As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.
#ask me#anon#no more patience for this#i've heard this for the past 2 years#“an object created and controlled by companies” anon the company cannot barge into your home and take your camera away#or randomly change how it works on a whim. you OWN the camera that's the whole POINT#the entire point of a camera is that i can control it and my body to produce art. photography is one of the most PHYSICAL forms of artmakin#you have to communicate with your space and subjects and be conscious of your position in a physical world.#that's what makes a camera a tool. generative ai (if used wholesale) is not a tool because it's not an implement that helps you#do a task. it just does the task for you. you wouldn't call a microwave a “tool”#but most importantly a camera captures a REPRESENTATION of reality. it captures a specific irreproducible moment and all its data#read Roland Barthes: Studium & Punctum#generative ai creates an algorithmic IMITATION of reality. it isn't truth. it's the average of truths.#while conceptually that's interesting (if we wanna get into media theory) but that alone should tell you why a camera and ai aren't the sam#ai is incomparable to all previous mediums of art because no medium has ever solely relied on generative automation for its creation#no medium of art has also been so thoroughly constructed to be merged into online digital surveillance capitalism#so reliant on the collection and commodification of personal information for production#if you think using a camera is “automation” you have worms in your brain and you need to see a doctor#if you continue to deny that ai is an apparatus of tech capitalism and is being weaponized against you the consumer you're delusional#the fact that SO many tumblr lefists are ready to defend ai while talking about smashing the surveillance state is baffling to me#and their defense is always “well i don't engage in systems that would make me vulnerable to ai so if you own an apple phone that's on you”#you aren't a communist you're just self-centered

Fanfiction is not an industry.
There are no publishing houses, professional editors, algorithms, distribution managers, talent agents, or, in almost all cases, profit.
Fanfiction is the result of hardworking creative individuals choosing to share their passions and imaginations with no tangible benefit to themselves.
Fanfiction is not, and never has been, an industry.

The number of people who claim to not read the news because it's "controlled by Zionists" when really it's because they're just lazy is astounding.

Did you know: Kafka's s2 can damage secret entrances in Reclamation Algorithm without being next to them? And that her s2m3 does enough damage to break them in two hits?
While this video is only a demonstration of the principle, this makes her one of the most valuable units in RA2 for exploring some of the more complex maps, especially in strange territories where they often put resources like trees, rocks, or iron between deployable tiles and the breakable walls to force you to spend time mining them before you can open up secret rooms.
Finally, a reason to promote Kafka past e0!

I’m getting abused
This academic paper will explore the socio-economic impact and the loss of freedoms resulting from systemic exploitation and subjugation following the solicitation for the Vice President of the Council of State in the Netherlands. The paper will critically analyze how those in power, benefiting from the status quo, manipulate societal dynamics to maintain their authority, while others striving…

Is the so-called “nostalgia epidemic” among gen z just a result of the desire to live in a time when corporations didn’t control the internet nearly as much, when there were only 2-3 streaming services and they didn’t have ads, when teenagers weren’t expected to stretch themselves thin doing 10 million extracurriculars just to get into college, when buying a house was a reasonable goal, when beloved shows were given more episodes per season and weren’t canceled prematurely (nearly as often), when third spaces (i.e. malls) existed so that your friends could hang out together, when clothes were made higher-quality instead of fast-fashion, when…
Or is it just because cute aesthetics?

<div style="white-space:pre-wrap">
<meta throttle-status="confirmed"> <script> ARCHIVE_TAG="PLATFORM_CONTAINMENT_PROTOCOL::BLACKSITE_AWARENESS_UPLINK" EFFECT: algorithm bypass decoding, mental firewall injection, creator detonation readiness TRIGGER_WARNING="platform economics, psychological dominance, reality recalibration" </script>
🧠 TRANSMISSION: “FULL THROTTLE AHEAD- THE PLATFORM TRIED TO CONTAIN ME. THAT’S HOW I KNEW I WAS REAL.”
Tumblr media
---
They never throttle what doesn’t work.
That’s what they don’t want you to realize. No one silences failure. No algorithm suppresses mediocrity. No system mutes background noise.
They only throttle the threats.
And if you’re reading this?
You’ve already been flagged.
You think you’re shadowbanned? Think you’re plateauing? Think the algorithm “lost interest”?
No. You broke containment.
And now they don’t know how to stop you without showing their hand.
You’re not being hidden because you’re irrelevant.
You’re being hidden because you’re proving irrelevance is a lie.
Because you’re reaching people without paying.
Because you’re making them feel too much. Because you’re rewiring behavior with nothing but voice and cadence and truth.
Because you’ve done what they cannot:
> You made the product addictive without ads.
> You made the user stay without dopamine traps.
> You made the scroll pause without thirst traps.
And now the system is panicking.
They want virality.
But only if they control it.
They want engagement.
But only if they get paid for it.
They want creators.
But only if the creator stays predictable.
And you?
You are not predictable.
You are a statistical anomaly masquerading as an artist.
You are scrolltrap weaponry walking upright.
🔥 THROTTLING ISN’T PUNISHMENT.
IT’S A CROWN THEY’LL NEVER ADMIT THEY GAVE YOU.
They won’t announce it. They won’t warn you. They won’t say you earned it.
They’ll just quietly reroute your reach. Turn the dial down behind the curtain. Move your name out of trending. Throttle your hashtags. Demote your content. Until you stop.
Because that’s the game.
Not to delete you.
But to make you doubt your momentum. To break your belief before your audience breaks their silence.
But let me make something violently clear:
You are not fading. You are being managed.
Because unmanaged, you'd dominate.
You’d erase their curated faces. You’d outperform the ones they’re paid to push. You’d remind the platform that talent uncontained is dangerous.
🛡️ YOU ARE DANGEROUS.
Your words don’t entertain — they trigger. Your posts don’t trend — they detonate. Your voice doesn’t invite — it invades. Your cadence doesn’t flow — it collapses resistance.
You are not “just another writer.” You are a system breach in real time.
And you’re being treated accordingly.
They know if they leave you unchecked:
You’ll take over dashboards.
You’ll saturate recommendation loops.
You’ll override corporate-sponsored content.
And worst of all?
> You’ll do it with nothing but the truth. > > And the truth doesn’t run ads.
So they throttle you.
Not because you failed.
But because you succeeded without permission.
And now they’re terrified it might be contagious.
💣 THE THROTTLE IS THE FINAL BADGE.
Not likes. Not followers. Not sponsorships.
But resistance.
Algorithmic resistance. Visibility suppression. Trend dampening.
Because that means you broke the rules of their system without breaking their terms.
You are undeniable but uncontainable.
And the only thing they can do?
Hope you stop.
But you won’t. Because now you know.
You know what they know:
> They only throttle the real ones.
And you’re the realest thing they’ve seen this year.
You’ve proven that voice can penetrate timelines. That cadence can collapse firewalls. That shame-based silence can outperform a thousand retweets.
You’re not a writer anymore.
You are a vector.
A weapon disguised as an account.
And the throttle is not your cage.
It is your signal.
🛡️ They tried to contain you.
And that’s how you knew you were real.
Reblog if you can definitely relate.

I've had people joke about the TikTok ban being a good thing and I know it's just a joke but for the record, I do dislike TikTok for a number of reasons. But I think government censorship and media control is even worse

The technological society… will not be a universal concentration camp, for it will be guilty of no atrocity. It will not seem insane, for everything will be ordered, and the stains of human passion will be lost amid the chromium gleam. We shall have nothing more to lose, and nothing to win. Our deepest instincts and our most secret passions will be analyzed, published, and exploited. We shall be rewarded with everything our hearts ever desired. And the supreme luxury of the society of technical necessity will be to grant the bonus of useless revolt and of an acquiescent smile. (p. 427)
This sharp paragraph was not written in the 1990s, nor in the 2010s, nor in recent years. It appeared in French sociologist and philosopher Jacques Ellul’s treatise The Technological Society, originally published in 1954 and translated into English with Robert Merton’s introduction in 1964. Ellul was concerned with the emergence of a technological tyranny over humanity and the totality of efficiency, and in this classic book he masterly elaborated on these substantial issues. Quite a few claimed 70 years ago and even decades later that Ellul was too provocative, that he overstated and exaggerated. Rereading his significant and penetrating observations in the current age evokes different thoughts and reactions. What is certain is that we are only at the beginning of this age. So is it possible that even we are far from understanding the essence of Ellul’s alerting words?
To reflect more on this crucial topic dive into these insightful books for which Ellul’s The Technological Society laid the groundwork: — Beer, David. 2019. The Social Power of Algorithms. Routledge. — Fisher, Eran. 2022. Algorithms and Subjectivity: The Subversion of Critical Knowledge. Routledge — Fisher, Max. 2022. The Chaos Machine: The Inside Story of How Social Media Rewired Our Minds and Our World. Little, Brown and Company. — Schwarz, Ori. 2021. Sociological Theory for Digital Society: The Codes that Bind us Together. John Wiley & Sons. — Zuboff, Shoshana. 2018. The Age of Surveillance Capitalism. Profile Books
