First dispatch from the wet, green edge of the Pacific Northwest. 🌲🌊

I’ve traded the algorithmic noise for something real. I’m on Mastodon because values matter, just a stable place for humans to be humans. I’m here for:
#News that actually informs.
#Art and #Creatives who still have a pulse.
#HealthyLiving and the quiet strength of a clear head.
#ChicagoSports (the loyalty is deep)

Let’s find the edge together.

my major issue with the phrase "content creator" is the "content" part

with "creatives" it's that the word is used to suggest that there's a separate or elite class of people who can or do creative things

while "brand" doesn't seem to have an alternative positive definition - "agency" can either be a body with authority that directs your behavior or your own individual choice of autonomous behavior

@GhostOnTheHalfShell sadly that "#freedom" isn't extended to #consumers!

  • Which is IMHO bad [not questioning the fact that #WastefulComputing = #bad!] because it means that only rich Media Oligopolies have access to "#justice" and can enforce their rights.
    • And that is even more worse, because that'll only fuck over those #artists and #creatives that don't have the money to legally 'curbstomp' people at the slightest chance.

Not to mention the most brazen #Copyrightmafia Members (#Disney) are openly embracing #AIslop content.

  • Completely negating their own claims that they want to 'protect artists and make shure they get their deserved payment'...

So the UK government is backing away from requiring copyright holders to opt out of their stuff being used to train AI (unworkable, Kafkaesque, and unfair) and is now unclear what it is doing (long term unworkable, short term unclear and unfair)

Government backtracks on AI and copyright after outcry

However, the government's position is now unclear, saying it "no longer has a preferred option" for what to do next.
