#tech and humanity

[prometheusexe]

Reposted because the original poster blocked me — and conversations like this don’t just disappear. They deserve clarity, not erasure.

Okaaaaay... Let’s break down each of those points, one by one. 🫠

Because if we’re going to shout about AI ethics, maybe we should actually talk ethics — not just post 12-step guides on how to isolate people and call it “activism.”

1. “When your friend or family mentions AI garbage, tell them how you feel about it, and that you hate it when people use it.” 🧠 Sure — communication is healthy. But trying to guilt your loved ones into feeling bad about a tool they may rely on (especially disabled folks) isn’t “speaking your truth,” it’s moral grandstanding.

2. “Download and then delete free AI apps and leave reviews on them about how bad and unethical AI garbage is.” 📉 This isn’t protest — it’s review bombing. It doesn't change corporate policy, and it drowns out honest feedback from people with legitimate concerns and actual use cases.

3. “When you see a post with an AI generated image in it, comment about there being ai slop in it.” 🗑️ If your activism amounts to drive-by harassment, it's not activism. It’s just bullying in a socially-acceptable trench coat.

4. “Urge politicians to make laws regulating AI.” ✔️ This one? Yes. We agree. Please do! Regulation matters — but let’s base it on facts, not fearmongering or Tumblr takes.

5. “Don’t use AI ‘tools’ when a program or website tries to push them on you.” 🛠️ Then don’t — but don’t shame others for using accessibility tools, content aids, or creative support systems that help them thrive.

6. “Contact companies adding AI to their service about how much you hate AI and how unethical it is.” 📬 Feedback is good. But sweeping “AI = unethical” hot takes don’t help anyone. Be specific. Target exploitative data practices or lack of transparency — not the existence of the tech.

7. “Tell your friends and family how much you hate AI.” 🫤 Repeating the same complaint over and over doesn’t make it more meaningful. Especially when your neurodivergent cousin is using AI to manage her executive dysfunction.

8. “Don’t reblog or repost AI generated content.” 👀 That’s your choice. But gatekeeping visibility doesn’t make your blog morally superior — it just narrows the conversation.

9. “Fill out surveys about opinions on AI and say you don’t like it.” ✅ Go for it. Just remember: valid criticism hits harder when it’s informed and balanced — not reactionary.

10. “Refuse to use AI even if your workplace or school forces you to.” 📉 You’re allowed to take a stand. But demanding others sabotage their job, grades, or accommodations because you personally don’t like AI? That’s not solidarity — it’s self-righteousness.

11. “Keep posting about hating AI no matter how big it becomes.” 📢 Free speech is real. So is repetition fatigue. If you're screaming louder than you’re thinking, you’re not winning a war — you’re just spinning in place.

12. “Cut people out of your life who use AI until they stop.” 🪓 This is cult mentality dressed as conviction. Encouraging people to socially isolate others over a tool? That’s not activism. That’s control.

And just to add some ✨context✨:

The author claims to be neurodivergent — which makes it all the more disheartening. Many neurodivergent folks depend on AI to bridge executive dysfunction, manage anxiety, process language, or create safely. Treating them like villains because their support tool doesn’t fit your aesthetic? That’s ableism, not ethics.

If you're serious about fighting unethical AI use, start by demanding transparency, better labour rights, consent-based training data, and clear opt-out mechanisms.

Not just yelling "AI bad" while using Tumblr, Discord, and TikTok — all running on the same infrastructure as the models you hate.

The real enemy isn’t the tool. It’s how humans choose to wield it.

The Robot Watchdog: Is This the End of the Human-Robot Bond?

In a world where technology is advancing at lightning speed, it’s no surprise that robots are being integrated into nearly every aspect of our lives—especially the workplace. Some companies are taking things to a whole new level by employing robots to keep track of employees’ working time. These robots don’t just check in on how long you’re at your desk. They also monitor your productivity.…

MY HONEST OPINION

Me and some of my moots tbh

thinking about a parallel universe where furries with big useless bappy paws exist IRL, but so does that one dumbass apple mouse that has no buttons, a charging port on the bottom, and a shape that is extremely uncomfortable to use if you have normal adult human hands

do you guys think that yautjas have like,,, their own form of social media and thirst edits and stuff? like one of the yautjas would be like:

“this is my hear me out”: shows picture of human reader after another gladiatorial combat, all messy, tired, filthy and most definitely covered in whatever blood of the creature

and the comments are either

yautja.No1: you fool, your “hear me out” is supposed to be something diabolical. like xenomorph or something

ooman_fvcker: i’m hearing you out

galacticalmenace: that ain’t a “hear me out”. that’s a “hold me back”

xeno-hater: i ain’t no damn prey but…

Hero of Bombs AU (original concept by @mipmoth)

The crossover I didn’t know I desperately needed but do indeed desperately need, & thanks to Tears of the Kingdom, we do have Bomb Flowers & all manner of projectiles for Ingo to throw at baddies, or to Link in a pinch! 💣

I’d go back to their original comic now & again (partially because Legends Arceus really reminds me of BotW), where Moth imagines Ingo in BotW Hyrule with the popularly feral Link. In this AU of their AU it’s more or less the same, except Link is cured of his amnesia, & wants to help Ingo with his, as well as help him go home.

i loved seeing the moment of stone realising he was going to stick with robotnik (─‿‿─) could we see the moment ROBOTNIK realises stone is here for good?

Robotnik isn't used to people being happy to see him

Google is hiding the truth, and playing with words to change the facts, and to change the truth about what happened in Nuseirat camp, it's literally censoring the Nuseirat Massacre.

What really makes us so different?

Is mechanical life really so much below organic life?

I was trying to think of a title then realized we literally had Tech for a whole season less than the rest of the batch and now I'm sad
