  • In some African countries, fundie preachers – styled after American tent revivalists – are almost everywhere to the point of omnipresent as evidenced by the large number of banners for local pastors running their own tentpole ministries. Their influence is so enormous that they even warp government policies, as in the case of Uganda and entrenched anti-homosexuality panics.

    So this is a change. Like people should have the right to have peaceful uninterrupted conveyance.










  • It is plunder. The training data is gathered by copying any available human-produced media but without author consent.

    It is also horror in that with nearly all the tech companies making the pivot to AI and the costs of parts are high, suddenly it becomes very expensive now to own a computer or even a smartphone, and then the major proprietary operating systems have some form of so-called AI assistance. The giant heads are now raking in insane amounts of money.

    Worse, even governments are now going full-hog on AI believing this is the way to go, and encouraging people to embrace it because “it’s almost like magic”, while absolutely disregarding its destructive effects on art, science, human rights, and the environment.

    Nothing else makes my head scream seeing the invasion of AI slop at practically everywhere I go. Especially that 300-like artwork.
