thurgikal is clearly a terf and should be blocked.

#i see what youre doing #youre better than the other cryptos #but you just are SO deeply sex essentialist its painfully obvious #transandrophobia #terf blocklist #anti transmasculinity #just block them dont give them the reaction and attention they want #just make it clear they are NOT with us

I think terminally online people in this site are taking the "putting the gender in boxes" a bit too far

I just saw a post by a tumblr user state that beauty standards set by some social networks can be difficult for the people that have started transitioning because of the obsession with passing, which in itself is not a bad take, but it really does depend on the community one moves around, only to have another tumblr user react negatively to this and OP immediately pull up a screenshot of a reblog by this user of a post saying that men that enjoy artificial feminine traits such as makeup and dresses and other fashion should not be automatically considered to be trans (again, not a bad take, as it is for diluting the gender roles) in order to shun them because some people have used the "Boys can use makeup" argument malicioulsy in order to invalidate the experience of trans women and thus they are a piece of shit for sharing it, and

I just

Some people REALLY need to touch grass on this matter

Cause they're starting to write as if they were in a cult

#The tone of this post is: What the fuck? (nervously)#like when a friend starts trying to sell you their new crypto scam #or when a rando in the bar explains their conspiracy theory about how pigeons have cameras #OP then had “transandrophobia is not real” in their bio which tells you a lot about this #like of course they don't think considerning “Boys can use makeup” as anti trans women can be harmful to trans men gnc men and NB folks #you must have empathy with them in the first place #lgtbqia+#lgtb

I remember that time thinking about playing Fer.al (created by WildWorks), This thought happen when I saw a Tumblr post about Clark apologizing about it. It was created when I was under 13, and I gotta wait for a year so I can join. However Fer.al got shut down so I don't think I can play it.

#I sure do wonder what mythical creature I get to be If I'm old enough #Sadly this stuff uses crypto nfts I believe #thats the reason why it shutted down #I expect them to have corporate greed just like every other company :/#after going through avatars in fer.al wiki I think I shall be shinigami they look cool as fuck #but if i cant afford it then I shall be senri #SpooksRamble

Is Trump getting enthusiastic about bitcoin actually going to win him any votes? I feel like the percentage of people who care about cryptocurrency at all is a small minority (probably a very small minority) of the total population

#i still have yet to understand a use case for crypto that isn't 'its useful for illegal things' tbh #doesn't mean there isn't one it just means i don't understand what it could be

what *is* cryptofash?

it's short for cryptofascist, it's a term used for someone who covertly supports fascist sentiments or ideas adjacent to them without explicitly signaling it. someone who's cryptofash might closely associate with people who are more openly alt-right, express sympathy for fascist talking points, and voice certain statements/ideas common in fascist circles that, while not always strictly fascist ideas in isolation, can imply alt-right thinking when in tandem with other common fascist sentiments. in essence it's that guy you've always been suspicious of but you can't say for certain if they're just under-educated, reactionary, or a genuine nazi until you discover screenshots of them asking the jewish question in a discord server

#speedrunning has a fuckton of these and there's two you may recognize #rwhitegoose and karl jobst #both have been outed through screenshot evidence from the same server spouting white supremacist shit #particularly about jewish and chinese people #karl jobst was just never found out until later because the shit rwg had said was so much more horrifying #several youtubers i'm extremely wary of because i suspect them #internethistorian is on the more visible end of crypto because of his associations with openly alt-right youtubers #his earlier videos being all about 4chan and its culture while using its lingo and associated memes #and his covid denialist/antivax tweets to name just a few reasons #manykudos i'm not certain on but it's more his associations and less what he thinks and says #he's dunked on people who are 'a little too into war history for it to just be a hobby' before which is like #not a group you'd typically make fun of if you were fash so it makes me think he's Aware #magicmush gives me huge cryptofash vibes because of the subject matter of his videos being all about #standard fare online punching bags including cwc #and anybody who talks about 'lolcows' is instantly shitlisted for me because it's fucking blatant what their politics are #wendigoon is also crypto for me because unfortunately if you talk about being a pro-gun christian #while also associating with other people who just exude right-leaning proclivities #i'm not gonna trust you #etc etc

Working in publishing, my inbox is basically just:

Article on the Horrors of AI

Article on How AI Can Help Your Business

Article on How AI Has Peaked

Article on How AI Is Here to Stay Forever

Article on How AI Is a Silicon Valley Scam That Doesn't Live Up to the Promise and In Fact Can't Because They've Literally Run Out of Written Words to Train LLMs On

#allison's work life #artificial generation fuckery #in point of fact we're lumping a lot of things into 'AI' so probably bits of them are all true #i think AI narration probably is here to stay because we've been mass training that for ages (what did you think alexa and siri were?)#i think ai covers will stick around on the low price point end unless those servers go the way of crypto #but as with everywhere they'll be limited because you can't ask an ai for design alts #(and do you guys know how many fucking passes it takes to make minute finicky changes to get exec to sign off on a cover?)#i think ai translation for books will die on the vine - you'd have to feed the whole text of your book to the ai and publishers hate that #ai writing is absolute garbage at long form so it will never replace authorship #it's also not going to be used to write a lot of copy because again you'd have to feed the ai your book and publishers say no way #like the thing to keep in mind is publishers want to save money but they want to control their intellectual property even more #that's the bread and butter #the number 1 thing they don't want to do is feed the books into an LLM #christ we won't even give libraries a fair deal on ebooks you think they're just going to give that shit away to their competitors??#but also i don't think the server/power/tech issue is sustainable for something like chatgpt and it is going to go the way of crypto #is humanity going to create an actual artificial intelligence that can write and think and draw?#yeah probably eventually #i do not think this attempt is it #they got too greedy and did too much too fast and when the money dries up? that's it #maybe I'm wrong but i just think the money will dry out long before the tech improves

sees post about tumblr banning transfemmes. on a complete whim decides to look up the url of someone on the list of nuked blogs.

one result is a melodramatic "callout" where op talks about their mental health in a "woe is me" manner for several paragraphs at length before naming and shaming the nuked blog in question for sending them death threats, though absolutely zero evidence is provided, not even a screenshot or direct quote of what the message even contained.

checks op's blog.

Literally the only thing they post is AI-generated images of Herry Puttor characters.

#ada weblog tag #tw transphobia #//oh yes i believe you op!! i believe you are providing us with the full context of what the trans blogger sent you!#//btw unrelated can you say ''trans rights are human rights'' for me real quick #//like i was expecting/looking for some kinda crypto-torf shenanigans #//but every single post was of like. pixar-style ai lilee x snope. ai lilee pregnant in a wedding dress. brooding ai drake omalfey.

I think I might’ve teared my tutor a new one…

#oh let me tell you I let all out #like crying snot falling screeching #I questioned everything and let me tell you I was not surprised when I asked if they had actually researched anythinh about the topic #and she said no #that out job is to do the research so they can ’’learn’’ and use it as a material for future lessons #and I’m like sure.. I can do research no problem #but have you considered the ethical AND ecologial side of this?#and she literally goes ’’tbh no.. I have not even thought about that’’#jesus take the wheel (actually take the whole fucking car)#plus she had no idea why I’m the only one in a group of just exchange students #and don’t get me wrong they’re very sweet people #but I’m not a project manager nor a babysitter #one of them has studied english for ONE YEAR #and she’s strugggglingggg #so we got to the point where instead of fucking around with fucking crypto wallets and NTF’s we could study the rise fall and darkside of #metaverse cryptocurrencies etc #and don’t ask me what the innovation is because the tutor had no idea either but…#I rather write a thesis about this than fuck around with blockchains bitcoins and whatever the shit #thank FUCK I’m seeing Kuumaa and Käärijä this weekend #might’ve actually done something really stupid if I didn’t have something else to think about #irl shenanigans

Imagine if AI could be used for something actually helpful instead of being something extremely creepy, invasive and useless

#how can we as human beings possess the power to create shit like this and use it for shits and giggles or for very exploitative purposes #and not use our capabilities to improve our lives? like cool ai generated picture bro but how can we change things for better?#it’s so frustrating #because people will fund the most random project and for what?#having worked in crypto made me realize we’re utterly fucked as a society

hey what is going on in tech right now that we keep having to do this "new buzzword dominating every conversation you have" thing every year

#i swear to god it didn't used to be this prevalent or change this frequently #like if tech companies were getting into something you at least wouldn't have to hear about it every day but now its like #2021 every single day you will hear about nfts. everyone will need to learn what crypto is #2022 every single day you will hear about the metaverse. everyone will know what the metaverse is #2023 every single waking minute you will hear about AI. forever.#and in the case of those last 2 the terms are mostly big bc they mean nothing and get applied to everything #anyway. will the AI shit crash and burn like metaverse and nfts did before it or are we going to be stuck in this one forever #i personally think its a lot less likely to flop like the other 2 because a lot of regular people are actually buying into this one #and playing with stuff that's labeled AI in a way that nobody did with stuff labeled as metaverse #like metaverse and nft headlines were always about some company trying to push it into consumers #but most of the stuff around machine generated stuff (somehow we count this as Intelligence i guess) is from regular people.#avpost #im tired im ready to be done with all this i don't want to have to hear elon musk's thoughts ever again.#fully ready to become old man yelling at cloud.

Tbh 90% of the weird mean spirited posts i see on here are authored by tphobes/cryptos i think people need to think a little harder on what most of these people actually mean rather than the surface level understanding of it

#For example lrb. ''People are only FAKE WEIRD'' most ppl think of the tiktokers that make autism/dissociation/etc a silly relatable thing #Rather than what op actually meant which was ''trans people are obviously just pretending to be like us Actual weirdos'' which would b funny #If it werent so abhorrently evil to even think #Like i dont blame ppl for just reblogging and moving on with life but the second i saw that post smth didnt sit right with me #99% of the time i trust my gut instinct with these kinds of posts and lo and behold im usually correct in that its cruelty to be cruel #IDK once again im not faulting anyone for interacting with that post at all but people need to recognize crypto shit when its there #Its so easy for someone to say something on surface level thats easy to agree with but the underlying meaning is much worse #emf
