it’s about the fact that you’re destroying the planet, trying to put millions of people out of work, making the internet unusable, and turning all culture into slop. hope this helps!

I stand with the @WaoResistencia pple in their fight to protect the Amazon Rainforest from Big Oil+mining! I demand @CorteConstEcu convene an urgent hearing+ protect Indigenous Pples' right to decide over the future of the rainforest. RT so Ecuador's judges know the world is 👀

We just hit 39,000 signatures on the Statement on AI Training.

Creators around the world reject the notion, espoused by some AI companies, that training AI on their work without a license is somehow good for them. Rather, it is a major & unjust threat.

Very grateful to Hayley Atwell, Kit Harington, Charles Dance, and the many other new signatories.

Still open ➡️ https://t.co/VQ9eSYvvYD

mRNA vaccines are vaccines

mRNA vaccines are not gene therapy

Covid vaccines were tested

Covid vaccines work

MMR vaccine does not cause autism

There is no such thing as "turbo cancer"

Happy Monday!

This is Ann Telnaes, a longtime political cartoonist for the Washington Post. She resigned yesterday after owner Jeff Bezos blocked her cartoon criticizing Donald Trump and billionaires supporting him from being published.

RETWEET if you stand with @AnnTelnaes!

Best meme I saw today

@doteddrake I believe that cog is the same one that Jayce threw to him when they were floating at the Academy. Iirc it becomes discoloured when passing through an anomaly.

“if you couldn’t be bothered to write, i can’t be bothered to read it” is the best response to AI fanfiction btw. don’t engage. don’t even give them attention, let them starve.

If people tell you gen AI is a tool rather than a replacement for human creativity, show them this new data from Harvard Business Review:

- ChatGPT reduced writing jobs by 30% and coding jobs by 20%
- AI image generators reduced image creation jobs by 17%
- These numbers are not rebounding
- The effect is bigger and faster than with other forms of automation

It’s self-evident that generative AI competes with the work it’s trained on, and the people behind that work. But there is now a growing body of evidence to support this.

When Rowling announced that Dumbledore was gay Terry Pratchett joked:

"Rincewind would like to announce that he is gay. Since he never gets any, it really doesn't make much difference which any he doesn't get, and at least he might get a brief reputation for social awareness"

I need all my traumatized neurodivergents to stop holding their life progress to a standard set by neurotypicals whose needs have always been met

I agree with the meme. Do you?

[Ed Newton-Rex @ednewtonrex]

UK households paying the licence fee (24m households) are involuntarily funding AI companies, since the BBC’s content has been scraped from YouTube for AI training.

Why is the UK government planning to legalise this, instead of enforcing the law / strengthening protections?

(The BBC has ‘opted out’ of AI training, but opt-outs are ineffective, so there’s every sign their content is still being used.)

On Tuesday, May 12, 2023, as a private citizen, a Manhattan jury, consisting of 9 men and 3 women found disgraced President Elect, Donald Trump liable for rape and defamation.

MAGA Republicans don’t want us talking about this on Xhitter.
