Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

Define ‘better’. I’m not sure that word means what you think it means.

That’s shitty, but thankfully, we have the emulation community.

Fandomwire wants clicks, clearly.

HA, funny that this comes up. DND Beyond doesn’t have a d100, so I opened my ChatGPT sub and had it roll a d100 for me a few times so I could use my magic beans properly.

Good.

Agreed.

It pleases me when the law actually protects a smaller company that had its tech stolen by a corporate giant.

Finally an accurate headline.

Americans are confused, frustrated by new tipping culture, study finds (www.washingtonpost.com)

It’s gotten rather absurd. If my interaction is with a kiosk short of being handed something, it’s an insulting extra step. I’m already paying the price for my employer’s pay scale … I can’t take on someone else’s stinginess....

I don’t think anyone’s confused or frustrated by it.

If you’re not getting any extra service for something you’re buying, you just hit the zero button.

This is a good reminder that the freedom of expression has morphed into freedom of stupidity.

These awful people actually expect to be taken seriously for their moronic bullshit world views.

I think it’s inevitable.

The bad actors stealing data to train their apps don’t seem to have an adequate understanding of the implications of their actions. They’re just looking to make a quick buck and run.

Bring on the lawsuits.

Yeah, but siding with Israel here is the logical equivalent of siding with Andrew Jackson and supporting the Indian Removal Act as he committed genocide against the native people.

The power imbalance and how Israel has used it is what makes it imperative that Israel be held accountable by the international community.

Same.

I’ve paid $10 for spotify every month for years and it’s always been a great service and the algorithm does a good job of finding me new music that I like.

But most of this stuff can be pirated or bought piecemeal without bothering with a subscription.

And that’s what we’ll do when it gets out of hand, as we all know it will.

We add a cool $5 billion to the Republicard every year on Israel’s behalf.

But the thing is… war is good business. I’d be surprised if there weren’t a legislator in Washington that hasn’t already made a stock move based on their classified briefings on this event.

In what fucking world does that level of harassment justify possibly taking a life?

America, that’s where.

Here it seems normal to many to end an argument with a bullet, but I’m with you. It’s absurd. The shooter should have removed themselves from the situation and reported it.

THIS is how you handle terrorist groups, not like here in America, where people let them hide behind the First Amendment and make excuses for their ideologies and behavior.

Good.

One of my good friends was one of the voices on LA Noire years ago and gets zero residuals from it. It’s maddening.

I hate that now, every time I hear the word ‘Sanders’, it’s the bitch who brought back child labor and not Bernie.

It’s pretty apparent that AI developers are training their applications using stolen images and data.

This was always going to end up in the courts.

My family fostered 40-50 kids over a ten year period, and I’ve seen what starvation can do to a kid. Most people can’t imagine that trauma, and the fact that his has become a state-level issue should be reason to vote out every single politician in Washington, if you ask me.

Called it. Elon's doing exactly what I thought he would do: https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/109979152813584947

Twitter is dead.

There is no point in trying to hold on to what Twitter used to be. What Twitter used to be no longer exists.

It died the moment Elon walked in the building.

Anything posted there since then has been free content on his everything app and potential crypto scam, X: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/23/twitter-elon-musk-says-he-wants-to-change-companys-bird-logo

Yup.

This is why I jumped ship to Mastodon in October 2022 when he pulled that moronic stunt with the sink. Elon no longer cares about being seen as a visionary. He’s an out-and-proud chad.

I’ve had Spotify Premium for four years at $9.99.

And it’s going up $1.00.

For the enjoyment I get out of it and all the new music I’ve found, that really doesn’t feel like a huge increase, TBH. If they were jumping $5-$10 I might be angry, but one dollar? GTFO.

I expect things to get more expensive over time, just reasonably so.
