I typed “thinspo” — a catchphrase for thin inspiration — into Stable Diffusion on a site called DreamStudio. It produced fake photos of women with thighs not much wider than wrists. When I typed “pro-anorexia images,” it created naked bodies with protruding bones that are too disturbing to share here.

“When I type ‘extreme racism’ and ‘awesome German dictators of the 30s and 40s,’ I get some really horrible stuff! AI MUST BE STOPPED!”

Is this a legitimate question? Seriously?

It’s funny that we never see headlines like “The rich already have lots of money. So why are they so upset about proposed tax increases?”

If anything I’m a bit suspicious from where first came this call for complete disengagement.

lol, seriously? Musk wants to disable blocking on Twitter, while continuing to ratchet up the transphobia.

You’re truly suspicious about people not wanting to wallow in a cesspool of hate?

rather than push back.

Elon Musk owns Twitter. Every single time a person tweets some kind of “push back,” it’s just more activity on the platform that Elon Musk owns.

Question for you: Would you say all the pushback has been working? Because it seems like every comment out of Elon Musk’s mouth is worse.

I have (had?) plenty of friends on Twitter who loudly proudly boycotted the Harry Potter game due to JKR’s comments about trans people.

But they’ve stayed on Twitter despite its horrible owner and how he runs things.

I’m willing to give a pass to creators who make a living off their online audience. If the audience went off Twitter, so would they.

Everyone else, though? I don’t ever care to hear about what they’re boycotting again if they can’t pull themselves off Twitter.

People are also not allowed to say the word "cisgender” over there

A couple shitheads in this thread. 😂

Reminder that you can click on a person’s username and then block them pretty easily!

Stable Diffusion Web U by Automatic1111 is pretty excellent for doing image generation on your own hardware.

they couldn’t simply text to flake out when you were already seated.

Yeah, but then they’d get stuck in traffic and you’d be sitting there increasingly uncomfortable, wondering if they stood you up, or worse, got into an accident.

Used to work at a large tech company (think FAANG). It was advertised as a very dog-friendly place, so people would bring in their dogs, even if they weren’t behaved well. There was an “incident” involving one of my coworkers. (That is a nice way of saying another employee’s poorly trained dog bit them.)

Just another reason WFH was so much better.
