Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.

I feel like what's going on at this point is an inability to accept or understand that these "poisoning" programs were made for diffusion models from 2 years ago and don't work with modern editing AIs as either training data or input, so they're stuck repeating them as mantras.

EVERY IMAGE HOSTING SITE YOU COULD EVER FUCKING POST TO IS BEING SCRAPED FOR AI

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU DELETE ALL YOUR GALLERY ON TWITTER

IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SCUMFUCK YOUR ART FOR AI THEY WILL FOLLOW YOU TO BSKY TO DO IT TOO

YOU'RE NOT SAFE ON BSKY STOP DELETING YOUR SHIT

This is fear mongering.

1. It costs X nothing to host an image. Azure is .018$ for hot storage and .002$ for cold per GB. With compression you probably cost them a few pennies for all your tweets.

2. The images put into the AI are not being used them to retrain it on the fly.

3. Deleting you old work will do nothing. It will only harm you. And limit your reach. X never deletes data.

4. All social media has AI that is looking and scanning content. Was occurring even before the AI boom. Scanning images using AI is not new. Could have done it in Matlab as early as 2005. It was rudimentary but did work.

Generative AI is bad in most cases. However, if you believe other social media platforms don't have it or use it, you are mistaken. Even the blue butterfly app has it.

[MentisWave 🐍🚁 @MentisWave]

This has been possible for a long time by simply downloading the image and then using it as an attachment or even training AI locally.

Are normies actually so tech illiterate that they don't know you can do things until smartphone apps add an easy button?

[positivity moon @arrtnem]

People say they want privacy until they meet someone who actually has it.

Not the performative “private” where you still post soft launches, vague captions, story replies, little curated hints so everyone can keep tracking the plot. I mean real privacy. The kind where your life doesn’t come with commentary. Where your phone isn’t a public window. Where your wins, your losses, your relationships, your breakdowns don’t get uploaded as evidence.

people get weird.

You can see the moment their brain hits the wall. They ask a normal question, “so what have you been up to,” and you give them a normal answer that is also a closed door. “Work’s been busy.” “Just been chilling.” “Nothing crazy.” You smile. You move on. And something in them doesn’t relax. Because they weren’t asking for facts. They were asking for access.

A lot of people are not used to not having access.

We live in a time where everyone is constantly narrating themselves. Posting their meals, their heartbreak, their therapy language, their gym progress, their new person, their new home, their new era. Even if they say “I’m private,” they still leak. They drop breadcrumbs on purpose because being fully unseen feels like death to them.

So when you don’t leak, they start filling the silence with stories.

They assume you’re hiding something. They assume you’re lying. They assume you think you’re better than them. They assume you’re judging them. They assume you’re mysterious in a calculated way, like you’re playing chess while they’re making small talk.

Sometimes they even get offended, which is hilarious.

Like your privacy is an insult. Like you owe them transparency to prove you’re “real.” Like you owe the room a plotline so they can orient themselves. And if you don’t give it, they start poking. Testing. Fishing.

“So are you seeing anyone?”
“What happened with that job?”
“Why don’t you post more?”
“Where were you last weekend?”
“Who were you with?”

They try to catch you. Not because they care. Because they’re unsettled by not being able to map you.

This is the part no one says out loud: a lot of people use information as control.

Not evil control. Everyday control. Social control. The kind where if I know what you’re doing, I know where I stand. If I know your relationship status, I know how to treat you. If I know your problems, I know what role to play in your life. If I know your weaknesses, I know how to win an argument later. If I know your plans, I know if you’re leaving me behind.

So when you’re truly private, you remove a tool they rely on.

u become unpredictable in a way that scares them, because they can’t pre-empt you. They can’t manage you. They can’t keep a running tally of your life and compare it to theirs. They can’t decide if they should envy you, pity you, compete with you, flirt with you, ignore you. They have to relate to you in real time, on what you actually say and do, not on the story they’ve been consuming from your feed.

that is rare now. It’s also intimate in a way people don’t expect.

Because if you don’t broadcast, then the only way to know you is to know you.

To ask. To listen. To spend time. To earn the details. To be trusted.

Most people don’t have the patience for that. They want the summary. The highlights. The quick scroll that tells them what category you’re in.

So they get odd. They start guessing.

They’ll call you “mysterious” like it’s either a compliment or a warning. They’ll joke that you’re “secretive” when what they mean is “I can’t track you.” They’ll project motives onto you. They’ll decide you’re arrogant. Or traumatized. Or sneaky. Or having an amazing life and hiding it. Or having a miserable life and hiding it. They’ll pick a narrative and treat it like fact because uncertainty makes them itch.

And sometimes - this is the sharp one - they’ll try to provoke you into revealing yourself.

They’ll say something slightly disrespectful just to see if you react.

If you're an artist, I hate to tell you this, but bluesky isn't anti-AI. It may not have the same features on X that you're running away from, but it's going to be there soon, or worse, hiding in the background.

The people there are also more hostile to actual art that's beyond just simple cutesy/feel-good drawings that everyone can enjoy.

I don't like the situation here as much as any other artist, but that's the truth of it. You can switch to other platforms, but the AI cat is out of the bag, and there's no getting it back in. We just have to deal with it.
