“AI can never be AI without humans. It is not artificial intelligence. It’s African intelligence...We are training our own death. We train ChatGPT and it’s killing us slowly.”
Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. Now, they're fighting back.
Three panel comic. Panel 1: a green heron points to the ski excitedly while a space shuttle flies away. The heron says, “the humans are all leaving! Panel 2: the heron continues, “we can finally enjoy the unaltered beauty of the earth!” Panel 3: the heron stands smiling. Behind it a group of beavers wearing hard hats and safety gear are building a giant log structure. Two of them are looking at a blueprint, another in the back is using a chainsaw.
a sketch design for a smartphone Has: De-googled OS, 60hrzm 64gb storage, 5 inch display, 1080p, OLED screen, plastic body, bluetooth, widgets, rubber corners, two programmable buttons, single hinge camera that flips up for selfies, removable battery, headphone jack, USBC charging, loop in corner for charms, SD memory slot, and clear plastic back so you can put in your own design or something idk Does not have: AI, face recognition, turn-on on lift, mandatory updates
followup to dream phone design, took some ideas from people I liked. It's not designed for everyone but it's designed for me specifically and I'm mad it doesn't (and will likely never) exist
So if using AI actually does erode human cognition the way studies suggest, then it's a feature instead of a bug?
The world is gross enough without "take away people's ability to think so we can sell it back to them" being on the list.
Look, we have to arrest this guy.
a sketch of a smartphone with tactile buttons for home/window/back, headphone jack, no AI BS, sim card thingy you can open with your nail, camera that doesn't cover the damn screen, and a 5 inch/127mm screen which is a reasonable size
I wouldn't say I'm massively into phones or anything but I sketched this out of frustration bc why are there no modern phones with these features, it would be so perfect and I'm mad the only ones are old and slow

a pencil drawing of Odil looking skeptical at a letter addressed to her sealed with a heart sticker. Title reads: "A Love Letter to Odile"
2 comic pages in pencil Page 1: Panel 1: a pencil sketch of Siffrin looking at Odile while she peruses the shelves of a store Text reads: I was already intrigued by Odile from the first encounter. She's smart, has a dry, sarcastic wit, and has an aloof, nonchallance to her. Panel 2: a pencil sketch of Odile's low hp battle portrait, grinning with determination despite taking a lot of damage text reads: But then you go into battle and Odile gets to low HP and BAM! She looks like this Panel 3: my birdsona blushing while looking surprised while holding the game controller Panel 4: my birdsona closing her eyes and letting out a huff of a sigh while blushing. Text points to her claws clutching the controller and read "horny controller grip" Panel 5: My birdsona pops up all sweaty with placating claws Birdsona: but LISTEN. If it was just "lady hot" I wouldn't be making this zine Page 2 Text at the top reads: As I got to know her more, she's even more endearing Panel 1: Odile reaches hesitantly to a brooding Siffrin text: Like yes, she's smart when it comes to Craft and being perceptive about others. But even if she knows something is wrong she doesn't know how to help Panel 2: Odile smiles while shushing Bonnie as they grin while hiding a potato somewhere with Odile text: She's this serious, cynical, and sarcastic older woman...But she also has a playful and mischievous side to her she'll sometimes let others in on Panel 3: text: She acts aloof and doesn't express her emotions very openly...but she cares so deeply... drawing of Odile looking deep in thought while saying: "But I would do anything to protect all of you. Horrible things, to be honest, as long as I could be sure you were all safe" text pointing to speech bubble reads: I think about this line A LOT it drives me crazy
2 comic pages in pencil Page 1 Panel 1: Isabeau offering his hand to a nervous Odile Isabeau: Look at the ground and take my hand m'dame! I won't let you fall Odile: Th-thank you... text reads: and her friends care deeply for her too! She's terrified of heights and gets vertigo and they make sure to help her panel 2: Odile sits and reads her book while Bonnie sits against her with their back to her. They are enjoying each other's company. text: But even with how she cares it's never in a "motherly" way. Which to me personally is very refreshing Panel 3: my birdsona peeks in the corner Birdsona: I feel too often older female characters get this "mom" or similar label slapped onto them. And Odile rejects this outright. Panel 4: silhouette of Odile from behind text: And later it makes sense why she's uncomfortable with that label Page 2 Panel 1: Odile wandering off in the grassy field with clouds above her text: Her father died a few years back. Her mother was never in the picture. Odile's been on this years' long journey to learn more about her roots in hopes of learning more about herself Panel 2: Someone in the foreground holding a book looks at Odile with concern as Odile looks surprised at touching her face to find tears there text: She's been carrying around this loneliness and grief and has this air of wistfulness and melacholy* to her * she has like 6 "melancholy" sprites in-game in fact
2 comic pages in pencil Page 1 panel 1: Odile and Mirabelle sit together holding books, Odile looks intrigued at something Mirabelle is saying text: And even though Odile has a difficult relationship with the word family... Panel 2: Odile shows Bonnie how to make onigiri text: that's exactly what she found Panel 3: Isabeau laughing loudly next to Odile while they're out drinking, Odile looks over at him, smiling text: And in trying to find herself in her original family... Page 2 Panel 1: Odile pets Siffin's head, they both have gentle expressions on their faces text: ...she found herself with a new family panel 2: my birdsona looking all teary-eyed birdsona: ...and I get emotional thinking about it all UGH! I love this old lady...

Screenshot of a tweet with a picture of Leo’s Radic before she was executed by hanging. The executioner is tying the noose around her neck and she is looking down. On #WomensDay celebrate antifascist fighters like Lepa Radic. Born 1925 in Bosanska Gradiska, Bosnia, she was executed by Nazis at age 17. Nazis offered her a deal-life spared if she'd snitch on her comrades. She replied "My comrades will reveal themselves when they avenge me
I'm half crazy, all for the love of you... Digital Circus Episode 8 drops March 20th
nothing has made this clearer to me than the fact that everyone on the bsky development team all seem to fucking use Claude
which, if you're not aware, Claude is a whitewashed chatGPT that people use because they're aware of the rep chatGPT has, but still can't work without it
Wow @buzzfeed.com really thinking deleting kyra’s posts is gonna go well. I hope whoever they’ve got running their social media googles “Streisand effect”
Also fuck genAI and fuck replacing creators/VAs with AI slop
meanwhile every other trans woman i know who is one of the greatest minds of their generation is begging for meds and fundraising to eat three times a week and starve the rest
So ARC Raiders is actual spyware: timothymeadows.com/arc-raiders-...

linux heads were always right. time to sit my dumbass down and learn
I mean... Team Flare fits pretty well as a typical jrpg villain. Wants to destroy the world-- why? *shrug* evil
Gen 6's starters reminds me more of the classic JRPG classes: Frontline fighter, Mage and Ninja.
Good point, though. Never noticed that they all have jobs now.

Sorry but the twit gamedev trends are stupid - I’m not making my game for you!! I’m making it for me and my sanity and for the four people online I fw!!! (but you’re welcome to play it too)
Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.
