quinn the stampede

hey i’m quinn. i’m a bird that likes to play and draw cosplayer & designer from ATL, GA all my links r at bit.ly/kidcorvid

seeing an uptick in ppl being like “i wanna make a blog but fuck” and so i feel like it’s a good time to plug my cool website building tool for ppl who don’t care to learn a whole lot about building a website even has a blog template. just get right to it iznaut.itch.io/bimbo

not to be confused by the girls who are the backbone of IT even though those can overlap

girls that look like this are the backbone of hobby society

FYI @cathachupikachu.bsky.social’s bluesky is hacked, don’t send any crypto in response to DMs from their account

I wish more people understood that using AI and being generally in favor of a technology does not equate to supporting any and all usage/implementation of that technology. We all already understand this about computers, the internet, software, cameras, GPS, pharma, etc.

Every mundane thing around you is a wonder inconceivable.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

the Internet Archive thing is an example of the fascinating trend recently where people consuming products they’re not paying for seem to believe they also have the right to dictate how much human labor is spent producing them.

If you self-host and run PHP on it (which is very likely) you NEED to update it later today, ASAP. A major vulnerability that affects PHP versions since 5 has been found, which allows remote code execution (very bad). You MUST retweet and share with friends who self-host. THIS IS CRITICAL. ⚠️

crazy. they hacked Websites

I've seen people say not to use the free Adobe alternatives springing up because they're "vibe coded." I promise you engineers at Adobe are using AI too! Embrace the fact that this shift in power dynamics means you can reduce your reliance on highly extractive companies!

If you're anti-AI, do you think it's a good thing that monopolists are capturing AI technology l, restricting it via regulation, and banning open source and free models? In a choice between proliferation or servitude, I choose proliferation.

Cartoon wolves used to be horny for human women. But now human women are horny for cartoon wolves. The reason? Woke.

if you have 100,000 followers on bluesky, you need to understand that quote dunking a small account that didn’t do anything to you (especially when it’s a trans person) is effectively like controlling the eye of sauron and causing your horde of minions to chase after whatever you point it at

I see people putting AI in the same bucket as NFTs (speculative technology that will go away when the bubble pops), but I think the internet is the better comp. Sure there's some early bubble-y activity, but the underlying technology is real it's going to dramatically change things.

Increasingly concerned re: people offloading vital cognitive processes by using GIF replies. Expressing snark with words is a core part of being human, don't let some GIF picker widget a startup preloaded with clips of mid range TV shows take that from you!

realizing i never posted it here….but too long have we been limited by the 2-dimensional political alignment chart. i think by using my new tool we can truly map another person's politics. here it is: The Ideology Cube

The Chad “AI is morally bad because it works” vs the Virgin “increasingly desperate and sweaty special pleading for why it doesn’t *actually* work”

ice cold take: i feel like a lot of p(doom) scare is thinly veiled p(capitalism is unsustainable) not saying the risks aren't real; just that a lot of the time you look under the mask and it's "we could be forced to cut profit margins 😱 invest in infrastructure 😱 redistribute wealth 😱"

how tf did they make this without parametric CAD

a lot of our culture is misanthropic in the wrong direction; where instead of being vexed and disappointed by the unrealized potential of humanity, people believe that the potential isn't there. in a paradoxical sense this turns out to be a lesser condemnation: it lets humans off the hook

i am very sick and tired of people bringing up "consent" as a reason for why transformative works should be disallowed. yes even when the transformative works involve lots of complicated machine statistics. firstly; consent is for sex and risky activities, not "am i allowed to use bits of your work"

The ag lobby really, really, really, really, really, really, really wants you to think AI is the reason reservoirs are going empty. It's not. It's agriculture.

NOW has been compiling the most irritating songs for decades, but now you can use the logo style to "call" anything! The NOW THAT"S WHAT I CALL MUSIC! Font & Logo Generator is live now!

yeah i'm a gamer

Okay using my monthly allowance of one quote dunk on this. This is vibes-based jurisprudence that puts the Candyland fantasy of what position OP feels authors oughta hold in society over the reality that the law is a blunt instrument, and IP is used mostly to bludgeon artists into poverty.

"but to me [AI] does seem totally at odds with a capitalist society where IP is protected" Waow! (based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based based)

this is a great argument that maybe we have the risks backwards

I think this stuff is really scary and much scarier than the fake arguments. We will not solve it on the individual morality level. Only online jackasses can believe that cancer patients should be bullied for caring more about staying alive than their privacy purity.

this is why the stochastic parrot and imminent implosion critiques are so poorly suited to the moment: the natural conclusion from both is that we don't need to theorize this surveillance dystopia or resist it

this aged extremely well everyone who was trying to convince you this stuff doesn’t work was: - acting against your long term interests - no longer credible don’t keep following people whose predictions don’t cash

if you're opposed to the dominance and acceleration of AI usage you need to become way less fucking stupid about your criticisms of it
