Like, did this indie author boasting of improbable numbers of publications spend hundreds of thousands on a CGI animation of dragons attacking a castle for their book promo? Or are they a thief participating in the destruction of our environment? I know which seems more likely to me.

Update: Meta backed down on training their gen ai on any website shared on their platforms. Public backlash for the win!

I've suggested before that small businesses make yourselves accessible by having a website you OWN and CONTROL & EVERYONE can access, not just FB page or Insta. Today I suggest deleting your FB & Insta accounts, if you have a website or other online content they can & will train their gen ai on.

Gonna be fiddling with icons again. If you see my profile picture change, it's a stock photo, not my real face, which I just want to screenshot as it would look on BS.

“America's two largest private prison companies, CoreCivic and GEO Group, are reporting a combined $1.4 billion in quarterly revenue over the spring as immigration detention closes in on record levels.” Trump’s brokers have made 29 trades of private prison stocks since he returned to office.

NPR@npr.org

That revenue does not include net proceeds of $1.6 billion made by CoreCivic after the recent sale of four of their facilities to the Department of Homeland Security. n.pr/4qabWjC

I laid out very clearly to a doctor that I'd been diagnosed with "chronic fatigue-like symptoms" from age 6, that I was working an objectively chill 3 day a week office job and was too exhausted to do *anything else* and rapidly deteriorating and she said "everyone's tired".

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

Amnesty's capitulation is unacceptable, because a human rights NGO is not simply a discount think tank (viz. a double discounted research university). It's part of its job description to specifically leverage its resources to stand its ground against actual and threatened SLAPPs from bad actors!

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

We still have a family parrot (he’s about 25 years old now) who loudly exclaims “need to go potty!” because he would prefer to be carried to a trash bin to do his business. He’s perfectly capable of flying. Sometimes he just wants to go on a little walk.

On Mastodon everyone is talking about how Doctorow has written a confused rant in which he defends AI. On here, everything is all praise for him critiquing AI, with no mention that he actually uses it anyway. Everything is so exhausting.

#WIPSnips 26 July: lobby The closest thing I had to this was 'foyer'. I tried, 'campaign' and 'petition' first, thinking there would be something on the political interpretation, but no 😅 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I actually find this hilarious. Got my first person accusing me of making 'AI' slop - for no obvious reason I can see. I don't usually encourage dogpiles, but this deserves a name and shame.

OK, I checked its account and all it does, all day long, is harass random folks. I don't usually respond to such shit, but I was honestly just amused. Blocked and reported now.
