Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
trans actual uk - trans led and run advocacy, education and empowerment organisation
fiveforfive - collective fund for trans women and girls and transfem causes
crazy crazy work every time a very sensible “hey, the creator of this thing is a powerfully harmful person and continuing to positively engage with their product makes you complicit in that harm” take comes down and the Tumblr Brain Trust pops out in the reblogs to be like “guys, don’t be scared! this person is being hyperbolic, they don’t mean it! what they mean is keep engaging with the horrible thing you enjoy, but be sheepish and cute about it, and keep reiterating that you’re liking it ‘the right way, to spite the creator’! nothing will change but you’ll continue to be able to stay comfy in your fandoms while posturing like you care! hope this helps ♥️”
i genuinely believe that schools need to immediately expel students for using gen AI & blacklist them from any other program for at least five years, because i don’t want to fucking deal with these useless twerps being credentialed in any field whatsoever. these fucking people are going to be your lawyers. your healthcare professionals. these people who are too fucking dumb to read, who would rather blindly trust a glorified predictive text generator than spend five minutes studying or thinking on their own.
at this point, if you didn’t receive your credentials before 2020, it is infinitely safer for me to assume that your degree is hollow, your work is fake, and your knowledge nonexistent unless & until proven otherwise.
we are genuinely not mean enough about this.
there’s always someone getting huffy because THEIR braindead shortcut is justified, or shamelessly abusing the entire concept of disability accommodation to argue that substituting chatgpt for all independent thought & intellectual labor is a win for “accessibility.” we need to start shunning these people and bullying them out of public life, especially if they hold any position of responsibility.
#i asked a med student to look something up #(a time-honored method of clinical teaching) #and he typed it into chat gpt and turned his phone around to show me the answer
christ almighty. these people are going to be responsible for life or death decisions.
and they don’t have any fucking brains, because they have signed over all intellectual effort to chat gpt, so your life is in the hands of someone who can’t even be fucked to look up information from a verifiable source.
“the best way to screw jkr over is by making her characters queer!” actually. The best way to screw jkr over is to stop engaging with the property she still profits off of and read a different fucking book
If you’re using gen AI because “you want to make art but don’t know how/can’t learn/it’s easier/whatever”
You don’t want to make art.
You want someone to make art for you, but you don’t want to pay or exchange anything of equal value for it, and also you want it right now, in whatever style you fancy that moment, and in whatever quantity you want. You’re greedy and entitled and it is just that simple. You don’t want to make anything.
shit ton of people are repeating the thing about hayao miyazaki saying AI art is an “insult to life itself” and just as a reminder he was talking about the zombies that team made that were intended to be scary in how much they shook, but instead reminded him of his disabled friend. the insult to life itself was referring to the team trying to make scary real symptoms that people live with.
it was a quote about ableism. if he has said other things about AI type stuff, that is a different thing. but that specific quote was about ableism.
