the last decade? I legitimately can't wrap my head around this.

Today's search for my perfect feature phone lead me to this discovery. This is so deliberate and sickening that you may finally stop calling #techbros tone deaf. Thank you. #artificialintelligence #technology #AIbubble #AI #fuckAI #dumbphone #featurephone #digitaldetox #digitalminimalism

Our statement on the UK gov't's demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the UK be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification & content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/20...

I don't put my foot down a lot, but I will kill any audiobook deal for my work where they try to slap an AI narrator on it. Narrators are artists. The greats have filled my heart with light on countless nights. They will not be replaced with slop.

Common Dreams@commondreams.org

Big Tech has "built a billion-dollar industry on stolen voices because they thought no one would make them pay for it," said a lawyer for the journalists and audiobook narrators suing under Illinois' biometric privacy law.
