So now I am being expected to tell these greedy AI fucks that they are NOT allowed to steal my stuff to build their own business? What the actual fuck is going on?!? I should not have to chase down each of these grifters and tell them it’s ok. Are all you people who enthusiastically use these tools okay with my work being taken without my permission? Fuck you if you do and stop following me.

There's a parliamentary petition for an independent review of the Cass report into gender medical services for young people. It's a highly problematic document commissioned by the previous government and shaped by anti-trans viewpoints. If you're a Brit, you can sign it, whether you live in the UK or not. Please do. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700217

Attached: 1 image Important reminder, if you own a domain name and don't use it for sending email. There is nothing to stop scammers from sending email claiming to be coming from your domain. And the older it gets, the more valuable it is for spoofing. It could eventually damage your domain's reputation and maybe get it blacklisted, unless you take the steps to notify email servers that any email received claiming to come from your domain should be trashed. Just add these two TXT records to the DNS for your domain: TXT v=spf1 -all TXT v=DMARC1; p=reject; The first says there is not a single SMTP server on earth authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. The second says that any email that says otherwise should be trashed. If you do use your domain for sending email, be sure to add 3 records: SPF record to indicate which SMTP server(s) are allowed to send your email. DKIM records to add a digital signature to emails, allowing the receiving server to verify the sender and ensure message integrity. DMARC record that tells the receiving email server how to handle email that fails either check. You cannot stop scammers from sending email claiming to be from your domain, any more than you can prevent people from using your home address as a return address on a mailed letter. But, you can protect both your domain and intended scam victims by adding appropriate DNS records. UPDATE: The spf and the dmarc records need to be appropriately named. The spf record should be named "@", and the dmarc record name should be "_dmarc". Here's what I have for one domain. One difference that I have is that I'm requesting that email providers email me a weekly aggregated report when they encounter a spoof. gmail and Microsoft send them, but most providers won't, but since most email goes to Gmail, it's enlightening when they come. #cybersecurity #email #DomainSpoofing #EmailSecurity #phishing

Every time you use #ChatGPT, half a litre of #water goes to waste #GenerativeAI already uses as much energy as a small country and is predicted to rival that of Japan within a year. Such searches use 10 times the energy of a normal web search. “We’re wasting a lot of water with these systems, and very few people realise that it’s a major problem. That’s why I think personally the No.1 priority for the sector should be #sustainability. Not the #AI race.” https://www.smh.com.au/technology/every-time-you-use-chatgpt-half-a-cup-of-water-goes-to-waste-20241128-p5kubq.html

I am deeply alarmed for the trans and gender expansive community in the UK. What the fuck: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/united-kingdom-bans-puberty-blockers-indefinitely-its-a-death-sentence/ (Yes also alarmed about what's happening in the US, esp in Florida right now, and what the next four years may bring.) #UKPol #USPol #Trans #LGBTQ

If you have to stream it, you don’t own it. If you have to log in to it, you don’t own it. If you have to “activate” or “register” it, you don’t own it. If you have to connect it to somebody else’s computer EVER, for ANY REASON, then YOU. DON’T. OWN. IT. Any and all of these methods will be used against you for somebody else’s profit. If you yell about personal property rights but you don’t sign on to these statements, you are not serious about property rights. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/12/startup-will-brick-800-emotional-support-robot-for-kids-without-refunds/
