I never thought pumping would feel so natural. My chest feels achy like my body is begging to be pumped before my alarm goes off every three hours. It’s like my breasts are fulfilling their purpose and I’ve never felt more feminine.

That old art looks really good even if it is old. Do you happen to have more we can see? 🥰

Tysm!

And sure, I still have a few pieces I can share with you guys. Though the quality does differ with each piece, and that's because of my mental health when I drew them and how bad my tics were that day.

So, I made a tool to stop AI from stealing from writers

So seeing this post really inspired me in order to make a tool that writers could use in order to make it unreadable to AI.

And it works! You can try out the online demo, and view all of the code that runs it here!

It does more than just mangle text though! It's also able to invisibly hide author and copyright info, so that you can have definitive proof that someone's stealing your works if they're doing a simple copy and paste!

Below is an example of Scrawl in action!

Τо հսⅿаոѕ, 𝗍հᎥꜱ 𝗍ех𝗍 𐌉ο໐𝗄ꜱ ո໐𝗋ⅿаⵏ, ���ս𝗍 𝗍о ᴄоⅿрս𝗍е𝗋ꜱ, Ꭵ𝗍'ѕ սո𝗋еаⅾа𝖻ⵏе!

[Text reads "To humans, this text looks normal, but to computers, it's unreadable!"]

Of course, this "Anti-AI" mode comes with some pretty serious accessibility issues, like breaking screen readers and other TTS software, but there's no real way to make text readable to one AI but not to another AI.

If you're okay with it, you can always have Anti-AI mode off, which will make it so that AIs can understand your text while embedding invisible characters to save your copyright information! (as long as the website you're posting on doesn't remove those characters!)

But, the Anti-AI mode is pretty cool.

hi meetup people!!! look at them! 14 years old and definitely cishet and months away from being so stupidly obsessed with dan and phil and chronically on tumblr it makes their tummy hurt. here i am now 12 years later more or less thriving i guess.

finding dan and phil tumblr was one of the major things that got me out of the catholic school conservative mindfuckery that i subscribed to and felt stuck in. for the first time in my life i was exposed (through the power of the internet) to ideas and perspectives so radically different than everything i grew up around. i was connected with real life queer people and was able to consider that maybe i had a queer identity myself (i do). its crazy to think how wildly different my life would be if i hadnt found dan and phil tumblr.

to me its always been more than these two dudes. its about the people i met. the things i was safe to explore within myself with the community for the first time in my life. the freedom to be so unapolagetically cringe and free and myself when the world i lived in didnt want me to be that. to learn about social issues that i had been taught didnt matter or were part of some liberal agenda. so here i am and its safe to say i pretty much 180'ed in these 12 years and it was for the better. so thanks dan and phil and honestly thanks everyone who i met along the way.

I have to wonder how many people celebrating AI translation also complain about "broken English" and how obvious it is something was Google translated from another language without a fluent English speaker involved to properly clean up the translation/grammar.

Because I bet it's a lot.

I know why execs are all for it—AI is the new buzzword and it lets them cut jobs thus "save" money and not have to worry about pesky labour laws when one employs humans—but everyone else?

There was some outcry when Crunchyroll fired many of their translators in favour of AI translation (with some people to "clean up the AI's work") but I can't help but think that was in part because it was Japanese-to-English and personally affected them. Same when Duolingo fired many of their translators in favour of LLM translation. Meanwhile companies are firing staff when it's English to another language and there's this idea that that's fine or not as big a deal because English is "easy" to translate and/or because people don't think of how it will impact people in non-English countries.

Also it doesn't affect native English speakers so it doesn't get much headway in the news cycle or online anyway because so much of the dominant media is from English-speaking countries and English-speakers dominate social media.

But different languages have different grammar structures that LLMs don't do, and I grew up on "jokes" about people speaking in "broken English" and mocking people who use the wrong word when it was clearly a literal translation but the meaning was obvious long before LLMs were a thing, too. In fact, the specific way a character spoke broken English has been a way to denote their native tongue for decades, usually in a racist way.

Then Google translate came out and "Google-translated English" became an insult for people and criticism of companies because it was clearly wonky to native speakers. Even now, LLMs—which are heavily trained on English compared to other languages—don't have a natural output so native English speakers can clock LLM-generated text if it's longer than a sentence or two.

But, for whatever reason, it's not seen as a problem when it goes the other way because fuck non-English readers or people who want to read in their native tongue I guess.

MACHINE HERALD SOON

[damn-it-a-hogwarts-legacy-blog]

Oh yeah I forgot, a few weeks ago I expressed interest in AI for getting some rough ideas of what Isabel and Ominis’ children look like. So to the very kind and sweet anon who was asking, here they are :)

The emphasis here is certainly on rough, these are absolutely terrible and I had to tweak a few things myself, but the concepts are there lmao. Someday I’ll draw them and do it right.

Left to right: Joseph, Jane and Theodore

I remember back when I had tik tok and ppl were talking about how everytime they start a job they don't get trained properly and then they end up getting fired because they weren't taught to do anything and the way it's happening to me rn

I need them to put Max and Daniel together for press this week.

I need him to defend Daniel from all the rude questions that will undoubtedly come.

We all know he’s too PR friendly to do it himself.

im going to berlin on thursday to see the welcome to nightvale live show and I just found out that our universally beloved and admirably reliable public transit system has once again decided to go on a nationwide strike on THAT EXACT FUCKING DAY and I had to find out via some fucking pseudo destiel meme on tumblr of all places 🤡
