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!”
To everyone who thinks this Tweet is in reply to the shitstorm over the past 24 hours: it isn’t. Check the date.

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?

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.
Or say the word "cisgender”
its unfair on both sides because boy children aren’t allowed to have anything fancy, and are only seen as what they can offer to society as opposed to being people in and of themselves, while girl children are seen as only for being pretty
This is a great example of what people mean when they say that the patriarchy hurts everyone.
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.
If the launch code is “Person Woman Man Camera TV” then we’re really screwed.
