I’m not intimidated by AI. I’m repulsed by it. I’m not jealous of AI art. I know it’s predictive rather than creative, and built on stolen content. I’m not scared of new technology. What I'm scared of is a world without trees, bees, fresh air, and clean water.
“Use AI or get left behind!”
Left behind by who exactly? People who can’t write a simple email without outsourcing their thoughts to a chatbot? I think I’ll be just fine.
Mr. Altman: What “bad things” should we accept to advance AI?
Losing tens of millions of jobs?
A mass surveillance state?
A mental health crisis for our kids?
A global financial crisis?
Mass extinction?
Let’s not wait to find out. Pause advanced AI NOW!
Ai bros are legitimately some of the most pathetic individuals I’ve ever met. They literally need a sycophant bot to only agree with them and tell them how special they are.
Pope Leo is right.
Art is not some kind of superfluous luxury that can be eliminated from our lives. It is a crucial part of the human experience.
We cannot let Big Tech oligarchs destroy it.
@XxMictlanxX@Farfadox Por que más de el 90% la usa mal. La usar para remplazar sin tener conocimientos de nada creando basura que después utilizan para sentirse algo que no son e insultar artistas, programadores, o gente que realmente sabe del tema.
El papa León XIV anunció que la Iglesia buscará renovar la histórica alianza con los artistas para 'salvaguardar nuestra humanidad':
💬 «En esta era de la IA, se vuelve urgente distinguir el arte humano de lo que producen las máquinas».
DLsite is being praised for prioritizing freedom from censorship over the ability to accept payments via Visa or Mastercard. This clearly demonstrates just how highly creators and users value "freedom of expression" when it comes to companies dealing in content. While the specific circumstances of individual companies may differ, preventing censorship is a critical issue that all content-related businesses must treat as a top priority.
The Japanese government needs to heed these voices and take effective action—such as establishing laws to prevent interventions driven by the overwhelming power of financial institutions.
En redes volvieron a aplaudir a DLsite por haber mandado a volar a las tarjetas de crédito internacionales antes que nadie, negándose a doblar las manos ante la censura que intentaban imponerle al contenido independiente y para adultos.
Tras las presiones de gigantes como Visa y Mastercard para restringir obras en 2024, la plataforma japonesa prefirió cortar por lo sano y refugiarse casi de lleno en la red local JCB, sacando incluso su propia tarjeta y apostando por métodos de pago domésticos para no dejar desamparados a sus ilustradores.
Muchos mencionaron que una simple procesadora de pagos no tiene por qué andarle dictando su contenido a los creativos, consolidando a la tienda como uno de los pocos bastiones que prefirieron cuidar a sus autores antes que arrodillarse ante las presiones financieras de Occidente.
They are okay with Pornhub, OnlyFans, Fansly, and Western spicy games. Same cards and same executives.
Then they attack targets: Steam, itch, DLsite, FANZA, Fantia, Melonbooks, and Pixiv FANBOX.
None of that was illegal. They said it was to protect children. What they actually target-attacked was legal adult art, games, and Japanese doujin.
This was never about child protection. It was about who is allowed to get paid.
Never forget.
