In 1945, six women pulled off a computing miracle.
They programmed the world’s first computer—with no manuals, no training.

a lot of people obviously haven't seen Spirited Away, in which a monster driven by greed consumes people and steals their voices, doing perfect imitations of those it's devoured, and it's hard to think of a better metaphor for generative AI.
re: ai, you people don’t love making things you love having things and capitalism has convinced you that ownership is self actualization and it’s not and that’s why you’re empty inside
u tell people not to use ai n they start talking about how it can help cure cancer.. brudda we see you using it for cartoon selfies and writing emails dpmooo😭😭
somewhat tangential but I feel like the AI slop Ghibli trend can't be separated from the internet's de-politicization of the studio's films. all of them reduced to "cottage core" & "cozy aesthetics" while erasing the relevant themes of anti-war & alienation under capitalism
listen to me. i do not want the help of AI in anything i do. my mind is beautiful and clear. a glistening lake. if i receive another notification on my computer from a service or software asking if i want AI assistance im going to end up on the news. DO NOT POISON MY LAKE
I am SICK of Disney using young women as scapegoats for the company’s failures and allowing the trades and grown men to attack them to the point that their careers are damaged beyond repair.
