A Blog For...Stuff

First: THIS RECALL IS NOT STATE SPECIFIC. IT IS NATIONWIDE.

here are the specific products and dates:

FDA page on this:

they will now actually take notes of things that really happened in your fic, they make it sound personalised and genuine, but there's a way they talk that feels weirdly artificial, there's always a vague mention of some 'ideas' they have, if it raises your hackles trust those instincts and tread carefully, because ultimately-

they will ALWAYS LEAD YOU TO A SECONDARY LOCATION

suddenly changing up their writing style is a big red flag, wanting to take you off platform to some other site showcasing their 'art' is an even bigger red flag, REAL ARTISTS DO NOT DO THIS

no matter how genuine they sound, trust NOBODY advertising their art in your comment section, trust NOBODY who wants to take you off platform, NEVER go to that secondary location

Warning to anyone using Linktree.

From the 5th July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI.

"I mean, honestly, being human up here is one of the coolest things about this mission. We are just people trying to get by. And for example, we might go look at the far side of the moon and take in its awesomeness… and then go, "Hmm, maybe I should change my socks," and try to dig around for a pair of socks. So this is, uh, this is the dichotomy of human space flight." – Christina Koch, Mission Specialist (x)

It's the same beef I have with Fallout. I know they excuse humans being so slow to redevelop society with all "knowledge being lost in the war" but that's just...not how things work. Humans figured out construction and farming very early. There's no way for humans to truly forget how to do this stuff, especially since people survived and could preserve and share what they know. But I just cannot fathom how in 300 years no one's figured out construction or fiber arts or soap making or anything humans have historically figured out super early in the process of being human.

And the only way I can see someone write a world like that is if they either didn't care (fine, it's not real and I get digging the apocalypse vibe) or were so divorced from the process of labor and creation that they actually think those things are way too hard for someone to figure out on their own.

If you think humans couldn't do these things without being taught or helped you have a very warped idea of technological progress and human ingenuity. No one taught humans how to build and create, we figured it out on our own, and it was not just smacking rocks together until something clicked either, ancient humans were just as intelligent as modern ones, they could use logic and reasoning to figure out how to do something new based on what they already know.

Can we not. These are real people. People you don’t even know.

I mean fair play, this isn't your usual shitpost you often see from me

But that doesn't matter, this message is for the scrollers, the ignorers, the haters. It's for everyone.

You matter

Maybe you don't feel it, maybe no one has ever said it to you.

But everything you do, everything you ARE, matters

Every time you convert oxygen into carbon dioxide

Every time your heart beats and moves blood though your veins

Every electron and proton and neutron making up your body matters

But it's not just the science that makes you matter.

Your hobbies you've spent hours perfecting

Your personality carefully carved out by your experiences

Your achievements and failures and climbs and falls and hopes and despairs and wills to fight and wills to give up all matter.

Everything about you matters.

You are incredible.

You are extraordinary.

You are you.

“Oh but this language sounds scary-“ have you heard a child speak it while pointing at a butterfly?

“Oh but this language sounds silly-“ have you heard someone’s grandma recite a recipe with such practiced ease it comes off as poetry?

“Oh but this language is really weird-“ and yours isn’t? Everyone’s language is weird, dumbass, it came free with your fucking humanity.

Every tongue that is spoken is a work of art. Every language a unique window into the world.

For anyone wondering, The Verge shared a post on Bluesky linking to an article titled Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox. Forbes has also posted an article on their website titled Mozilla Bets Trust And User-First AI Wins The New Browser Wars. Long story short, they're going to be adding AI shenanigans to their browser much to the dismay of ... well ... everyone.

I'm very much displeased with the outcome and outlook of Firefox because I've been using it for 15+ years. With that being said, I definitely think y'all should switch web browsers ASAP. I 100% recommend the following:

Floorp

LibreWolf

Waterfox

All three are forks of Firefox (meaning that they created a browser using Firefox's code and such) so if you're used to Firefox's UI then you won't have any problems using the these three. Floorp and LibreOffice haven't implement ANY forms of AI into their browsers as of yet. Waterfox, on the other hand, has EXPLICITLY STATED that they're anti-AI. So that's definitely something worth looking into.

UPDATE: I've done a strikethrough for Floorp and LibreWolf because I just found out they do, in fact, have AI shit planned later on down the road. I definitely recommend you going with Waterfox.

Slop used to (and still is to extend) to mock AI trying to create things off of human artwork like fanfics, art, etc.

But now it's used to clump whole genres together or someone takes inspiration from harmless and generic tropes in media into their story, it automatically means "slop".

People forget humans still made this "slop" and it's makes me wonder do these people rather take things from robots than humans?

Not everything is for you, that's why different genres and tropes exist. You can dislike something, not everything is going to be your cup of tea. That's fine. If you looked into something and came out not liking it is valid, you tried something and you didn't like it. We wouldn't know what media or tropes we like or don't like.

But pushing the "slop" onto these things to discourage people from liking it is petty behaviour.

We are in a stage of robots taking humans jobs and artists, to point artists and writers feel discourage.

There has been multiple cases before AI slop where media being bad or a cash cow has inspired more humans creations. People write re-writes or aus or art because of it.

Even bad media or cash cows can create new things because we are humans, we have been creating art for centuries. Humans are still behind these cash cows and bad media, it's not made by an AI that steals human works.

As much I hate cash cows as the next person but I can acknowledge that a human made it. I rather take bad media or cash cow media over AI that's destroying the environment, raising up everyone's prices because corporate ai companies can't afford it because of how many people are using it, stealing humans hard work anytime.

One has a human touch to an extent.

One has stolen art work of multiple humans blood and sweat.

This is the same with genres that existed in media for years being seen as "slop" or a story taking tropes into "tropes slop"

Like it started with "you can rp with your favorite characters!" That's still bad cause well, ai, but whatever, I can see how that would be appealing. Now they're just preying mentally ill people, like talking to your """ai friend""" is better than talking to actual people. Like the ai can actually replace the compassion of another human .
