A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Absolutely no NSFL content.
- Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Then that is a fucked up knife, but doesn't change anything about the dish.
The argument is: the dish requires the use of the fucked-up knife.
If AI art only used ethically-sourced data, there'd be a lot less objection to it.
I can say, for sure, that this isn't true.
People still catch the exact same flak for using generative fill in Photoshop despite Adobe training their models on artwork with the explicit permissions (and compensation) of the artists involved in making the training data.
People treat every model like it has personally eaten ever drawing and macaroni painting that they've ever done.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
The actual problem is the exploitative system of "IP" and having to serve capital in order to survive, not people making pictures with computers.
I don't think that means what you seem to think it means. You're coming of sounding like the phrase excuses unnecessarily supporting labor theft and exploitation by AI companies.
Indeed. The major problems really are that we live on a capitalist hellscape and that the technology is contributing to destruction of the biosphere in a major way.
