Talking like a faerie to communicate what other websites I’m on: If you think I am in other places you are correct and you would call me by the name you already know me, though you mustn’t speak it aloud nor warn me of your arrival

[Erin (Astoreth) @agloriousviolet]

@TheBratCat1 @catbatstudios this this this! I already get MAD ANXIETY about wasting the artist's time, so the fear that I might ask and then have to be like "oh never mind" after they took the time to answer is enough to deter me from even asking.

"but what if i don't have the money to pay an artist? what then?" i don't have the money to own a cool jeep so i don't own a cool jeep. where is the disconnect here

[Clerzi ✨ @Clerzi]

Generally:

Artists don’t dislike AI art because it’s “not real art” etc.

Artists dislike AI art because the programs are “trained” unethically using databases of art belonging to artists who have not given their consent.

This is not about gatekeeping. This is about theft.

I would just add that the trolley will come for you next.

This is completely insane. Andy Ngo is a neo-Nazi type. Musk is now directly, personally taking requests from him to ban his enemies. This is the exact kind of political targeting that Republicans spent years (falsely) complaining that Twitter was doing to conservatives.

@Magsthe3rd I would be interested! ♥ Your readings are always compelling!

apologies to anyone who ever thought i was cool and reached out to me only to discover i am just a weird little hermit who can't carry on a conversation to save my life

[megan 🐇🌸 @sunlit_sky]

i love both tumblr and twitter but they are fundamentally different and neither can replace the other. you can't go to tumblr for up-to-the-minute breaking news, and you can't go to twitter for a whole user base collectively inventing a 1973 scorsese mafia movie from whole cloth

Now this is a banger

If Musk can believe in himself after decades of evidence that he shouldn’t, you should too.

Go do that thing you’re wildly under qualified for.

[Chuck Tingle @ChuckTingle]

kind of heckin wild to think if you put a rock in a chair and said 'ok now manage this company' it would have done a much better job running twitter and would have saved billions of dollars
