I may "like" (but won't post or retweet) "non-controversial" NSFW art.
@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.
@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
@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 🤷♀️
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 🙃

@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.)
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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
