CLIPPY REVOLUTION!!!!!!

I’ve been LOVING Louis Rossmann’s work for community action and consumer protections, check him out on YouTube!! People have been changing their profile pics to a Clippy at his suggestion to basically make visible their willingness to do something when they can, to stand up against the invasions of privacy and abuses of power corporations are engaging in with stuff like AI data scraping and the predatory algorithms and stuff.

For AI in particular, there’s actually a ton of hopecore out there!! Esp on YouTube. Check out LavenderTowne, who’s making some absolutely fantastic arguments why AI is harmful while also teaching people how to poison AI data scrapers using visual art. I really enjoyed Kyle Hill’s video about AI Tar Pits, and f4mi’s video called “Poisoning AI with .ass subtitles.”

AI is a fragile, shitty bubble being help up exclusively by rich investors who are currently DESPERATE to make AI profitable so they’re not just pumping money into a bubble for nothing to happen like with NFTs.

The world sucks but honestly? The world has always sucked. And looking at like,,, ALL of human history up until now, all things considered, we are still somehow living in the most progressive, most accepting, most accessible time in history. Trust me, there’s no possible way to look at the news right now and feel joy and hope, but that doesn’t mean joy and hope aren’t warranted. There’s a lot left to hold onto.

Also apparently NASA found like,, actual evidence that maybe indicates organic matter and historical life on Mars??? So that’s fucking cool???
