@whitekitten_69 @YeenieBeans @bluecolty @chartay990 That's the problem. Humans cannot digest and retain billions of copyright images in the same way an AI algorithm can. Millions of artists have not consented to their work being used as training data, without attribution or regard to copyright protections. It's literally IP theft.

[Trick Question (A. Wolf / Trixie / Trickster) @tricksterwolf]

@whitekitten_69 @YeenieBeans @bluecolty @chartay990 The training data is stolen from artists' works without permission, and chunks of that art appears, recognizable, in images made by the AI. You can sometimes recover the original images exactly by query (researchers have), with no artist attribution or copyright permission.

I'm going to be unavailable on Twitter for a while (haven't even checked notifications) as I try to gather everything important that I can before the shitshow explodes.

77% of Americans think misinformation increases hate crimes and 73% think it increases extreme political views, according to a poll conducted by Pearson Institute/AP-NORC in September. Half of Americans think misinformation decreases “trust in government.”

@FalconryFinance @rotisserie_cass @Oz_in_OK @alexanderchee @elguante "how dare you not blindly trust that I'm helping the left with top secret unnamed political activities as I try to convince leftists not to vote on Twitter"

what a convincing argument

how stupid do you think leftists are to fall for an obvious Nazi in a clown suit like you

Great and powerful Trixie and her assistant :)

@FalconryFinance @rotisserie_cass @Oz_in_OK @alexanderchee @elguante I identify with your cynicism yet still have an annoying little question:

what the fuck are you doing to help anything, other than discouraging people from voting in order to further solidify power in the right wing

just curious whether you realize how obvious this shtick is 🤷‍♀️

[Trick Question (A. Wolf / Trixie / Trickster) @tricksterwolf]

Elon Musk "accidentally" fired workers needed to operate Twitter at a basic level and to implement his barely-developed vision for the company

now he needs some of those he fired w/o notice in the most humiliating way to come back

good luck with that 🙃

@BlockbusterPlus why does everypony call me a liberal like it's an insult

[Trick Question (A. Wolf / Trixie / Trickster) @tricksterwolf]

@BlockbusterPlus was Kevin Spacey in a Christmas movie or is that just a porno

[Trick Question (A. Wolf / Trixie / Trickster) @tricksterwolf]

@BlockbusterPlus The best heroes always self-mutilate. I think that was the justification Ben Shapiro used for cutting off his penis

@dec23k Okay! Sorry, I thought I might have miscommunicated. (On second blush it looks like I was calling the person I quoted the contrarian rather than the one in the chat.)

[Trick Question (A. Wolf / Trixie / Trickster) @tricksterwolf]

Just to be clear, alt-right instances of Mastodon exist and are not being blocked or "silenced" in the way the contrarian below is trying to imply.

They're just not federated or supported by those in charge, so they can't infect the whole community. Because fuck those guys.

[Trick Question (A. Wolf / Trixie / Trickster) @tricksterwolf]

@stoflastresorts @LouPas @elonmusk @Twitter @TwitterMktg He agrees with you. He's highlighting Elon's hypocrisy with respect to openness, not suggesting you shouldn't be allowed to block.

[Lou Paskalis 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇮🇱 @LouPas]

@elonmusk So for all the replies I received that content moderation = denial of freedom of speech (it doesn’t),what do you say about the fact that the “chief twit” just blocked me for exercising mine? Yesterday, @elonmusk solicited ?s from marketers, today he’s blocking those who ask them.

[Lou Paskalis 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇮🇱 @LouPas]

@elonmusk Elon, Great chat yesterday, As you heard overwhelmingly from senior advertisers on the call, the issue concerning us all is content moderation and its impact on BRAND SAFETY/SUITABILITY. You say you’re committed to moderation, but you just laid off 75% of the moderation team!

"It says I'm an active voter,” she said, “but if I go vote, DeSantis will have me arrested.”

Florida and Kentucky still unconstitutionally bar former convicts from voting, primarily in order to disenfranchise Black Americans who often vote for Democrats.
