Trixie Thats Fucking Mean

like, okay, consent does literally just mean agree. which is what enables this little rhetorical trick. because there's all this cultural emphasis on sexual consent, which is just expressed as consent, a lot of phrases whose intended meanings are "rape is bad" can be taken literally to mean "i should get to agree to everything that happens in my vicinity."

love this!!

This came up on Cohost

My Little Pony book with a death spell inside. Yes, it most definitely came home with me

I guess I’m not done having emotions about AI art yet

Ethical AI usage has plenty of room for the “wow!” and “this is so fun!” factor, among other personal uses. I just think that right now, the dataset acquisition is reprehensible, the enrichment of the company owners at the expense of artists is the absolute worst of capitalist amorality, and AI art is not capable of providing a net positive to culture until these issues are resolved.

There is not really any ethical use of AI to generate art if you aren’t using your own datasets and running it on your computer.

With big companies like Midjourney, you will be using datasets acquired without consent. You will also be providing more data and money to help the business do better theft.

I totally get why it’s fun. It feels like visualizing dreams. Referencing things that are familiar in this surreal ways. I love that some folks seem to be having this cool community experience with it, sharing things and learning. It must feel enriching.

I wish that the system that your joy enriches were not *so terrible*. They do not deserve you.

My ire is always aimed at the system, the moneybags, not the people who are navigating the same moral complexities I am and often reaching different but equally valid conclusions.

That said, I am asking friends of mine who do it for fun to consider if this is the fun you have to do? There are *so many* fun artistic pursuits. Right now this one is on the forefront of everyone’s minds because it’s novel, but…we don’t have to do it.

We don’t have to help the people hurting artists because we are having fun with it.

Day 6: Spirit

My friend really likes your music and we listen to it when we kiss and have cuddly gay sex. I'd be curious to know what music you listen to when sexhaving, if any.

this is genuinely a weird fucking thing to say to anyone, let alone a stranger. fix how you interact with people online and in real life, because shit like this contributes to making spaces unsafe.

i'm ace btw. xoxo
